Believers, would a good father throw his child out into the fireplace if some lied to her and she believed?

Question

the liar? Isnt this what you believe happens? I constantly hear Christians here telling us that Satan has lied to us, decieved us, ect. So, if he has, how is that our fault? If we are blind how can we be faulted? Would you condemn a blind man to death because he cant see? Dont you see how cruel and horrible this is? If God were real dont you think he would be less obtuse? Think about the people born in lands where they have never heard of christianity. Is that their fault? I know this is pointless, but maybe one person will think a little about this.

Oops, I was distracted by Sting on the Grammys. Sorry I meant SOMEONE, not some. Jeez.

Wow, John C, so if God hasnt "chosen" me I am damned? Think about this! That is about as cruel a statement as I have ever heard.

Answer 1

I do indeed believe that it is cruel and horrible, if God is like that. If God exists, I truly hope that He/She is better than the vengeful creature that His/Her followers so often imagine.

Answer 2

If a rapist went around raping, should we do nothing about it? What if his buddy told him it was okay.What if he was sorry for what he did. Or should we punish them for what they did. If this is the case on an Earthly level, how much more severe will it be against the infinite God. Sin will be punished by God, and without Jesus, that place is in hell. For nobody is good except God. The conscience is evidence of God, and his laws are written on the hearts of people. If people seek they will find, because God promises that. Creation is proof of a creator, that is why uncivilized tribes worship a God. If a person never heard about God, and desires to know him, the truth will be brought to him. For the bible makes an account of a Roman Soldier in that very position.

Answer 3

If we believe God is the creator, this question is not difficult to answer but it must be believed. Maybe, you have just completed making a watch, and this watch later gives you problems of telling you the correct time and it cannot be repaired or adjusted, what would you do to this watch. Do you throw this away? God the Father is very different. He is waiting for everyone to turn to him and it is very easy to do so if only you believe. Of course, if you die before the end times, your comments or complaint would not be taken notice. Say, you survive until the End times and you come face to face with God. He just ask, is your name appeared in the Book of Life and it is not found in there, the Bible says, you are cast down. You probably would not be asked to defend yourself, so terrible and you are quite right to imagine why God the Father is that cruel. But I doubt very much you will have anything to say about yourself when you face him. Firstly, you will be trembling and in great fear and tongue tight. A look at the face of God, it will chill you and you will just cry all your way to the place prepared for those who reject him where they are alive, well and kicking. You are intelligence to ask this question and it is too naive to judge God the Father for this terrible action or punishment prepared for nonbelievers. So good Father God will be good if you listen to him now..

Answer 4

No, it is not. God does not condemn any of His children. Now, you must understand, not all humans are considered children of God, only the redeemed, the elect, the saved, those who believe in Christ as their savior. Those who do not, are considered enemies of God and die in their sins. We are born into sin and have a sin nature. God cannot allow sin into Heaven, therefore, either ones sins are forgiven and removed by the work of Christ on the cross, or they enter eternity still stained with sin, which will be judged. God elects or saves people from all tongues, nations and people groups. God will make sure those whom He has called will hear the gospel and respond. God does the saving, we don't.

Answer 5

Nice argument but Christianity has been around the globe. Now no one is blind. Even the true American Indians believed in the Great Spirit in the sky. Sting still exists, thought they was gone in the 90's.

Answer 6

Hello sngcanary.. :)

satan "is" the father of lies..

That is why we as believers in Christ share with others..about the Love and saving grace of Jesus..how we all can be set free from drugs, hatred, bigotry, anger, greed and all that is evil..

When one has been told..then it is "your" choice to accept God's Love..or deny His Love..God does not throw anyone into the fire..It is by your own choice..

It would be like if you tell a child not to touch the stove, or they will get burned..if they do not listen to you..will they not get burned..

They chose not to listen to you and had to find out for themselves, but in doing so, they got hurt.. :(

If one has Never heard of Jesus, than God would not turn them away, He would take them under His wing..that is why we have Missionaries..

Have you ever heard the song "Amazing Grace" how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me..I once was lost but now I'm found..I was blind by now I see.. :)

If you want to, you can listen to this video..this is the God I serve and Love.. :)

I pray this answered your question.. :)

In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)

Answer 7

We have a sin nature inherited from Adam,our Adamic nature.We are the children of Adam.When we accept Jesus as savior we are adopted into the family of God.We receive the Holy Spirit and now are "Born Again" by the Spirit of God.Now we are not just body and soul,but body ,soul and spirit,an earthly trinity .Romans 1 states people who have never heard the gospel will be judged on the light they have.Eveyone knows it's wrong to murder etc.
Now that we are true children of God ,He will never toss us out.Period.

Answer 8

Your understanding of Christianity is out of whack (perhaps on purpose). You've chosen a philosophical path that goes the long way around the garden and gets you lost.

It's easy.

God says we've been lied to.
God says we're all liars.
God says we're all forgiven and invites us to live with him forever.

The fireplace stuff is ridiculous. Just take the offer and stop being intentionally dumb.

Answer 9

First off God is a GOOD FATHER. He doesn't send people to hell because of lying. He offers people a chance to accept him and repent of their sins.
Secondly....What do you think we Christians are doing? We're here to warn the blind (spiritually blind) people what is coming if they don't repent. God loves so much that He sent us to be Jesus with skin-on. We are here reaching out with His arms of love, to help you find the way Home.

Answer 10

God knows whom He has chosen. If it is His will that you should know Him, you will know Him.

*edit** What would you have me say to you?
Seek God with a true heart, read His word, Pray to Him, ask Him into your heart, realize you are a sinner in need of a Savior, pray that you receive His Holy Spirit so that you might know His truth and believe in Him? That is how we might receive God into our hearts. We acknowledge Him first and in return He might acknowledge us. Did you not already know this? Don't you know that it is God's will that a person be "saved?" God alone converts the heart and soul. So, you can reject Him or accept Him, either way you have no excuse.
