God doesn't follow his own teachings.  It is lust, and greed.  His first commandment shows that he would be envious if you worshiped anyone else.  He also killed babies in Egypt breaking his thou shall not kill commandment.  He also broke his commandment of not coveting your neighbors wife when he knocked up Mary.  If God went by his own rules, he'd be in hell!

Blaphemy is against the Holy Spitit alone. There are many stories wereas one may loose his life now and his spiritual life also if he speaks ill toward the Holy spirit of God\n One such story ( which is true BTW) follows below.\n\n  Three men who owned a small busines employed a woman they knew very well was a christian. On church nights she would never stay over to work even though they often asked her to. They asked her  " what is so important in your church that you would miss the oportunity to make more money?" She said \n"serving my Lord.' The men stated  that some day they will come to her church to see what it was all about. But they were not serious because they always teased her and made fun of her dispite the fact she was the most professional sceretary they could ever find.\n\n One night she was off to church and the men asked her to go out with them to the local tavern for drinks and dance . She declined but they teased her and said ' well then go to your boring Lord and sit in the pews and think you are getting anywhere in life.She warned them about speaking ill of the Lord and the church. They laughed at her and went on to their regular drinking bash.\n\n While in church the women heard loud voices in the back pews saying all kinds of foul language such as " ahhh  bullsh!t" and so on. It was her three bosses who were drunk on their behinds. The women rushed back to them and pleaded that they not make a spectacle of themselves in church and embarass her, and especially not to speak any  more profantiy in the church and toward the Lord Jesus Christ.\n\n The men laughed at her as she returned to her seat. They kept on untill the Pastor asked them to quit and warned them about speaking against God in the Chrurch and especially using profanity toward God . The pastor told them that it wounds the Holy spirit when we speak ill against Him or insult him.\n\n With that the men repeatedly said F**K you and F**k your GOD , your Jesus and your Holy Spirit. At that time the church became deadly silent as if they all knew through the spirit that the Pastor was about to speak in the Spirit toward the men.\n\n The Pastor then said . "You have cursed God and the Lord Jesus Christ . But cursing the Holy Spirit is Blasphemy toward the Spirt of God and is not forgivable. You can be forgiven of all sins including blasphemy toward the Lord Jesus the Christ who died for your sins but never against the Holy Spirit. Get your lives in order for in the next three days the spirit of God has  called upon your spirit for judgement agianst your blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. that is to mean that you are dead in this life and in the next!"\n\n The three men laughed and cursed all the more as they left the church building while the woman was in her pew crying unto God to forgive her Bosses.\n\n The next day the woman went to work and kept very silent and her boss's were a little humilitated about the event and asked her " did your pastor really mean what he said.' She stated that it was not the Pastor speaking but the Spirit of the Holy Spirit through the Pastors, please get on your knees and ask God to forgive you!" They chuckeled and said "we've got to go and get our hair cut." One of the boses told the other he would meet him there while the third boss would remain behind and hold down the fort.\n\n  As the other boss went to meet the other at the barber shop he noticed several ambulances around the Barber shop. As he walked up to the barber shop he noticed his co-boss on the ground and the paramedics working on him. He asked what happened and they stated as he walked into the shop he fell over with a fatal heart attack.\n\n Obviously shaken and worred now what the Pastor and his secretary had said he rushed back to his car to go back to the shop to tell the secretary and his remaining co-boss what had happened. Just as he ran into the street a car had struck him and he

The short answer is that God did not create Hell, even in the Christian religion.  John Milton did that.\n\nThe idea of Hell really caught hold when John Milton wrote his epic poem "Paradise Lost", which is couched in religious terms of a world trapped in darkest flames and demons to torment the soul.  What people tend to forget is that John Milton didn't write "Paradise Lost" about any general torment of the spirit, but about the torment he felt at being struck blind, and they definitely forget he later regained his sight and was so overjoyed he wrote "Paradise Regained" to end the story of all he experienced at losing and regaining his eyesight... which is very central to the world of most of us and which would very easily torment our spirits if we suddenly lost that way of being able to understand the world since we are used, more perhaps than any other creature in Creation, to viewing the world as the world we can see.\n\nHowever, the literal versions of Hell tossed around are much more a testament to the limitations of those people who insist upon them than they are the nature of a God who would have no need of them.\n\nThey are the punishments imagined by people whose imaginations and spirits cannot get beyond the flesh of their own bodies to realize something more than the pleasures and torments of their flesh, and whose prejudices are so constricting they cannot imagine a being with enough wisdom and grace to move beyond them.\n\nHell is a thought of the foolish, since the need for it can easily be out-thought.  \n\nHas it occurred to no one that a God would not need such an inefficient an anachronistic idea as an eternal Hell when God could literally save all his faithful creations and punish and save his wayward ones in the same moment, simply by granting them a brief glimpse of His perfect view of the Universe so they might become utterly aware of the true nature of all they had done-- the joy they had brought, the misery they had inflicted, the moments of their lives they lived in grace and the moments where they chose instead to revel in the darkness-- and go through Hell as each and every soul utterly wailed with sorrow once it realized the true nature of every moment it had failed and repented with every fiber of its being of its sins not because it wanted to escape punishment but simply because it lamented hurting something else precious and pure, and could not bear realizing it had done so... and then bring them back to purity and Heaven and into His loving arms the very instant after, thereby helping each and every part of His creation find its own unique path to perfection through Him, all in less than a blink of an eye?\n\nHell is a notion for fools who do not understand true grace can move beyond the walls of judgment everyone ultimately imprisons themselves behind, and that true wisdom cannot move beyond their own hatred.  Nothing more.

Satan. God gave Satan some abilities. Satan created sin.

I am not a bible scholar, but having been born with depression I cannot tell you how frustrating it is when people try to tell me that I choose to be this way. It is not free will! Society may aggravate it, but it did not create it. \nWhereas it is well known that bad things happen to good people & innocent children & that it is God that allows such things to happen---& that it the most difficult question. Why does God allow suffering? Is it really supposed to make us better people? But that is a whole new debate in itself...

Adam was created in the image of "god." In fact, he was a self-made man. After a while he got tired of talking to himself so for acceptance, he joined a street gang. They called themselves Muslims or Catholics or Jews and declared to all the animals (that they had dominance over) that they shalt not draw any cartoons depicting anything in a punk-rocker, gothic or graven image. They strutted around their turf changing the rules like masters of a Dungeons & Dragons game always looking for action and another reason to party down.\n\nI suppose Adam was supposed to smarten up somewhere in the story but some bad apples just like to keep going back to touch a hot stove.

Tourette syndrome (also called Tourette's syndrome, Tourette's disorder, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, GTS or the more common Tourette's or TS) is an inherited neurological disorder with onset in childhood, characterized by the presence of multiple physical (motor) tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic; these tics characteristically wax and wane. Tourette's is defined as part of a spectrum of tic disorders, which includes transient and chronic tics.

God has always wanted humanity to live in His heart, but humanity chooses to live in the mind of the beast instead. \n\nHumanity chooses worldly powers..which leads to wrongful action (sin) over God, and justifies it by saying 'This is the way I was created so I can't change.' Our society is living proof of this lie.

Looks like it could be outburst related to Asperger's Syndrome.  I don't think it could be Tourette's.

Not everyone who has Tourette Syndrome swears.  According to the Tourette Syndrome Association, only 10% of sufferers utter obscenities.  A person with Tourette's might clap, laugh, repeat certain words, etc.\n\nTourette Syndrome "is a neurological or neurochemical disorder characterized by tics: involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way."

Mentally ill people will claim ANYTHING told them to commit an evil act.  If it hadn't been God, it would have been his dog or Bing Crosby's ghost.  Crazy is as crazy does, and organized religion had little to do with it.\n\nThe story of Abraham and Isaac concerns faith and trust.  God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son in the same manner as others made blood sacrifices with animals.  When God realized that Abraham did indeed have strong faith, He intervened and stopped the sacrifice.  Abraham's destiny was to be a great ruler of the Hebrews, God's chosen people.  God needed to see if Abraham had the intestinal fortitude to handle the task.

People who hear voices are not necessarily committed unless they are a danger to themselves or society.  In most case, they would be given an anti-psychotic.  But this wouldn't work with the religious people, so these voices do not derive from a brain illness.  Nope, they come from a belief system.

Hey you took my suggestion! LoL... \nanyway... salad_85 is wrong already... "unintended mistake"... don't the teachings tell us God is infallible (meaning NO MISTAKES... intentional and unintentional included)? Also mentioned evolving... a thing Believers are supposedly to DENY?\n\nanyway- I think it is a dominate trait just a joke She likes to play on us humans. A sixth finger, one wouldn't know what to do with it... I know 2 full blooded Cherokee's who have had this... one got it removed, the other has kept his second thumb. (His 6th finger grew out of his thumb- weird looking). He can't really use it at all. But he will not remove it, because it was something he was born with.\n\nOnce again one of God's cruel jokes to play on human kind.\n\nLife is Cruel and Unfair... God is Cruel and Unfair.

The biggest misconception about Tourettes is the Coprolalia (shouting obscenities).  Actually it is the rarest symptom of TS.  VERY FEW people with this disorder ever display this symptom.  So you must have two very rare cases, or someone is pulling your leg.  \n\nPeople with TS will sometimes shout or say a word.  It is not always a cuss word.  Sometimes it is needing to hear the sound of the word, or if it has a hard "c" or "t" sound, there is something in the brain that NEEDS to hear this sound.  That, I believe, is related more to OCD than Tourettes.  It is not uncommon to have Tourettes + ODC or ADHD or both.  \n\nI hope this helps. \n\nFrom the TSA web site:\n\nThe fact is that cursing, uttering obscenities, and ethnic slurs are manifested by fewer than 15% of people with TS. Too often, however, the media seize upon this symptom for its sensational effect. Because milder cases are being diagnosed, the incidence of coprolalia will probably decrease.

That the person with Tourettes is just another person, who deserves respect just like everybody else. That they can learn and function in society like everybody else, but with a little extra flair! My son has an IQ of 124, is artistically gifted and funny and handsome. I am so proud he is my son. \n\nIt is a neurobiologic disorder in the brain that causes involuntary vocal tremors and tics. It is migratory (ie: not usually the same tics all the time, they change). It is lifelong and there is not a cure yet. \n\nThere are medications that can lessen the impact of the tics and make them less noticeable. It takes time and patience to find the right combination, depending upon the severity of the Tourettes. My son has Tourettes, accompanied by OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and ADHD. It is not uncommon to have Tourettes plus these conditions, or even others.\n\nThere has been a breakthrough at Harvard (see link below, click on Genetic Breakthrough) which is cause for hope.

Simple answer:\n\nYou're question is too deep to answer fully in this type of forum, but I will still comment on the basics.\n\nLet me address a few things first. You're question was phrased rather negatively, as if this evil act (stillborn babies) was directly given by God. They are not. (From this point forward let's assume God exists and the Bible is His word so that things make sense at least in this thread).\n\nThe Bible says that God is all good and all powerful. So if evil and suffering exists (stillborn babies) why doesn't God stop it? Well, first off God can easily stop it. That much is obvious. The second half is less obvious.\n\nGod says He created adam and eve perfect, sinless, without suffering, in a perfect world, living in God's presence. God also gave them free will to either choose God or reject Him. They opted for the latter. Because of that man separated himself from God and was unable to return to Him by themselves (God fixed the problem by sending Jesus but that is a topic for a different post). Now God could have stopped them from sinning but that would have been pointless. Imagine being a parent and stopping your kid from rejecting you thereby forcing them to love you. That would be torture and would turn your kids into mere robots and slaves. God wanted people to frelly choose Him so He had to give the ability to reject Him and also to face the consequences of that action otherwise people would never learn from doing bad things (ie If I killed someone and then God instantly resurrected that person, I would feel no guilt or shame because my bad actions would have no consequences). To make a long story short we now live in a world riddled with disease and suffering because this is all the consequences of bad actions that we are forced to live with. These consequences lead to such horrible things like stillborn babies. \n\nDoes God want that? no. Will the baby go to heaven? In my opinion yes. Does God use even such a horrible event like a stillborn child to bring about an even greater good? In my opinion yes. Does that mean I know what that is? no. I believe it on faith just like every other believer in God, that even though suffering and evil exists, God uses it all to bring about even greater good. An example would include Jesus being beaten and spit upon and being crucified (this would be evil and suffering) and using that event to actually bring about the salvation of all mankind to whomever will believe (which is what happened).\n\nI hope this answered your question and helps.
