i didn't ask who gods army was... i asked why he had an army.... if he could just uncreate what he has created than why does he put his people in harms way? / why does he have an army

Answer 1

Because your incoherant ramblings make no rational sense and no one knows what your talking about because you're question isn't very clear (ie. what army are you referring to, quoting scripture, etc.)

You can't ask a vague unsubstantiated question and then yell at people for giving you vague unsubstantiated answers.

Answer 2

Ok God's army.. as in the end times and Armageddon correct? When the armies of heaven come against the armies of Hell? If this is what you are talking about, God will come back on a white horse with his army of believers; there won't be fighting like you imagine, the saints come back as a testament to those still on Earth that they are alive and stand with Christ. Christ will do all the "fighting himself," he will destroy Satan's army (so I guess you can say uncreate them.) Yes there will be death in those days because the enemies of God must die and those who waited too late may also get caught up in it and die, although those who come to Christ during that time will go to Heaven too.

Answer 3

Assuming the question is "Why does God need and army?" - Well, he doesn't need it, but he has one because many people and angels are on his side. Just like many people and angels are on Satan's side. It will be a war to prove to mankind that God is the almighty. The point is that God doesn't need to prove anything to us humans, had he wanted to, he could have just destroyed everything after Adam and Eve sinned and started all over. The point being that when Adam and Eve sinned they called into question God's inherant right to rule over us humans because he's our creator. Humans from the start wanted to try to rule and decide for themselves. So the fact that God is letting the world run it's course till he's decided it's enough is actually quite loving on his part to spare what humans he can.(I think personally that mankind's reign for the past thousands of years has proved that we're not very good at ruling over ourselves and could use some guidance.) According to the Bible God desires all to be saved, but also he knows that that won't happen. Hence the reason for Armageddon.
Now we also need to recall that in the time of Job, it was also called into question as to why people serve God if not only for what he gives them(selfish reasons), or out of true love for him. (You can read more about Job in the Bible, there's a whole book on him) But God was blessing his faithful servants with good things and Satan said that was the only reason anyone followed him. So at Armangeddon if God were to just wipe out Satan and all of his army(demons and bad people), what would it prove? Yes, that God is all powerful - but it wouldn't prove that anyone serves him out of love - that question would remain open. So to put both of these questions that Satan himself brought upon all of creation to rest, God will allow his army to defeat them. So God's army is basically there because they love and worship him. They are really only called an army because there will be a war in which they will fight to prove their love for God. And if you have God on your side, how can you lose?

Answer 4

What does God call it? Preach love too you? Lets see what God says, to do with you.

You have unbeliever's. Chaff, Scoffers.

An Atheist is a scoffer. The WORD of God, clearly tells you the filhty rags they are, and to stay away from them, and avoid them. We are NOT to plant seeds. God knows it is useless and that is why he tells us, "You stand firm against them" ( Jer.17:8 14:1 Iah 44:4) You disassociate them completely. Any Believer that does not abide in God's own Word, does not know God, according too God Himself. Atheists are "chaff" A simile of the wretchedness of the wicked. Chaff is carried away by the lightest wind, and it's removal brings about cleansing by extracting what is utterly useless. (Ruth 1:22). They will NOT stand in the judgment. They will NOT be able to withstand God's wrath when He judges.( Paslams 76:7 Exra 9:15). This is not my opinion, this is God's very own Words, in the Bible. You know, the BIble? The same Bible atheist scholars quote. There is a reason God, said this. Psalms.1.1-3 Jer. 17:8 14:1 12. 1-2 18:9-10 Prov1.10-19 (vs 5) scoffers:(atheists) those who ridicule God and definatley reject His Law. Prov 1.:22 Ruth 1:22 Jer 18:7 (pull down-destroy) 1:10 (evil-calamity) 18:11

Pslams 1:
godly wisdom here, declare the final outcome of the two "ways". The paths of "sinners" (unbelievers) and the "way of the righteous. he speaks progressively of assoociation with the ungodly and participation in they're ungodly ways.

God said it. End of Story. Jesus Himself said "Let the dead bury they're dead".

Use all the Internet and Dictionaries they want to and call themselves anything they wish. God "defined" what they are by His own words.

They can hang a dog tag* around they're neck in the pits if hell itself and separate each other by name categorically.

God's Word said it. By God's definition. There is NO opinion.

Hate? Where do you get hate? If God's TRUTH is hate too you, then, so be it. You and God, can and will discuss the means of your sciptural interpretation, consisting with a man-made defacto on a motion of plea bargin I guess. I dunno.

Answer 5

I'm not sure what your asking.
But god dose not need an army of men to fight his battles.
There are many times in the bible where god uses his angles to destroy the wicked.
But the best example of this is when Jesus is betrayed by Judas.
When the guards come to arrest him some of his followers start to fight them. But Jesus stops them and says if, he needed to be saved he could call on legions of angles to fight for him.
If you give yourself to god you won't have to worry about anything ever again.
Its much more rewarding, your life has never been in your control anyway.

Answer 6

Hi...God has a spiritual army. God and his angels are not coming to kill you. Yes, there will be a time when Christ will return. I admit that I don't understand or know everything. I don't think anyone can...or should. Faith comes into play. God gave his people free choice...good and evil are present in this world. I am sure no one can deny that. Will there be a time when they clash...common sense says yes. Do we need to worry or dwell...no. God is good. He really is. Will he send you to Hell? No...only you can do that (there is that free will again)
YOu don't have to understand it all to beleive...you will learn as you go.

Answer 7

Simple - Gods army is only the SOULS who accept him against the SOULS who doesn't. (No fleshly wars) If you want to go deeper than that it will become a debate fit for a suitable forum.

Answer 8

Look, stop giving away points stupidly!

Answer 9
