what kind of father watches his children get murdered?
what kind of father lets his children commit suicide?

what kind of father watches his chidren die everyday in wars based on greed?
what kind of father lets his younger children become out of control and commit crimes un thought of from a little kid?
what kind of father lets people go to war and die in his name?
ok...i'm probably going to get a lot of hate answers..but i don't care...
i'm not religious and i probably never will be.
i was just wondering what kind of father does this?
i realize he can't watch over everyone, but don't u think he should watch over the ones that need to be watched over? don't u think he should reach out to the ones that need guidance?
just a question.

What kind of father takes away my mother when I'm 9 months pregnant and I get heart failure at 30 from the birth of my son.I wish I had the answers and I know how you feel.I question a lot of things too.I don't think that you should get a lot of hate answers.I don't like when people say she's in a better place because I believe her place was here with me.If the good die young and good go first and I'm a good person why am I still here?I think that most of us want to give the right answers but do we really have them right is the question.

Yes, He is watching, and His heart aches all the time he sees such dreadful things happening. I don't want to give you a hate answer, because love and hate are opposite, you know. Do you know that even if you don't believe Him, He loves you, very very much?
It was never His intention to see bad things happening to His children. He created us all perfect, do you know what I mean? That perfect world people dream, that's just what it was in the very beginning, with one difference: it was much better. But He didn't create us puppets. He gave us choices. And what did we chose... well all those things you said describe it. We are in the world, and that's the way the world is. I do think he should reach out to the ones who need guidance, and He does reach out to them... only if they ask Him, and if they really want it. There's no point in helping someone who does not want help. One day, Jesus saw a blind man, and asked if he wanted to be healed. Most people must think it was nonsense, but it wasn't. If you think about it, you'll see that lots of people actually don't want any help. They think they are perfectly able to look after themselves, but then things happen. Do you know that God Himself suffered the worst death while in this world? Well, of course you do (though you may not believe it). So why would he spare us from suffering if He spared not Himself? In the world to come, you know, there won't be any suffering... just an answer.

"Take heed, brethren, lest there be any of you with an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God"(heb 3:12)
God calls unbelief evil. Make sure that your heart is full of faith so that you can live a life that is pleasing to your heavenly father God has his own way of dealing with those that persecute his people and those that are persecuted for His names sake. Seek an understanding of the thing that you don't about before you judge or accuse blindly. The one you hate so much is the very One that loved you much that yes He sent His Son Jesus to die for this world that we might have a right to eternal life. Somebody need to seek Him on today, without belief the hell you walk in now will not compare to the eternal Hellfire that will burn your soul; no one will enter heaven without acceptance of Christ Jesus thus saith the Lord!

When you were growing up, did your dad stop you from doing everything bad? of course not
How did your dad try to stop you from doing the bad things that he saw you do? did he give you a spanking
How many times did you still do that same bad thing even after being punished for it? many times
If your father sees your brother doing something bad to you should that mean that he should love him less?
Think back to when you where a kid did you love your dad more or less after he spanked your butt for the third time after doing the same bad thing.
Would you love your dad more if locked you in your room and told you that he knows that you where going to bite your little brother later today so he is going to lock you up so you cant?
Maybe god know more than you do. Maybe god knows that getting raped, murdered or war, witch are all bad things, still knows they are the only way to get though your thick skull that he loves you, and that he wants you to love him back by not doing bad things. Just as your dad spanked your butt when you was a little kid.

Because He is a loving God that allows free will. People are free to make their own choices, and sometimes He does step in a help people in the situations that you described. But the truth is that these things happen because there is evil in the world. If the fact that these evil things exist don't turn you to God, then don't blame God! Blame the devil! Give credit where credit is due....

A father that realizes that our free will is the most precious thing we possess, and to take it away would diminish the value of this mortal experience.
He does watch over the ones that need to be watched over. He does reach out to the ones that need guidance. I have experienced it first-hand. What he doesn't do is force people to behave a certain way and restrict them from behaving in other ways. Free will - that's the key.

There is sin in the world. God loves us and it saddens him to see us suffer, but we are not his puppets. He has given everyone free will because he loves us and wants us to have a true relationship with him. There are many things we will never understand about "why" bad things happen, but God does offer us the promise of peace and hope and, most importantly, eternal life if we accept Christ as the Son of God.
The problem is that he reveals himself but people reject him because they think they would do a better job as being God. You are seeking God right now, so why don't you open your heart to develop a relationship with Him. The book of John, in the Bible, is a great place to start if you want to get to know Christ.

If you truly love someone you will let them know the decisions that they are making are wrong but will not force them to do anything. God will not force anyone to do anything.
Think of what God is saying like a radio station. Lets say that he is broadcasting on channel G and you are tuned into channel W. He can give you all the direction that you need but if you are not tuned in you will never know that he has.

He doesn't like watching all that stuff. It saddens him. He's the kind of father who commands his children to love each other and help each other out. That's what kind of father he is. Let's be obedient children. He does reach out to others, but he uses his obedient children to do so. Pick one of those problems, and go do something about it.
