If god can do anything?

Question

why cant he cleanse the bad souls so nobody goes to hell? oh and for the people who say he doesnt want to, that means he does want people to go to hell so he doesnt love everybody

Answer 1

Because when god makes a promise, he is faithful.
And he said do this or else. That's it, period.

Answer 2

No, God won't do it because he wants an voluntary love. That's y u have free will that can be the best or worst thing human beings have. Nobody goes to heaven accidently and nobody goes to hell accidently it is a choice.
If God would take our free will, we would be like robot. Would u want to be like a robot? People would hate God much more if they find out that God is making them do what they don't want to do.

Answer 3

Consider Karma and Reincarnation.

Human suffering is one of "religion's" most compelling mysteries: Why do the innocent suffer? Why does God permit evil? Is God helpless to act or does he choose not to? And if He chooses not to act, does that mean he is cruel? Or merely indifferent?

Karma and reincarnation is a universal law, which takes the problem out of God's court and places it firmly in our own. We can blame neither God nor a "devil." Nothing happens to us by the whim of some outside agency: we ourselves are responsible for what life brings us; all of us are reaping the results of our own previous actions in this life or in previous lives. The word "karma" comes from the Sanskrit verb kri, to do. Although karma means action, it also means the result of action. Whatever acts we have performed and whatever thoughts we have thought have created an impression, both in our minds and in the universe around us. The universe gives back to us what we have given to it: "As ye sow, so shall ye reap" as Christ said. Good actions and thoughts create good effects, bad ones create bad effects.

When a person dies, the only "death" is that of the physical body. The mind, which contains a person's mental impressions, continues after the body's death. When the person is reborn, the "birth" is of a new physical body accompanied by the old mind with the impressions or "grooves" from previous lives. When the environment becomes conducive, these samskaras again reassert themselves in the new life.

Thankfully, this process doesn't go on eternally. When we attain God-realization or Self-realization, the law of karma is transcended, the Self gives up its identification with the body and mind, and regains its native freedom, perfection and bliss.

NO ONE IS GOING TO HELL!

Answer 4

Well, to think of God in human terms with human ideals is sorts moot, ya think? I mean, if God is all powerful and timeless then it would stand to reason that humans as creatures of time cannot begin to understand the mind of a timeless entity. There isn't priest, shaman, ect.. that can answer your question correctly because the answer doesn't exist. Even the faithful can only comprehend the fact that they cannot possible comprehend the mind of God. Also we cannot truly understand timelessness. It is impossible for us.

Time to eat. Time for bed. What time is it? Springtime. How old are you?

Time is relevant so a timeless being is beyond our grasp.

Answer 5

You seem interesting. You should research The Problem of Evil, and do some research on arguments for and against the existance of God. If you will IM with me, I will speak with you at length about my reasons for being an atheist. TO EVERYONE ELSE: If anyone IM's me trying to save me or "bring me to God," you will be blocked immediately.

I welcome you to come to me with any such inquiries.

Oh yeah - And you free will lovers - Sorry, but according to ideology behind God, there is no free will, nor can there ever be. If you like, you can IM me about that as well.

Answer 6

To the previous answers, I understand about the free will thing and this question isn't about us loving God, it's about her loving us.

If she loves us so, how can she let us go to Hell?

If the only thing your child ever did wrong was not to love you (good in all other areas) would you not love your child? Is your love for your child based on his/her love for you? How shallow!

And to punish a child for not loving you with HELL... that is overkill. I might write my child out of the will and lot let them into heaven, but to further punish him by sending him to hell, that's just cruel!

Answer 7

Because mind is of the world. As long as you are a slave of your mind, God will not be known to you. And what is not known is considered unknown.

Heaven and Hell are right here. Do good and your emotions will keep you happy which is Heavenly. Do Evil and your emotions will keep you despondent and that is HELL!

Answer 8

First of all, there is no hell. In my opinion, dark souls choose not to cross over. They can also choose to go to the light.

The whole concept of a God that is capable of sentencing us to an eternity in hell is totally absurd. What amazes me everyday is how can any intelligent person think that way? It makes no sense!

Answer 9

Because God said that people had to make sacrifices for sin. He cant change his mind or else he wouldn't be a god as gods don't make mistakes. Even though his rule was a little silly now he has to stick with it. Kind of like Bush and the Iraq thing.

Answer 10

Lol, I just asked the same question except I worded it different. I just want to see what people say but personally I believe that hell does not exist and that we have unlimited chances to reach enlightenment.

Answer 11

God wills that no one should parish. If He cleansed all souls from wickedness it would be as if we're all robots. There's no sincere love within a robot.
