Answer me I need to know, followers of god, why?

Question

You who blindly follow god! Why?

I just asked peoples opinion on god. Boy did I get slammed. 31 answers in the time it took me to answer 1 question.

I believe in god. I said that in my other question. I know he has harmed me and my family. He took my older brother which in turn made my mother leave. She believed in him with all her heart. She loved him more than anyone I have ever seen.

When my older brother came down with a horrible cancer she believed god would take care of them. She said she knew he would. So when the doctors told her that her son was going to die she didn't believe them, not even for a second....... Until he died.

She was devastated. How could he take he poor innocent son. He was taken on his 10th birthday. She woke up with him dead beside her. She had to carry her son's lifeless body to the living room. and then tape his eyes shut. ( he wanted his body to go to science if he died) (even though she told him god would take care of him)

That event tore my family appart and made my life a living hell.

I rightfully blaim god for what happend. I have also givin him credit for the good in my life as well.

The only thing I feel for him is hate.

How can all of you love him. and believe he only does good? How can a jealous god also be a loving god? How can he be the perfect idol that you all adore?

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! ASK HIM FOR FORGIVENESS? THANK HIM FOR TEARING ME TO PEICES? THAT BRINGS US CLOSER.

Should I also love and seek comfort from the men who abused me. Should I thank god for death. ARE YOU ALL MAD?

Answer 1

Yes, they are all mad, don't let the fundies get to you. They are drunk on their love for their God.

I agree with you. I could never worship and honor the Christian God for some of the very same reasons you have mentioned. A jealous, vindictive God cannot by very definition be a loving God. If he truly is almighty, then he is malevolent for the things he allows to happen and certainly not worthy of worship.

You have my utmost empathy in regards to loosing loved ones to cancer. Personally I think it’s sick that people have the nerve to tell someone who has lost a loved one that died is because God wanted them in Heaven. I don’t think they realize how selfish that makes their God sound

Answer 2

Whether you believe it or not, your 10 year old brother is in heaven right now and he wouldn't come back to earth if God gave him the chance. What you perceive as a bad thing, God perceives it as a good thing. Your brother will spend eternity in heaven and he will never shed another tear.
You feel anger and sorrow because your brother is gone.
God says: I have your brother here, with me, and he is completely filled with joy and happiness. He is eagerly awaiting your arrival so he can show you around.
Your brother was spared countless heartache and sorrow.
How do you know what God spared your brother from?
Perhaps he could have died a much more unpleasant way, or perhaps he would have had a lifetime of physical or mental problems due to an accident or something similar.
Gods taking him at such a young age, was Gods plan to bring your brother into eternity with him.
Try not to dwell on the hurt you feel, rather, dwell on the joy and peace your brother is feeling right now.
Stay bitter and angry at God and you will never see your brother again. He will be there and you will be somewhere else.
Apologize to God for your bitterness and anger, trust Him to do whats best for you, and you will once again see your brother some day. Make no mistake about it, most scholars believe the age of accountability is 12-13 years old. Children under that age, who die, go straight into the loving arms of Christ Jesus.
You can join your brother if you first learn to "Trust" God in everything, including your life.
What God did for your brother is a wonderful thing.
He gave your brother eternal happiness.
Praise God for loving your brother so much that he spared him from any more sorrow or suffering. God wants whats best for all of us.
God Bless You....Peace.

Answer 3

This life is a test, so even though we all go through difficult times (some more than others), if we're patient, and turn to Him then hopefully we will be successful in this test of life. Remember, all kids go to heaven, which is a better destination than where many people are going.

God is your creator, he has given you countless blessings, and you should be thankful. I understand that tragedies are extremely hard to deal with, but bad things happen to good people. It's how we deal with it that matters. It's best to ask God for guidance and strength, as He is the best to do so.

I suggest reading the English translation of the Holy Qur'an for guidance.

Answer 4

If your mother and even yourself truly believed you would know to thank God for the time he allowed you with your brother, we all return to God, we all die.It sounds like your mother and yourself lost faith the moment he died. Do you not believe your brother is in the arms of the Lord? Do you not believe that when it is your time that you will see and be reunited with your brother? Do you not believe that he is watching over you? It is that we taste of the sweet and the bitter in this life,but to lose your faith when it was most crucial to keep it, that is the saddest part of your life. I feel bad for you. I am sorry for your loss, we come from God, we go back to God and it is a much greater place that we move onto.
Love and Peace

Answer 5

Know that God loves you and he didn't take away your brother and rip apart your family. You MUST hold on to God with all your heart.

Don't blame God for taking away your brother because it wasn't Him. It sounds to me that the Devil or some demon has tried to break up your family and cause you to leave your faith. They will do anything or use anyone to rip you apart. I have dealt first hand with this which I can sum up in a series of events.

1. Grandpa died
2. Dad started drinking.
3. I got saved.
4. More drinking from my dad.
5. Successions of frightful nights.
6. Got worse and worse.
7. Christmas time, dad drinking, came home yelling.
8. One last night he drank
9. Family has been going to church (after I was saved)
10. DELIVERED!

This is just putting it lightly but I want you to know that you have to hang on and not be to quick to judge and go blaming God about something bad that has happened in your life. I know how it feels to lose someone you love dearly but you still have to praise God through those tough times. He'll get you through it only if you hang on to his every word and decide to follow it. If you don't do that your family has a good chance of staying separated. I'll be praying for you. God bless you.

Answer 6

People die everyday, living and dying is the Universal Law that God created, something that is there that we can't overcome just like gravity.

In His last communique, He says that life is a test, each soul will taste death. The time may vary, but that is where we are headed, like it or not.

He also says, that those who persevere will taste sweet reward of heaven. Read Qur'an, God willing, you will find answers.

"Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception." (Qur'an, chapter 3, verse 185)

Answer 7

I don't blindly follow God. I made a choice.

and why would you believe God harmed you? death is just about guaranteed to everyone (until the rapture). Stop blaming God for every problem already!

*I appologize if I sound unsympathetic. Really, I know death is a HORRIBLE thing, especially when you had hope of recovery. It'll feel like every sinue surrounding the tissue we call a heart is being ripped out slowly and painfully. it can feel as if you've been abandoned, if your faith wasn't strong enough, many horrible feelings. But I assure you: God did not kill your brother.

If God takes somebody, it will be a person who is better off in Heaven, but God will not use cancer to do it. I believe if God kills, He does it personally. He'll let you die old and graceful, or you'll be like Elijah or Enoch.

sorry about him, just please, stop thinking God is to blame...

Answer 8

"Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam" (1 Kings 14:12-13).

Ahijah the prophet tells the mother something that the mother very much does not want to hear: you and your family are so evil that I'm going to do your child a favor and bring him home to me before you can ruin him. Ah, but that would mean that we are inherently evil, which idea you rebel against. This would be why you're mad at God. It isn't because God hasn't blessed you with food and life; it's because God has not given you what you demanded of Him: "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts" (James 4:3).

So, be mad at me for telling you what God says: "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Thus, as a sinner you come to God. You have no claims on Him. Demanding from Him isn't coming in faith. "Those who would come to God must come believing that He is" . . . that is, believing that He is Who He is, not whom you want Him to be. Most people on this site are mad at God because He won't change to fit their box. Sorry. You will all be frustrated at that one.

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13)
So ask Him for His Holy Spirit and His forgiveness.

Answer 9

God has not harmed you. Yes you hurt because your brother died, but we all die. When someone dies that means that they have served their purpose here and God has other plans for them. You are grieving I understand that.Your mother is also grieving. Instead of hating God, turn to God He will comfort you at this time. I will pray for you and your family. But please know that your brother is no longer suffering or in pain, he is in God's loving arms. God Bless

Answer 10

Why, after all this misery, would you believe in god at all? There is no reason to suppose that there is any such thing. Many believers will mouth platitudes such as god is testing you, god will not burden you with more than you can bear, and the like, but none of this is in the least bit helpful. It is better to understand that there is no such thing as a god that gives a rat's behind about any human predicament, that s--t happens, and one can -- and must -- deal with it.
