If God is the father of creation, should he be held accountable for neglect for the suffering that millions...

Question

of his children have suffered through out history and currently?

I asked something like this once before and the response I got was if you feel bad about the starving people in the world then feed them and if you seek to end poverty then show charity.

However, if a mother gives birth to a baby and then leaves the baby to fend for itself even though the mother has the ability to feed the baby and shelter the baby, does that make it my fault that the mother did that and my responsibility that the mother did that?Sure I could take the baby in and so forth.But what if it was a million mothers who gave birth to a million babys.Am I still suppose to take them all in?Or is there a point where it's the mothers responsiblity and not mine?

I put forth that God is a neglectful parent and should be held accountable.

Agreed?

Answer 1

i would have to say all you christians who say that "god gives freewill to everyone"tha you are wrong.
there have been millions of people who have died without being given any chance to make any freewill decisions at all..
look at all the little children who where murdered in hitlers death camps .
there where millions of children who died in those death camps without being able to exersize any freewill decisions at all.
that just proves what a a lie your bible IS!
and the ironic thing about it was that they where gods chosen people ,what a joke.lol

Answer 2

I disagree. I say this because God created human beings with free will. This means every person has the right to choose their path, and sometimes, more often than not, this affects generations to come. God doesn't desire that any perish, but that all could have everlasting life. He loved the world so much that He chose to allow His son to come to earth, be beaten beyond recognition, carry His cross up a hill, get spit on, mock, nailed to a cross, then God allowed Jesus to take on the sins of the whole world, imagine having to endure that and then God turned away from Jesus because of His uncleanliness. But His whole life He remained sinless so that you and I and the world could have peace, joy, and life everlasting. So no, I don't think God is a neglectful parent, He did much more for me than my earthly parents ever did or will.

Answer 3

I believe that God wants us to care for others. He wants us to put others needs before our own. If everyone has the same attitude that it's someone Else's problem, many more people would perish. We have enough food to feed the world 10 times over so God did not give us a shortage, He wants to see us work together to meet the needs of others, when we do this, we are working out God's plan on this earth.
Sometimes my children do not understand my intentions. When they are not getting along I put them together and give them a project to do together were they need to depend on the others help to accomplish it. They think I'm just being mean. But I have greater intentions that they can not understand in mind.

Answer 4

Sometimes I have the same thoughts ... If God loves us all so much, why do these awful things happen? But other times, I see that we bring this misery upon ourselves, and God gave us free will. He gave us the right to live as we choose. We can serve Him or choose not to. We can make good choices or bad. God has put the responsiblity into our hands. Sometimes we screw up royally, and sometimes change things for the better

Answer 5

if you read genisis you would have noted that adam was very old when he finally got kicked out of his fathers garden
hardly the act of a neglectfull parent.
adam had freewill he knew the rules of his fathers house ,a guest even a son must follow rules
god ,only god can make a seed ,if science says it can or that you can you are deluding ,only by gods will has every seed that ever grown been made to grow
god dosnt get upset about what you accuse but those who love god know god provides
man/men is soon to realise that god makes food to grow you can see the signs ,by studying the weather ,again some will say why is god punishing us forgetting of ther terminator genes clever science of man has invented and the destruction and extinctions of life men have overseen
global warming is mans fruit ,just as a man goes to jail for crime thus also dodnt his father
god causes all good ,of mans freewill as heir of god man cause all evil
man has squandered his inheritance of willfilled ignorance to the duties the man beast needed to give back ,yet refused to do even now when the signs are clear.
sure men have suffered but that sufferance was of others of man
have you even taken but one in ,of those millions you refuse ,and yet you supose to refuse them all ,as if you had taken in any.

We're not babies. We are intelligent creatures with free will. Man chose to take Satan's side in the issue of universal sovreignty (God's right to rule us). God is allowing disobedient humans (and the Devil) some time to prove if they're right. The fact that their attempts at self-rule are so abysmal is not God's fault. This attitude of 'I'm not responsible for my choices' is a huge problem in the world today. Take responsibility for yourself and what you do with your life. Don't blame God or anyone else.

Answer 7

If Bill Gates is the father of the modern PC, should he be held accountable for computer virii? Of course not! He made the PC... idiots made the virii.

If God just wiped out every one who doesn't do His will, He would be the biggest bully in the universe, now wouldn't He? He created everything, sure... but He also gave us free will. We're free to rape, kill and destroy. BUT - we're all going to have to account for what we do, and (might I add) we all have to accept the consequences for our actions, while we're here. Double jepardy? Maybe... but I didn't make the rules. He did, and we have no choice but to live within them.

Answer 8

The problem isn't that you've likened God to a parent. The problem is that you've likened us to a baby, who can't fend for himself to a reasonable degree. As a parent who loves his kids, I let them suffer the natural consequences of their choices often to teach them responsibility. What an aweful picture of a father you've drawn to compare to God! Am I supposed to follow my kids around all day being obsessed with their perfect safety and happiness? Is that your idea of a good God? Dang!

Answer 9

The judicial gadget ahs no longer something to do with God. And we don't think in God becasue we don't choose for to be held responsible, it extremely is using fact we don't think. And if God had any say interior the judicial gadget, why are all of those rapists and murderers getting out of penitentiary just to do it back??

Answer 10

If God is love, why does he permit wickedness?

GOD does permit wickedness, and millions on earth willfully make a practice of it. For instance, they declare wars, drop bombs on children, scorch the earth, and cause famines. Millions smoke and get lung cancer, practice adultery and get sexually transmitted diseases, use alcohol to excess and get cirrhosis of the liver, and so on. Such people do not truly want all wickedness stopped. They only want the penalties for it eliminated. When they reap what they have sown, they cry out, "Why me?" And they blame God, as Proverbs 19:3 says: "A man's own folly wrecks his life, and then he bears a grudge against the LORD." (The New English Bible) And if God stopped their evildoing, they would protest their loss of freedom to do it!

Jehovah's main reason for permitting evil is to answer Satan's challenge. Satan the Devil said that God could not put men on earth who would be true to Him under test. (Job 1:6-12; 2:1-10) Jehovah allows Satan to remain to have opportunity to prove his challenge. (Exodus 9:16) Satan continues to bring woes now, to turn men against God, as he tries to prove his challenge. (Revelation 12:12) However, Job kept integrity. So did Jesus. True Christians do now.-Job 27:5; 31:6; Matthew 4:1-11; 1 Peter 1:6, 7.

Answer 11

I disagree with you wholeheartedly to say the least. When people are breaking God's commandments, they basically have a "I do whatever I want attitude/ I don't need God" and then when the consequences of sin emerge they harden further instead of turning to God. God wants you and me to live life fully and abundantly. We can only do that by trusting in Jesus Christ our Lord. The world is the way it is because it has rejected Christ.
