    I have a saying: God made 'REGION' s, man added a lie and created 'RE[LI(e)]GION’ s. Why would an all powerful God sit around playing PUBG games with his creation? Maybe God regrets creating man? Or, did Man create God in his own image? E.g.: Does the God of a cat look like a cat or does he look like a Man/Woman? Is God all knowing or not? Isn't everything happening as per God's plan? If so, then why is man interfering with God's plan and irritating him to change it? Is God God or is man God? Has God appointed agents on Earth to represent him/her? Do they have a valid certificate issued by God? If God is all powerful why does he need agents? You think God cannot communicate directly with each and everyone of his creation that he needs to select some illiterate people from some desert and “reveal” his word to them? Why does God give supari to his hitmen and tell them to kill those who draw cartoons of one of his self-proclaimed agent? What type of God needs terrorists, goondas, armies and bouncers to protect him? Why does the all powerful God who created heaven and earth need these puny little men to construct temples(any so called God worship place) for him, in return for which he will build a palace in heaven for these puny little men? You thing God cannot construct a building if he wanted to? Man’s vanity has no end!

    Melroy, Amos 3:7 verse says “For the Lord GOD does nothing without first revealing his secret to his servants, the prophets”.... Bible itself is God speaking, guiding people through His prophets. He has not stopped speaking as He is not dead. Irony is that people make Him dumb, dead or contain the Creator of the Universe to the Book or Books.... Book of Revelation chapter 21 says about holy city (heavenly temple) coming down.... John 6:45 verse says It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God. Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.... Following link, God still speaks, (teaches and guides) through one of His prophets... https://www.holylove.org/#come-and-see or https://www.holylove.org/messages/

    Correct.Those who believe God is omnipotent and omnipresent , should pray from home. God does not require money,He does not require agents or brokers. God judges you by your good deeds, not by the amount you have donated.

    Monty Dotor, That's how communists and socialists have already destroyed culture in the west with introduction of addictions to substances, porn, abortion, same sex and now no gender ideology. This happens when there is no religious teaching or prayers? Now cull using virus and vaccines for easier control of less populace ? Do modern children join parents or elderly in prayers or addiction to games, mobile and t v stop them either going to worship places or joing family prayers ? Next generation will know nothing about God so God also allows this (says this is a last generation) to segregate good and evil or sheep and goat (Matthew Ch 25) to bring 1000 years of peace soon, as mentioned in Book of Revelation chapter 20.

    Man can be possessed by evil spirits or Holy Spirit of God through his free will choices. Following video live demonstration of it. (God also spirit can control anyone He likes and speak through him but God only controls whoever human being with his or her own freewill allows for it but with addictions, attachments, bad emotions... evil spirits can control anyone easily) https://youtube.com/watch?v=qj-XJUi102k

    Looks like western elites and Communist chinese originated communist virus is for closing all God's doors or for shutting all religions so they can bring virus after virus, virus through vaccines to control the world or to make world godless. God gave them minor warning recent floods there in china and many asteroids from asteroid belt are on loose to tighten their belt, to fix communist chinese and godless western elites.

    Please open schools first. Open religious places only after 6 moths. If religious places are open first, all festivals are celebrated which in turn affects corona cases and education is affected.
