Job 37.. the most powerful and poetic on God's admonitions to Man as to his subordinance to the Divien Supernatual Order. Man is not competent to question His competence.
Therefore men fear him;
He does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.
Is God competent or incompetent?
We are told in scriptures that evil begets evil and good begets good. God, as our creator, according to scriptures, creates us all as sinners, which many see as evil.
God can thus be seen and judged as being the original sinner since the fruits of his labor (us) went bad or are born bad. A tree is known by its fruits. What else could come from a sinner tree but sin?
I give God a fail on competence for the following reasons.
God created heaven that produced Satan. Fail.
God created Eden which produced Original Sin. Fail.
God had to reboot creation with Noah’s flood. Fail.
God sent his son to forgive mankind instead of stepping up himself. Fail, for moral reasons.
God also had to create hell for his rejects which scriptures say will be the vast majority of us. Fail.
Jesus said we would know his people by their works and deeds and if we believe that, then the Christian God would obviously be rejected by Jesus and agree with my fail judgement.
Do you agree?

The meaning of competent? you mean He is All-Able, or He competes with others? Or He is Efficient?
Anyhow, the explanation in your OP says unrelated things to the title ..
The distorted texts made all this problem and confusion ..
Nothing of this is in the Glorious Quran.
God did not create us as sinners! How can that be? Man is created innocent, then when he is adult will be responsible about his work and words: if he works righteously then he is righteous and will be rewarded, and if he works evil and transgression then he is a sinner and will punished.
But Christians, according to the distorted texts, say that man is born with the original sin (of Adam), and then Jesus came to bear the sin of man, so he acted as a lamb to sacrifice himself as God's son to save the humanity from their original sin; which in fact is wrong.
In the Torah (the Old Testament) it is stated that no man will bear the sin of another; as is it also stated in the Glorious Quran.
God created heaven that produced Satan.
God created Eden which produced Original Sin.
God had to reboot creation with Noah’s flood.
God sent his son to forgive mankind instead of stepping up himself.
God also had to create hell for his rejects which scriptures say will be the vast majority of us. /FONT]
Jesus said we would know his people by their works and deeds and if we believe that, then the Christian God would obviously be rejected by Jesus and agree with my fail judgement.
1- God created heaven or paradise in heaven, and Satan (whose name was Azazil in his material life of the World) his soul was admitted following his death to that paradise on account of his righteous work in his life of the world.
Then when he became proud over the angels, God created Adam as a trial for Satan and other angels, and Satan (Azazil) disobeyed the command of his Lord concerning the prostration before Adam, and because he insisted on his pride and disobedience, he was driven out of the paradise in heaven and that he should go down to the earth. In fact, God gave him respite as a reward for his past righteousness, and to be a trial for Adam and his progeny: to see who of them would follow his suggestions and who would be firm in belief so that he would not follow Satan's suggestions.
2- God created Adam on earth, in one of the earth gardens, which was on a mountain (mostly in the north of Iraq), then when Adam disobeyed his Lord's command, he was punished: the garden dried up because water went to the valleys below, so Adam was obliged to leave that garden and to go toiling in the plain land.
3- "God sent his son to forgive mankind instead of stepping up himself."
God does not send His messengers to people so that the messenger will forgive them; this is wrong; God in fact sends His messengers to people to warn them of the consequences of their idolatry and wrong-doing, and to give them the good news for the believers who work the righteous work of admitting them into Paradise in heaven in the Next Life.
So God sent Jesus like He sent other messengers; He sent him to the arrogant Children of Israel who transgressed the bounds in their tyranny and blasphemy.
Therefore, neither Jesus nor anyone else can forgive man; the forgiveness is up to God alone.
4- God created hell so as to punish those who do not comply with His commandments, and He will not guide the wrong-doers, but will guide the kind-hearted who help the poor and the weak for the sake of God alone.
The Qur'an does get some things better than the bible, but the overall ideology of slave holding and inequality of women and men, not to mention gays, shows that the Islamic ideology is no better overall than Christianity. You killing your own apostates may in fact make your ideology the worst that the world has ever seen.

If you are to ignore my posts to you, what makes you think I will pay attention to yours?
You do know that reciprocity is fair play. Right?

What are the devil's views on homosexuality, apostasy, and equality?
The devil's view is your view ... you ugly Zionist asshole.
Time to ban Torch Light and all these Muslims Pedo Lovers
The are just useless Muslim refugees living in Sweden trying to rape the local girls..
ISIS sympathizers
The devil's view is your view ... you ugly Zionist asshole.
You do not stick to the point of discussion, because your purpose is not to seek after the truth, but to bar people from God's religion.
slave holding : these are originally the captives of war, they are like the prisoners; so all states of the world (like the US and others) in the past and the present when war ends, will capture the war prisoners, and some torture them and make them work the hard works and imprison them; while God recommended the good dealing with the captive and seeking ways of releasing the Muslim captives.
inequality of women and men, from humanity point they are alike, but in many situations this cannot be true that man is like the woman: the anatomy differs, the psychology differs, the dealing differs; and in the inheritance law: the son will receive double the share of the daughter, while the grandfather and grandmother will have equal shares.
And if you make the son like the daughter in the inheritance share you will be unjust, because of the requirements of each of them, while the grandmother and the grandfather there will be no difference in the inheritance shares.
gays: this is of course forbidden; and in the Torah ( the Old Testament) the punishment is to kill them; while in the Quran the punishment is not cited, and the interpreter said: to lash each of them or to imprison them, and likewise the lesbian to a lesser extent.
killing your own apostates: this may be because the apostate will corrupt the community in enhancing others to apostate.
This also was stated in the Torah of Moses;
so God judge others and none can judge Him and none can change His statement and He is the All-Knowing, the Most Wise.
Have you read carefully the words in the previous post #28, or you passed over it, seeking only how to falsify it!?
This god seems like an asshole. What are the devil's views on homosexuality, apostasy, and equality?

See I was expecting you to come up with a reason for me to be against the devil despite the fact that the devil is in support of homosexuality, sexual liberation, gender equality, apostasy, etc. Instead you just straight up told me the devil and I have the same view. So I guess I'm Team Satan. I always did like his anti-authoritarian stance. You're really winning people over here, Torch light.
Quran (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]"
That verse does not talk of inheritance and the inequality reaches to heaven --- 72 virgins per man, --- so you ignoring that is you trying to deceive us.
Further, Allah and religion has no say in who should get what. The inheritance is yours to give. Not Allah's.
As to your answer on killing apostates.
You are saying that fear is what motivates you to kill. Quite manly that. Not.
Have you not heard that justice is close to an eye for an eye?
but the men have an authority [to be obeyed] over them. )
.")
A logical person would ascertain first whether there is a God before asking that question!
A competent intelligent person who cares about people will already know the answer to that and would instead work to discredit the God whose religions is doing so much damage to society.
You go ahead and waste your time on speculative nonsense. I prefer to fight evil.
