Does God Really Love us? Think about it.?

Question

How can you say God really loves you and we are all his children, when the same god is telling us he has also created satan to set traps for us. Remember this folks, the god almighty can stop satan and show us the right way, but wont. But when we fall into the traps promises you an eternity of burning, fire, anguish, painful, misery and not to metion all the other things he will do to you. NOW DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THAT GOD REALLY LOVES YOU. last time i checked my mother would never set me up like that, and I know my Mother Loves me. What do you people think

Look at the answers some people like No1home2 is giving me, are yo serious man.. He died for my sins, What else do i want from him?? how about just freaking get a microphone and tell the world he's the only and right god, so we can put an end to this religeous wars we that have taken millions of lifes on his name. Oh I forgot, your god really loves blood and torture, read the old testament. All we ask is a prove, why would he allow 2000 different religions to be practiced, and how the hell do you know your god is the right one out of the 2000 other gods??

NotEpicurus, you were so right, do you see all the free will bull being written here. and Lynn C, I hope you are as pretty as the picture you chose for your ID, because you are brainwashed beyong fixing. I can just picture believing everything you are told.

What in the world do you mean God gave me choice to choose, He gave me 2000 different religions to choose from and If I dont pick the right one, He'll burn me forever. Now you tell me what are my chances of picking the right one out of 2000. See you christians are assuming you are the right religion, Dont you understand every religion has its stories and is convinced they are the right one.

Answer 1

Prepare for a bunch of generic speeches about free will. (aka. Nonsense)

Answer 2

Yes, He does. Does your mother beat up the school bully that stole your lunch money? Does your mother still dress you, feed you, and tuck you in at night? There always comes a time when a child is mature enough to take care of him- or herself and a loving parent stops doing everything for him or her. I believe the human race, as a whole, has surpassed this point a long time ago. If you believe in God, then you believe in the concept of Free Will, and that for Free Will to exist, God can't be responsible for everything in your life. Even Satan has Free Will since he took it by rebelling against God. Remember, this is Earth, not Heaven. Bad things do, and will, happen here. If everything was perfect here, why would anyone bother trying to get into Heaven?

Answer 3

Yes God really does love us all. If your parents, who love you, give you good advice and tell you and show you whats right and good for you and you decide to do the opposite they still love you and want to help you but you have set things in motion that now is beyond their control. Yes in other words you have made your own choice. With every action comes a consequence either good or bad. God lets you choose. Believe it or not mankind is eternal and has a choice by his action where he will spend that time.

Answer 4

Part of the whole deal is that we are faced with opposition and in spite of that opposition still choose to follow God. If there was nothing to entice us otherwise, there would be no choices and no growth thus leading to a pointless existence.

EDIT:

Yes, I have studied and practiced different religions before and looked into other faiths, but no other religious founder has been able to compare to Jesus and what He did for his followers, freeing them from all evil and bringing them back to God's light, not through endless ritual and ceremony as other religions attempt to do, but by His own glorious death and Resurrection, healing us from the affects of sin and evil and reuniting us to the divine light of God...

Answer 5

Satan went off on his own, God did not make satan to be mean satan just wanted to be over God, not possible, God loves us so much that God said He wouldn't destroy all of us, God sent His Son Jesus to the Cross for OUR SINS, the ones we commit, now how is that not love, we don't even have to do anything, we didn't have to hang there being pierced with nails, Jesus never sinned, We do, but Jesus Christ paid the price for us, Now you tell me again How God does not love us, because I am not comprehending, when I know God loves you so much, He wants you to understand this right now.

Answer 6

what we find to be true about creation [nature] is also true about salvation. Like everything else in the world, salvation must be done correctly to be successful. For example, consider some examples of how life works, or doesn’t work:

What happens if you drive your car in reverse? Or stop in the middle of a busy freeway? What happens if you let your dog drive your car? Or if you drive on the wrong side of the road—or drive drunk?

The result of driving incorrectly is that you injure or kill yourself and others. Driving incorrectly sooner or later has consequences, even for the best driver in the world.

Consider learning math or having surgery. What if you try to learn math by reading comic books? What if you’re scheduled for a routine appendectomy and the surgeon takes out your brain instead? In either case, you’re in trouble.

If everything in the world must be done correctly to be successful, and if our lives are literally filled with examples of the problems caused for us when we do things incorrectly, why should we conclude that salvation is any different? Why should we conclude there wouldn’t be consequences for doing salvation wrong?

Do we say it is being narrow-minded, intolerant or bigoted for us to drive sober or for surgeons to operate on us properly? Indeed, our very lives may be at stake. And if our lives are already at stake in worldly things, isn’t it also possible that our souls may be at stake in spiritual things? But a life is only for a short period of time; a soul is forever.

Then how much more vital is it that we be certain that salvation be done correctly if our very souls are at stake? The point is that the Christian claim to exclusivity is not something that is out of harmony with how people experience life and with how the world functions.

Misconceptions about Hell
Many of the apparent difficulties with the doctrine of hell disappear when certain misconceptions are clarified. The first one, is a misconception of God's character. While Christians affirm unequivocally that God is essentially good and loving, it must be emphasized that complementary to these attributes is the characteristic of justice. A loving being that ignored evil or that treated bad acts and good acts equally would not be good. Hence, if God is good, then God is also just - he must treat evil as evil. So, if any creatures merited the existence of hell, then God could remain essentially good and loving by giving them justice, even if that means sending some creatures to hell.

A second misconception has to do with how one is "sent" to hell. Often objectors claim that God randomly picks people to be damned as if on a whim. Additionally, they envision that the one sent to hell is absolutely innocent in the matter and had nothing to do with the outcome. On the contrary, Christians have long held that hell is a choice that is made by the one who arrives there (e.g., in Matt. 7:13-14 Jesus says those who choose the broad path walk to destruction). Essentially, then, God does not send people to hell. Rather, people send themselves.

Answer 7

Your dad and mom raise you, they cloth and feed you to the best of their ability. You grow up, turn into a drunk, or drug addict, won't work, and just simply worthless. Is that your parents fault you turned out like you did? Does your mom and dad have the responsibility of furnishing you a place to live, clothes, and food and money, now, that you are grown and worthless? That is what you are saying about God. God gave man a free will to chose. He sent Jesus to break the bonds of satan. God didn't create sin, satan created sin.

Answer 8

Yes He does. He let satan to set traps for us but He gave a stronger self control to all of us. If you cannot use it, it's not God's fault. You are in the game, play smart!

Answer 9

Mankind is a species of delusional ideas and suggestions. All answers will end up being wrong with more methods of studys and everyone will be no better off than they were in the beginning.

Answer 10

Your definitely right he can stop Satan and show us the way, If we seek to know him through prayer and strive to have his spirit with us by keeping his commandments. Theres opposition in all things and its how we learn and become better people. Its sad to see you doubt gods love for his children.

Answer 11

I find it amazing that people keep accusing God of not stopping evil, but in the Bible, the two times He actually DID put a stop to evil, people whine and complain!

Come on now - God came to earth as Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to die for YOUR sins. What else does He have to do to prove His love for you?

I think the old saying is true, "You don't believe in God because you don't WANT to believe in God."
