Is God really as kind as he is supposed to be?

Question

1. If God was kind and all loving, why does he send people who don't believe in him to hell? The sounds kinda sociopathic to me.

2. God washed away all the non believers in Noah's flood. Real nice man, but maybe God just had homocidal tendencies that day?

3. God gives Adam and Eve, NO REASON for not eating the forbidden fruit, and when they do, he rejects them.

4. If God is kind and all-loving, why did he not intervene when the Hiroshima bomb was dropped, the planes were heading towards the World Trade Center or Hilter started his regime?

5. Why doesn't God answer my prayers? Even completely unselfish prayers, such as "Dear Heavenly father, please, for their own health and sake and for the love of Jesus, please cure all diseases on the planet tonight. Amen"

In Mark 11 verse 24 Jesus says: "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

I don't think God is all-loving, given this.

Answer 1

makes it kind of easy to not believe in god at all. ive never gotten a thing i asked for in prayer.lol

Answer 2

Well God created man to have Free will then he left them to their own devices. God has nothing to do with who goes to hell, there are rules set and if they are broken by you, you taste the rath of your own consequences.

2. God said that he would never do that ever again, the flood that is

3. He told adam and eve not to Eat the fruit isn't that reason enough?

4. That was man agian, freewill means man can bomb man and god will not intervene on freewill

5. God does not answer big Prayors if just one person asked upon them, if the whole entire world was crying in agony please dear god save us then there would be a change, and actually thats what happens in the story of Judgement day the second comming of Christ.

And you cannot believe and depend on all you read in the bible as direct quotes, things have so many differnt meanings its terrable, Basically prayer is met to help you through the day it isn't a wish you want to come true. I hope this helps

Answer 3

1. God sends people who don't believe in him to hell because they have outwardly denied him, the one who made them and gave them everything they have. He gave them a choice.

2. God washed away all the people because they had all becomed corrupted (Except for Noah and his family)

3. God told them not to eat it. Who needs a reason? They knew he was their maker and master, so it doesn't matter. When a dog runs in the street, you tell them not to, but you don't explain to them why they shouldn't. It's for their own good though.

4. God didn't intervene because he never promised to make everything happy and perfect for everyone, and because the world is a perpetually sinful place. It is going to get a hell of alot worse before the end comes, by the way.

5. God answers ALL prayers of someone who has true faith in him. And someone who has true faith in him knows better than to ask God to cure every disease here. They know that diseases are here because it is part of God's plan.

Duh.

Have you ever read the Bible, or do you just pick and choose what sounds good to you?

Answer 4

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

There's your answer, I think. God isn't out to please people who don't want his help. He's not dumb.

1, 2, and 3 are all Bible based. Believe or don't. If you believe what was written there, why wouldn't you believe the explainations written for why God did those things?

As for 4 and 5, maybe God wants people he's chosen with him so he lets their bodies die. The rapture stories are bizarre chronicles, indeed. What if God were plucking people from the Earth little by little because he exists outside of time and in fact the Rapture has already begun?

Answer 5

Uh dude, God sent His only Son down to earth to be beaten, bloodied, and battered to within an inch of His life. After that they murdered Him by crucifying Him on a tree. All for YOU. For your sins, not His, because He was sinless. He was the lamb led to the slaughter, because He is all-loving. His blood was shed so you might have life, if you believe. What He did was the kindest, most loving act I can even fathom. He also has an unequaled wrath that we as humans cannot even comprehend. That is called being Just. You can't pigeon-hole Him into just one category, like loving, kind, etc because He is those things, but much more too. All things are done for His glory and His glory alone. Because that is right and just. He's jealous like that, wouldn't you be too.

Answer 6

just to tell you im a very religios man.

also in the bible it says "do not test the lord your god"
obviouslly you are doing that to see what happens.

you arent blieving enough too
you question the lord our god and challenge him..

and you say nothing what soever about jesus' blood
that was the core thing that clensed our souls

and try with small prayers next time and at least 5x a day


the lord is slow to anger and all loving.

it wasnt too late for the people in noahs era to turn back

if someone klled your family and raped yor parents woudlnt you feel angered?
that is how the lord felt
he regretted puttin breath into adam

also the lord did not regect adam

the devil came in a form to destroy gods pride(man)
but he failed to do so

now if you dont stop questioning god you will be destroyed in hell for an eternity.

convert while its not too late.

Answer 7

1. He gives them free will, but people should believe in him, they all have chances.
2. They had chances as well to go aboard Noah's ship but they didn't believe him, and mocked him.
3. He doesn't need any reason, it was just themselves getting tempted into doing so, which created sin.
4. It's not his job to intervene, He knows this world is sinful, it's the price we pay for sinning not given by him but we do it to ourselves.
5. Who says he doesn't answer your prayers? It's all in His time.

KEYWORD: WILL in the Bible verse.

Answer 8

It seems as though your understanding of God is wrong.

Who are we to question the Creator? Read the Old Testament...he is a very jealous God and those who do not submit to Him will be in hell for eternity. Why doesn't he answer your prayers? Are you a Christian? Have you prayed for Jesus to enter your heart? It says in the bible "No man will come to know the Father until they accept me". Having faith in Christ will definitely help you with praying to God. We always want God to answer our prayers immediately and according to out timeline...not His. He will answer prayers how He deems necessary.

Answer 9

The imperfection God gave guy develop into loose will, yet he said this as an staggering adequate present able to giving extra happiness than he might want to ever provide in the international. "easily the all-wise and omnipotent God might want to have effortless that it would want to were better to bare his acceptable will on to each and every human beings, fairly than to enable it to be debased and perverted by employing the imperfect language and botched interpretations of guy." perhaps he does? some declare to envision with God, perhaps it really is God telling them what they must trust? The Bible is enigmatic because all of us won't be able to trust an same issues; we are diverse those with diverse needs. @ Aaron: Please, provide examples. i imagine i recognize what you're conversing about, God "controls" human beings to handbook them on the right direction. He in a lot of circumstances in basic terms does that to those who're doing incorrect, unknowingly.

Answer 10

The bible says that God is a jealous God. That's not someone I want to be associated with, God should be above such pettiness.
