Question about God...?

Question

I understand that God made each one of us on his own and that he has had a plan for us from the very beginning but if this is so, then why are there murderers and athiests out there?? Surely God didn't make them like that??? He doesn't want to see anyone that way! Right??

Answer 1

There is no God. It's all superstition.

Answer 2

You have heard everyone speak of free will and the like. Do not forget sin. We are all sinners and if we turn from the light or ignore it all manner of evil is open to us.

The Bible gives a sad account of the rich young man in Mark 10:17-23. While this is not murder you see that the you man knew the truth and still desired wealth more than the knowledge.

You will remember many other examples in the Bible where man denies God and reaps destruction. The Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, The desert wandering. Even in the midst of delivery man has fallen from God's grace and it has cost us dearly.

Matthew 13:18-20 (New International Version)

18"Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

Answer 3

The way is narrow and few shall find it. I didn't necessarily believe that until I was exposed to Y!A. I thought everyone pretty much knew at birth that there is a God and it isn't him or her.

What I find amazing is that those who don't love the Lord do so with a mad passion. If you were to see this kind of anger in a human relationship you would know there is love under the surface of it. The opposite of love would be apathy. You rarely see an apathetic atheist.

If you don't love the Lord that's fine. Nobody is holding a gun to your head. Nobody is making fun of you for it. But why are you so hostile toward people who choose to embrace another world view?

Say what you want. Believe what you will. There is a God shaped hole in every heart. Fill it with whatever makes sense to you. Maybe I'd be pissed off too if I was busting my tail to fill it everyday and still came up empty. Go ahead. Thumbs me down. I've got support where it counts.

Answer 4

If you're going to successfully answer this question, then you need to get rid of the idea that God had a plan with a foggy outcome. If God has omnipotence then man must have a damaged nature, and if the latter is true, then man can keep his free will only if he cannot look to God for salvation -- and none of his decisions will matter at all. Every person "created", as you put it, is not his or her own Adam or Eve, starting anew with temptation. They inherit a sin nature from Adam called original sin, and left in their unregenerate state, that's what you get in the worst of the worst -- although this "total depravity" doesn't mean that man is necessarily as evil as he could possibly be. It's just that he's quite naturally got only one destination save for God's mercy and grace. This kind of a viewpoint would make God totally righteous in destroying man completely, but for some odd reason he didn't, he chose his own from before the foundations of the world were laid. He rules his universe, and if he "doesn't want to see anyone that way" then we only have ourselves to blame. God does call us all to repentance. But only some are saved.

Answer 5

God gave us all a free will, freedom of choice.an open mind. He didn't create us to be like puppets or a computer program, doing whatever He wants us to do. God gives us the truth and lets us make up our own mind. Yes, God knows the big picture. He knows ahead of time, which way a person will go But, He gives us an option to choose. It's like you asking (lets say a banker) what 5 +5 is. You already know the answer is 10 and you know they are going to tell you it's 10 but they made the choice. They made the choice to tell you 10 and not the wrong answer. That's kind of the way it is with God and us.

Answer 6

an1: God affords every human being the right to be wrong. It is from mistakes that we accumulate knowledge and understanding hence, experience. God is not attempting to save the whole world now, or He would send a bunch of angels and just like that, the job would be done, wouldn't it ? God's Plan is for all human beings ever, born - each in his or her turn and time to inherit the "devine nature". God is in the saving business and will see His Plan through to the completion. "Murders and Atheists" are allowed to be simply, because God has not drawn them to Him and given them the understanding YET. Rest assured, He will and they will share too in the knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ. All humans start out with zero knowledge of God and God decides to impart understanding at His prerogative. God will see His Plan through until there will be no one lacking in a relationship with Him - all the way till the return of Jesus Christ to this earth, at the close of this age. In the end, we ALL WIN !!!

Answer 7

Of course he didnt make them. His original purpose for us was to live forever and he happy and perfect. Im sure your well aware of Adam and Eves mistake which caused us to be imperfect. Along the way people made up false ideas and twisted the bibles truth. People became bad because of the imperfection and after satan and his demons were thrown down to earth in 1914 he put alot of false ideas here on earth, and people started to believe in evolution or the big bang or other ideas like there. Murderers, etc are result of imperfection also. Thankfully if we are in the true religion and do whats right we will see all these things end and enjoy the life god meant for us from the very beginning here on earth.

Answer 8

Sure everything God created at first was good but after sin came along we changed. We all have the potential for all types of evil things. He has given us free will to do whatever we want to and unfortunately some of us choose to do horrible things. The good news is that we can all be changed from a horrible person to a good one by Jesus. God's plans are for everyone to be saved and to be righteous and I know that his plans for us will not fail.

Answer 9

I will try my best to answer your question to the best of my ability. First off is you have been lied to. There is no God as the church makes him out to be. The Creator ndemands justice and will certainly have his way. The Creator came from the stars. We are their experiment and it's going badly right now. Open your King James "Authorized" version of the Bible to Genesis 1 Verse 26. " It says" And God said let us make man in our image, in our likeness" First question should be "Who is US?" Second question should be "Who is OUR?" Let us make man in OUR image and in OUR likeness? All religious Christiians and Muslims believe there is only one God but the Bible says otherwise. God came from the stars. Now look at Genesis4 verses 13 and 14. Cain said to the Lord " My pun ishment is more than I can be4ar. Today you are driving me from the land and In will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the Earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." Think about this for a second. If in the beginning there was only Adam, Eve, Cain and Able and Cain killed Able who would be outside of the Garden of Eden wanting to kill Cain? The answer is...other Homind species such as the neanderthal which was another of the experiments. Why do you think the so called missing link is still missing? It's because there isn't one. We were created from creatures from the starsa that resemble us. They still walk among us but are very tired of the way we have worshipped false Gods. There is a Heaven if you wish to call it that. You simply pass from one dimention into another without even knowing the feeling of death. Life can be wonderful if you thank the right creator for your blessing youwill receive many, many more. Do a Video search on Google for Joprdan Maxwell and watch a few of his videos. It might pique your interests.

Answer 11

There are murderers and atheists because God gave us free will. We are not mindless robots. We have the ability to choose. Although it grieves Him, some people end up making bad choices.
