If you or I were able to perfectly relate to God and our will was in harmony with His (as was the case with Adam prior to the fall), then you would receive anything you asked. Problem is, that is from reality. Our motives are flawed. We have never loved God perfectly (as Jesus did) nor do we love our neighbors as we should. Those verses you quoted, as with the 10 Commandments, should show you your need of a Savior and point you to the cross. You should also attempt to read in context. Derive meaning from the text instead of inserting your own personal meaning into it.

Yeah... One small step above retarded.

Whether it was Photoshoped or not is unimportant. That's not the point I was trying to make.

don't be self-contradictory - if your diety is omni(potent/scient), it would have no need or desire to prioritize God has revealed Himself to be personal and relational in His nature as well as infinitely intelligent, organized, complex, etc. It would be illogical to assign attributes to or have expectations from God which would be against His nature. In fact, that would fall into the classic category of "creating a god in your own image (e.g. idolotry).

Correct. A person's worldview informs their interpretation of evidence.

Atheists are in desperate need of new material. The topic of this thread is ridiculous.
-
I can think of several possibilities. The most likely by far is that he doesn't exist. Or it could be that God is more concerned with our righteousness and where we will spend eternity than all of the other trivial things we come up with.

I want to know why He won't fix my receding hairline and bald spot.

Why Won’t God Heal Amputees?

He's not the first. He won't be the last. Ignoring him is a good option.

Natural selection and random mutation occurs around us all the time but that's not the kind of change you need for scales to change to feathers, for example (molecules-to-man "evolution). No serious Creationist denies change. We just disagree with how far genetically it can take you. If you're a salesman, you can't lose money on every sale and expect to make it up in volume...no matter how long it takes.

God is not temporal. He isn't subject to the rules of physical organization that He Himself created. He is "infinitely" intelligent and powerful, however. He is also personal and relational. Incomprehensible on many levels, I understand, but true. What we know about Him has been revealed through "general revelation (creation/conscience)" and "special revelation (Scripture)." He has not left us in the dark. However, realization that everything around us didn't happen "just by chance" can only take you so far. But it's a start. No amount of argumentation can convince you or anyone else.
-
It is when you consider the organization, complexity, and obvious design of everything around us.
-
Seriously, is that what you're placing your faith in? It doesn't matter how small or immeasurable you go with it (with regard to.the big bang) or even how many cycles you theorize it may have gone through). At some point, you have to come face to face with who started it and sustains it. If that obviously very intelligent entity is the God of the Bible, however, that changes everything.
-
That's a whole other thread. No way to answer that in one post.
-
Scripture dictates the attributes of God, not your dictionary or even my opinion.
-
Because infinite existence can only apply to God. I have no problem with that. Naturalism, on the other hand has a problem with infinite regression because it points to a designer/Creator.
-
Ultimately, it does unless you're talking about God.
-
I don't have the problem of infinite regression but you do.
-
If something was needed to create God, there would be an infinite regression. However, seeing as how, by Biblical definition, God is eternal and nothing created Him, there is no problem.
-
Another one of your stupid sources. Defining the problem away doesn't make it go away, it just means that anyone who thinks that way is gullible. Who should define God? Your dictionary or God Himself? Scripture dictates the attributes of God.

If everything needs a Creator, who created God

FIFY Childish.

It's been answered over and over for you Kallend. You guys need some new material...bad...
