What do u think about my theory of life?

Question

"If God throws hardships at us, its most likely that its because you can handle it"

Would it be better if i changed it to "If life throws hardships at us..." Would that be better? I'm sorry about all the bad sides to it... I was just wondering... so thank you.

Answer 1

simplistic and silly

Answer 2

It's not a new theory...but I don't agree with it.

Who says it is God throwing at us His own hardships?

Consider other religions as well. For example, Buddhism. The most prominent thing that stood out about Buddhism to me were the Four Noble Truths. Which are as follows:
1) Life is Suffering
2) Suffering is caused by attachments and desires
3) When you rid yourself of attachments you will suffer less
4)There is a path to achieve this

Then it goes on to describe the Eightfold Path...the path to achieve enlightenment.

And no, not everyone can handle the trials and tribulations thrown at us by "God"...And with others these hardships take a negative toll on the persons in question.

Answer 3

Speaking from experience, I have (so far) handled everything God has thrown my way...though some times wondered if I would. I know for sure that the hard times build character...but I have to ask, why do people commit suicide if your theory is true? My uncle who was a Chaplin (priest) in Vietnam and went through hell on earth. He had horrible mental issues when he returned and eventually took his own life - a priest! So...that shoots a hole in your theory. I do believe everything we are given is for a reason (mostly because we need it or deserve it) and how we handle ourselves during the challenging times defines us. I have also learned, if you are at the end of your rope, simply tell yourself that "this too shall pass" and handle all obstacles with your best, ethical action and you will come out the other side stronger and better - always. That is the true test of life.

Answer 4

us to you? most likely? is god so sloppy? why would god throw things at us..or you? could god throw things to intervene in what has be set? is anything set? is hardships all there is to life? (what about the softships?)

basically, hardships don't really encompass the whole field of life so it can't be considered a theory of life (which is implying all encompassing) but more of an observation of a particular instance. the best theory i have heard thus far is such: life is what you make of it and god is makes it real.

the latter is the whole "you have to perceive it to be real bit" i don't agree with it but eh, i can't come up with anything better.

Answer 5

God can't exactly be categorized as "throwing hardships at us". think back to when you were a child or teen. You thought your parents were throwing hardships at you because they wouldn't always let you have or do what you wanted. They often knew better and so does God, but God lets us have free will, so if we choose to run the red light and get both legs broken, whose fault was that. But God, like a parent, would be there to help you heal and love you thru it. And yes, "Dear God, if you can't make it easier, please make me stronger" and he has done this for me for 56 years and I"ve been thru plenty.

Answer 6

What a bunch of crap, this idea that God throws hardships or anything else at us. Everything we experience is a consequence of a choice we made somewhere. Does it make you feel good to blame God instead of owning your own responsibility.

Answer 7

Can you look into the eyes of a child who's parent was taken from them, whether by war or heart attack or car accident and say that?

This theory implies that God deliberately wills evil things to happen to us. It does not seem to take into account the free will of human beings who unfortunately all to often choose evil. I myself cannot conceive that God would behave in such a manner.

Answer 8

God is the One True Father of all, all just fathers disipline their child so that their child will become stronger becuase of being disiplined so what more will God do? if God did not disipline us He would be neglecting us, but God neglect us? im suprised its even possible for those words to exist in that pattern. He has done more for us than we can even fathom, His Glory and Rightousness is Enternal and Infinite, believe me all things God has done for us has a meaning and sometimes we can't even realize it.

Answer 9

even a rat wont give a rats as* ..

what do you think of people going crazy because they couldnt handle their problems?is it their fault?who wants to become crazy anyway...

...or those committing suicide, people who could not take it anymore...
well, if you push a person to a corner...it is more likely that this persons perception of right will eventually change...

then to be condemned in eternal flames, forever and ever never ending doom?

...as if the sufferings they had on earth wasn't enough,

..is that justifiable?is it about games..

pushing buttons?only as far cause one can handle it?
does that sound right?
or moral?

Answer 10

What you are paraphrasing is the adage: God gives us only what he knows we can handle.
I am not sure if you can call that a theory. It's more of a belief. A theory is a statement about something that can be, and that it can be proven. E. g., the theory of relativity; it is slowly being proved more and more each year..
You'll never prove "your theory" one way or another, but it does not stop your belief or faith.

Answer 11

if you would really analyze it, problems doesn't come from God. He may have permitted the devil to do things to Job, but it is the devil who sent us to all our problems or sometimes (due to imperfection) we have done something wrong... and now we are reaping what we have planted.

Jame 1:13 said "When you are under trial, let no one say, 'I am Being tried by God,' for with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone".

hope its is clear to you now.
