How can God damn you, if He is all forgiving and all loving?

Question

It doesn't make any sense. How can God damn you to hell and at the same time be all forgiving and all loving?
Especialy if Jesus died for all our past, present and future sins. Than we have nothing to worry about when sinning, right?

How can i damn myself? Can i steal to feed my starving family, or am i damning myself. Honer thy parents, what if they are not honerable?

Wow. Does anyone have anything to say without shoving the bible down my throat. Tell me your truth, not a scripture someone else wrote.

Answer 1

When the prodigal son went to another country, he rejected his fathers love and mercy. When he returned home, he went humbly ready to be a servant.

The question isn't will Father forgive you, it's why are you slopping the pigs?

Answer 2

You actually damn yourself. Hell is an absance from God. The only unpardenable sin is denying God. The bible says that through Jesus Christ, All may be saved by acknowleging our sin and asking Chriist's forgiveness. If we sin again, we need to ask forgiveness for that sin and refrane from further sinning. Just because we have been forgiven our sins, doesn't mean we can knowingly do sin again.

Answer 3

Its not the phrase that dosent make sense, but the actual person that said it. How can A person tell God to Dam a person? In the bible God did smite but It was only his will. Not any persons will. I see your point though, how can god be all loving and caring and at the same time be able to cast one of his own created beings to the lake of fire?. Ma by the fact that he knows what we really want in our harts and he sees that we really want to be away from him; (like satin) and casts people to hell.

Good question. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

If you really understood and believed that God is all-forgiving and all-loving, why would you worry about the threat about an imaginary hell announced by mouths which have no relation to God?
Please seek more knowledge of the One True God directly through the Sacred Sriptures revealed by His divine Messengers in order that you can be fully assured, fully happy and fully useful to yourself and to other people.
Pray for your success.

Answer 5

This has been answered so many times.

God does not damn us. We choose which way we want to go.

We can accept salvation and forgiveness or we can reject it.

I love and forgive my children of all things, but I also know that if they choose to reject God, there is nothing I can do about it.

God does the very same thing. He allows us to decide if we will accept or reject him.

As for the sinning part. Once you have accepted him for real in your heart, you no longer want to sin, you will sin, but you will not want to. You will work toward not sinning and take great joy when you resist a temptation to sin.

So, yes, if you sin and have no worries about it, you have not yet accepted true forgiveness and salvation.

Answer 6

Behold, now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation.

You have opportunity now to escape the judgement of hell.

You can be saved eternally, by accepting Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord. By being forgiven by God and cleansed from all unrighteousness and living your life for Him, instead of pleasing your self, you can have the assurance of a place in Heaven.

Answer 7

I don't think God does damn you. I think people damn themselves, and you can see it in this world.

It is when people become so self-involved that they close themselves off to everything else that they are damned. I don't that has to rely on strictly religious contexts either.

An interesting view on it can be found in "The Great Divorce" by C.S. Lewis. It's a very short read, but an interesting mental excercise.

Answer 8

Many Christian preachers are hypocrites, they distort the teachings of the Bible, by saying that "Jesus died for all our past, present and future sins.", in order to win converts/donations.

If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away! It is better to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into hell.
Matthew 5:29

If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away! It is better to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into hell.
Matthew 5:30

If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.
Mark 9:45

May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked vanish! Praise the Lord, O my soul! Praise the Lord!
Psalms 104:35

My child, if sinners try to entice you, do not consent!
Proverbs 1:10

Calamity pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.
Proverbs 13:21

All rebellious sinners will be shattered, those who abandon the Lord will perish.
Isaiah 1:28

Look, the Lord’s day of judgment is coming; it is a day of cruelty and savage, raging anger, destroying the earth and annihilating its sinners.
Isaiah 13:9

Someday these sinners will cry to the Lord for help, but he will not answer them. He will hide his face from them at that time, because they have done such wicked deeds.”
Micah 3:4

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is devout and does his will, God listens to him.

Answer 9

Oh but you do damn yourself if as the word says in 2 Thessalonians,2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth,but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
It is us that damn ourselves not God.

Answer 10

First of all, Jesus died on the cross so he can open the gate to heaven. Second of all, God IS forgiving. If you want him to forgive you, you have to be sorry for your sins, and CONFESS. If not, you are pretty much damned. So he IS all forgiving and loving, because he will always forgive if you ask him.
