If my opponent claims Bible vereses were taken 'out of context" Con must provide contextual clarity. 4.) debate will be respectful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~//Note: I know this topic has been debated time and time again, but I have never actually debated it myself. For the purpose of this debate I will contend that "God" as defined, exists. In the hope of making this debate somewhat challenging and passionate, I urge any Christian to take up the challenge. As Christians truly believe God is perfectly loving. Please, no devil's advocates.// Round 2 An aspect of God I would like to argue is "omniscience'. 'For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.' -1 John 3:20 - 'But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.' -2 Nephi 2:24 'Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.'-Matthew 6:8 'You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.'-Psalm 139:2-6 God is indeed, omniscient -- Knowing all things. The fact that God is omniscient makes it very clear that He is ' evil ' as defined. When God created Adam and Eve* He knew Sin* would have resulted which would ultimately lead to the destruction of the world with a flood*. Was God 'deliberately causing great harm, pain, or upset'? Yes, His omniscience demonstrates intent. Before He created man, He heard the anguish, the pain and lament of the tortured souls in *hell that He is ultimately responsible for, and he still followed through with His "plan". The absurd evil of this infinite punishment is even greater when we consider that the ultimate source of human imperfection is the God who created them. God creates lesser beings with the foreknowledge that they won't live up to His impeccably high standards, and dooms them to eternity. The Judeo-Christian God as described in the Bible is surely evil. The main point here is 'God's omniscience'. This aspect, and this aspect alone is enough to show the intent of His evil. But, I will go on..... *Adam and Eve: 'Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." -Genesis 1:26 *Sin: 'Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned-' -Romans 5:12 *Flood: 'For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die.'' -Genesis 6:17 *Hell: 'And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.' -Matthew 10:28 'But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.' -Matthew 5:22 God's evil is continually demonstrated through out the Bible. Look at the accounts of Job. God deliberately allows Satan to torment *Job as a "test", but, this can't be a test, given the fact that God is omniscient. God maliciously wanted Job to suffer, so He could reap the adulation and praise from Job soon afterward. *Job-Book of Job *Sodom and Gomorrah: God completely destroys these two cities. Why? Because its inhabitants were excercising "*free will" that was given to them by God. But, does God really grant us with free will? No, He only offers the illusion of free will. Free will that comes with a cost is not free will. *Sodom and Gommorah: Genesis 19 *free will: 'See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil...' -Deuteronomy 30:15
