So, if god is all powerful, he's outside of time and knows everything that will happen, correct?

If the above is true, then why would god make someone that he knows will grow up to be an atheist that he will end having them go to hell?(Note, because many of you say god doesn't send people to hell, I'm saying they send themselves to hell)

Why would god make someone they know will end up sending themselves to hell by living a nonchristian life.
 
God created life but children are created by humans many of whom are taught by their parents,using the free will God allows them to have,to ignore God.

God does not control us! He wants us to come in faith to Him through a free will choice which we all have the opportunity to do at any point in our self-directed lives.:unbelieveble:
 
No, he wants some homies around him. Seraphim only go so far. LogIc dictates that we may render your whole supposition moot by simply stating the obvious: There is no omniscient omnipotent mind reading thought crime convicting angry jealous vindictive and vain authoritarian thing in the sky. How would the cosmos and its far flung galaxies of stars and nascent planetary nebulae appear if there were NO creator? Exactly the way it does.
 
Yeah, I don't think you're gonna get anywhere with this one. There's like a whole chapter about some agreement between God and the Devil and humans having to earn their way into heaven by being good and having faith and all that crap.

Us Atheists are like Satan's booby prize.
 
I'd actually love to see an answer to this. I asked my mom the same question and all she could do was quote bible verses at me. As someone who doesn't really buy into Christianity, someone quoting verses just sounds silly :) I want to see someone give a good answer in THEIR words, and not directly quoted from the bible.
 
No. He makes certain people for destruction, as Romans 9 says. Jesus said in John 6 that no one can come to him unless the Father draws them. He said that while he was offending people so that they would stop following him around. Also, Jesus spoke in parables, why? This is what he said in part concerning that:

Matthew 13
10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them."

So God doesn't want everybody. And as I mentioned before, Romans 9 picks up on that:

Romans 9
14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses,

“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[f]

16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[g] 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

19 One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[h] 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory
 
Dude He let's whatever happens, happen he gave you free will that's why he let's you take control of your own destiny
