Things I've always wanted to know about God the creator?

Question

Modesty -

Here I have created a really nice body - Now hide it ------what is up with that


Here are 10 things you are never to do - Or I will burn you forever - Because I love you

What is up with that one ?


God gets mad and drowns all but 8 people -

Couldn't he have tried "talking to them" first?

Jesus commands us to love our enemy - But Jesus plans to toast his enemies for eternity in a lake of fire -

Isn't that just a wee bit hypocritical of him ?

And if it is true that god is watching us when we masturbate - wow isn't he quite the little pervert - Does he get off on this ??????

I mean even Santa has the common decency to look away -

Answer 1

Created everything, but not evil.

Knows everything, but can't be blamed for your actions.

Had his 4th creation kill it's 3rd.....I guess living in God's garden, and truly having a personal relationship with God doesn't instill enough morals to know to not kill your brother.

But that's not God's fault.

Answer 2

Modesty - because men are visually stimulated & women shouldn't be stimulating strange men in public. It leads to rape, fornication, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, etc.

10 Commandments - not too different than your parents giving you rules to live by NOT because they want to restrict you or bind you but because they love you & want to protect you. Aren't you glad you're mother taught you not to play in the road?

God didn't drown anyone. Satan is the prince of this earth. He is at work all the time. This is but one example.
Job 2:2 And the LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it."

1 Peter 5:8 "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."

We are to love our neighbors so that we may win our neighbors to Christ. People won't talk to you if they know you hate them. That's just common sense.

God is God. Creator of the universe. Creator of you & me. Who are we to call Him hypocritical? It's His rules. His laws.

Answer 3

Wow. Good questions.

Nice body thing? You have to remember that God did supposedly reveal our bodies, but it was us who were so ashamed of ourselves. I think that nudity could make us very horny people too lol. And I don't know if that would help us with things like "Thou shall not commit adultry." So maybe it's a good thing that we wear clothes... keeps us warm too ;)

10 things? It *is* because He loves you! That is exactly why, and it's the only reason why. God's purpose for creating us was that He could have someone in His own image to love, and hopefully, they'd love Him back and find fellowship in Him. However, the Ten Commandments were designed to keep us looking to God rather than our own self-righteous desires (ie. love affairs, getting revenge by killing your boss, not going to Church cuz you think you want to sleep in lol, etc.) So, yes, it's because He loves you, and He wants you to love Him back rather than turn away to yourself.

Drowning people? So many people have asked questions about Noah's Ark, and I always change my spiel just a lil bit... The Creation Stories and Noah's Ark are not to be taken literally. They were not written as historical data from the time would've been written, but rather, they were written like myths. Historians have already traced the roots of these stories to the Yahwist and Priestly writers from the Babylonian Exile of the Israelites. These stories were written like inspirational letters to fellow exiles to keep the faith strong in those harsh times. And now you might ask, "Why would someone portray God as killing all those people?" Well, they wanted to encourage the Israelites and show them how their God always triumphs over their enemies (since they were being held captive by their enemies, the Babylonians).

First of all, I think you have to understand that there are many different interpretations of Hell; the lake of fire is just one of them. However, the main idea behind Hell is that you are eternally separated from God, and that alone is the greatest suffering possible. Jesus does love His enemies, but He gives His enemies the free choice between salvation or eternal seperation from Him. His enemies go to Hell because *they chose Hell.* They have denied Jesus as their savior, so He doesn't have to save them if they don't want to be saved.

Masturbation? Uhhh... that's a funny one. Maybe God doesn't watch, but He still knows what you're doing. He doesn't have to watch you in order to necessarily always be with you.

Answer 4

1.) God originally did reveal man and woman's bodies, but remember, it was man who became ashamed of his body and hid himself.

2.) God doesn't send people to hell, people send themselves to hell. You follow the devil, you go with the devil. The way out is by accepting God as your Savior because there must be a sacrifice to pay for the sins and He is the only price big enough to save you.

3.)How do you know He didn't try talking to them? Also, many of the people were half demon/ half human and would have destroyed the human race if they had been allowed to live.

4.)Jesus also said He was willing to forgive anyone who came to Him. He told His enemies this and expects us to do the same. If our enemies are unware of His salvation, they are in an age of innocence and go to heaven anyway. Again, He doesn't send them to Hell, they send themselves. Hell is prepared for Satan and his demons, humans just follow them there.

I understand where your questions are coming from, and I hope you get the answers you need. I've often wondered those questions, but it will come in time if you do an honest analysis. Read the Bible and other sources you may not agree with. At least try it before you knock it.

Answer 5

This is a very interesting question. Makes me think of a couple of answers...
First, with the clothing. God made Adam and Eve perfect creatures. Yes, we were supposed to live our days the same way we were born: naked. Of course, Adam and Eve ruined everything by disobeying and bringing sin into the world. By the way, it wasnt God's idea for us to be clothed. When God went looking for Adam, he was hiding and he told God, "I hid from you because I was naked- and very embarrassed".
God loved him so much he had to make him clothing to cover up his 'shame'. So, humans get the chance to be naked forever- normally, and we go and blow it for a tiny bite. What's up with that?!
2. The ten things are not only what we shouldnt do. They're also things we should do, and not for our harm or damage, but for our benefit and well-being. What would the world be like if it said, 'Thou shalt murder'. Well, there goes a loving God, right? Good thing it doesnt say that. Otherwise there would be waaay more dead people and crmininals out there than there already are. The Comandments are a way of keeping us away from sin. God will do away with sin, and if we dont do away with it, we will perish along with it. I think that's fair enough.
3. God did not drown all but 8 people. Those 8 people were smart enough to listen to him and save themselves. God only spoke to one- the other seven heard him. Including the wives of his sons who could have just said he was crazy. God doesnt have to talk directly to you to tell you something. It is about having faith and not being ignorant. Besides, Noah preached for 120 years! And all people did was laugh and mock him. Well, I dont know about you, but they were pretty stupid. I mean, 120 years of warning and you do NOTHING about it??? What's up with that???!!!!
4. He commands us to love both our friends and our enemies. He will not 'toast' his enemies because he hates them. We have been given plenty of time to repent and do the right thing. Those who choose not to will die not because they are hated by God, but because they chose to be friends of sin instead. God doesnt hate those who hate him. He loves all. But in order for the righteous to have eternal life, he must do away with sin, and those who practice it. Remember, God loves the sinner but hates sin.
But then again, we are given constant warning and messages of love from God and all we do is question it. What's really up with that??

Answer 6

the first is saying to be modest and don't boast about looks.

the second is referring to the ten commandments and that if u don't u will burn in hell.

god told Noah to tell everyone to board the ark before the flood so everyone was warned and the survivors were the ones who listened.

he is saying to love your enemies, but that since Jesus is God all of God's enemies will live in hell.


learn more before u criticize.

Answer 7

YOU created a really nice body????

The Ten Commandments include both shalls AND shall nots

God sends NO one to hell - its inhabitants run headlong into it because they love the world, their flesh and the darkness rather than the Light.

In the flood, God saved the most faithful man, Noah and his family. Today He also saves the most faithful. Does that include U???

Jesus "toasts" no one - see above

You are the hypocrite and the liar - neither God nor Jesus

Answer 8

He doesn't reject us it's the other way around.

When the people saw Noah building this gigantic Arc and knew he was a man of God they decided to ignore the warning because they loved sin.

If you had a peaceful spread and a bunch of rebel=rousers wanted to bust in and start trouble and not follow the rules, would you let them in?

Answer 9

Maybe God sees sin as much more devastating than you do.
Where do you get the idea that God loves everyone? Certainly not in the Bible. God did not drown people out of anger but because "every imagination was only evil continually". God created man to be righteous but now they were totally committed to evil. As I said, maybe God sees evil as much more devastating than you do.

Answer 10

Everything thinks God is perfect. When we decide in our opinion (right or wrongly) that-He is not, some of quit believing in him. But parents are not perfect. Teachers are not perfect. Doctors certainly are not perfect. Maybe, "God is one of us, just a slob like one of us, just a stranger on a bus trying to make His way home." Cut Him the same slack you would cut any one who trys real hard and do what you can to perfect His Universe. Its only the Betta version anyway.

Answer 11

The hypocritical thing in here, is for you to expect a reward from God, when you never ever did nothing to get it.

You want to get an A on an exam without even been to class or study at all?

Not, my friend, it does not work like that.

Take care.
