Why do we need saving from a kind, loving God?

Answer 1

This is one of the many contradictions most faiths have, Gnosticism says God is all loving, all knowing..sin does not exist because life on Earth is a school, we write our entire lives before we are born, every single problem, mistake, tear and moment of joy. God is static and all knowing but knowledge needs to be experienced, and we his creation reincarnate many lives from the perfection of Home for our souls growth and to experience for him.

Answer 2

Who said you did. I don't want to be saved from God, I like hanging out with Him. He's pure goodness and love and there's no better place to be. I needed saving from my own sinful nature. I was a pathetic mess, incapable of surviving life on my own. I was ready to end my life when God stepped in and offered me new life. I jumped at the offer. I have never regretted that choice. Life is still hard, but now I have help in getting through it plus I have peace and joy inside that can't be taken away.

Answer 3

If God doesn't save us who will? We are not capable of saving ourselves. That is so obvious. If a higher loving being doesn't do something to help us we are doomed. I don't know how anyone can possibly believe we can make things better ourselves.

Answer 4

We don't we need saved from our fallen sin nature that seperates us from God. I hear people say why dosen't God just save everyone. What do you thinck heaven would be like if God allowed rapists,murderers, ect to go to heaven. Be alot like earth woudn't it. Thats why. If they cannot accept a loving God be gone,who would want them.

Answer 5

We don't need to be saved from His lovingkindness. We need to be saved from our own sins or be subject to His judgment.

As much as He is loving, kind, and merciful, He is also absolutely holy. Sin offends Him completely. He is absolutely justified in meting out justice to murderers, rapists, child molesters, pornographers, thieves, etc.

He is also absolutely justified in judging us for lying, for shoplifting that tube of lipstick, and for giving that driver the finger on when we got cut off on the highway. Where does He get the right to judge us for things like that?

Because He is holy and humans are sinful by nature. We offend Him by our very existence. But for some reason He loves us so extraordinarily, irrationally much that He provided a way for us to be saved from the judgment that we deserve. He became His own sacrifice to give us a free chance at being saved. The Cross does not negate our need for salvation. It fulfills it while acknowledging our need for a sacrifice to make us acceptable to G-d.

The Cross contains G-d's righteousness and justice with His mercy and forgiveness. He is the just Judge as well as the gentle Savior. You cannot have one without the other; they are two aspects of the one G-d.

Answer 6

Hiya rage-o. It has something to do with the firing of neurons and axons in your brain having a parallel consciousness in another dimension. And that parallel consciousness goes to a city with a street of gold. Or something.

Answer 7

God is loving, but what he loves are his perfect humans that he first created. Since we became sinners, he hates the sin to the point where he could not stand for us to be with him. Thus Jesus...to take away that sinful part of man.

Even though God is loving, he is also just. He will not judge anyone harshly unless that is what His justice says needs to be done.

Answer 8

God loves all his children... so only God can judge and know, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

God Bless....

Answer 9

It is the law of God. We cant make it to heaven if we have sinned, and since everyone sins, we need a way around that. God made a way, he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins that we (through righteous living and repentance) can gain eternal life in heaven.

Answer 10

well, I don't know about that.

I believe more on what the Buddha said:

"Be a light unto thyself"
