A question for all beliefs?

Question

God loves each and everyone of us and some of us can come to him easyier then others, and others have to go through tough life experieces until they realize there is a God that is so loving and aways there for us. God will never let us down and he or she will continue to love us through or mistakes and be proud when we fix our mistakes and be even more proud when we changes our lives completely around in a more Godly way. God love us, and we need bad things happening on the earth because this makes us turn to God when we want feel better and also it teaches others God followers to grab those who need help and help them at all cost. God is a God of love and smiles down on the accomplishments we make and waits patiently to realize the mistake we made and how to go about correcting them. What do you think? Please no insults. I love God

Answer 1

I have to agree with you. However I also believe the Goddess is equally loving. I believe they both will help guide us if we look in the right places for the signs. We can't sit back and say ok Gods take over. We must attempt to make our lives better by treating each other with the same love they show us. as well as much more! BB Sdw

Answer 2

Even the materialists cannot deny that we have a dual core, both material and spiritual. Oftentimes we see the argument from naturalism that animals act this way or that and so we should have no aversion to that kind of activity. Fortunately, we have also been given the gift of refection by which we can recognize that naturalism doesn't work out all that well for humans.
Hence the purpose of our ability to look at ourselves is a means to an end; God wants us to look at our activities and be ashamed of those which are wrong. people like to split legalistic hairs, but generally we know when we do that which is wrong. In fact it becomes easier to do wrong the more we do it. Adam and Eve weren't kicked out of the garden because they sinned, but for denying that what they knew to be a sin.
We don't stop sinning, but we needn't run from that. We need to come to Him as our Father when we sin. He forgives it all.

Answer 3

I think you made a very good assessment of the situation up to this point but I also think you must realize that God will not tolerate wickedness (disobedience) forever. At some point, he will choose to release those who love him and want to live peacefully and obediently from the violence and persecution and chaos. He will first give everyone a more than fair chance to come to him but just as in Noah's day, it will eventually end. Those who chose to disobey will mercifully just fall asleep in death forever. Those who have chosen to obey will begin 1,000 years of clean up and growing to perfection--welcoming back those who have died and teaching them.

Answer 4

God loves each and every one of us regardless or race, creed or religion. He has ministers of the gospel in every corner of the earth trying to reach those lost for Him. The Bible says we will always have persecution. It's what grows our character. Of course God wants us to turn to Him during those times and get our strength from Him to carry us through. When we try to go through those times alone is when we feel like we can't make it. God lets us make our own mistakes but He expects us to learn from those mistakes and not keeping making the same one over and over. That is disappointing to Him. Just like a human father of course He is happy with our accomplishments. Regardless of the circumstances His mercy is boundless and He will always forgive. Life is just much harder when we refuse to learn from our mistakes. I think God gets frustrated when we keep trying to do things on our own and how WE want them done but since we have free will He has to let us muster through without His help if we so choose or with His help if we are wise enough to call on Him.

Answer 5

I agree with you, God sacrificed his own son so we can have a future. It's like sacrificing your own kid so dogs or cats of the world can be saved. I'm writing this with the assumption that you are aware of the ransom sacrifice.

But there is also an accountability that you have to do your part. I don't believe that everyone will make it.

Are there scriptures that definitely show that some will never be saved?

2 Thess. 1:9, RS: “They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.” (Italics added.)

Rev. 21:8, RS: “As for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.”

Matt. 7:13, 14, RS: “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”

Once a person is saved, is he always saved?

Jude 5, RS: “I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” (Italics added.)

Matt. 24:13, RS: “He who endures to the end will be saved.” (So a person’s final salvation is not determined at the moment that he begins to put faith in Jesus.)

Phil. 2:12, RS: “As you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (This was addressed to “the saints,” or holy ones, at Philippi, as stated in Philippians 1:1. Paul urged them not to be overly confident but to realize that their final salvation was not yet assured.)

Heb. 10:26, 27, RS: “If we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.” (Thus the Bible does not go along with the idea that no matter what sins a person may commit after he is “saved” he will not lose his salvation. It encourages faithfulness. See also Hebrews 6:4-6, where it is shown that even a person anointed with holy spirit can lose his hope of salvation.)

Answer 6

I don't agree with "we need bad things happening on the earth because this makes us turn to God when we want feel better". I refuse to follow a god that takes that sort of approach.

Answer 7

i don't think bad things happen here on earth because it makes us come to Him. bad things happen because of sin, and not necessarily sin in our own lives , for example natural disasters happen and sometimes people suffer. God wants a relationship with Him because He loves us. I am sure He is delighted when we choose Him over the things of this world. I know He is delighted when we choose a life that glorifies Him instead of one that delights in our own desires. Because of sin, we will mess up. God wants us to acknowledge our sin and ask Him for forgiveness. The only way to correct our mistakes is through Christ. We can't do it on our own.

Answer 8

you're right and I love god too but it doesnt necessary a need to be in tough times to turn to God.I know this happened to some but not all.I think you wanted to say this to non believers to let them know this fact.by the way as you said God is patient and I hope all believe in the power of God that affects their lives .
God bless you.

Answer 9

The bible teaches that we cannot do anything aside from abiding in Jesus Christ. You make God sound like He sits there doing nothing while His children try to figure out how to make their lives work. The truth is...when we come to the end of our own strength, that is when Jesus Christ steps in, if we ask Him. It is through Christ alone that we can find mercy at the throne of grace. I appreciate your encouragement that we help each other....but it isn't about some generic "path" to God; there is one way to God, by His son.

Answer 10

Its not that we need bad things on earth to happen to us to turn to God

No one needs bad things to happen, Its just the reality of what happens when we do turn from God

God is Love yet God has also turned his face and is angered
and I also believe he is angered at the ones he loves when they don't stand up on his side

So many Christians know what is right but yet the don't stand up for God and show their faith. Satan has so many Christians so caught up in the things and their life in this world that they have lost their tenacity to stand up for the right things of God. They go to church and their church parties and yet they forget the heart and soul of what Jesus did for us on the cross.

How can Christians live with the decline of America and aborting babies?
How can Christians send their kids to public school and let their little ears be stuffed with evolution lies?
How can Christians sit back and not stand up against Gay marriage and the perversion of Gods holiest unity between a man and a woman?
Why do we allow pornography exist right in the same magazine rack where little kids are at eye level with it?

When I watch TV and see a Billy Graham crusade I think to myself as many people that are at one of his crusades if all those people in one stadium were to unite and together speak out against the crimes against our God our country would stand back two steps and evaluate whats going on. Yet we only have a handful of true strong Christians doing it and no one is uniting.

WHY

Because we are to caught up in the prosperity message

Christan TV makes me sick . All you here is "give to this ministry and God will give you a car" So I can now see why Christians are loosing their stand. Many of our Christians leaders have taken a different role of leadership. One that doesn't cause opposition, but one that is more excepted to the So called American dream-

More 9/11 days are ahead unless those who have accepted Jesus start taking up their cross and truly following his way
and not just our pleasures!
AMEN

and I hope your not a Jehova Witness because they are an occult
