Question

Isn't it Gods job to punish those who "sin" against him?

If so, please stop trying to convince others what YOU believe is right and supreme.

If you want to have an abortion, that's on your conscious.
If you want to marry someone of he same sex, that's on your conscious.

Christians, please stop trying to impede scientific development because you think it's wrong, If your God didn't want it to happen, why did he chose to implant free will into our DNA?

Answer 1

Yes; it is God's prerogative to "punish" those who sin against Him - but will He? What about those countless billions, who never even, heard of God nor had the opportunity to worship Him due to Communism, dictatorship, or plain, ignorance ? would God take delight in mass-torture of these billions - or is He a just and loving God ?

Answer 2

I agree with chrislynn. If God wouldn't have givin us free will, then we would be robots. And God will punish those who sin against him at Armageddon. We teach what we believe, no, what we know the bible says. If we didnt have free will, then we wouldn't truly be able to appreciate and love god, because we would have no choice. And alot of people believe what Christians say is right, but they just don't wanna except it because then they would have to give up doing what THEY want to do.

Answer 3

I think you're off base on the DNA thing. A Christian wishes that no one go to hell. It's a warning, a hope, a plea, to turn to religion. No one is FORCING you.to accept their point. No one is putting a gun to your head and trying to make you become a Christian. Accept what they hope you will believe or reject it and see if they are right. PS..they are right. PSS God will punish, but in His own way and time.

Answer 4

Why are you trying to convince people you don't agree with to leave you alone? If you have your belief, stick by it. We'll all stick by what we believe and if the chance comes up I'll let others know what I believe in. They seem to always ask anyway. Just like you did.

Answer 5

You have a right to your opinion which is why I suppose you said this!
Stop expecting Christian to SHUT UP! We won't because we are called to shout it from the housetops to WHOEVER WILL LISTEN.
I do take issue with other religions who use the Bible verses which speak of Jesus to promote their cause. Such as Farrakhan who's rep said today, "Whosoever will, may come"
That to me is disgusting. He used the words of Jesus to make him more presentable to whomever.
We will not be mute. Least not me!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

What you want to imply on your nonsense question is for you to believe. If you do not want to be convinced about the truth, go on to your own belief. Its not me who will suffer the consequences, anyway we are just trying to save you but if you do not want, do on, no worry. Make your own day

Answer 7

I will answer your question with another:

Isn't it our job to look out for our fellow man's (and woman's) well being?

I believe the answer to this question is YES. Our neighbors' lives, our co-workers', our friends', our families' lives, are all in our hands, and ours is in theirs. We have a responsibility to humanity (that we are in contact with) to work for the betterment of all.

If my friend at work is on drugs, those of us who are her friends will stage an intervention.

If my cousin tries to play "tag" with a semi, we should drag his stupid butt out of the highway.

If my neighbor can't think of what else to do with her unborn child than kill her, I can offer her a more positive solution.

Yes, God gave us the gift of free will. He also gave us the gift of responsibility to go along with it. Callousness is not a gift, as you would suggest. "That is on your conscious" is callous disregard for another person, not "minding my own business".

Answer 8

Free will is so we can show him our true character, we have free will to prove to God if we can chose whats right or what "feels" right. God loves us and wants us to choose him.

Answer 9

I mean, come on. Again? why do you pick on Christians? were not the only on that believe in God. I think I know, if you pick on the Jews, then you think that you're an anti-semite, if you pick on a Muslim, you'll be scared, because they might bomb you. You pick on Christians because they don't hurt you.

Answer 10

Yes, Judge not least ye be judged. As long as you know in your heart that your doing what you are destined to do, and be who you are destined to be it doesn't matter what anyone else has to say or think or do.
