Will God (if exists) take the following factors into consideration when judging a person?

Question

1- The way he has been brought up
2- His genes which affects his personality
3- The circumstances in which he has grown up
4- His past experiences

A person's behaviour and actions are determined by these factors and he can not choose or change them

A believer may say that a sinner should find the right way even if these factors are negative in his life

Then I say:
Why is he in such a disadvantageous situation than the people who has been brought up decently, has good genes, has grown up in decent conditions etc...

Will God (if exists) take these factors into consideration?

Answer 1

I really couldn't answer for God or try to second guess him.
All I can say is you need to ask yourself, why would he?

Answer 2

First of all you are not to judge. A person's behavior can change if they choose too. This is just an excuse and a pattern in the action they take. Again, they way a person thinks, can also be changed. God does exist and these factors will not be taken into consideration if, if this person changes the way of thinking and the action that he makes. The way that he was brought up or the circumstances have nothing to do with who he is now. His past experiences, pack them in a suitcase and throw them in a river, for if you ask for forgiveness they are forgiven. Your destiny is the decision's and plans you have for your life. As for genes he is still a beautiful person cause God made him.

Answer 3

I would like to think that God is a fair judge. He will judge you depending on your entire life, not just a few bad cases. He will look not just at the bad you've done, but the good. If your so worried that he will judge you unfairly for the bad you have done, it may imply that you haven't done enough good to reconsile your own guilt. Remember, God will forgive you if you just ask. Once you are forgiven, and you make an honest change in your life to stop doing wrong and start doing good, then you are safe from negative judgement. God is fair and balanced, so naturally he has to take everything into consideration. Consider the theory of Original Sin; God takes that into consideration too, im sure.

Answer 4

Very Valid question. I get so tired of many Christians saying "God is Love" then turn around in the next breath saying, "Ooops, you don't accept Jesus? Then you're going to rot in the fiery pits of hell while Satan grinds your testicles." --Well I made up that last bit, but you get the picture.

This, I say, cannot be true. If you read the Christian liturgy regarding the Eucharist (communion), a statement is made that "He (Christ, God in the personage of the man Jesus) died for the forgiveness of all OUR sins...the story from Golgotha is also he made the statement "Forgive THEM for they know not what they do." He didn't say..."only those who believe in me only...or know about me are saved." He said ALL people.

To me, and to Luther (and many others...just being direct for the sake of argument) Humanity was saved by Grace and Grace alone. The Humiliation of Christ freed man from sin. Now there will be others who make the old statements...” there is no way into my Father's house save through me...or...whoever believes in me shall have eternal life." Fine, but then what is God?

In response to that question we get ..."I AM" or we get "I AM the Alpha and the Omega" Taking your basic English course you learned "AM" the "to be" verb of existance --the verb of action. AM is the state of being that is all things...existing without time. GOD. Alpha and Omega...the beginning and the end...the AM part of existence.

If we think the ineffable creative power of the universe will hang us out to dry because we cannot agree on who is right or wrong, who knows and doesn't know, who is a good boy or not....then we have our own issues...

The story of the Cross is to let us know we are loved...even the thieves, even the murderers even the people who persecute and hang us in humiliation...they are still loved. We simply have to do our best to become more than what we were born as...we have to try and learn "love"...the love shown on the cross...so ultimately...even if we did fail...we are welcomed into the Father's arms where we are held...as he whispers "Welcome child, with you I am well pleased" simply because we are His and we are loved --in all of our glorious foolishness in this life...

So, God exists ad God loves...His word is in action all throughout the universe...we have to be careful about the trapping set forth by people and false wisdom...We cannot judge (your enumeration above) because we do not have the knowledge of good and evil...When we figure that out...we won't have to fight about if God is real and if we have to have a good resume to get into his club.

Answer 5

Would your natural parents discriminate against you on those points? God knows us intimately, he knows the number of hairs on our heads, so He knows what we think, feel, and do. He is not going to punish anyone for what they don't know is wrong.
When will people get it that God does not hate anyone, He is not unfair to anyone, He loves everyone.
What a person needs to do when they have those issues, is to use them to speak up for the power of God to take us through them. I have had to do that in my own life, which would bring the same questions as you have brought. I cannot believe that a God who is loving would ever want to hurt any of us for something we had no control over.

Answer 6

When we ask Jesus into our hearts we become a new person on the inside the outside will need work. But at that point everything in the past is forgotten. We can start with a new slate and when we mess up God gave 1 John 1:9 when we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us of all our unrighteoousness

Answer 7

that again depends on your religion. Some say yes, some say no you make your own choices.
My personal opinion, is not a gene issue, and circumstances can determine of course. Your past experiences are what make you who you are. Its all about learning and growth. Just because you were abused as a child doesnt' mean you grow up to be an abuser, etc... You man your own choices, and your own destiny. So it is up to you, if you go to heaven or not.

Answer 8

You're combining all sorts of ideas which simply don't combine in any rational way.

Belief in "God' as a sort of blown-up Freudian father-figure who judges His own creation from the clouds (which is in itself an obvious logical contradiction, since by definition God is supposed to be omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, so He must not only have known every "sin" that will ever be committed in advance, but have explicitly authorized it from eternity purely for the pleasure of punishing it) is simply incompatible with the world-view established by science. The men who created this God had no notion of genetics or even "nature vs. nurture." We can analyze their primitive psychology in terms of science, but we can't reasonably analyze science in terms of their psychology. "Hate the sin, love the sinner" (which isn't even a "christian" doctrine, but a deliberate misinterpretation of a precept of Gandhi, ironically enough) hardly takes genetic predisposition into account. So-called evangelical christians are notorious for refusing to concede that being gay (e.g.) might be genetic, because such a concession would expose their intolerance of gay people for the baseless bigotry that it is.

And speaking of bigotry, what could possibly be more depraved than the "christian" statment that "If that person did not accept Jesus throughout their lifetime, ask for forgiveness of their sin, and did not follow him with their whole heart, they will still not inherit heaven"? In other words, your entire salvation depends upon your blind acceptance of notorious lies that have been exposed over and over again by honest scholarship, and the despicably vulgar notion of vicarious atonement. In the justly exasperated words of Ibsen, "Your God is an old man whom you cheat."

Answer 9

I cannot answer how God will judge, only that it will be fair and just. I will say that many great Christian men and women have come from inconcievably bad circumstances, and many from the best of homes have rejected the God their parents and friends so dearly love.

So, just because you have what you call the "advantages" of good genes, conditions, etc, certainly doesn't automatically qualify you for being a Christian. Everyone decides for themselves whether to accept or reject Christ.

Answer 10

Depends what faith you belief in.

But most faiths hold that God gives free will (Calvinism doesn't I think, they believe in a sort of pre-destiny).

Free Will doesn't allow any of the above to be used as excuses.

I don't think God takes excuses, so don't try blaming your parents!

He is supposedly forgiving.

But I won't say anything for sure. That judgement is his and it is mysterious.

Answer 11

If God exists, then He would be well familiar with a person's circumstances as He would be the One who created them.
