If god loves us so much how can anything we do be wrong. he created us. the good and the bad parts of human nature. so how can a god that created us the way we are exspect us to be any differant than the way he created us.If hes going to set up there and watch us like a vidieo game or some kinda show for his own amusement and let us make those wrong choices and then torture us with fire in hell after we die. how is that right, he created us. he created the world this way. Ive beleived in god all my life but latley i feel im loosing faith. I have so many unanswered question. why does god let children suffer? why is he not stopping this war? why does he let people be poor and some be rich? If he wanted good loving christians, he would of created the world that way. he would of gave us peace on earth. He would be on earth with us defending all thats good, making things right for all people. the poor and the rich.

Well, from what I understand it's God love that gave you the choice to do "anything". God's love is what has freed you, and He loves you so much that He has let you go. I don't necessarily believe in this, but like I said, it is what I have come to understand.

It's the reason why among all the only animals living on earth, we are the only ones gifted with freewill.
God doesn't allow all the wars to happen, and for the rich to be more rich and for poor to be poor. It's because we have failed to see what the power of free will can do to all of us if everyone could think of genuine altruism toward others.
And since we have practically poured ourselves with all the worldly pleasures there is, we are now blinded by the fact that we are held responsible for each and everyone in this planet. Sense of individualism has pervaded our minds that we think living alone could really afford us that significant existence.
There is joy in sharing our blessings with those who were not born fortunate enough to have sufficient meals on their table.
It's not God allowing us to live a miserable life on this planet, it's us and the options we choose that makes us miserable.

Never forget that God loves you no matter what.
He is alway there through thick and thin.
Read your word, open your mind and heart, and READ your WORD(BIBLE).
The first thing is that God the Father gave us free will, He did this because He wants us to choose to do the right thing. If there was no free will, no choice how could you really say that it was GOD you loved and trusted? Your belief in God has to be without measure, without stipulations, He does not just love us when we are good but always. So are you saying that because the world is not perfect you no longer love the Father? Your duty to yourself as a child of God is to let His light shine through you. Loving the Lord is not just about the good times its through the bad also. Dont turn the lacking in people to do right on the Father, for people do what they want. Read Your Word, Study the Word of God . Please get a better understanding of what and who He is before you decide to turn your back on Him.

He created us not to set up and watch us like a video game but the give him company. However, we did not understand it clear and tried to take things in our hands and so have created a world in which we are living in. Rich and poor are all created by us. He did not created money it is us who created it and the way of living.
Most of us forget there is GOD when we are far too happy in life. However, when anything sad happens in our life we all blame GOD for it. It is just a reminder from GOD to us that he still exists.
Therefore we all have to make effort in making this world a better place to live for our future generation. As they say "You harvest what you plant!"
GOD BLESS!

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus
You've struck the philosophical nail right on the head. The argument for a supposed "god's plan" seems to indicate that god is the most malevolent character ever created.
If he allowed free will to do such things, he is ignorant, and he is no longer omnipotent (since he cannot change our actions).
Although why people are rich and poor is mostly a capitalist societal issue - not god's. Communism was supposed to work out all those kinks, but um, yeah.
Keep thinking - it'll help you more in the long run.

You have a lot of questions crammed into this one space and I don't think we can answer them all.
Compare God's relationship to us, like one we have with our children. We love them endlessly, but they still do wrong things. It is free will. Our children misbehave because they do not have the life experience in some cases to know better. We are like that, we learn as we grow and go thru different things.
As parents we have to let our children get a little chilled at times, so they remember to bring a coat, or fall and learn to slow down. It's hard as a parent to let them go thru things, but for their own good, we have to stand back sometimes and watch. God loves us as his children and we learn, we fall, pick ourselves up and life goes on. Allt he while he is standing by our side.
As for letting little children suffer. It is horrible to think about why these things happen and we don't always know. But I do know tht in the overall timeline of eternity, this life on earth is a blink of an eye.
People, in their freewill are largely responsible for whether they make their lives here on earth a success, whether they work like dogs and make investments or work at a job and spend all their money and then some.
Sometime things happen in our lives that are outside of our control, loss of a job, or an accident. That is when faith is so important, to be able to pray that God will stand by you - not asking him to fix it, after all he didn't cause you to get laid off - ask him to strengthen you, stay with you, help you learn whatever lessons you can from it, and move on praying the whole time.

God loves all his creations, he is more close to his believers.If you believed in him ,he will show you the right path and be guided . but we have free will to choose what we want.....we make a wrong choice & we face the consequence.. the problem is we human being who create havoc here for all our own sellfish needs and greed. and god has given us a great gift to mankind "mind" to think and seek knowledge and truth. its ok to fall down but its important that you learn to stand up again and don't give up hope in GOD for sometimes god does test us to see if the faith that you have in him is true.
may god bless you

Two words Free Will. everyone has free will, unfortunately, many use it to hurt others. As for your question, that's what Satan wants you to believe. Think about it, the freedom your given, the more responsibility, and more consequences. God wants us to do good, but It's our choice, the older and wiser we get the more our choices count on being closer r further from what he wants. What does he want, I'm afraid only you can answer that for yourself.

You are mistaken, God did not create the Bad parts. Read Genesis. Our sin nature is past down from Adam and Eve. We where created in His image. (Which is Perfect.) We caused the bad part.

You cannot do anything wrong. Since if you really think about it, god loves you so much that he is one with you. And therefore you ARE god. And you love yourself. So you're a narcisist. Weirdo!
