please read , question inside?

Question

I would like to first say I do believe in the existence of a higher power, something that has created us, I question religions and interpretations of the bible. Those people that tell me because of my different belief system I will end burning in hell for the eternity ,that is the biggest insult. What makes me really upset is when they talk about choice,number one I did not chose to be born, I did not chose life,life was given to me, if I was not born in the fist place I would have to hear about all this nonsense of being punished just because my mind set is different than theirs. I have already being punished, I was born with a genetic deformity, who created me? I do not care about life, life might be precious to you , it is not to me. So I am suffering already and I am supposed to be forced to believe in the God of the bible so he will not throw me in the lake of fire, how did I make a choice to be born? how did I make a choice to be born with a disease? I did I make a choice to be born in the family I was born? easy for the hypocrites to say I chose LORD as my savior the were not confronted with the challenges I HAVE BEING CONFRONTED WITH, if he your GOD did not put me in this earth in the first place I would NOT have to be tormented by the suffering caused by my disease and by the insults coming from those who tell me , with threats I deserve to go to hell just because I DO NOT BELIVE WHAT THEY DO. I 'd rather keep a different idea of God not the one that you present to me with your religion and with your interpretation of the Bible , that belief that I hold is the one that keeps me going in my life. You should be ashamed of yourselves to be preaching psychologically harmful things and keep saying but that GOD that said so, it is YOU THAT SAID SO not GOD.

to magic kitty,
I PITY PEOPLE LIKE YOU, you are the most hypocritical of all, how would you react if you had a child and he was born with a deformity , would you tell him" GO GET COUNSELING,you have some anger issues you know, how lower can you get?

Answer 1

Christianity is not the only way. To think so is arrogant beyond mere words to describe. But to address your question regarding the circumstances of your birth, there are many spiritual paths that have a far better grasp of this issue. Buddhism being one of many.

Might I suggest that you take a look elsewhere? You might be startled and amazed by the answers and guidance you can receive from other spiritual paths that understand the fundamentals and mechanics of reincarnation. From that point, you could well handle your personal challenges better and hopefully live a more positive life. And finally...

Whatever belief system you have that keeps you going under what I can see must be difficult circumstances, Bravo! Go about your business and life as you see fit and let the fundies stew in their own juices. It is your life, no matter how it happened, so enjoy it to the best of your ability.

Answer 2

Dear friend... note I consider you a friend as far as I have read your message and it sounds very honest and soulhearted.
I cannot more than agree with 90% of what you feel and express here.
The other 10% is base as my personal investigation of this God that you mention, and I would like to have this opportunity to share with you some pointers that I myself have found:
1. There is NO BURNING HELL, that is a lie and is not base on the Bible at all. Once the person (everyone good and bad) dies, his soul dies as stated in Eze. 18:4. No interpretation needed as is simply says "the soul dies"
2. God didn´t put you neither NOBODY else here... but only Adam and centuries later Jesus. That is what the Bible really teaches... ALL OF US are only here because our parents brought us, there is no PERSONAL plan or pre-plan from God. The PLAN He has is a GLOBAL for the earth and the Universe, and the person is free to choose if he wants to join it or not... He invites us - meaning there is nothing said on each of us... is our FREE CHOICE. Revelation 22:17
3. The actual world is far from God and so, the consecuences of the willing and personal choice of our ancestors. The fight between good and evil WILL END soon, and all this consecuences will be wiped out as HE himself has promise. Again, no need to interpretation: his promises are very clear and we can see the profecies occurring as we speak. Revelation 21:3,4

Dear friend, I really hope this few lines may have give you some comfort. WE ALL have sufferings and problems these days, what I have found in the Bible and in Jehovah God, is the strenght to keep up. (Romans 8:18 - 22)

Answer 3

I think that if more people were born in the position you were they would understand better. You are right to feel angry, but please don't hate life. There are some really beautiful things about being alive. Knowledge is one of them, i'm not talking about school, I mean genuine human knowledge of life and humanity. You were fortunate to be born with a personal view on life. Your deformity should be a beautiful thing to you, it has given you the mindset to rely on your thoughts and emotions for guidance. I myself am completly non religious, I was born into a life I would sooner like to forget, but i won't let myself, because my past is what created my present, the things i suffered through as a child is what has given me my strength and my courage and by using that I ave gained knowledge about humanity. And even after knowing what I know now about humans I still wouldn't want to die or anything yet. I'm not done. I love being alive right now. I've been there honey, just pay attention to everything around you, it gets better

Answer 4

Hmmm that is kinda rough. I uncover that men may also be complicated mostly. Sometimes you suppose they prefer you while all they quite suppose of you is a well pal. I might say that it is nonetheless too early to peer if he likes you. Maybe you will have to wait. Ask your self those questions: Does he name you at the telephone? Do you speak to him external of tuition? Does he incorporate you into a talk while he is speakme to his neighbors? Does he appear to be further curteous to you and your emotions? If sure is the reply to such a lot of the ones questions then you could have anything there. And if such a lot of or part of the solutions are not any then he most likely simply htinks of you as a pal. But do not be discouraged; friendship builds and so long as you preserve to be your self (and no longer a few boy crazed lunatic) then he might come to be liking you. Hope this helped =]

Answer 5

Sounds like you are mad at God and are not on speaking terms. It's sounds like you are angry at him for giving you the life you have when so many have it so much better and are not deserving of it. It's okay to be angry and hurt and question why me, why did you give me this pain, what did I do to deserve this.

People who shun you and say things like you'll burn for your beliefs are not true believers, they don't understand your grief and don't have the patience to make you understand.
I believe God has a plan for everyone (good or bad) and life is too short to be always angry over something you had no control of (being born ). God waits patiently for you to discover him and when you do the rewards will be great.

Answer 6

I am so sorry that you have experianced such hurt and pain from people that are representing christianity in such a bad way. I want to appologize on their behalf for making you feel in any way less than, despite your infirmaty, but just because you are human and have very reasonable human respones to your particular situation. I would like to set straight that the God of the Bible, is not a condeming God. He wants us to be reconciled with him thats why he sent His Son. He did not come here to tell people that they are going to hell but to show them that He is the way the truth and the life. That all can have life and life more abundant. That does not mean monitarily it means spiritually. He wants to bind up the broken hearted.
See as much as I know how much the exterior hurts its the interior that makes you suffer with pain that makes life unbarable. I should know because I have had two family members that suffered dibilitating diseases that they died from. More than the physical it was the emotional pain that that effected their very soul that hurt them the most. I wish I would have known the Lord then and told them about My Savior that gave me a peace beyond all understanding, despite a life that gave me nothing but pain and heart ache. I know that He wants the same for you. It is hard to phatham I know, but please understand that your life was never intended to be with out joy. He is joy, and love, and all things that are pure. I pray that the Lord show himself to you, all you have to do is invite Him with a willing heart and He will enter in and show you all of who He is. May God bless you and keep you as you seek truth, wisdom, and understanding in the ways of the Lord.

Answer 7

Was there a question?

I'm sorry you are suffering. I don't think you're going to hell, because I don't think there's a hell to go to.

I don't know the details of your suffering, so this next bit may be completely off-base (I apologize if it is). But would it be possible to use your suffering as a motivation to figure out the cause of the suffering and stop it from happening to other people?

You didn't choose your deformity, but you can give other people the choice that you didn't have...

Answer 8

I've often thought about that too.

We never chose to play this game of salvation. We are never given unambiguous proof that there is a god, and that this god wants us to live a certain way. And then, we are punished for ETERNITY in the most suffering existence possible because of a single thought that never needs to be expressed or proven to anyone? How pathetic.

Only a masochistic idiot could stomach such tripe.

Answer 9

I believe that if you can get beyond the pain and anger of your physical burden, you will find that you have a great reason to be here. You can help others through. Its true!
I do not care how you believe, just that you believe. Keep you heart and mind open at all costs and no- YOU ARE NOT BY YOURSELF IN THIS.

Answer 10

Yikes....

Someone is having a bad day...

Listen, it bugs the heck outta me too when I hear empty threats of eternal damnation, and it bugs me even more when I se ethe hypocrisy of His followers.
But you cant let that affect you so much. It is human nature to think you are correct and everyone else is wrong - and when you practice a faith that TELLS YOU youre right and everyone else is destined for a vacation in Hades, you can bet your sweet a** that those people will be the most vocal in telling everyone else how wrong they are and how right the practioner is...

On that note, dont be surprised if one of his followers flags your posting for not containing a question - whenever you post anything negative about their God, they retaliate by reporting you. And since Y!A is run by Christian-sympathetic NAZIS, they will remove your posting....
