God is not responsible for Evil

But evil cannot exist without God.

God is the cause of all causes.

So is Henry Ford responsible for all the car accidents?

NO.

Very good point.

Perception increases with spiritual awareness.

Raise the consciousness, and perception will be raised as well.

Following true religion raises the consciousness.

True religion is taught by the Hare Krsnas.

True religion is to be found in the eternal Sanskrit Vedas.

The Gem of the Vedas is the Bhagavad Gita AS IT IS and the 18 volume Srimad Bhagavatam translated by His Divine A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

The books are nearly at cost.

Nice excuse for being "dodging, deflecting and being generally pompous, pious, aloof and evaisive"[sic] yourself. But yeah, that's okay, isn't it.

Grampy Bobby refuses to engage in on topic debate with anyone, he is notorious for it. He avoids engaging on any topic by either, ignoring the question completely, replying with a copy/pasted quotation, posting the persons profile into his reply or making some pompous, pious off topic reply.

I note that you never, ever, not even once, call him on this poor forum ettiquete. Why is that? Oh yes, he's another one of your buddies. When he made those disgraceful comments about suicides you didn't challenge him because you chose to "pass over his comments because they were part of his religious beliefs". Your indignation is unfounded and hypocritical.

You can embrace the meat eaters Bible if you wish.

Its hard to imagine Jesus slaughtering a lamb and skinning it, and cooking it and chewing on a bone.

It a disgusting image to imagine.

Jesus grew up as a working class man in a meat-eating religious society; he dined with the everyday folk and mixed with the outcasts, the sick, the poor, the tax collectors and even prostitutes. He accepted their hospitality and ate their food, so I think it is unlikely in the extreme that he was vegetarian.

And then there was the whole feeding of the 5000 thing. 🙂


(He also ate lamb in Luke 22:8-15).

Open-minded. I like that.

But nobody believes or claims that Henry Ford could foresee every action of every car driver in every car or that he was omnipresent and omnipotent. So is there a better analogy you can offer?

The best teaching I have heard is that man's blood was not tainted with sin like today.
The life of the flesh is in the blood and it was relatively pure in this early stage. As men and sin began to multiply, the blood became more and more tainted to cause deformities ...

You mean there were genetically small changes to mankind over time?

These discoveries do not surprise me, because I already knew they were true.

But in a previous post you said you didn't know all the details?

Make your mind up.

Imagine yourself in eternity with Jesus. Because He's the only way your going to get there.

I don't have to know every detail. You are trying to make something out of nothing.
I just trust God at his word, period.

You can't get more "open minded" than to sit at the feet of the Creator of the Universe, including mankind. He has the best manual for living a life. Anything else is a sham and leads to death.
