Does the God of Christianity = the God of Love? Or the God of Destruction? Please explain.?

Question

I've read the Bible. Been raised by it. Sunday school, Youth group, Bible study, etc., etc., What god of love would sacrifice his own son??? Has the sacrifice of Jesus meant anything after all these years? No. Even the Jews (his own people) deny Jesus. The Jews are busy counting the riches they've accumulated in the name of Jesus and still deny him as their enemies do. They will fight each other to the death if need be. There is no reason for the rest of the world to get involved unless they are asking for trouble. The U.S. alliance with Israel was the main reason for the World Trade Center bombings. The U.S. alliance with Israel is an Economic alliance. Remember that.

And it's pissing everyone else off bad.

Muslims didn't hate us so much until we were smooching the butts of Jews.

Answer 1

The Bible says that God is love. Another aspect of God's personality is justice. God is a just God. He will expect those who come to Him to repent of their sins and accept the atonement of Jesus. The Bible clarifies what sin is and and those who wish to attain salvation should take of advantage of the loving provision of the blood of Christ, made to reconcile us to God. God is a God of love but one must remember He is also just and WILL judge sin!

Look at it this way, you have a compassionate judge in court, and into court comes a man who has clearly broken the law. Should this compassionate judge overlook the law just because he feels sorry for the man who broke it? Most people would say no. Why? Because the man broke the law and justice would call for him to pay for what he did. The judge who overlooks the law would not uphold justice if he were to overlook the laws that were broken?..... Would he?
How much more is it important for God who loved us so much He sent His son to pay for our sins to demand justice for sin? If a person chooses not to have their sins paid for by accepting Christ and what was done for them at Calvary, it is their choice however God will require payment for sin. Jesus' blood is the ONLY thing that can cover our sins! God gave the very best He had for us.....His son!

God=love
God=justice
God=mercy
God=deliverance

Edit: Whether or not the whole world is angry with Israel, the land has always belonged to the sons of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God promised it to them and NO ONE else has a right to this land! This is their land only! This is where Christ will come and rule on the throne of David, his forefather! All nations will be blessed through the nation of Israel! We should support Israel. The land was treated as a garbage dump before the Jewish people got it and they were smart enough to make it what it is because God blessed them! They turned it into a beautiful country! Make no mistake........the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people..........forever! It does not look like you read your Bible enough because if you had you would know the importance the Jewish people play in Jesus taking the throne in Israel and ruling for 1000 years! If not for the precious blood of the Lamb of God YOU would not have a chance for redemption. The Bible says there is NO ONE good! That all have fallen short! Thank God for His mercy!

Answer 2

World has only one God. Have you heard of more than one President, or more than one Prime Minister of any country, or more than one CEOs or multiple fathers of a child, or multiple mom of a child. There are no separate Gods of all religions or races. . This is such a simple basic Principal that world was created by one God and he is the only God that runs this world. People have different views of God based on how they have been taught.

For example few blind tell what Elephant is after feeling an elephant in a zoo.

One said Elephant a very wide and tall Pillar, another one said elephant is a great big vacuum cleaner, another one who felt elephant's ear said it is a great big odd shaped plate etc. etc.

People talk feel and think about God as they have heard about his different attributes. Some say Muslim/s God is violent and cruel because He had to kill the bad people to establish the Islam through His Prophet Mohammad. Christians say their God is loving because Jesus didn't have to fight any war and didn't fight back to Romans because God sent him only to test the Jews one last time and God already had plan to take him up to heaven and return him back on earth later to fight a war. May be when Christians see that Jesus killed so many Jews (according to Prophesy) then Christians will change his title from Loving God to Warrior God or some thing else like that.

Answer 3

God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

Answer 4

Of course God is God of Love, don't confuse that all those people in the world "Jews, Muslims" are fighting wars "for God". That is completly wrong. God never said, go and have wars instead he said "love each other and your enemy as I loved you". He loves us so much as he permitted his son Jesus to come to the world and be killed by unbelievers. The sacrifice you do in this life put on God's hands as an offering and will be compensated in the heaven. Because it is easier to give what you don't need anymore than what you really loves. God gave us an example with his son. Another example: It is more worthy for God if you give the only you have as alms. Remember that you can not love nothing and nobody more than God. First commandment: "Loves to God all over things in the world".

And finally to add, do you know why we feel like we don't find the real love from nobody? that after sometime we want to change our boyfriend? Because we come from a saint life before we have born in the earth. We came from saintity and we are looking for pure love. Real love is not from this world, perfect love, pure love comes from the source of Love. God is the source of Love. If you are not connected to the source, if your boyfriend is not too, you won't find the real love. After that, when you find it in other good person connected to God, you won't be bored in your relationship, you will love that person and he will love you forever. Because Love comes from the eternity source of love which is God.

Be blessing, don't be confused, the evil tries to confuse people on the world and tries to apart you from God. Watch up!

Answer 5

Well technically God is God, with no beginning and no end, always was always is, all knowing etc. But in the Old Testament he does many things which make him seem like a "God of Destruction" and in the New Testament he is more like a "God of Love" especially because he sent his son to die on the cross for humankind so that we can be redeemed of our sins.

I think it would be more appropriate to say that He is the "God of Justice" because the "destructive" things he does, he does for the overall good. Also, we are supposed to forgive each other and not hold grudges because God will give "proper punishment" to those who have wronged us. So I would say he's a God of Justice/Good who ultimately does everything that he does for the overall good of mankind.

Answer 6

We may read the bible every day and claim its profound glory five times a day, the question is however, do we understand the message it bears? Has the message of Christ been hidden by the interpretation of man? Do you not see that God sent his son to deliver a message to a people that he knew would reject him? Do you not see this fufills what was written before hand?God is many things to many people how are we to recognise love unless we also rrecognise hate? How will we know death if we never come to know life? If we fill our time and our minds with the affairs of those all around us how will we ever come to know ourselves? god dwells within and he is what we percieve him to be.

Answer 7

Wow, that's a lot to explain! But a very good question. I could answer, but it would be a very long answer. I hope this helps. There's a christian author and minister who is really well versed on issues like this. His name is Ravi Zacharias. If you want to check out his website, just click the link. I think he has a Myspace page too, with audio clips of his sermons. If you don't find enough about what he has to say about this issue there, then I'd advise you to keep looking. There's also a book by a former aetheist named Lee Strobel called "The Case For The Real Jesus". You should check that out too.

Answer 8

God is Love=Love is God. God does not make anything "DO" anything as in destruction. The Books that explain that God had destroyed something was written by the Human ego which equated Human traits of Anger, shame, quilt, hate, embarrassment, etc.. with a God. I know that God does not care for anything like that. I hope you find your path.

Answer 9

The Creator and Powerful God of all who believes in His Son Jesus Christ is a loving and righteous God, who can be able to save you,and the same time, can judge and destroy you. Every believers in Christ is made as "earthen vessel" or a "clay pot". We are created by God and can be used by God and also can be destroyed by God. No one can questions God of what He can do as Lord and Master.

If He is a Master of our life, therefore we are slaves to that Master. The Master has all the rights but the slaves don't have any rights at all. "Doulos" in greek means bond slave and was bought by the master for his pleasure and purpose. How much the slave worth? Believers as slaves are paid by a precious blood of Christ. Therefore, the slave do not questions the master for he has nothing but to obey the master.

So what is Jesus then to you??? Master or not...and what are you the??? Slave or not... it is your call.

God of Christianity= Hasatan (adversary) or Satan!
All the religions of the earth are man made. The Bible the book we all read from......is the book of the Israelites. The name of the one and only creator is Yah. The name of the messiah is Yahusuah and not Jesus. The name of the messiah means Yah's salvation in Hebrew or the salvation of Yah.
