Think about this: Why would someone say god "inspired" them into doing something or going somewhere, when the same could be said about atheists or homosexuals. Why couldn't god have led them into doing what they chose to do? What makes that situation a particular "wrong choice" that goes against god, but when you make a descision that benefits you, you say god guided you there and/or inspired you?

I was once told, by a Catholic girl, that I was put on Earth, by God, to test the faith of Catholics.
So, see? We ARE part of God's plan.

It does sound confusing when we hear things like you can do nothing without the power of God. Now this is something different than the will of God. If you are choosing to do the will of God you are using your own free will to do so. God does not take away our free will.
Homosexuality is a choice, often made by children unknowing what they have even done. These children can even forget making the choice and come to believe they were born gay. Choices are by influences and experimentation. Being an Atheist is also a choice from free will.
Now God may use a homosexual or atheist in His plan, but not as Gods will for that person to be that way. That is all about free will.
Talking about influences. Jesus Christ said we are fighting not among ourselves but against powers and principals. If we knew all the influences we had we would be able to make different choices sometimes, but as long as you are with God, through Jesus Christ you will have the full armor of God.

It says right in the Bible that a man should not lie with another man as he lies with a woman. And he also says that you should not worship anything other than him. If you are atheist or homosexual you choose to be that way. However, God would not lead someone to go against his Word. Although, if you were atheist or a homosexual God could forgive you for that and also he could use that in the person's life to witness to people (if the person decided to find God). Everything happens for a reason. And God can't FORCE you to do anything. So why is it that God can only guide you to good things? Well because if he didn't he would be telling you to go against his Word pretty much. Even if you did decide to be atheist or homosexual... God would and will forgive you. But you have to ask for it. Idk if i answered your question... but you can ask me any questions about God and i could attempt to answer them.

I believe the problem lies in communcation problems.
When a Christian says that God "led them" to do something, generally speaking, it means that the Christian prayed, sought God, read the Bible, and asked for counsel from other godly men or women. The big emphasis on this, if nothing else, is praying to seek God's will, and reading the Bible to understand God's general will.
I don't think that either atheists OR homosexuals do this (IMHO), though I MAY be wrong.
And for ME at least, it's not what benefits ME, but when I am inspired to help someone ELSE, that would benefit the OTHER person, not me.
Does that help to understand?

motives why human beings say those issues is by using the fact they have not seen themselves interior the replicate of Gods regulation yet, yet element arms. Homosexuals purely have a distinctive sexual orientation, yet otherwise they're comparable to all and sundry else. interior the early church, the girl have been uncontrolled, subsequently the Apostle Paul giving this coaching to the church. those stupid human beings have not any know-how whilst quoting from the Bible. they simply use it to serve their very own faith and doctrines. God is not any respecter of persons, no count if male or lady, he will use whoever obeys Him. this is the reason all and sundry could now be somewhat born back by the water and the Spirit. John 3:3-5 means, "If somebody desires to be born back, they could be born of water and the Spirit. right here water means the baptism of Jesus, which does away with each and all of the sins of the worldwide as quickly as and for all. The Spirit means that Jesus who gained baptism from John the Baptist is God Himself.”

Why would God lead someone to go against his will? Anything that goes against his commandments and the way he wants things to be, is certainly not his doing.

I have said this in response to many questions, and no one seems to hear me, but I will say it again. The official teaching of all Christian churches is that God chooses in some mysterious way who to save (by giving them faith in Himself) and who to damn (by not giving them such faith). This insanely cruel idea I repeat is universally accepted, and it of course amounts to saying just what you say, that atheists (as well as various non-Christians) are what they are because God chose that for them and then punishes them for it!!!!

God only leads and inspires people to do things that are in keeping what He has already told us in the Bible.
God told us what is sin in the Bible.
God will not lead some one to sin.

God inspired me to become an atheist.

God came down to me in a vision one day, and told me that my purpose in life was to be an atheist and to denounce God whenever and wherever possible. When I asked if I would still be going to Hell, he vanished...
