Whether you ultimately believe it or not, your question about my comments contains the presupposition that God exists.
Specifically, my comments refer to the God of the Christian Bible. Now, either this God exists or not. But remember, the context of our discussion assumes God exists; we are not arguing the question of divine existence, but the nature of God’s will.
To have this discussion, we both must have adequate knowledge and understanding of the Bible. I assume you would not refute this basic convention of intellectual dialogue.
The Christian God is known by Christian doctrine to have a Divine will and plan. The Bible teaches that God allows the prince of this world to have limited powers at specific times, according to God’s will.
As you can see, the answer to your question is that it is God’s will.
Again—when discussing these things we must think clearly. This will help us to distinguish and to focus separately on different matters. Oftentimes, the human mind becomes confused between questions pertaining to Divine existence and questions about the nature of God’s will. This sort of confusion hinders the pursuit of truth.
Faith is not of reason or rationalism; actually rationalism is the cause of faith downfall, therefore, God hates rationalism.” Blessed be those who believe but do not see,” the Lord says. Signs were not given to those who do not believe. And “My way is not your way.”
Creatures with human limited mind will not be able comprehend his Divine Plan and mysteries, so some time there is no point to argue about it. But I do compliment you for your sincere search and effort. Keep up the good work as I believe some day you will find your answer as I did many years ago. I was born into the family of no religion and now I am the only Catholic in my father’s house.
I like to answer other questions by saying there is Divine Will and there is free will (of man.) God has his own design that all men to do good and to be saved but He gives each one of us free will to obey Him to do good or to do evil dictated by our own carnal desires.
When we do evil, He allows us to follow evil and reap the consequence. But to a point, when He deems it is enough based on His justice and for the sake of His remnants, He will put away all evil doers.
I hopefully believe that time has finally arrived and Satan will be minimized and bound for a period of time, but I am also dreadful of His cleansing as it will be awesome and painful.
But trust in God and do not fear.
Since God and His will is capable of things that are not even reasonable to us, I don’t believe that the God of the Bible either exists or not. I believe that the God of every individual He created exists, whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim, American Indian, Hindu, etc. I think God put Himself in each of us as He desired.
Thanks for the response.
