Why would God do this?

Question

we are all stinkin' sinners, trash that needs to be burned in hell. he knew everybody was going to reject him, so why did he send Jesus to die for us. i don't get it. I'm 15 and a straight A student, so how come i can't understand this? how can a single God love us this much? what do i need to do?

Answer 1

There comes a point in your life where you must either study meditate and come to a mature faith or fade away. Looks like you have reached this point young.

What you need to do is study and read backup material and look at the history of the bible. God has given revelation of himself through out history and it has been distorted, but he has preserved the meaning for those who seek him earnestly.

I know that is not a direct answer to your question. There is much I dont understand. God sent his son to reveal more of himself to us on a level which we could understand. It is difficult to comprehend his vastness, so he became finite and a part of our universe for just a moment to reveal much on a direct basis. He then let it go and life unfolds for all of us. What will we do with his revelation?

If he had remained, established himself as supreme on earth, or made it such that the existence of God could be proven. Faith and trust would not be required. These are two of the main things God wants from us.

Dont fade away, I did for awhile and it is a hard journey home. Keep searching.

Answer 2

It should be easy to understand. When Adam and Eve sinned,and were cast from the garden. They lost there intimate walk with God. Through Jesus dieing on the cross,and being raised from the dead we all can ounce again have that personal intimate relashonship with God agin.

Stop driving yourself nuts. You've got to remember that God created us with our own free wills, able to choose what we want. He did that b/c he wanted us to consciously choose to follow Him, not to blindly follow b/c that's just the way we were made. Jesus was sent as a presentation of that choice. Choose to live like Christ and follow His lead or don't. Many people don't and I believe that makes God unhappy, but He loves us anyway just as your parents love you when you're given a choice, but make a poor decision. Having a love that great is incomprehensible to us and beyond what we can understand just like we can't explain ourselves to a cockroach. So, just rest in the peace of knowing that His love for you is real and constant even though it's greater than your brain can comprehend and find a way to share that with other people. That's why you're here and it's what God wants you to choose to do.

Answer 4

Think of parenting a child. They will usually do anything to keep a child from harm. they make sacrifises,wanting good things, and a happy life for thier child. They give love, hoping you will grow to love. And be a good desent person, hoping they taught you well enough to have a good life. You are their flesh come from them, they made. God made all things, beyond our puny minds comprehention. We are all Gods children, Jesus was there always. At the time of creation, he was doing his Fathers work. And we being rebelius, and out of control, were all going to bad things. But we were still loved, like any parent wanting good things for thier children. And wanting to pull us out of harms way, made a sacrifice, hoping to save as many of us as they could. And when our parents come home, we'll all face our misdeeds. God doesn't wish that any be punished, he wants to forgive us, and give us good things. What to do? God has rules for us, we should do what we can to follow them. Ask forgivenes when we stumble, we're flawed and imperfect, he knows this. But we are to try doing better, and not let a day pass without praying to be forgiven, and learn to do his will. In Jesus name

Answer 5

I didn't reject Him....


All you need to do is admit that you are a sinner and ask His forgiveness..based on what Christ did on the cross.....and that is the requirement for eternal life.

Its that simple....why would anyone be dumb enough to reject such a free gift of eterbnal life?

Thanks for the question.

Answer 6

A better question is: "Why would a rational god who loves his creation so much, choose a single race and then after providing a premanent solution, allow the majority of humanity to not hear of it? Considering that countless billions are going to burn, because they never had a chance."

Answer 7

woman, do you realize what your saying. God forgives and he send jesus to teach the righteous ways in life and to preach about the kingdom of God and the word of God. and God doesnt want to punish us but look at this world today f*cked up with murderers and kidnappers and robbers and terrorists. its the people who get theirselfs in trouble and they pay for their sins in the end. its not Gods fault. people pay for their sins in the end.

Answer 8

seriously you need right now to just drop down on your knees and cry out to God for forgiveness and ask Him to show you understanding of His love for you...
