God is Love! We are his creation, but he also gave us the ability to think and make decisions and our decision making is often not up to par.

Not all religions believe that God is love. Many religions believe that God is war, or that God has more of a recreational interest in people; or that God is a society of ruling elite who can manipulate matter like modeling clay.

People are selfish because it is their nature to seek gratification. Being naturally selfish doesn't damn humanity; it is humanity. The world will be a much better place when we stop asking someone else to redeem us for us.

Gdo has given us all the favors but human has no contentment; if anyone is being blind by riches in this world and use this resource not in accordance with God's will, then youre in trouble. Human being become selfish and liar because of thier human agenda, this is not acceptable to God. another thing is - now a days human being set aside God in thier lives, they almost believe on the the principle of SURVIVAL of the Fitest where they almost lost thier faith in God.... No selfishness and Lier in this world IF everyone heart is bound for God and Christ Centered Only....... amen

I think you need to do a little research into your God and you will find out that he is not love but a means of control, a weapon of murder and a conduit of war.

Love is not restricted to your religion, anyone can love, it is an emotion and emotion that is purely natural, deviod of any god like figure. As Em said correctly, being slefish and lying is parts of human nature, deal with it, its a survival instinct as believe it or not we once lived the rough (or could be construed as the free life) life free of towns, cities, villages, politics, religion etc. We use to wander the land.....

Because we think we are better than God. We think we can do what we want and feel we should get away with it. It is called being wicked and evil. We love the evil way. We do not want to obey. We are in sin. This is why people are going to hell. That is why the Lord Jesus Christ (GOD) came and died for you eventhough you are in sin and full of mischief. Just so we could go to heaven. This is why when you repent, trusting in Jesus Christ (that He paid your debt by dying on the cross, shedding His blood and rising from the dead) you are changed. The old (wickedness and sin) becomes NEW (righteousness) you no longer are a slave to sin... you are freed from sin and no longer want to lie and cheat and sin and hurt... it is AWESOME how the Lord can turn a whore into a lady, and a drunkard into a sober man...

I do not think your statement is all that true. Most humans are good most of the time.

But the answer is that Satan tempts people into sin, which is anything that moves us farther from God. When we give in we are being selfish and taking the easy way out.

Because humans continue to disobey God and the doing of his will. We are also living in the last days - as shown by the Second Scripture.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 - 16 Always be rejoicing. 17 Pray incessantly. 18 In connection with everything give thanks. For this is the will of God in union with Christ Jesus respecting YOU.

2 Timothy 3:1-7 - 1 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. 6 For from these arise those men who slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, 7 always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

I agree that people are selfish and that they lie. But I don't think there is a God or that he is an omnipresent love.

But if he really exists he probably screwed something terribly up while making this world. Or did it deliberately and that would mean that he is a cruel and mean bastard.

hi
the question is about(,,,so selfish and lier?) not more
but not about religions,I mean it is more general than that
though I want to say by the way ( poor are Arabs )!!!!
world sweep problems & put it there,then blame them
they are plaschal lamb of hate !!!
although the problem in there is not religious wise at all
now lets return to the main
I assume that reader believes in God, if not ,the whole
statement is false.
all religions (ALL) don't speak about the TIME before
creating humans,though it mention that Human beings
were being,but in which form?for how long?what kind of
existance?,,?,,?,,? and so many questions .
On this basis,we can say that,
_we have certain existance
before having flesh and bones and skin,
_we had the choice to accept our existance as it is now
_those who didn't accept went out of the equation of
freedom like(stones,stars,plants,water,materials,elements,
even angles,all has only to obey their God aommands,no
objections,no freedom ,follow what we call phisical and
chemical laws(materilas,elements) gravitational and
quantom laws(masses,planets,galaxies,light,,,) or
metaphisical rules (angles)
_for those who had choosen freedom,Humans,Jinnees,
may be more ,they have 3 facotors acting on them:
1_God call , to be good and to do good and to have
their result of deeds ,each on his own count, no
intercession,
2_mephistopheses call to be bad to do bad,weasel of
deeds,make anyother one carry them
3_their own nature,intention,which endorses one of last
two directions,also they have -humans-the mind,common
sense,religions,logic to use to reach end point,
_After that God showed us on theatre of life
so if there is bad,it is by us
all good are by God
hope help

Because if God is everywhere he may not be present in the same amount. Where there is very little of God then there is only darkness and evil.
