~~~~~~~~ 3 Reasons why I Do NOT believe in Chirstianity~~~~~~?

Question

1. If God is everywhere, what's the difference between heaven and earth?
-When people say they are going to heaven, they assume they will be next to God. But if they are next to God right now, they are setting themselves up for a big disappointment. I think so anyway.


2. If God is everywhere, is he in hell?
-This opens up a slew of contradictions. Either the Christian god is not omnipresent or he steps foot into the epitome of evil. This is not the only time we'd see god dancing with the devil. (see Job)


3. If God is all loving, would he really allow 3/4 (or more) of his children to suffer eternally?
-Statistically speaking, I'd say about half or less Christians actually practice true Christianity. So the question, based on the argument of "God's grace", is the following. Can a loving God let all of these children suffer eternally?

Any takers?

Answer 1

First of all, maybe you don't believe in it because you can't even spell it right. You are right in saying that God is present everywhere, or omnipresent. However, Jesus gets us to heaven, and He is only in one place. Plus, heaven does not exist so that we may be with God, at least not only for that reason. It is a place for God's people - those who believe in Jesus - to live together and not put up with those who don't...maybe like you for example. It says in Matthew "For wheresoever two are called together in my name, I am with them." Would anyone ever call on the name of God in Hell, if they seriously deserve to be there? And actually there are stories of angels communicating with those in Hell, like in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. God loves all of us, but just as a father loves his son, the father still punishes his son. God gives us plenty of opportunities to accept Jesus. Those who don't by the time they die, obviously don't deserve to go to heaven. They will be punished. And even those who do go to heaven are still punished in their lives. We make mistakes and God punishes us for them, just not with Hell.

It seems to me that your disbelief is due to your own ignorance. I suggest that you try and become a little less ignorant. It will help you even if you do not become a Christian.

Answer 2

People are always going to make mistakes, no matter how hard they try to do it right. That is why no one can earn their way to heaven. The whole reason that Jesus died on the cross was to pay the ultimate price for all our sins and restore that relationship with God. It is a free gift. It had to be because we can't do enough to earn it. So, all you have to do is receive it and accept it. That relationship is restored spiritually while we are still in these bodies; they are still part of this corrupt world. Eventually we will be given new uncorruptable bodies that can handle the intensity of facing God physically and this world will be remade a new.

Unfortunately, there are going to be those who don't accept that free gift and chose a life, both physical and spiritual, this life and the next, without God. They are chosing in turn an eternity without God and that is where Hell comes in. It is the only place that God created that He will not inhabit. It was created for the fallen angels, not for man. Man has to chose to go there.

Practically, think of Heaven as being every pure and good thing magnified to infinity, without a trace of bad and, likewise, Hell being every horror imaginable magnified to infinity without a trace of good. The choice is ours.

Answer 3

Yeah I'll take you. You know. All your questions have been formed from a simple lack of two things: faith and knowledge. #1- Heaven is our eternal destination (well at least those who beleive. Earth is just a trial, a test of faith. Apparantly you've proved to be on the negative side of that.
#2-We will be next to God because then we will see him and be with him in our eternal home. This place down here (Earth) is just a hotel for me and you.
#3-Yes, God's in Hell. He's in the minds of all who suffer the wrath they themselves have brought upon. He's in there forever dying hearts. Too bad they had no faith. Takes a weak man/woman to have no faith,.
#4- God is all loving. He let's his creation "suffer" due to many factors. Factors we will never know until I make it to Heaven and ask him. This world is just a test, not a haven. People like you don't understand. Try though. Open your closed-off mind and let the truth come to view. It doesn't take much to open up. Believe me, this life of such few years has proved to be difficult. But I know 100% that the Lord is there holding my hand each step of the way. And each time I stumble and fall. He's there for you too. If you'd like to talk, just email me. I wouldn't mind at all.

Answer 4

1. I believe God is everywhere He wants to be. I want to be with him here and after. I have a personal relationship with God, and He communicates with me through His Word, through people and circumstances. I know He is real, but I have been there where I did not feel His presence. This earth is good, it is only going to be much better in heaven.

2. I believe He is everywhere He wants to be. He does not have the same limits we have.

3. He is loving. Yes, He will allow a lot of people to go to hell. That is the choice we can make. Do not blame God. He is te Creator. He gives our life and He can take it away. I want to team up with Him, because He has conquered the death.

I believe the hell is a real place, but I believe that it is not going to be eternal torment. I believe the hell is going to be done with.

Answer 5

God is everywhere. But He won't be in hell. Hell is the absence of God in our lives. Even if you are an atheist you still enjoy His providence here on earth. All the blessings He gives people, even unbelievers, will be gone.
The human mind, being sinful, cannot comprehend God. Heaven is a place where sin is no more in our nature and we will be able to meet God face to face.
As to the last part, the Bible clearly indicates that not everyone is a child of God. You only become a child of God if you choose to become one. Jesus told the Pharisees that their father was the devil. Christians are children of God and unbelievers choose not to be.

Answer 6

I believe that Heaven is the presence of God and Hell is the complete absences of God. So God could not be in hell.

Yes, God’s Spirit is everywhere, but I don’t think it’s the same thing as the presences of God. The best analogy I can think of, on a sunny day you could say that sunlight is everywhere, but that’s not the same thing as touching the actual sun.

If hell is the absences of God then one would suffer in eternal isolation. But that is because they have rejected the presence of God. Should God force people to be in his presence if they don’t want to be there?

Answer 7

...And this is why you don't believe on Christ?
...If you wait until you get all your questions answered (which probably won't ever happen) before you believe, you risk an eternity in Hell - not a good trade at all, is it?
...You do err not knowing the Scriptures.
1. You, like many others, have embraced the idea that all of us are God's children. This is not found anywhere in Scripture. Not all humans are God's children - only those who are Christians are. Here is one verse (and there are others) that says this, Galation 3:26 "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."
2. What is "true Christianity" according to you? From the sounds of it, you would call it a system of ethics or behavior control, and not a personal relationship with our Creator.
...John 17:3 says, "And this is eternal, that they may know Thee, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent."
...You also do not understand that all are sinners and separated from God. God is loving and also a just judge, who must punish sin.
...Do we deserve what is coming? Yes, and much worse, but God in His grace sent Jesus to die for us and be raised for us, making a full salvation possible to all who will believe.
...What a deal! I got His righteousness for my sin -won't you believe on Him, before it's too late?
...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved (Acts 16:31)
...Whosoever will, may come.

Answer 8

What does the Bible say the penalty for sin is?

Rom. 6:23: “The wages sin pays is death.”

After one’s death, is he still subject to further punishment for his sins?

Rom. 6:7: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”

Is eternal torment of the wicked compatible with God’s personality?

Jer. 7:31: “They [apostate Judeans] have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.” (If it never came into God’s heart, surely he does not have and use such a thing on a larger scale.)

Illustration: What would you think of a parent who held his child’s hand over a fire to punish the child for wrongdoing? “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) Would he do what no right-minded human parent would do? Certainly not!

Answer 9

1 God is in ur spirit+ soul. earth is filled with sin because of the choices we make.

2 no he defeated satan and is everywhere but there.

3 God DOESNT make us suffer! we live with the choices that we make! if u CHOOSE to start doing drugs and then u end up getting addicted is that Gods fault!?

i didnt think so..=P

Answer 10

My three reasons why are: disease, natural disasters, and birth defects. I cannot see how a loving god would allow these things to happen. At the same time, I have to accept the fact that Christians believe in their god anyway.
