Answer 1

okay, here is a story for you.

once I went to have a haircut, and a hairdreser asked me the same question: "I don't think God exists because why doesn't He stop all the pain in the world, and people suffer?" honestly, I didn't know, what to answer. then my hair was done, I got out of the salon and saw a woman, whose hair was a total mess. I came back and told that hairdresser: "I don't believe in hairdressers. they don't exist." - "what? but I just did your hair!" - "no. they don't exist. because if they do, then why are there so many people with messy hair out there?" - "ah! that's easy: people just don't come to us!" - "same thing is with God. people don't turn to Him, and this is why there is so much pain and suffering in the world."

think about it.

Answer 2

A. God can and does do every single thing he claims to be and do in the Bible.
B. God is working everything in this world according to his purposes. Romans 8:28 and ephesians 1:11 state this very clearly.
C. the reason God has ordained that there be so much evil in the world is to make known the riches of his glory and grace for vessels of mercy (Christians) -romans 9. Think about, if there was no evil in the world then no one would cry out to god to be saved from it.

D. Just the fact that we have a built in system of good and evil in ourselves proves that there is a God. What is evil and what is good if there is no bible to define so?

Answer 3

Because God gave us all a free will, so that we can choose salvation or destruction. Are we obedient to God and Sincere in our love for him and Steadfast in our faith in him? Surely Satan was correct when he said to the Almighty, "and you will see, most of them will be ungrateful." This refers to the majority. The majority of the people are sleepwalking through their lives, with pointless things they keep themselves busy. But God has said to Satan "You can do whatever you want, but you will see that my people are like a Wall you cant shake them!" It is your choice are you from the majority or the minority? Your actions here determine your fate in the hereafter. We should be aware that this life is just a walkthrough, we live for the next world.

And when a Believer dies the Angels come unto him and say "Dont be afraid, the time has come for the fulfillment of all the promises that were made to you." God's will is to show these righteous from the others, the "majority" and eventually he will Stop the evil when He sends the Messiah who will purge all unrighteousness from this world. Behind whom The Prophet Jesus (PBUH) will offer prayers.

Answer 4

The truth is there is no god. The notion that "god" is a loving father who protects you and takes you away to his happy home when you die, is only a mental defense mechanism that man developed around the same time he became self-aware. It is something most people have to help balance out thoughts of helplessness and depression over the realization of our inevitable and unpredictable death. If beleif in "god" is an important thing to make you feel loved and protected in some way, just go with it. If you see through it, and don't need it, don't let those who do fool you. God is their imaginary friend.

Answer 5

God wishes to have a personal relationship with us all through His Son Jesus Christ. Having a relationship though requires a choice. People can't have real loving relationships with robots because robots only do what they are progammed to do. If you had a robot that what nice to you all the time and told you great things, it would not be because it truly loves you, it is because it is programed to and it had no choice. For true love to exist there has to be a choice. God tried to make it as simple as possible for us at the garden of Eden- Just don't eat from the one tree, but we messed that up. As a result, the harmony of a perfect world is gone and we now have Hurricanes, Earthquakes, etc. It is still simple though- You either accept Jesus as your Saviour and Lord or don't. This comes to the very heart of your question. Because God has given us that choice to choose or reject him, there are naturally some who will choose to reject. It is the further choices that they make after that, which bring misery into the world- Terrorism, Molestation, Crime, Greed, Etc. Because we share the same world with those who do these things, their actions affect us all.

As far as your question why God doesn't take everyone to heaven now 2 Peter 3:8-9 says this:

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."

God will not force somebody who has spent his life rejecting God to be in heaven with Him. If one spends all of his life rejecting God in all he does, then it would be just as torturous as Hell for him to spend an eternity with that same Holy God.

Answer 6

God cannot act, because he is only a belief. Belief alone is useless without some way to take action. if all the christians took action and together hand carried watter to areas with drought would it be an act of god? no. it is an act of people.

Live your live without god, and with people. you'll find satisfaction and less confusion.

as for those who use the " god makes the rules just live by em" that is brainwash. it means only those who are cunning enough to get into the priesthood can "interpret" and thus control the masses.

Answer 7

He gives us a choice, Adam and Eve sinned when they ate the apple, think about it, it was the ONLY thing God told them not to do, and they disobey Him. Because of that their is sin in this world, the good thing is that God died for us so we can be saved. Another thing is that not everyone would want to give up their earthly status, wealth, money, and life to go to heaven. Some people make their homes, cars, etc their gods. Would they appreciate heaven, do they really love God. People like this wouldn't want to live there. God is love, and he dosent' want to make us like machines, he gives us choices, love Him and obey, or disobey and the consiquences will come accordingly. You can read the Bible and talk to a pastor, mabey you'll find out more answers your looking for.

Answer 8

God can do whatever he pleases at any moment he pleases. Time is a human concept. So to God time doesnt exist and everything that has yet to happen has already happend to him. Thats why the book of revelations gives an account of whats to come when he does return. Because to God it has already happend and the outcome of it has already been decided. There is only ONE ASSURED WINNER when Christ returns. What side will you be on when that time is upon us all? I would advise you to accept his wondeful gift of salvation so that you can be saved and expierence real LIFE after this life on earth ends. Absent from the flesh is to be present with the lord!

Answer 9

Does God's creation of natural "evil" conflict with the teaching of scriptures that God is all good? Not in the way the Bible defines the terms. God is all good in a moral sense. When God punishes us for sin His action is not morally evil, it is actually morally good. We might also add that, while natural suffering may seem tragic and a great evil to us in this life, its consequences are short-lived and quite insignificant in terms of our eternal fate. God's agenda is to get us to heaven. In pursuit of that most righteous goal, whatever suffering we must endure in this life does not matter, Hebrews 12:7-11, Romans 8:18-23.

Answer 10

So what your saying is you would like for God just to end this world right now and all those going to hell goes on, and all those going to heaven goes on. What if, lets say 10,000 out of the hundreds going to hell were to be saved because someone or something lead them to Christ, but because of you thinking why can't God do this and that, they had to go on to hell. I sure am glad God is in control and not you cause you could send hundreds to hell cause you are ready to end it now. The only time evil will stop is when the world is over.

Answer 11

There is no such thing. Quit wasting time trying to figure out something that is as imaginary as the Tooth Fairy.
Instead make a difference yourself in your world, fight injustice, help people, be generous and loving. Give yourself a purpose. Don't know what it is? Make a list of things you think are wrong in the world, and make a list of gifts that you have or would like to gain for yourself. Somewhere, they will intersect. Go there. Good luck!
