Looking back at the world, as a believer i tend to ask myself if God really exist. I really do feel him deep down in my heart, but that's not enough for me.
People at this very moment at somewhere are getting hurt, getting killed, or killing each other, fighting over stupid reasons. Basically people are suffering all around the world over such stupid stuff, by poverty, by emotionally.
If god really exist then why are we suffering from these? Why can't we be all happy and have a solution to our problems? If God is the answer to everything why do we still have to ask WHY?
If babies are angels, why are we killing them? If mothers are very important why are we hurting them? Why isn't God stopping all this?
Didnt want to offend anybody by asking this question, just felt like speaking out loud.

Is god selfish?
2006-07-24 05:45:35 · update #1
i am the same way too. i believe too but it is hard. when a healthy child is born people say that 'god blessed you'. when a child dies during birth or a woman miscarries then what? you weren't blessed with a healthy child so does that mean that god doesn't love you? does it mean that god wanted your child for himself and if he did isn't that selfish of him? i don't know but i don know that things like that and what you said make it harder for people like me to believe.

Humans have free will - and every person alive made the choice to become incarnate and to develop and grow as a separate human being - without divine intervention. What most humans don't realize is that we are all part of the same source, the same cosmos, which is God. Not the biblical 'God' which is a patchwork of superstitions and senseless dogma, but the true God. When we reach a point in our experiences when we can recognize God in everything and everyone (including ourselves), when we can understand the profound responsibility we collectively have for one another and the world in which we live, then we can begin to change the world. We're a long way from that, however, and as long as we "blame" 'God' or 'Satan' for the things for which we ourselves are responsible, we continue to live in dark confusion.

There will always be evil in this world. In the struggle for power, these people will stop at nothing. There is no value put on a human life. God gave us a free will and all choices are not the right ones. there are different religions involved and the beliefs of other countries are not the same as those of Christians. this proves that Christianity has not necessarily reached all corners of the world. As we pray don't forget "Thy will be done"

Nobody an come up with a reasonable answer for your questions. I just want you to know there are a lot of people like you and me who are suffering because of world events.
the problem is that this kind of massacre has been going on sine prehistoric time and there are a lot of people who think it is okay -as long as it happens to the other guy's family.
Heartwrenching.

God gave us free will... to choose for ourselves what to do. We also have the Light of Christ to tell us what is right and what is wrong... it is what tells you as soon as you do something wrong that it WAS wrong... unless of course you have been walking away from the light and you can no longer hear his voice telling you right from wrong...
God will never take away our free will... Satan wanted to... and God refused... so Satan rebelled and was cast out of Heaven.
We came to this world to receive the gift of a body... and to be tested to see if we would do all that God commands...
this test is not to show God what we do or deserve... but to prove to us at the judgement that the judgement we receive is a just one.

Yes, He truly exists. In Ecclesiastes3:11 The Word of God said that He put eternity in everyone heart. I encourage you to read this passage. the answer to your question is in the Bible. if you ask god to reveal Himself to you while you are reading his word, I think He will. I encourage you to doing that.

God will put an end to all who do not believe in Him when he comes (no man knoweth the day or hour)
It is HIS decision - NOT yours.
He does NOT work on YOUR time line.
You need to read your Bible more than you are.

The answer is more than I can type

come on, do you see god stopping anything while we humans conduct all sorts of despicable acts on a large or small scale on our own kind and others?
there is either NO god or god is a cruel indifferent observer who watches in glee while his subjects suffer.
