Tainted Relationship With God

[Immanuel Can]

So you're hearing voices?

Yes.

I remember this conversation now. You're right: it's not going anywhere.

Have a nice day, I guess.

My voices have many sources, sometimes they sound like the people around me. Sometimes they sound like they come from nothing. One of the more annoying things is when they talk to me when watching TV or playing a game.

I am talking about God who is the highest among gods, being Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Just (by Just I mean that He always does things right, Good or Evil is a matter of situation).

Then you already have given yourself your answer: "he always does things right."

Yes, but God causes Evil as well.

..and therein lies the GREAT GOD...of all 3 sides of a coin.

Isaiah 45:7
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

GOD creates EVIL.

Yeah, I mentioned that but IC believe that disasters, illness, and the like that are caused by God are not evil but good.

I think one can still believe in God and not believe in the bible. I also believe that you can still believe in God and not believe that Jesus is the son of God. There are a few good stories that I enjoy from the bible though, such as the one where Jesus says, "Let him without sin cast the first stone." Judge not lest thee be judged yourself.

No one is above sin, we all do it eventually.

Sometimes I believe that we are like the blood in our bodies. We are the cells of a greater being, performing functions to keep the greater organism alive and functional itself. So small that we can only be observed with special tools and techniques. Just something cool to think about.

Can anyone explain this video to me? I'm just curious to see what people's opinions are.

It's a famous but fairly generic costumed metal band staging a rock operatic masquerade ball in a defunct mental asylum on behalf of a song about the Debil. Ok if you like that sort of overproduced stuff. But I recommend something a little of the old timey euphoria that comes with having such a deeply personal relationship with the divine that it's almost as if Jesus Built My Hotrod.

Ding a a ding dang my dang a long ling long indeed, amen.

Can you stop telling people to have a nice day, when it's plainly obvious what you really mean, so just be honest to yourself and others, and tell people the truth of what's actually on your mind, just tell other people to buzz off and leave you alone to your obvious lack of understanding of what these other people are trying to say to you, whatever it is, and for you, it seems to remain just a boring 'whatever'...all because whatever people are trying to say to you, is not going anywhere near where you want it to go.

Can you stop telling people to have a nice day...

I wish my interlocutors well. And in my well-wishes, I'm pleased to include even those who disagree with me, particularly those that are respectful. For to invest some time with somebody in a discussion, even when the two end up on different sides, is to have done each other a favour. Hopefully, we gave each other the respect of a hearing, and bit of each others time -- time which cannot be reclaimed.

Therefore, I am pleased to wish a nice day to those with whom the exercise is fruitful, and also those with whom it is not. You'll just have to bear up under the strain.

He cannot doubt. And that is the problem.

Doubt is forbidden for a knight of faith. The KOF can never publicly reveal the doubt he is secretly harboring.

Well said!
