First of all, it is really hard to believe that He would let all the suffering and injustice happen on earth. Doesn't the Bible portray Him as being able to perform devine intervention? Why doesn't He intervine before thousands of innocent people die in 11/9? I also don't see the point where Christians say that He decided it was their time to die, but in reality, it was the terrorists who took their lives. Are the terrorists God's servants who acted on His order then? It also doesn't make much sense that God would rather judge people after they die rather then judge them when they're still alive. It is also hard to believe that some Being that is able to create the universe is said to send souls to hell to be tortured for eternity if we don't worship Him. Is God the sadistic dictator of heaven? Also, if God created the universe, then who created God?

I call myself a Christian. I go to Church and try to be a good person. Sometimes though, when I see all the hurt in the world I wonder why God allows it.
If God is so great, why does he allow cancer to the young, why does he allow all the religious killing in the world, why does he allow good people to live in utter poverty, why did he allow the Jewish Holocaust?
I could go on and on with my questions and I worry that I have these questions. Sometimes I think that I'm a bad Christian to have such thoughts. Why does God give me free will to think and my thinking challenges his goodness. Why is God so cruel to innocent people?
Yes I believe that God's will is beyond our comprehension, but at the same time, my logical mind tells me that if he is so great, whey is he so mean?
Oh my, I'm going to hell!!! That is, if there is a hell.

I think one of the most difficult things to accept is that all we need to do is believe and accept that Christ died to save us from our sins in order to be saved. People are more accepting of being told if you perform a certain act or pray a certain prayer that you can enter Heaven.

I see him in my prayers spiritually, senses, feeling.... is knowing.
One reason God doesn't show himself, is that we will die, his Glory is to much, since our bodies have blood in it, we automatically hit the ground, we get weak, and lose all strength. That's one reason why God came to earth in Body, Jesus.
I believe everything about God, I am open, and understanding.
I know more about God than most people can comprehend, because of the openness, and take the time for him to work in me....... so much to learn about the oracles of God.

I have a really hard time believing that a being so powerful that he can create an entire universe somehow demands that I worship him. If I don't, he condemns me to eternal hellfire. Something that powerful, that petty? Makes no sense, can't be. Such a being does not exist.

"but" when we meet him face to face" we can ask him why pain and disses and killings were allowed, or any difficulties way may indoor here.

I can honestly say that there is nothing difficult about believing in God, for me it is easy, natural, and without conflict.
