If everything in the bible was from the word of god.... may i ask you this?

If god knows everything.. then doesnt he know who goes to heaven? and who goes to hell?

So if he knows all of this... what the hell is the purpose of life? to choose between good and evil? why? he knows EVERYTHING... he knows where you are going.. despite what you choose.. so what is the purpose?

If he knows everything and knows where we are going.. that is just like saying we are gods personal ant farm watching us live and die..

Sorry but everything about GOD... and the bible is a joke.. its for weak minded people to go on living everyday thinking someday that they will go to a better place... Well sorry folks.. when you die YOU DIE JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER [CENSORED]ANIMAL ON THE EARTH...

Of course there is always a slim possibilty of that, But what if it is NOT?

Perhaps he prefers to see how you use your "Free Will" ( the one variable you left out) to ask your questions and live your life. So what is the purpose? YOU!

If god knows everything.. then doesnt he know who goes to heaven? and who goes to hell?

{This is an old Paradox thats been answered mny times. for starters, how do we know there arent multiple timelines wht many seperate outcomes? Liekeise, even if nly one future , simleu KNOWING the fututre isnt the same as controling it. IE, if I had a time macine and went bakc to the 1800's, I woudl know that edcson wodl invent the lightbulb. This dosnt mean that I contorled him and made him invent it.Knoweldge of what will happen is not the same as controle exherted to make it happen.}-Zarove

So if he knows all of this... what the hell is the purpose of life?

{ To learn, and draw closer to God, and gain the knwoeldge of Love.}- Zarove

to choose between good and evil? why? he knows EVERYTHING... he knows where you are going.. despite what you choose.. so what is the purpose?

{Uhm, knowing what we will choose doesnt negate the fact that we ultimatley make the choie int he first place. This is the critical flaw to your reasoning. The same as my time travel story. if I had a time machine and was around in 1932, I woidl knwo the Gemran people wodl appoint adolf Hitler as chounsilor.But my knwoeldge of ther actions dosnt make there chice less relevant or beyond there controle. foreknwoeldge of the fututer is not equel to direct cotrole of the future.}-Zarove

If he knows everything and knows where we are going.. that is just like saying we are gods personal ant farm watching us live and die..

{Again, foreknoweldge doent mean contorle over actions...soemthign you miss...}-Zarove

Sorry but everything about GOD... and the bible is a joke..

{Only if you ignroe the whle pouint of it...a nd the relaity of it all... and ignroe its menaing...and ignore reaosn and all kown lines of logic... and all of human hisotry up tothispoint...I have a hard time ding that, oh well suppose Im just weak willed.}-Zarove

its for weak minded people to go on living everyday thinking someday that they will go to a better place...

{Yes an you prove how storng midned you are by usig cride language and poorly htought out chains of logic...rude=strong...}-Zarove

Well sorry folks.. when you die YOU DIE JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER [CENSORED]ANIMAL ON THE EARTH...

{Spoken like a true sadducee, they beleived in God and denied the afterlife. Soem Chrisyaisn do to.

Not that I expect you concern yourself over this.

Nor the fac tthat the afterlife dosnt connect to the concept f free will...}-Zarove

Because God says in Acts 17:24-31, "24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.' 29 "Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising. 30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead."

Our purpose in life is to seek God and to obey His commandments because He has chosen a day that everyone will be judged who has ever lived on this earth...

God says in Matthew 7:13-14, "13 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."

We have the capacity to choose to obey God and go to Heaven, or to disobey God and go to Hell... The choice is ours to make...
