Is God's existence objectively verifiable?

So you trust the written word of primitives unlikely to truly understand the intent and meaning of a non-linear being, and then repeatedly altered throughout one of history's darkest times for reasons that seemed to oddly benefit those in power? Good on you.

Preach all you want, but it doesn't answer the God Paradox. At the end of the day, God created everything from nothing. In this creation, he either messed up (which he apparently can't) and created a system that can damn the things he supposedly loves to eternal torment, OR he simply doesn't love us and would rather subjugate us the way a king subjugates serfs.

So answer me this: Is your god fallible, or is he apathetic?

I believe scripture is God breathed. God went through man to write it. I don't believe God would allow HIS word to be altered by man into anything that isn't true. If one accepts that God exists (which I do), and one accepts that God is all powerful (which I do), and one accepts that nothing that happens could ever alter what God has planned (which I do), then believing God's scripture is infallible is not difficult.

God isn't fallible or apathetic. Do you honestly believe I'd be talking to you, or even caring about my own existence or life if I thought otherwise? I mean, how depressing would it be to live life with no hope whatesoever? Why not just kill myself now and get it over with if I know hell is waiting for me? I do not believe either of those at all. Apathetic would be if HE didn't give us a way out of our condemnation. He gave us Jesus Christ, who died the worst death in history (way beyond just physical pain), despite not sinning once. And he didn't mess up. He gave humans brains to think for themselves and people chose to hurt themselves (by sinning and distancing themselves from God). We are a destructive race, but that doesn't mean God created us wrong. With choice comes temptation to do what isn't right, and we do that all the time. Praise be to God that HE gave us salvation through Jesus Christ, despite all the terrible things I do in my life.

Except the Bible has been translated several times and entire BOOKS have been omitted. The Bible is not the word of God, it is the fallible writings of man. 

 

You didn't answer the question, either. You argued in a circle using a bunch of philosophical nonsense, just like my preacher did when I brought the God Paradox to him. It's a trick question, by the way, one designed to dismantle most religious arguments. See, it doesn't matter what excuse you give, because your God still created a foundation that conflicts with at least one thing you think about him. If he loved us, he wouldn't have created a system that we can fail. If he wanted free will, he wouldn't punish it with eternal torment. And if he has a plan, there is no free will.

 

Simple, childish questions unraveling entire religions. Silly.
