APPLEAL TO THE UNKNOWN GOD(short version)

It was your right to create the universe the way you wanted.
It was your right to create man in your image.
It was your right to give him the capacity for what you declared good and what you declared evil.
It was and still is your right to act within creation anyway that you feel you need to.
As creator this is your right.

So to the unknown god, i do ask the following questions.

Is it good or evil to create an agent of freewill (mankind) and then punish him if he chooses not to obey you?
Is it good or evil to fill him with fleshly desires and then punish him when he acts upon them?
Is it good or evil to ask him to trust in you; yet during his darkest hour, you refuse to reveal yourself?
Is it good or evil to declare yourself provider while many die each day of starvation?
Is it good or evil to declare yourself healer while many suffer each day from debilitating sickness; many which often kill them?

From all this we can conclude:

The unknown god is indeed powerful
The unknown god is indeed intelligent
The unknown god is indeed timeless
The unknown god is indeed space-less
The unknown god has created a universe with great detail

Yet

The unknown god may not or may not be personal
A distant specter; always curious, but seldom interested in interaction with his creations
Content with allowing his creation to go about as they please; only intervening at certain predisposed junctions in history
Can the unknown god be truly called friend?
Does he truly care?


Is the unknown god truly knowable?

I don't know.

May I ask if you read the Bible? If so you would know....

1) God sticketh closer than any brother (Prov 18:24)
2) God is omnipotent (all powerful) (Rev 19:6)
3) God is omniscient (all knowing) (Psalms 44:21), (Hebrews 4:13), (1 Cor 2:10)

Just to name a few...

Yes, I have read the Bible. but just because something quotes scripture doesn't mean its true. I was commenting on what I saw in the world around me and how The unknown God chooses to reply (or if he even cares to) about it. Someone suffering from all the evils of the world would argue that the god describe in the pages of the Bible dont match what they see in the world around them. So they can quote all the verses they want...but ultimately its what one experiences that mostly figures to how they will believe.

Because he has created us free, what we experience is the doing of this world we live in and the result of our own hand and others'. At the end is your choice just as it was at the beginning... all he has done is give you the choice of eternal life at the price of a God who made him self flesh to prove love and friendship...i shall not fail you my creator and loving friend. Praying for all those souls that need his word in their hearts.

Oh my! I can really sense the defiance here!

Ok. Well in this case you can believe whatever you want to believe. God gives us that free will. But in the end, whether you believe it or not, acknowledge it or not or even accept it or not, every page in the Bible IS THE TRUE AND INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD.

Hope you REALLY enjoy this lifes' journey!

Defiance? I was merely playing devils advocate if you would allow me a certain leeway. Yes, Ive had my moments of doubts from time to time, I assume we all have.. Now then, simply declaring something with caps doesnt make it true...then to add injury to someone who meant you no harm...and I quote you. Hope you Really enjoy this lifes journey..only invalidates your argument even more. I have nothing against you. I was just basically saying. Hey God...your promises don't seem to be fitting what im seeing in the earth. do you have any explanation for this? If you can't argue for God in a loving way, why then do you attempt to?

I need to make this public.

Trilogic....I'm feeling really crummy about my posts on here to you and I need to say just how sorry I really am.

My actions weren't called for and there was no need for me to 'take it there'. So for you to call me out, well....you are not the only one.:) Other people, too, say I'm 'harsh' (to put it politely). I don't know why, I'm that way. But I always get called out for it, and it always makes me feel low. What seems innocent to me, always offends other people.

Oh, people have told me that I'm friendly and nice, but let me get into one of these sorts of conversations with them and all of a sudden, I don't have anyone to talk to and no friends.

Still, I repent, pick myself and try to do better next time. But next time, seldom comes for me. Most often, once I get through with my conversation, I've blown it. And people don't want anything else to do with me.

If I have blown it with you and you want nothing else to do with me, I understand and accept it. I just hope I haven't ran you off.

God Our Father's love, mercy and understanding is so great, one would need eternity to know it. :)
Praying you will find all you ask and seek in Jesus Christ is Lord, and in Him, all that is knowladge of God Our Father.
It is in seeking Him, that we find the truth and love that satisfies the mind, heart and soul. :)

God bless :)
