Why is the Christian and Muslim God so weak?

Answer 1

thats just how God planned it.....God wants to test our patience with these things,to see how strong we are
yea i know its terrible but remember, with every hardship,there comes ease

Answer 2

I don't know which Muslims or Christians you have been talking to, but those I know don't say those things are the will of God, or condemn the sufferers as terrible sinners, or that they're lacking faith. That's the line the Jewish rulers of Jesus' day were saying, and he openly rebuked them.

On the contrary, all the things you mentioned are the result of sin, brought about the devil. He's too much of a coward to own up to his deeds, so he influences people to blame God. If it weren't for the restraining hand of God still upon this world because his people live here, what you see now would be paradise compared to what the devil would make this world if he was in total control.

God is anything but weak. He has to let the devil run his program so that we can see for ourselves what the devil's all about. See and have nothing to do with it, but if we still choose the devil's way after the demonstrations he's putting on as you outlined so well, we have only ourselves to blame if we are destroyed together with the devil and his angels some day soon. No one is going to call God "weak" then.....you'll be crying for the rocks and mountains to hide you from his wrath.

Answer 3

Let's take a look at your statement:

""And these people say it must be the will of God
-or that the people who suffer must be sinners.
-Or they must not have had enough faith.
sick... this makes me sick .""

False.

Let's take it apart further:
-------------------
"And these people say it must be the will of God "

God loves every single human being that has, does, and will ever exist. He would NEVER do things to hurt his own creation. It goes against his very nature.
--------------------
"-or that the people who suffer must be sinners. "

Christians and Muslims suffer just as much as anybody else. Why is that? It's because we are ALL sinners. Nobody on this Earth aside from Christ himself has ever been perfect, and never will be.
----------------------
"-Or they must not have had enough faith."

Like I said before, we are all imperfect sinners. There is no group of people who is more 'elite' or better than anybody else. There is also no level of faith that we can achieve to avoid pain and suffering.


To answer your question, God does not cause suffering and hardship in the world; Sin causes it.

We have free will, meaning that we have a choice to live for God, or to live for the world. Ever since the fall of man (Adam & Eve's choice to disobey God, in Genesis 3) we have been imperfect and full of sin.

What makes you think that God likes to see all of the problems in the world? The reason why he can't just swoop in and clean it (all of life's problems) all up with a wave of his hand, is because to do that would mean violating the very same free will that he gave us.

Answer 4

God and or Goddess in any faith, is only as weak as you believe them to be, because neither exist unless you want them to exist and if you do believe in them and you see them as weak then that is what they will be to you. The gods are in my opinion a reflection on ones self. So if you see yourself as weak, which not many will admit to, then your God/Goddess is just as weak. And as for the folks that say folks say that it's God's will doesn't make God or Goddess sick but more the folks themselves are sick. Don't hate on the deity, hate on the idiots like Politicians and Religious leaders letting this keep going on and keep telling us we need to stay the course or that you are less of an American if you feel differently then what the status quo says you should.

Answer 5

We do the two worship a similar god. all of the Abrahamic religions worship a similar god- Allah's a be conscious for god, same as Christians say God or Lord- it is not a recognition. Christians have self assurance Jesus grow to be the god incarnate- he grow to be a area of the god which grow to be grew to become into flesh. Neither Jews nor Muslims believe that, yet Muslims have self assurance Jesus grow to be a prophet whose teachings have been misinterpreted by capability of Christians (your element approximately them being against taking Jesus as a god), and that Muhammed (pbuh) grow to be a prophet (which Christians and Jews do not believe). same roots, same god, diverse prophets, plus Christians have a god avatar.

Answer 6

But all those things had been going on since the beginning; and I don't think it's the will of God.
If a Mighty God gave us the sun and a wonderful Earth as a home, could we at least take some responsibility for the stupid errors we have made?
If you would check carefully all the evils you have named, you will see all of these were man made.
Now stop blaming God with your whining and fix your home...or God will surely take it away.

Answer 7

Maybe He's saving a real big surprise in the end, when he'll show his real power.

Maybe what you mentioned is still too little for him.
He will make it up for the victums, punich the criminals, and reward the good people in a way that is beyond any one's imagination.

By the way he had shown his power in several occasion. Do you remember Katrina or Tsunami? No nation on earth was able to do much about it. But it was a time for the good people to show how good they are. And it showed bad the bad people are. God was watching & he'll have a word about it.

Answer 8

Said God is not weak at all. It is man that is weak. Man is so weak minded that he cannot perceive the control structure that God put in place to govern things. We call it Nature. Everything else, Man inflicts upon himself.

People, as you refer to them, are wrong. It is not directly the Will of God at all, it is the Will of Man! Not surprising that that would make you sick, it makes me sick too! Later God will visit His will upon us and then you will see the difference!

Answer 9

The Christian God is not weak. All the things you mentioned happen because the atheist and muslim's god, satan, is the ruler of this world at the present time. The Christian God is showing patience before His judgment. When He acts you will see power as never before.

Answer 10

I'm having trouble with your hidden hypothesis about Christianity (I'll not speak for Islam). That is not exactly what the Bible teaches. Furthermore, what about the influence of evil? One possible explanation for some of these events is that sinful people are very busy causing mayhem and destruction.

If you were a doctor, you would have missed the disease.

Answer 11

You can’t blame it on GOD!!!!! Jeez you people just don’t GET THE PICTURE. Hay I have a question, why the heck aren’t YOU doing anything about it either? You could become a nurse for the Red Cross, you could give money to charity, etc… you’re being pretty weak too.
