Why do Christians feel compelled to fill the empty spaces with something called God?

Question

Can we not just leave the emptieness exactly as it is?

Just to clarify I like the empty spaces just fine. I wonder why people feel compelled to fill them?

Answer 1

all any religion is, is something to explain away the bumps in the night, the unknown, and make you feel better...

Answer 2

Why do Atheists feel compelled to fill the empty space in their heart questioning other peoples faith in God?


Can we not just leave that vast emptiness exactly as it is?

In time that vast emptiness will be filled with sorrow and pain beyond compare!

Answer 3

You can always do like some of the rest and fill it with alcohol and empty relationships and still fill empty! Or you could just leave it empty, but its never empty for long. You see satan just loves that empty space and he likes to fill it with hate and discontent and confusion. So you see the empty space is designed for something, but GOD gives you a free choice of what to fill it with! Oh and by the way that space must always have something in it because if left empty for long you die!

Answer 4

Because when the Holy Spirit comes in we just have to go with the flow. I wish all these people who knock it would just open up and see how good it is. There's only emptiness because something is lacking. There's a God shaped emptiness in everyone and nothing else can fill it.

Answer 5

The tendency here is to point the empty area is above the neck. .Sorry, this replaced into to no longer difficulty-free to bypass up. The fake God taught by potential of christianity is in basic terms surpassed in false impression by potential of the assumption of Atheists that God does not exist in any respect. .I regularly propose examining God's reality interior the Conversations with God books by potential of Neale Donald Walsch yet i think this could fall on deaf ears... God bless all besides..

Answer 6

God created us with a void that can only be filled with Him- there is emptiness enough in this life- why not have God make even places of emptiness worthwhile.

Answer 7

I rather be filled with god that what the world has to offer. Many people who feel something is missing turn to drinking, gambling or even worse, why would I want any of that. Those things take away from life God adds to it.

Answer 8

If you like emptiness, so be it, you can have it, its all yours.
Christians aren't "compelled", they just have what they have, something there anyway.

Why are you compelled to ask this question ?

Live and let live !
Peace !

Answer 9

were not filling in any empty spaces. we believe God has always and will always be there for everyone. Christians don't fill in empty spaces, you assume we do.

Answer 10

Because that's His name. See, to us that know Him, there aren't the empty spaces.

So a better question is: why do you have them when you don't have to?

Answer 11

umm we christians bleave and Know there is a God and there are lots of christians out there and when we die thoes who excepted Jesus into there hearts God will say "Well done thou good and faifull servent" you see we are on earth for a purpse to server and worship God and the gap in evryones lifes is a gap that needs to be filled by God and if it isint we wont be able to go into Hevan and I think you know the rest of the story.

James Chapter 4

Pride Promotes Strife
1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet[a] you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. 4 Adulterers and[b] adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:


“ God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”[c]

Humility Cures Worldliness

7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Do Not Judge a Brother

11 Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is one Lawgiver,[d] who is able to save and to destroy. Who[e] are you to judge another?[f]
Do Not Boast About Tomorrow

13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will[g] go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
