Just sayin' to make a point.

Failure of God's? I dare say ...not at ALL!
Every second is a success for 'Him, Who has no gender'...every second..in a place where there is no time.
Well, Miss Hepburn (good to see you again ), God actually does have gender. He had a wife remember? And Jesus called him 'Father'.

all we are saying is that if you take the good in his name then you should also take the bad in his name.

And all powerful god could hold you up just a tad so the car misses you. Or he could have made it so the driver saw what was going on and slowed down.

He is all of it ! See? Yes, indeed, Divine Father, Mother, Lover and Friend...beyond gender.
And, yes, with a definite masculine quality...to me.
I know why through the ages He is referred to as Him....oh my, so masculine...yet, like a fragile infant!
Often like a gender-less child...such purity -at the same time...all of it.

WHEN you are the creator soup-to-nuts, you are responsible, STN.
Why so harsh
I wonder if when you are in the hot seat you like heavy judgement
God is love mercy
I didn’t get hit by the car but I made an effort to dodge it too

Your usual outrageously deceptive and disingenuous argument. And hypocrisy.

The MORE evidence we DO have is natural forces, therefore the default until proven otherwise is not naturalism?

God created humans to worship him and know him so we can have a relationship with him and go to heaven. 90% of the world's population is gonna go to hell. Besides everything else that's a failure on his part. In be4 you say Jesus said, "broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter it and small is the road to life and few find it".

Do you get these ideas from the Bible? If not, from where? Thank you.

(If some say 80% or 95% will go to hell ---where do these percentages come from?)
