Does God hate children or is God dead?

Question

Imagine parents with a large family. The parents have a choice, to teach their kids how to behave decently (love and good) or just let them go wild (bad and evil).

Unfortunately, the parents who were decent are tragically killed in a car crash, and their kids are left to the forces of humanity to guide them, and sadly to say, some of their children change tact and venture off into the wild side. Their parents are dead, and can do nothing to help their children any more.

For religious believers, even if there was a God (and that’s pure speculation) your God had a choice also. To teach humans how to behave decently or just let them go wild. Looking at humanity which has gone wild, God clearly made bad choices as a parent of his so-called flock, or your God is dead – get over it.

Answer 1

Some children behave badly no matter how well their parents raise them. If, as an adult, you decide to no longer seek or listen to the counsel of your parents and go wild, is it your parent's fault when you bring yourself to ruin?

Answer 2

What are you talking about? God did teach us how to behave and right from wrong. That is what the bible is for. He also loved us and gave us free will and we (humans) are the ones messing this world up. We are the ones being disobedient to Gods commands. He tells us everything we will ever need to know in HIS WORD the bible. We are the stupid ones who try to add to it and make it "relevant to us today". His will is perfect, but our will is of the flesh. So if you want a better world then try living by Gods will. That is all why He sent His son to die. Because we can not do it on our own. We need his grace. We need the Holy Spirit to guide us with every step we take. We need Him as our Father to love us and take us in His arms when we fall down! He is perfect, we are not, that is why we need HIM!

Answer 3

Ima tell u something. God didn't let his "so-called" flock go wild. Life is a test that God puts us through. With him, anything is possible, I truly am a witness and God is real. I've seen too much and gone through too much not to believe in God. The Lord has let some people stray away from him because he has a plan for them. The Lord will not leave u down forever if you desire and ask to be picked up but it takes time, courage, and FAITH!

Answer 4

Choice... that's a sticky situation. If God is God, and He is what He says He is (perfect), then not only is He the best thing in the universe, but He is the best possible thing in the universe. His will is the same thing ("good, pleasing and perfect will" Rom 12 2), and it is also perfect.
Now, you could argue that God could not possibly want this to happen to His children, and additionally, since He is omnippotent, He actually made it happen. But since He only wants the best possible thing, He could not want his... unless it is the best possible thing. The only way to show His perfect love for us and in return tout Himself as the greatest thing in/out of creation would be to have the people fall and Him show His love by dying.
This may seem egotistic and self centered... but when you are the center of the universe, and the only path to salvation, then you have to promote yourself

Answer 5

Many good parents have bad children. We were given free will and put inside of us was the conscience to do the right thing.
Some people ignore that conscience and sin.
when someone steals he becomes a thief. He wasn't born that way. Many bad parents have good children who chose the right way. But with free will comes responsibleity for our actions.
We will be held accountable for our actions.
The judgement day is approaching and there will be a resurrection and everyone will have an opportunity to be judge as to good or bad. So how you live your life does count

Answer 6

God is the same... yesterday , today and tomorrow. God has not made bad choices, mankind has. Do not blame a God that you do not believe in for the failures of humanity. If anything, this should prove that humanity is not getting better and will someday evolve to the point of perfection. If man had not rebelled from God and hidden from him... if man would embrace God and his truths and apply them to his life, mankind would not be where we are today. Do not confuse the weaknesses and failures of religion which are of man... to the overriding power and truths that are from God.

Answer 7

Your logic just don't cut it. God gave us a instruction book. It is called the BIBLE, but he also gave us free will. There have been many good parents that have had their children turn out bad, or many bad parents who's children have turned out good. It's free will to do what you want to. A choice. No one can MAKE you do anything you don't want. So with that said, What point are you trying to make?

Answer 8

Your logic doesn't work. Even people whose parents taught them how to behave well do bad things. The same way your parents can't control your every action, God does not control our every action. He lets people behave the way they want.

Answer 9

Eph 6:a million-3 6 children, obey your dad and mom in the Lord: for that's ideal. 2 Honour thy moms and dads; (it really is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it would want to be properly with thee, and thou mayest stay lengthy on earth.

Prov 10:23 23 it truly is as pastime to a fool to do mischief: yet a guy of information hath information. KJV Prov 17:21 21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the daddy of a fool hath no exhilaration. KJV fool

Answer 10

Get over yourself unbeliever, God started his children out in paradise. They chose to use their freewill badley just as YOU ARE DOING. If everyone was following God's word from the start there wouldn't be any problems now would there. People are creating their own problems because they choose not God's way but their own. He is however going to fix everything soon, but you won't get to enjoy it it you don't change.
