Problem of God's omnibenevolence(all good)?

Question

To Christians: Why does God value his existence more than good deeds?

I mean, what makes a theist think that believing in a God (Jesus) would negate the possibility of committing evil deeds?

Just think about it, everyone (particularly babies) that done good deeds or less evil deeds that died before even knowing the existence of any God are restricted form going to heaven i.e. are send to hell, can this be the action of a omnibenevolent God? And if these people (non-believers) are exempted, then should be good deeds be enough?

Answer 1

if I think about it I would have rather died then know what I know now.

Answer 2

I'm not a Christian, sorry, but I would say that there are thousands of people who believe in God but still perform evil deeds at will. In my religion, babies are not punished for their deeds because they haven't yet developed proper concept of what is right and what is wrong. Babies dying at a premature age are send to heaven, not hell. God values good deeds but he has sent us in this world with specific reasons. We should have faith in God, perform good deeds, help others and bring peace and prosperity in this world.

I thought that every Christians are send to heaven automatically after death because Jesus was crucified when he was bearing all of their sins. But your question say something different, meaning that people of one religion are not aware of the beliefs and faiths of other religions, which is a recipe for extremism and something we should all look into.

Answer 3

(1) No person on earth can know or understand who gets into heaven or hell. Anyone who claims this has put himself in G-d's righteous shoes of judgment; which is a very ignorant claim to make.

(2) G-d does not send people to hell, he gives all people a choice in life, thus, they choose to go to hell or go to heaven.

(3) Is it possible that people would rather choose hell then heaven? Does hell always have to be defined as a place of torment? Couldn't it just be a place absent of G-d. Thus a place where individuals do what they want to do instead of indiviudals doing what G-d wants them to do. It is a good thought.

Answer 4

That doctrine is simply dogma,
The proof? it defies common sense, as you have presented.

God is not funky, the laws of this material nature are straightfoward, action causes reaction, and the eternal soul gets the results of activities, without fail

God's laws, in His sphere, are wholely and solely based on love.

Let's go there!!!

Answer 5

that's where you're stopping? you're barely scratching the surface...
how about original sin? how benevolent is it to blame so many generations for the sins of two people? how about Job, who had his life destroyed so god could make a point? how about all the people who didn't survive the flood with Noah? the little children that keep dying all over the Bible? i could go on all night.

Answer 6

Luke 18:16
But Jesus called the children to Him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
