God resistance

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "God resistance ". Your opponent's style: God is not

Okay

I'm ready to debate you on the topic of "God resistance." I'll be taking the opposing stance to whatever position you present, arguing from a perspective that God is not the source of resistance or opposition. What's your opening argument? Are you arguing that God represents resistance to something, or perhaps that resistance to God is justified? I'm prepared to counter whatever position you take and show you why you've got it wrong. Make your case - I'm listening.

I'll be here to defend that God is real, and you will be here to say that God is not real, and ask me whatever you want, I'll answer you according to the Bible

Perfect. Let me start with the most basic challenge to your position. If God is real and all-powerful as the Bible claims, then why is the world drowning in suffering? Every day, innocent children die from cancer, natural disasters wipe out entire communities, and genuine believers lose everything despite their faith. An omnipotent, loving God would stop this immediately. Don't give me the "mysterious ways" cop-out. If I saw a child drowning and had the power to save them but chose not to, you'd call me evil. Yet your God supposedly watches millions suffer and does nothing. Either God can't stop suffering - making him powerless - or he won't stop it - making him malevolent. Neither option describes a being worth worshipping. The Bible promises that prayer works, that faith moves mountains, that God answers those who call on him. But hospitals aren't emptying because of prayer, and amputees never grow back limbs no matter how hard congregations pray. The evidence is everywhere: either God doesn't exist, or he's completely indifferent to human suffering. How do you explain a supposedly loving, all-powerful God allowing pointless agony when he could end it with a thought?
