If God unconditionally loves us, shouldn't he give unbelievers a place even better than Heaven?

Question

If my girlfriend would leave me, what would be a more loving thing for me to do?

1) Hope she will never find a guy again, and also hope her house burns down, and hope she will die a tragic death

2) Hope she'll find a better guy that could even make her happier than I did (I know it's impossible for her to find a better guy, but it's a hypothetical question, gosh)

Answer 1

Personally, I'd go for
3) Sabotage her future relationships so that she will never know true love again. That b*tch will come crawling back, and then we shall live forever together. I will show her the candid pictures I took of her over the last 12 years using hidden cameras in her apartment and she will fall in love all over again.

But this isn't the Singles&Dating section, why do you ask?

Answer 2

You've asked a great question....what does 'unconditional love' mean in context? The answer is easily understood by analogy. Putting abusive situations aside, let's look at an average parent with good parenting skills. Such a parent loves his or her child unconditionally. In this context, nothing the child can do will alter the level and conviction of the love of the parent towards that child. However, AS A NECESSARY RESULT of that love, the parents establishes rules and limits and when the child misbehaves, or does something dangerous, the parent, wholly out of love, is forced to discipline the child, often with something that brings real physical or emotional pain. The parent who constantly indulges a child and never disciplines their child doesn't love them unconditionally, but rather lacks any concept of true love. Pain, both physical and emotional, is a necessary component that shapes each person. The most successful people, by any measure one chooses, has undergone many trials and tribulations to get where they do. Those who have all obstacles removed for them, who have never known discipline are, generally speaking, society's failures. As for the second part of your question, which can be restated as why do bad things happen to good (or innocent) people? this is a most difficult topic, especially when trying to explain the horrible lives of many innocents. Let me try to answer this, in part, with a real story. A couple I once knew tried for over ten years to have a child. Finally, after much anguish, they conceived and had a son. Unfortunately, the child was profounding disabled, both physically and mentally. Instead of dispairing, this couple not only gave their son their total attention and love (I've never seen a happier child), they also started a foundation to help other families in the same position. I asked them how they did it....they said that their son is a complete blessing. Without him, or with a normal child, they believe that they would have remained the generally selfish people they were growing up. Their son, however, taught them how to give of themselves and they found a nearly endless capacity to give. Sadly, their son passed away when he was 14, but they've remain the most giving people I've known. Through their son, they believe God gave them a test to be better people. They passed. While this is just one example and there are literally millions that don't turn out as well, this doesn't mean that God loves us any less or loves them any less. We are all here for a purpose that only God knows. Those of us who are fortunate in life must make every effort to help those who don't have our advantages. God is a giver....and He wants us to be givers as well. As an individual, we don't have the capacity to help everyone in need. But even making one life better is a great accomplishment in this life.

Answer 3

No because then you would make God a liar. That would probally be considered an abomination by him and his answer to that is you are an unbeliever and he says the destiny of unbelievers is a lake of fire.

2) Hope she'll find a better guy that could even make her happier than I did (I know it's impossible for her to find a better guy, but it's a hypothetical question, gosh)

because we are instructed not to desire evil on another and vegence is up to God to decide.

Answer 4

Tell U what, after U finish making something Better than Heaven (out of NOTHING mind U) I don't think God would mind U living there when U die, just sneak off to it for Eternity! John

Answer 5

God's love IS conditional.

Romans 2:12 For instance, all those who sinned without law will also perish without law; but all those who sinned under law will be judged by law. 13 For the hearers of law are not the ones righteous before God, but the doers of law will be declared righteous. 14 For whenever people of the nations that do not have law do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law, are a law to themselves. 15 They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them and, between their own thoughts, they are being accused or even excused. 16 This will be in the day when God through Christ Jesus judges the secret things of mankind, according to the good news I declare.

When a child picks up a baseball bat and bashes your skull in, what is the more loving thing to do:

1: restrain the child to prevent it from hurting other people, even to the point of being placed in a mental hospital?

2: Talk to the child in a calm voice and offer him ice cream while he cleans the blood from his bat and starts walking towards you?

God gave us the choice in how to deal with the child while we are on this planet. Which choice would you make?

Why would God let people whose choices he thinks are really dumb live in his house? Why would God build an even better house for people whose choices he thought were really dumb?

Why not just give people a choice? Make good decisions, live in a nice house. Make bad decision and live in a crappy house.

Answer 7

John 2 :17 Furthermore the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.

John 3 :16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-beggotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.

John 3:36 Please read yourself.

Answer 8

My ex-girlfriends must not have unconditionally loved me. I always got the rot in hell schtick.

Answer 9

Any parent who treated his children like the putative god treats his 'creation' would have them removed forthwith.

Answer 10

God loves all of us, that's why he cares about our beliefs.When you don't belive in God, you prevent yourself from being with him.Heaven means being with God and hell means being away from God.Why don't you want to beieve in someone who loves you and is your creator?
