If jesus were divine why would he allow the slaughter of millions of indigeonous souls around the world?

Question

ijn the name of god for two thousand years?

Answer 1

mudcat, you seem to be pissed with Christians. This is the only topic you have been discussing for the past 5 days.
What happened?

Answer 2

Forget that if jesus was divine how come he was tempted by satan? why did he pray(who was he praying to...himself?), why did jesus say that he 'didnt know when the day of judgement will occur' and that 'ONLY God knows this information'.

Much of the biblical scripture points to the fact that Jesus was a Man and a Prophet not God, to worship him in any way like asking for his help or attributing divine qualities to him is simply an act of paganism ie worshiping the creation.

Since jesus is a part of Gods creation worshiping him puts you in the catorgory of polytheists.

God allows the slaughter of millions of people because this life is a test and we are tested in several ways. One of which is the test of leadership. If u lack compassion or are tyranical you will be punished in the afterlife

Answer 3

First, I've looked at all the questions you've posed on Yahoo answers. You seem to be very angry with God. Why? Maybe the questions you SHOULD BE asking are ones to help you with your anger, not ones to fuel it ...

Second, who said Jesus permitted the "slaughter of millions of indigenous souls around the world"? I don't see that anywhere in the Bible. What God's Word does make clear is this: 1) Those who are truly saved love other humans as they love themselves, and would never commit murder to advance God's purposes (i.e. abortion clinic bombers; jihadists; ect); 2) Perhaps your question really concerns the fate of those who died without hearing the gospel. There IS a way for people who lived prior to Jesus' birth to be saved. If you want more details on that subject, you must ask that question; 3) Only those who KNOWINGLY hear the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus and KNOWINGLY reject it are condemned to Hell. Calling this a "slaughter" is the same as decrying the punishment of a criminal. Those who die without God's saving grace (before and after Jesus' birth) are criminals, having no way to be excused of their crimes. You may think this sounds unfair, but Jesus (who will judge all humankind) is perfectly righteous; and because He is so perfect and so righteous, He will ensure that NO ONE who died in his or her sins will go unpunished. That means every unsaved adulterer, thief, murderer, homosexual, witch (and the list goes on and on) will be condemed to Hell upon death; after Jesus's millenial reign, they'll be tossed into the Lake of Fire and that will be the end of them.

I pray you come to real understanding by casting aside your anger. This is a serious matter with eternal consequences.

Answer 4

What kind of God would our God be if he controlled our actions. We would no longer be entities capable of loving and giving and all the grea things we are capable of, we would just be puppetts. These slaughters are not done in the name of Jesus, doing something in the name of Jesus means that Jesus agrees with it. These things are done by HUMANS who are hungrey for power, or filled with hatred, all of which is from Satan, not God. "We do not battle against flesh and blood, but against princepalities and powers of the spiritual relm." This is a spiritual fight against satan, no use blaming God, trust me, He ain't enjoying it. Make Him know he made the right decision in giving us free will by doing what you can to fight the evil and make the world a place where we can all enjoy our free will together in peace and love.

Answer 5

Who said God did not allow man to have free will even if it is wrong? If life is temporal and the "here after" is eternal is it really that much suffering. Maybe those people came to stimulate compassion by sacraficing themselves so people like you would bring these issues up for other people on Yahoo.

Answer 6

Look. my take on this is that God created the Universe, Man, animals, plant etc,.
God gave man the biggest brain. He gave him the knowledge to be able to think on his own.He allowed him to become very intelligent..So God decided to not interfere with mans own decisions in life to see what would happen(of course He knew the results b/4 the results)But mans fate is in his own hands. Man makes choices to do right or wrong.....

Answer 7

It is because man is a sinner and he has rejected what the Lord Jesus Christ did on the cross for their sins. Romans 5: 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Answer 8

they are all in heaven enjoying the afterlife
