Is God hypocritical?

Question

He "loves" everyone, but will send gay people and atheists to hell!

Why does "hell" exist if God loves everyone?

Personally, I believe there is no hell, and everyone is ressuructed until they have learned all the lessons of life...

Answer 1

God does love everybody but. When you piss god off god sends you to hell. simple. Oh and The Gay thing. Just a misunderstanding.....

Answer 2

He loved all people and He came to earth as a man to die on the cross for the sins of the world. He does not send anybody to hell. People send them self to hell by rejecting what the Lord Jesus Christ did on the cross. He died for your sins, He was buried and took your sins away and He rose again the third day for your justification. Don't take a chance that there is no hell believe and trust in what He did for you. Philippians 2: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Philippians 2: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Philippians 2: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Answer 3

How do we know he's sending gay people and atheists to Hell? That's conservative America talking, and frankly they have no idea who is being to sent to Hell.

Let's say Hitler prayed before he died and asked God and Jesus for forgiveness. What kind of being would God be if he sends good people to Hell, solely based on their sexuality and religious beliefs, but perhaps allows Hitler to enter Heaven? God isn't cruel, he in fact does love everyone, so to answer your question he's then not hyprocritical.

Answer 4

Here's the problem: you're confused as to what Biblical "love" is. The NT Greek word for "love" was/is "agape". It's NOT mushy sentimentality. It's more like tough love, and it means doing what's right and good for someone, regardless of individualistic tendencies. Now, I'm not saying that "love" doesn't ALWAYS exclude emotion, but that its prime focus was for the good of the community. We don't understand this because we are not "communal" but "individualistic". Read up on it more at http://www.tektonics.org/whatis/whatlove.html

P.S.: Your comments about homosexuals is a straw-man to me; I believe that homosexuality is a sin, but homosexuals are not automatically going to Hell. They (as well as atheists) will only go to Hell if they consciously REJECT the Gospel (although atheists always seem to reject it constantly anyway!).

Answer 5

Not gay people

LIKE YOU, I TAKE THE BIBLE SERIOUSLY!
Many good people build their case against homosexuality almost entirely on the Bible. These folks value Scripture, and are serious about seeking its guidance in their lives. Unfortunately, many of them have never really studied what the Bible does and doesn't say about homosexuality.

We gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Christians take the Bible seriously, too. Personally, I've spent more than 50 years reading, studying, memorizing, preaching, and teaching from the sacred texts. I earned my master's and doctoral degrees at a conservative biblical seminary to better equip myself to "rightly divide the word of truth." I learned Hebrew and Greek to gain a better understanding of the original words of the biblical texts. I studied the lives and times of the biblical authors to help me know what they were saying in their day so I could better apply it to my own.



I'm convinced the Bible has a powerful message for gay and lesbian Christians -- as well as straight Christians. But it's not the message of condemnation we so often hear.

I'm not expecting you to take my word for it, though. I ask only that you'd consider what my research has taught me about the passages used by some people to condemn God's gay and lesbian children. Then decide for yourself...

MY FIRST PREMISE:
Most people have not carefully and prayerfully researched the biblical texts often used to condemn God's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender children.

As you may know, biblical ignorance is an epidemic in the United States. A recent study quoted by Dr. Peter Gomes in The Good Book found that 38 percent of Americans polled were certain the Old Testament was written a few years after Jesus' death. Ten percent believed Joan of Arc was Noah's wife. Many even thought the epistles were the wives of the apostles.

This same kind of biblical ignorance is all too present around the topic of homosexuality. Often people who love and trust God's Word have never given careful and prayerful attention to what the Bible does or doesn't say about homosexuality.

For example, many Christians don't know that:

Jesus says nothing about same-sex behavior.
The Jewish prophets are silent about homosexuality.
Only six or seven of the Bible's one million verses refer to same-sex behavior in any way -- and none of these verses refer to homosexual orientation as it's understood today.
Most people who are certain they know what the Bible says about homosexuality don't know where the verses that reference same-sex behavior can be found. They haven't read them, let alone studied them carefully. They don't know the original meaning of the words in Hebrew or Greek. And they haven't tried to understand the historical context in which those words were written. Yet the assumption that the Bible condemns homosexuality is passed down from generation to generation with very little personal study or research. The consequences of this misinformation are disastrous, not only for God's gay and lesbian children, but for the entire church.



The apostle Paul says, "Test all things and hold fast to that which is good." By reading this little pamphlet, you are taking Paul seriously.

Answer 6

The "God" described by some religions is, yes. BUt I don't think any real God would send anybody to hell.

Answer 7

no such thing as hell.


(Job 33:28-30)'He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit, And my life shall see the light.' Behold,.. God does all these oftentimes with men,
To bring back his soul from the pit, That he(GOD) may be enlightened with the light of life. (it all about reincarnation)

John3:3 I say unto Thee. (apostles) Except a man be Born Again, (reincarnated)
he cannot see the Kingdom of God.


John3:7 Marvel not that I said unto Thee. (apostles)
'Ye' must be Born Again. (reincarnated/2nd Coming)

John14:1 Thomas could not comprehend what Jesus meant when He said...
"I will come again (2nd coming/reincarnate), and take you (reincarnation of Thomas)to myself.
That where I am... You may be also, and you know the way where I am going."
Thomas asked..."How can we know the way?"
Jesus answered.... "I am the Way... and 'The Truth'... and the Life."

1Peter1:23 Being... Born Again (reincarnated), not of corruptible seed(sperm), but incorruptible.

John20:21 So Jesus said to them again... "Peace to you!
As the Father has sent me (to be Born Again)...
I also send you." (to be Born Again/Reincarnated/2nd Coming)

Matthew24:44 So 'you'(apostles) too must be ready... because at an hour 'you'
are not expecting 'Him'... the 'Son' of 'Man' will come. ( be born again)
