How come God keeps giving us a chance?

Question

First, He flooded the earth, yet saved a few to repopulate the planet. Then He sent His Son to die for our sins to save us from eternal death.

What exactly is His purpose for keeping us around, I wonder?

Because if I am to be used, I'd like to know why. Don't you?

Answer 1

God promised, after the flood,. that he would never again destroy the Earth by flood. He loves us and wants us to love him. But he is getting tired of the sin----just as he did when he destroyed the world the first time. He will have his way-----the day is coming when he will thin the herd.

Answer 2

ok, you must not be talking about the same god i grew up hearing about...

the god i heard about from the local catholic church works on a one strike you're dead system. adam and eve, not knowing anything about sin or its consequences, disobey once and they're out. the world gets a little rowdy, and it's a mass murder (aka great flood).
he plays games with job (or allows the devil to, which ammounts to the same), holds all humanity responsible for the actions of their first ancestors, sends unchristened babies to hell.... he even sends his son to suffer and die unnecessarily.
because you see, god being so fair and all powerful could have just boomed real loud, to get the world's attention and then in all his mighty glory he could have shown himself said "hey you, these are the rules, live by them. i am in change here, and i will enforce them." in a way that no one would doubt. instead he plays games. he reminds me of my brother. my brother likes to play card games. we often used to play away a boring summer afternoon. but he had the nasty habit of throwing away the cards every time he was about to lose the game.
if this god exists at all, he is a power hungry snob who finds no one acceptable unless they worship the cloud he floats over and never dare to deviate one comma from his wishes. he uses humans only to remind him of how great he is, and if they fail to do so, he kills them all, and whips up another batch, hopefully more obedient.

Answer 3

God is a Righteous God, who Loves us and cares for us and He wants as many as will to come to Him. However we must take note that He has also said "My Spirit shall not always strive with man." Simply put He is saying time is almost up so those who have not come to Him better do so quickly. Because we do not know when He will send Jesus we just know that He will. I'm ready. Are You?

Answer 4

HE is keeping us around until everyone on this planet has heard and/or read about GOD and had an opportunity to accept JESUS. After everyone is given every opportunity, then HE will appear.

What you can do to make this happen sooner is to help spread the Gospel!

Answer 5

God is long suffering and patient towards us as He does not want anyone to perish. But at the end of the age He will separate the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the tares.

Answer 6

People are simply hard headed and they are easy to be tempted. they first do mistakes and repent at the end when they already realized that they got mistakes. God so love everyone of us so He can gave a second chance who are worthy, He knows everything in this world so don't doubt why

Answer 7

God is raising Himself a family of Sons and Daughters.

Answer 8

Because he wishes for No One to perish. He loves us. Your purpose here on earth is to love God with your whole being and to prove Satan is a liar and thief.

Answer 9

You know, it never ceases to amaze me how many people know the mind of God, yet if you examined their personal lives, you would see how little they know.

Perhaps the depth Allah's (SWT) love and mercy is something we can't even BEGIN to fathom...

Answer 10

God loves you unconditionally,and has given you free will to make the right choice in your heart,sooner or later.
