Because i don't read about it, it just makes more sense than God.

But if you don't read about it. how would you know it's true? Darwin wrote that evolution book. He wasn't there when the earth was created so how would we know he's not lying or made misconceptions? How can you say it makes more sense if you don't read about it?

Yes. But over time the story would change, a simple way of showing this is Chinese whispers. For example one person could state -

Not necessarily, because they actually found a bible written in another language and it was translated and written exactly as an english bible. Also, that's why Matthew, Mark, and Luke were the same but differently explained because they are different people and have different ways of writing but the stories are still the same.When we look at the thousands of old Bible manuscripts in the original languages of Greek and Hebrew available for study by anyone wishing to look, we find exactly that.
The teachings of Jesus Christ remain the same, whichever ancient manuscript we look at. They have not changed.

Ok, i understand that part. But it still means that God is not all knowing...and thus, going by the phrase 'Power is knowledge and knowledge is power' it means he isn't all powerful.
|
It actually does mean that he's powerful. God could of destroyed the Earth and start all over again. He could of destoryed the devil if he had to. He proved to satan that he can create another being, less than he was, and still will be honest, happy, etc. Just because god gave mankind a will does not mean that he's not all powerful.

The bad being the story of Lucifer being thrown out of Heaven. The good being that Lucifer, being so selfless and brave, took it upon himself to fly from Gods light and rule Hell, even though he loved God with all his Heart. What i don't get is Lucifer's name means 'Bringer of light'...yet Lucifuge means 'Shunner of light'...so, shouldn't Lucifer be Lucifuge??

Satan was good from the start. He was beautiful and had everything he wanted except being powerful than God. Lucifer wanted to steal the throne from God and rule heaven and share the glory with him but God refused. So, Lucifer started to rebel and was sent to hell and those angels who took his side went to hell also. The thing is that Satan does not control Hell, God does. Satan is getting thrown in the fire for eternity just like the rest of the souls down there. He's too busy burning to rule anything.
Other planets? Nevermind.
Anyways, I think it will be good to go back to the bishop topic after you reply jacob.
