I actually paraphrase Romans 10:9 "If you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead...I can have fellowship with you." We should not argue, particularly in front of non-believers, over the minutia of doctrine.
There is a story of a little boy who built a sail boat but the first time he sailed it the string broke and it floated away. Years later he saw his boat in the toy store in town. Per the store owners price the little boy worked hard and earned the money to buy the boat. As he left the store the merchant heard him say, "Little boat you are really mine now, I not only built you, I bought you." God made us for himself to love and be love by us and when we broke the string and floated away into sin He bought us with His blood on the cross. Our suffering is a result of our rebellion and sin. His compensation package is eternal life paid for with His own Blood on the cross. I am much more than satisfied.
The point is, if God is all powerful and all loving as Christians tell us he is then there would be no suffering. So that alone it proves that the Christion God does not exist.
Part of God's love is to give us the free choice to choose Him or not. We chose to go our own way and in the process created suffering. It is the only thing we have created. In the process we destroyed the symmetry and balance of the universe and all the evil has followed from that. In His love He came and suffered with us and lived the perfect life we chose not to live and paid the ultimate price for OUR failure and the suffering WE created. That is Love.
@@user-ld4xx1el6q None of that addresses my point. If God is all loving and all powerful at the same time then obviously there would be no suffering. It really is that simple. And why is God so inept that the only way he could fix things is to have his own son tortured to death. What kind of father is he!

Romans 10:9 is my life verse.
