If God is so great, then howcome he can't state what he wants in language that people can understand?

Oxyman, what a great question?\n\nWow, I'm impressed!\n\nMaybe he's forgot about earth and is onto a new project. Just like a sales guy.\n\nWell, wait a moment! Darn it, we can talk to him and he answers, right?\n\nAll right I'm back. I gave him a shout. Nobody home, not even an answering machine.\n\nHe's probably just like Donald Trump. tough to get him on the phone. Oh wait..it couldn't be, is the "Donald", God.\n\nSee what you have started eh!\n\nJust read some of the above. One of them actually said that God wrote the Bible. No he didn't. Man wrote the Bible and unfortunately the minutes of the meeting appear to have been written by someone who wasn't there and made it up as he went along.

But saying it's God doesn't explain it does it?\n\nQ: My car's broke down, how do I fix it?\nA: God\n\nSame logic as yours but isn't really a useful answer.

He definitely can. You only say your prayers out loud to speak the things you ask of into existence, and it shows your faith to God, by your asking for them. I don't think your question sounds silly at all, though. \n\nGod bless♥

God is full of surprises to us.  In our 3 dimensional world, we can't begin to fathom the wonders and surprises of God.  Maybe billions of years in the future, after we have travelled the universe, we will have enough knowledge of God to predict  God's intentions.   I doubt if we'll ever know enough to predict God's actions.

I must think.  He sounds like a Pharisee.  Where he knows the word of God.  But he does not know God.

Of course he could.  The many inaccuracies in the Bible lead us to a few possible conclusions:\n\n1.  If God is the author, then God is not perfect.\n2.  If God is indeed Perfect, then God is not the author.\n\nIts very difficult to accept that an omnipotent being revealed himself through a book at a time when almost nobody knew how to read.

If people misunderstand or misrepresent the character of God, does that make Him any less God? Is He no longer the creator because Darwin says He isn't. Is God no longer all powerful because He gives people the freedom of choice? If God is misrepresented as being unjust, unkind, hateful, vengeful, a terrrible tyrant, do these accusations make it so? God's ways are above our ways, His thoughts are above our thoughts. Mankind can not even begin to understand the mind of God or His reasons for acting in some situations and not acting in others. God gives us enough information about Himself in nature, in the Bible, and in the daily life to come to a knowledge of Him that leads to trust in His wisdom even when it conflicts with ours.

No one can know the mind of God, because I don’t think anything written in ANY religious book is from a divine source, it’s from people who were trying to control the status quo in whatever time it was written.  It had more to do with politics than it did worship.

God is all-powerful; he can turn water into wine and cure the blind. Heck, he created the whole universe. So what makes you think he can't change the text of the bible written by the misguided kings, warlords and other misguided beings who wrote the bible? \n\nAnd I love a God who punished people for the slightest sin as depicted in the infallible bible. So much for the all-forgiving God. \n\nThank you God for making us kill the very people who discovered that the glorious earth You created is not flat.\n\nThank you God for condemning me and 20 billions of soul into hell for being misguided by satan you created. I would rather sit in hell then to be in heaven thinking about all the people suffering in hell, esp my loved ones and the people in the jungles of the third world who has not even heard of You or people who were brought up being a jew, muslim, hindu etc. For that reason, even if He does exist and offers me a place in heaven, i'd say no thanks because it wouldn't be much better in heaven either.

A very good question.\n\nTo me God is what we are not able to understand beause of our limitations.  I don't tend to define or anthromorphize God so it is easy for me to accept God's existance and all of science.  I tend to think of God more as the unknowable forces at play in everyday life more than as a creator but am perfectly willing to accept that as well.\n\nGod is only a problem when we try too hard to define what God is.

Psalm 19:1-4 (NKJV)  \n    The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.   Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language  Where their voice is not heard.  Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world.\n\nRomans 1:20 (NKJV)  \n    For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

The Bible tells us that God demands us to be bold in our faith. So it may seem crazy to someone who doesn't know the word of God. Most people don't like to hear what the lord says, because it means they would have give up their hedonistic lifestyles. Sometimes the truth cannot be accepted because it would mean giving up on what the world sees as important, and realizing what is.People think christians are mean and stuffy, but you can't change the word of God to make people feel comfortable. You have to read the bible for yourself and meditate on what He wants and not what the rest of the world tells you is right and fair.

Well, human beings have limited capabilities... and when they know something goes wrong or beyond their potential... they turn to the supreme power and say " God ". That word can create miracles and give soothing touch to one's heart !

God does not judge anything ever so God does not see the world in terms of right and wrong.\n\nThese ideas are our creations and we try our best to create a God as confused as we are.\n\nLove and blessings Don

What a good question.  Yes I think so.  Because God can mean just about anything, right?  When you say Jesus...everyone just sort of catches their breath, because inherent in His name is His claim that He is the only way to God.  That is much, much too "narrow" for most people.  That is why it's easier to speak of a "generic" God...who they can make into anything they wish.

Actually, this question is easily answered by bible doctrine. NO, God cannot. There are many things God can't do. Who ever said God can do anything? God can't hate, at least not literally. God can only "hate" in the sense of an anthropopathic analogy, such as when He was said to "hate" Esau. God can't lie, break a promise, die, hurt, be sad, allow a saved person to enter Hell, allow an unsaved person to enter heaven, or fail to provide logistical grace support to a believer. God can't be unjust, wrong, weak,  stupid, not present, and He cannot change. He cannot fall in love( because He is love 24/7). \n\nBasically God cannot do anything that would violate His essence. His essence is Sovereignty, Righteousness, Justice, Eternal Life, Love, Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, And Truth. These 10 characteristics describe perfectly the 3 members of the Trinity, and no one else. I'm glad God is bound by who He is.\n\nYou don't need to defend yourself against Christian bashers. God is not worried about them or threatened by them, why should you be? Keep the Faith, Bro!

there is no human emotion good enough to describe His divinity ...... i keep saying that God's attributes are superlatives beyond our comprehension
