Why do you worship "God"?

Question

Why do people worship a "God" who would kill millions who do not follow him, with floods or fire rained down from above, but those same people will cry ‘Madman’ when a country's leader eliminates millions?

Who said I was comparing "God" to Saddam? Saddam never even killed millions of people!

Answer 1

There is an executioin type, that is righteous, warranted, and needed.

In addition, whenever God desrtoys ones, he gives plenty of warning, and opportunity to change. Let's say final meltdown on this order of things, here on earth, started four months from now. That we begin to see the most horrid time on the planet, all the "conclusionary" parts of Revelation, Matthew 24:21 starts, etc.

Can anyone, anywhere, say they didn't get a fair shot? That God didn't give them enough time? That they'll change on behalf of their kids? No.

God isn't killing them as much as they have signed their own death warrant. They were given fair warning. It always sort of cracks me up when people call the "God of the Old Testament" a war monger. He would beg and plead with people for centuries:

"Don't force me to this!"

"O if only you would actually pay attention to my commandments! Then your peace would become just like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. And your offspring would become just like the sand, and the descendants from your inward parts like the grains of it. One’s name would not be cut off or be annihilated from before me." - Isaiah 48:18,19

How many people feel soo much sorrow for someone who refuses to leave their house, when they are living underneath a volcano, and received plenty of warning that the volcano was going to erupt? The volcano killed them, true. But they could have easily avoided it by simply moving away. A very, very simple step, when considering the stakes.

Answer 2

You have no understanding of God. To compare God to Saddam shows a total lack of knowing the Savior. If you are ignorant then keep silent. Because you will give an account of all your words on judgement day, stand before this God you compare to a Madman.

Answer 3

He kills those who do not worship Him, because that is the unforgivable sin. ppl that kill usually don't have a good reason. the most stupid reason I have heard was "'because he was mean 2 me... he never said hi 2me'". but the unforgivable sin is forever rejecting the Holy Spirit whom loves u and cares 4 u and only wants the best 4 u. our God is an awesome God He created all u see around u and more. why wouldn't I want 2 worship a God that created the entire world!? think about where would we b without Him.

Answer 4

The purpose of worship in Islaam is to make the person God conscious. Thus the worship, whether it is prayer, fasting, or charity, is a means to an end and the end is to seek the pleasure of God by becoming God Conscious in thought and in action. Thus the God conscious is better placed to receive His bounties both in this world and in the Hereafter

Answer 5

The word 'worship" came from the root word "worth".
He is "worthy" to be worshipped because He created us in the beginning, and then when we were lost in sin, He came down to seek us and paid our ransom. So we are now twice His, first by creation and second because redemption when He purchased us with the highest price ever paid.

And here is the Biblical reason why we should worship God:

“ Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:


“ Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”[g]
Revelation 5:12,13

Answer 6

I don't think you take in accout, that times have changed.

Before Saddam was the country's leader, he had killed several people.
Maybe you should read about the lives of these people before you try to justify who they are.

Answer 7

I'm not a Christian but I can give an educated guess.
Maybe God doesn't really care who lives an who dies. In the end, it'll just be heaven or hell. All the people he killed, were either nonbelievers who were supposedly sent to hell, and his believers who joined him in heaven.
Regarding the leader that kills millions.....Christians believe that if God does it, then it has a purpose or its for the greater good or its part of his "great plan". When a human does it, people curse them because in the bible, "thou shalt not kill".
But then, we go and hang the f ucker.....eh, why not? They believe that the bible's rules and commandments can be broken under certain circumstances.
If you ask me, Christians are a bunch of hypocrites.

Answer 8

I don't think any answer would matter to you.
"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us that are saved it is the power of God."
1 Corinthians 1:18
"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools".
Romans 1:22
"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:14 (New International Version)

Answer 9

"For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!" Ezekiel 18:32

"For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ" 1st Thessalonians 5:9

Answer 10

what God does is not for me to judge. He has His reasons, and the only thing I know is that I want to get to Heaven, so I'm gonna do wutever He wants. Just because He decides some people need to get kicked off earth isnt a reason for me to reject Him and find myself in Hell some day.
