all loving god?

Question

If god is supposed to be all-loving and all forgiving then why does he not let you into heaven if you don't believe in him, that doesnt sound all forgiving to me, sounds like god a is a selfish child, or an attention whore.

I like how no one answered my exact question, you all just dance around it. If he is all forgiving then why doesnt he forgive you for not believing in him duh! And for that I give the wiccan girl all the points, even though it made no sense.

Answer 1

I am Wiccan. Our Gods reside in nature and have both positive and negative aspects, like nature, For example Water heals and cleanses the body. But its also Hurrican Katrina. That's why we don't believe in absolutes

John 21:17 Lord, You know all things.

F. present everywhere (omnipresent);

Jer. 23:24 "Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the Lord. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the Lord.

G. holy (sinless and hating sin);

Lev. 19:2 1, the Lord your God, am holy.
Ps. 5:4-5 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with You the wicked cannot dwell. The arrogant cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all who do wrong.
Is. 6:3 Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty.

H. just (fair and impartial);

Deut. 32:4 He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.

1 John 4:8 God is love.

Note: God's attributes tell us what God is. God is each of these, all of these, and more than these attributes

Answer 3

If a person chooses not 2 believe in Him, then, there r consequences. Each person has the right 2 choose & each choice has postive or negative consequences. Yes, there are such things as postive consequences (rewards).

When kids refuse to work well in class, those kids fail. It's not the teachers' faults for kids' choices. Yet, the teacher is blamed on a smaller scale; as God is blamed on a much larger scale.

Happy Sabbath.

Answer 4

Sounds like you are looking for a reason to hate Him. Usually that is attached to a "rebel stage" we sinners go through when we start to realize we have control over nothing, know that He has control over everything, and are pissed we don't understand it. He is God. He can do what He wants. But, He loves you (even though none of us deserve it), and it sounds like He wants to give you a chance. I recommend taking it. You won't regret it. I wasn't truely happy until I found the Lord. Life is now everything it was really meant to be.

Answer 5

Through out the history of the Jewish nation God has repeatedly forgiven mankind. When Christ died for our sins, what greater expression of love for us that sacrifising a part of himself. In the end, all man will stand before Christ as their name is called and the book will show your transgressions, yet another chance of redemption. I think perhaps that is what is meant as a God of love, after all if you believe you are his creation, then you came from him anyway, right?

Answer 6

God will forgive and love you fore however long you are on Earth. You decide weather you go to Heaven by accepting him. If you deny him for 75 years or so and don't want his forgiveness and love then you don't deserve to live with him in Heaven forever. He will forgive if you want him to and ask him to, but if you don't and God doesn't mean anything to you, he still loves you, but you don't deserve him. After everything he has done for you by sending Jesus to die for you, all he wants in return is your love and to live in your heart. If you won't let him live in your heart, then he won't let you live in Heaven. You will burn in Hell for all eternity.

Answer 7

OK.....or he want's you to follow his commndments because he created you and he gave us his son to die on the cross for us. Oh and attention whore, more like you are an attention whore and you are trying to ake yourself feel important by asking these kind of questions and making yourself feel like you know hwat you are talking about and that you are right in your life.

Answer 8

you don"t need this Q answered by anybody else Phoenix has layed it all out for you in her summary of the bible A-M but let me ask you something- if you don't believe in him- how is it that you believe in heaven and why are you worried about "getting in" it if you don't believe?

Answer 9

God loves us SO MUCH, He sent Jesus to die for our sins. I accept that and I have been forgiven of MY sins. I will stay focused on what I can do for GOD, and NOT what He can do for me.

I feel sorry for you.

God loves you,..why would you talk about Him like that?

Answer 10

Your logic is flawed not only is the question flawed but so is your logic

number one if you do not believe in God you for some reason assume He does not exit, and therefore if you truly believed God did not exist then you have no need of Him nor heaven, because for, you heaven could not exit in which case how could a God who refused you entrance into heaven be a selfish child, or be a attention whore?

According to your question you do not believe in God and the only reason one would not believe in God is because to that person who does not believe God would not exist and therefore neither would heaven for both exist for him who believes the one who believes not has nothing to fear or does he?


In fact God is so loving he let's you make a choice He has provided a way in his word and all he ask is for you to believe as you know in His word yet you refuse therefore in judgment God is just, and loving and according to his word You are a fool

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools
despise wisdom and instruction. Pro1:7

In his word that word became flesh that word lived among us was made a way for us who believe

because heaven only exist for those who believe in God those who do not believe in God need no way into heaven for they choose another way by there un belief God would be unjust to allow someone, or something into heaven by another way

In fact let's pretend for you God does exist, and you died right now as you stand before God in judgment ask your arrogant selfish question in all it's glory tell God how unjust and unloving He is only you would ask such a question for you are a attention whore say to God you said your in your word your all loving and, all forgiving God would give you this answer

How can I let you into heaven to live with me you did not except my word to you and to You I do not exist heaven was created for those who believe in me and choose to get here by the way and, path that I set before them, but in answer to your question, because I am a loving and, a just God who is true to my word

I will give you your request as I am obligated to my word God would have to say to you go to hell

because for,You there is no God and, no heaven but, only in hell shall you live for according to your faith it shall be done unto you for were there is no God there is no heaven only hell

no one danced around your question it is you who is dancing around the answers given to you are an arrogant fool you and, your so called wise Wicca friend both make no sense you both choose to go to hell neither one of you have arrived at your chosen destination yet your already complaining about the accommodation God has made for you and you are not even there yet

Hey at least check into the room before complaining how unloving God is you made the reservation you followed your own path you know were your going to arrive in fact your complaining before you even got there why are you upset that God created a place without him for you how could it be heaven without God you read the map you know were your heading too sit back have fun enjoy the ride it will come to a end soon

were there is no God there is only hell for hell was created as a place were foolish created beings could live without God

You need not fear God is just and loving and, will give to you all that you sowed and, give it to you in good measure according to your belief if you wanted a hearts and flowers answer with a promised rainbow at the end I am sure some new age or, liberal or even your Wicca friend will give it to you

someone will give it to you the answer you want but if you want to dance around the Truth go ahead why should Christians cast pearls before swine

God gives you a choice because he is loving as your question directed to Christians for as you know all other religions earn there way into heaven through works and, there own merit

only Christians get to heaven through faith

I doubt if you have the guts to Read the whole answer for I believe your a liberal trying to start a fight withs such a stupid ill conceived argument in the form of a question.
