if gods a loving person why is death and destruction his way of fixing things?

Answer 1

it's not like what you think.
god has laid a set of rules or regulations to be followed.
all of us will face our consequences of our actions accordings to the rules

Answer 2

1) God's not a person. S/he doesn't think that way or act that way. God's thoughts are not ours.

2) Although we look at death and destruction as the end (failure) God understands what it truly is. The best I can figure out... The things that "people" see as important, God looks at as temporary inconveniences. Even if we were the most intelligent person on earth, we would not know God's mind. All that said, I can't find any mention of intelligence as a positive characteristic in the Bible.

Answer 3

God shouldn't be thought of as a person, per se. In the opinion if many Christians, God just is.

As far as death and destruction "his way of fixing things", I don't necessarily agree with that. Most death and destruction comes from man claiming to do the work of God, but then again, God moves in mysterious ways.

Answer 4

mmmm #1 - if you are a believer then the name should begin with a capital
#2 - He gave us the freedom to choose - we make the choices
#3 - He is not a person per se but if you are a believer in the Roman Catholic church then He is part of the trinity - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit
#4 - If you are an aetheist and just looking for a good discussion then you might get one!

good luck in your quest!

Answer 5

death and destruction is religions way of doing things. god is a reflection of the energy shared on the earth. with all the negativity produced by christianity alone through out history is horrible. what goes around comes around. and christians are getting it back. to see god's work look at the history of humanity as god against religion, you might see it.

Answer 6

First off, God is not a "person" in that I assume you mean the Judeo-Christian God. Second, God is a god of vengence first, forgiveness second. These things are punishments for "original" sin and the continued sinning of the world.

It should be noted that I am not a Christian, Jew or Muslim, so I do not believe these things personally, but if you believe in the Judeo-Christian God, these should be sufficient answers.

Answer 7

firstly, God does not make bad things happen to people. Satan does. But sometimes God ALLOWS these things to happen.

Why do bad things happen to good people? That is one of the difficult questions in all of theology. God is eternal, infinite, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, etc. Why should we human beings (not eternal, infinite, omniscient, omnipresent, or omnipotent) expect to be able to fully understand God’s ways? The book of Job deals with this issue. God had allowed Satan to do everything he wanted to Job except kill him. What was Job’s reaction? “Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him” (Job 13:15). “The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised” (Job 1:21). Job didn’t understand why God had allowed the things He did, but he knew that God was good and therefore continued to trust in Him. Ultimately, that should be our reaction as well. God is good, just, loving, and merciful. Often things happen to us that we simply cannot understand. However, instead of doubting God's goodness, our reaction should be to trust Him. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Perhaps a better question is, "Why do good things happen to bad people?" God is holy (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). Human beings are sinful (Romans 3:23; 6:23). Do you want to know how God views humanity? “As it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes” (Romans 3:10-18). Every human being on this planet deserves to be thrown into hell at this very moment. Every second we spend alive is only by the grace of God. Even the most terrible misery we could experience on this planet is merciful compared to what we deserve, eternal hell in the lake of fire.

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Despite the evil, wicked, sinful nature of the people of this world, God still loved us. He loved us enough to die to take the penalty for our sins (Romans 6:23). All we have to do is believe in Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Romans 10:9) in order to be forgiven and promised a home in heaven (Romans 8:1). What we deserve = hell. What we are given = eternal life in heaven if we would just believe. It has been said, this world is the only hell believers will ever experience, and this world is the only heaven unbelievers will ever experience. The next time we ask the question, “Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?”, maybe we should be asking, “Why does God allow good things to happen to bad people?”
