i am so confused.. and upset....?

Question

why have so many people started to doubt their trust in god when he has given people thier very lives? why do people think there is no heaven or hell? this does not make sense to me.. and it bothers me.. A LOT!! jesus was living proof.. reguardless if it was 2000 years ago.. he could come back tomorrow!!

Answer 1

Don't ever give up because there's so many unbelievers, and don't be confused. God is almighty real and truly very much alive.

Some of these people are full of hate, for some their time has not come yet.

I wish everyone could have experienced some of what I have, perhaps than they would believe, they don't put all their trust in God, that's why he doesn't work in their life, he does give some personal proof, if you show him that you don't give up.
This all bothers me too, but there is only so much we are able to do.
God bless you!

Answer 2

I know what you are saying, but don’t put this burden on your shoulders, and be at peace knowing that God’s plan is in motion and never out of control (even though to human sense things don’t make sense to us all the time). Share what you have with the ones you love. Remember, a hardened heart can’t understand nor is it interested in the sacrifice that was made 2000 years ago.

Answer 3

Because he doesn't exist, it's hard to maintain a fiction for so long. Think of these things:

* For thousands of years, man has had a lifespan of 30-40 years. 100 years ago in the US, 50% of children died before age 1. Modern medicine has greatly reduced this. During eras in western history when the catholic church was in charge and belief in god and church attendance was required, this did not change. So prayer seems not to have been the answer.
* The history of religions and gods seems to show that man has no consistent image or view of what god is or does.
* The bible is open enough to interpretation that if you walked into a church and asked 3 people questions about the bible or god's will, you would get probably 8 different answers.
* People kill each other in god's name every day and he apparently does nothing to stop it.
* 50% of conceptions do not result in birth
* 1 in 8 pregnancies result in twins and one twin is eventually reabsorbed.
* Children are born with no brains, with no limbs, retarded, blind.
* Children go blind from parasites every day, children suffer asthma, and other diseases

Humans by Era Average Lifespan (years)
Neanderthal 20 (Neanderthal is actually a different species from modern humans but is still considered to be a hominid)
Upper Paleolithic 33 (33 at birth; upon reaching age 15 it's 54)
Neolithic 20
Bronze Age 18
Classical Greece 28
Classical Rome 28
Medieval Britain 33
End of 19th Century 37
Early 20th Century 50
Current 80
Present day "non-civilized"

Religion has nothing to with with your quality of life except that being religious in general may give you peace.

Answer 4

So many people don't believe in Jesus or God. Thats just a fact that alot of Christians have to accept. Not everyone can believe in something like that. I don't. And Jesus was a man, there is no proof of anything that he did. No one can prove that he granted miracles. Thats why you have to have Faith in him, faith is believing in something that no one can prove or see. And even by your own religion you cannot judge those who do not believe nor can you make them believe. Please dont be upset for this, have your own faith in god and jesus, and let others have theirs. Blessed be.

Answer 5

Don't be confused or upset. As long as there is freedom of thought and belief, there will be people who are non believers and people who are. The people who do not believe in God or heaven and hell are free to believe that way. Just find your own path and God takes care of the rest.

Answer 6

Surround yourself with people and friends that think like you do. Not everyone believes in God and you can't force them to all you can do is keep your beliefs strong and the best way to do that is just what I said above. Some people have strong beliefs in religion but may not want to be vocal about it. I'm happy for you that you have great faith in God keep up the good work. But allow others to have their own beliefs.

Answer 7

Because all men have a sin nature and are all sinners. If they have rejected what the Lord Jesus Christ done on the cross then they are sending them self to hell. They have changed the truth of God into a lie. Romans 1: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 5: 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Answer 8

you keep believing the way you feel in your own heart is the right way. remember everyone has free will to believe or not believe as they see fit. one has the right to believe as long as one does not interfere with the free will and rights of others or as long as the laws rules and mores of the Country one resides in are not broken. GOD is just to big to be in only one place. one can get to their destination by many paths and ways such as walking, a bike, a motorcycle, a train, a plane, a bus, etc. each mode of transportation will get one to the same destination only in a different way. getting there is the important thing -- not how.

Answer 9

Let not your heart be troubled..you believe in God...you believe in Jesus as well...

The Bible warns us that these types of things will happen. There will be a great falling away..people will be lovers of themselves rather than lovers of God. But God tells us that we are to look up and we are to be encouraged, for our redemption draws near. Reach out to those that you can with the love of Jesus..and make ready yourself, for our King is about to split those eastern clouds and we'll all go home.

Answer 10

Dont be conused and upset. There is no compulsion in religion
(QURAN). Be them on thier religion but stand firm on your faith(QURAN). Freind all the prophets are great examples Moses,Jesus,Adam,Abrahim and Mohammed. If people dont seek knowledge its not your fault. God doesnt make us to wander in this world. We have limited time.
