Debate: True or false. Religion never caused any wars, it was only people
Side: True

--YOU deliberately MISS the point, or are ignoring it as stated above: God is bringing about fulfillment of his purposes in various ways at various times. Don't second guess God. You will be the only one who loses in the end.I think what he is trying to say is why did things have to change? why does a world where certain times war is necessary and other times war is wrong have to exist? Why didn't god send jesus down in the first place to fulfill his purpose and end the need for war right in the beggining? Who is second guessing god? I'm pretty sure he isn't argueing that god isn't perfect as he doesn't believe in the god that you are talking about but more argueing how that god seems like a god that likely doesn't exists?--See the very first answer above: God brings about his purposes in various ways at various times. Everything has a purpose, and if you can't understand it, then it'syour problem not God's. He is smarter than you are.Or maybe he doesn't exist and the bible is full of BS and he's trying to point that out. He point out things in the bible that make's it's god all the less likely to exist, he's not trying to say he knows more than an all-knowing being as much as he is saying that those events are probably more works of fiction rather than an all-knowing being.--Absolutely, but the Bible contains both literal document and figurative language, just as ALL books do, except perhaps a chemistry or law textbook.  Why do you believe that it's the innerant word of god? if it was sooo perfect he could have also made it so everyone could understand exactly what he meant or better yet since he's all powerful he could make it so every single human being that ever existed comes with a bible that explains everything more perfectly based on how each individual understands things.--The OT was for the Jews and Israelites. Jesus fulfilled that Law as the only human to ever live it perfectly. After Jesus was killed, the Law had served its purpose, ad Christians were no longer bound by it, EXCEPT in the principles that were REPEATED in the NT.So wait god only made the testaments to find one person that could follow it perfectly? are you implying that god only wanted one person to reach his highest standards? or are you saying that after jesus applied that testament perfectly it changed things so much that people needed new morals to go by making it so war wasn't necessary anymore? cause I got some questions about both.--They have become null and void for Christians. Ex: animal sacrifices, feast days, Sabbath day laws. The part of the old Law that is repeated for Christians embodies the law of love--do not commit adultery, covet what is another's, steal, practice homosexuality or drunkenness, lie, etc. ALl of those things embody the law of brotherly love--if you practice love you will not do those things.Once again why didn't he have jesus sent down in the first place so we never had to have war in the first place?--They are not God's chosen people NOW. They killed the Son. What God values and why is your conjecture, not God's. Do not expect God to go by your reasoning, rather, open your mind and consider his reasoning as superior, and learn from it. You can do that through Bible study.What if that god doesn't exist and it was all made up and that is why it doesn't make any sense? he's not argueing the sense of those beliefs because he believes god exists and thinks he's smarter than him but rather to argue maybe at least some of it is total bull?--Hardly. The entire Bible is true. It is history of the Jews, and their downfall. And one can easily see since their downfall that they are not God's chosen people now. Their nation was removed from them for thousands of years, and they were scattered so that there are no true bloodline Jews as descendants of Abraham now. They are diaspora. They have had to resort to seeking protection from a secular power in order to have a semblance of their lost country. They should have learned that lesson in Ezekiel's day, in Daniel's day, but they did not.And why do you believe this? Why do you believe this is what happened? why do you believe everything the bible says is true?Why do you believe this? why do you believe satan was influencing the alterations to the old testament? why do you believe this is what happened? Why should we believe it?
