Testing God [#761]
« on: December 02, 2008, 07:03:09 PM »
After reading Deuteronomy 6:16, how are you justified for testing God who is so real.  Ask yourself if you are doing this out of love or out of your own desire.

After reading I Kings 18:21-38, ask yourself "why does the bible contradict itself on this very point?"

And let's not forget the accounts of Thomas and Gideon testing God, too.

Do not test the creeds I have created for I do not want people to abandon them for reason and rationality!  Otherwise, how will I make my money and control people?

Hmm, I wonder... does the bible ever say "Do not test Satan"? Maybe we could prove that he doesn't exist, instead.

A god is real? How? Where? Who? What? When?

Deuteronomy 6:16 God is not to be tested...

1 Kings 18.  God was tested and God answered with his presence.

Need I say more when I say that the Bible is self contradictory?
