Did you parents love you?

Question

Mine did, and do. God is all loving, correct. If he loves all his children, why throw then in a fire pit for all time to be tortured? Would a few years, or a spanking be good enough? My parents love me, and the worst I got from defying them was put in my room for a few hours after being slapped.

If you love someone, do you usually burn them?

I ment to say youR parents. Sorry, I don't spell well when I type.

Some of you did not get this, so I will do it again later. I sometimes do not explain myself in questions. Sorry.

Answer 1

I know my dad loves me. My mom is another story. She had some serious anger problems (banging my head against the wall, beating me, throwing chairs, hair pulling, giving me nosebleeds, telling me to die, etc.). She said she did it to love me. Whatever. She was just angry. I only obeyed her to avoid being beaten, not because I knew something was wrong.

You have a good point. I'm actually more afraid of God than anything. I know He is supposed to have this great, wonderful love thing, but His other side scares me. I struggling with atheism and believing right now. I kind of wish I would just be atheist and right. I hope he's not real so I can live in peace. Seriously, my fear of God really ruins my life because I worry about it all the time. And this is coming from a person who isn't sure if she believes in God:(. So now I try hard to "honor thy mother" only because I'm afraid of Hell, and not really because I feel bad. But in truth, I hate that ***** (oh, sorry God).

Hmm...punishments sometimes do the opposite.

Answer 2

For the past few weeks I have been taking a comparitive religions class and I have found that hell is not a firey place you are put for judgement but rather state of mind or being. People wind up in hell not because they stole some 50 dollar shoes or because they didn't follow Jesus. People end up in hell because they are self centered in nature. There is no devil overseeing this as the only person torturing you in hell is yourself.

Answer 3

yes. God is the all knowing all loving all powerful creator of the billions of stars, galaxies.... that's all you have to do in life is believe.

If you believe in God the Jesus way, but also have raped, killed, tortured, etc. , you will be given a sweet crib on a street paved with gold in heaven.

But..... If you don't BELIEVE in GOD!!!!WOOO EEEE....that is the WORST sin of all because you didn't think just like the Christians did about the bible and accept their interpretations they came up with...
if you didn't believe Jesus was a human sacrifice with his blood, YOU will BURN forever!!! mwaaahaaahaaahaaaa...

maybe it would make more sense to you once you realize God likes you to slaughter baby animals for him and sprinkle the blood around the alter then burn them because he likes the aroma.... He also ordered through inspiration the massacre of women and children in the bible. Since THIS is our God, and not the lovey dovey God of peace Christians try to pretend for you he is, Then it would make more sense that he wants you to burn in the lake of fire for eternity for the hugest sin of all: FLEETING BELIEFS and THOUGHTS OF THE HUMAN BRAIN.

Answer 4

Yes, my birth mum did love me, till she passed when I was 8. My step mum doesn't love me, but that's understandable as I am not actually her child and my step sister and 1/2 sister are her children, so I would expect her to love them.
I think my dad loves me, pretty sure. But there's no way he would choose me over my step mum, I know this for a fact because he lets her say whatever she wants to me and what she tells people about me and never speaks up.

Answer 5

I understand the point your trying to make, and the target you are trying to reach, but those people that believe in the perfect, loving, kind, all-forgiving GOD that throws disobedient people into a lake of eternal fire and brimstone, is so badly brainwashed....there is very little hope of ever reaching them. I applaud your attempt though.

Answer 6

My parents love me my mom has only beat me once and the rest of the time she had pulled my ear. In terms of God is he had to do that to find out for example if Shadrach, Mishach, and Abennigo were faithful in were true to the core. Yeah that is intense but I doubt there are parents that burn their kids if they do it is abuse. Plus The peps in the bible did not get burnt.LOL

Answer 7

I was a good kid, there were a few times I got in trouble but it was nothing major. I've never really got along with my parents, but I do know they love me and I love them too. Our misunderstandings will someday be put behind us.

If God is my Father, he hasn't done much for me. My real dad has done more for me than he has. We're not religious.

Answer 8

i dont know to this day if my parents love me. its never said. never expressed. but i know they think im a spoiled brat. a kid that needs an attitude adjustment. which isnt true. they just never take the time to get to know who i am and what im really about. i have been on depression meds for about 6 months and my mom thinks that depression is just an attitude change. for most ppl it isnt. its a chemical imbalance. for me its the constant 24 hour stress i have.

so to answer ur question. i dont think they do

Answer 9

You are pointing out that the concept of hellfire is inconsistent with the personality of a benevolent creator? Agreed. Before birth, nothingness. After death, oblivion.

Answer 10

My parents loved us as much as they were capable of loving us. I was beaten, yes, but I was also given a lot of exposure to what life has to offer. My parents instilled in me a great love in nature and science.

Without the fear of eternal damnation, what possible motive could there be for accepting a fairy tale as gospel?
