Why oh why?

Question

Do unbelievers ask "why would your loving God send us to hell if we do not believe?" If somebody spit on you, mocked you, laughed at you, denied you, abused your name, or your children, would you reach down and give them a hand? And tell the truth.....Besides if you do not believe, why do you care? Do you really think God who is all loving wants to send you to eternal damnation? He gives a free gift, His Son. Accept Him or deny Him, but if you deny Him why question Him? So attack if you will.

Answer 1

I agree with you completely Selar. Its as if you where dieing in the streets and found your way to gods door. Upon seeing you he rushes to you and says here take my hand! But you refuse it and go back into the street. God follows you saying again take my hand and i'll save you but again you refuse and lay down in the street. God stays with you the whole time you lay there saying just accept my hand and you will be saved yet again and again you deny him, finally he gives up and leaves you to yourself in the street. Suddenly though you realize you are dieing and say ok god i'll accept give me your hand but then you realize you waited to late and he already left.

Answer 2

Unbelievers, many times, tend to view God in a human way- using a measure that is used when analyzing other human beings. It would make sense, given the fact that they still have the carnal nature of man. What else can they do?
There is the problem. Until there is recognition of who God really is and responding to the conviction of the Holy Spirit, it is unlikely they would have the ability to understand. Once they take the step of faith and trust in Jesus, then the rest of the Word will make sense. The way I understand them is that they are blind, and as blind people, they view the world as a blind person. I try to see the world as they do,and meet them where they are.

Answer 3

~Muslims believe in ONE GOD, Supreme and Eternal, Infinite and Mighty, Merciful and Compassionate, Creator and Provider. God has neither father nor mother, neither sons nor was He fathered. None equal to Him. He is God of all mankind, not of a special tribe or race.
~Muslims believe that Jesus (called 'Isa in Arabic) was the son of Mary, and was conceived without the intervention of a human father. The Qur'an describes that an angel appeared to Mary, to announce to her the "gift of a holy son" (19:19). She was astonished at the news, and asked: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?" (19:20). When the angel explained to her that she had been chosen for the service of God, and that God had ordained the matter, she devoutly submitted herself to His will.
~However, the Qur'an repeatedly reminds us that Adam, the first human being, was born with neither a human mother nor a human father. Therefore, Jesus' miraculous birth affords him no higher standing or presumed partnership with God. When God ordains a matter, He merely says, "Be" and it is so. "The similitude of Jesus before God is as that of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be!" And he was" (3:59). In Islam, Jesus is regarded as a human prophet and messenger of God, not part of God Himself.

Answer 4

I think your missing the point of the question....

why would an all knowing all seeing god create humans, to be faulty

(he had to have meant to do it cause he's perfect and makes no mistakes)

and then punish them for being faulty....he made them that way.

we make bad choices, we make mistakes...he made us that way, then...damns us for being just the way he made us?!

a silly notion at best.


also could he not see in his endless wisdom this is they way i would have been?

and if that's not what he wanted then would he not have stopped my birth or life?...so i don't poison the minds of others?

and who attacks?...Its the nonbeliever who's under constant judgment, attacks, and violence...most nonbelievers have no driving force to go do something on our own we mostly defend

clearly, i wouldn't expect you to be able to grasp this...i just hope someday you might.

Answer 5

Because people do not want to take responsibility for their own actions. God knew this & that's why He sent His Son to die such a cruel & horrible death. He took the punishment that WE deserved so that we could be with Him. Even though He went to such extremes to prove His love for us & His desire to establish a relationship with us on a personal level those without faith refuse to believe. Since their human nature rules them they also wrongly believe they couldn't possibly "deserve" an eternal death in hell. They want to make the bad choices but refuse to accept the consequences of those bad choices. Typical human nature. Always trying to tell God what is & isn't fair.

Answer 6

You will go to the place "best suited for you", and if an unbeliever is uncomfortable being around saved people for an hour in church on Sunday Mornings, Heaven would be hell for them. So they will go to the place best suited for them.....

Answer 7

I am afraid of going to hell as much as you are afraid of going to Hades. I expect to go to heaven as much as you're expecting to go to Valhalla. We are both atheists, just that I believe in one less god than you do. When you realize why you deny all other gods of other religions, you will know why I deny your god.

Answer 8

If my children mocked me, laughed at me, denied me, and abused my name, I would love them anyways and never give up on them. I'm a much kinder and more moral being than your god and I'm only human.

Answer 10

God doesn't want to send us to hell, but He can't have sin in His presence so if people don't accept his Son as their Savior then they have no one but themselves to blame for going to hell.
