Can someone give me some religious words of wisdom?

Question

Can someone please tell me y disease and natural disasters exist in the world if God loves us so much.

also y people actually believe that symbolically eating the flesh of a magical jewish zombie will grant everlasting life.

also y the bible(the so called 'perfect' word of God) has so many contradictions and clear immoralities.

also why whenever i try to ask someone these questions they either get aggressive and insecure.

or just repeatedly redefine 'God's love' or 'God' or 'The word of God' or anything else they can think of.

also i am confused as to how many religious scholars (e.g. Thomas Aquinas etc.) state that survival for ON EARTH it is fundamental to believe in God.

Please, without redefining anything, give me some explanations.

by the way i am agnostic not atheist

Answer 1

Good luck.

Answer 2

Answer to First Question about the Suffering we go through.

It is often asked why is there suffering in the world if God is all powerful and loving. Why doesn't He stop it? Can He or is He weaker than we think? Suffering can fall into three simple categories: emotional, mental, and physical suffering. But, there are a variety of causes for suffering: morally corrupt (evil) people, disease, earthquakes, floods, famine, etc.
There are different explanations for why God allows suffering, but none of them can satisfy everyone.

Answert to # 2 Christianity does not teach eating Human flesh.


Answer to # 3 Bible contradictions ? There are no Contradictions, only to those who dod not understand it in it's correct context.
Bible difficulties, or apparent Bible contradictions, exist in the Bible and we need to be aware of them and know how to respond to them because the opponents of Christianity often use them in their attempts to discredit Christianity by invalidating the Bible.

Disease and disaster come by way of man's rebellion towards God.

Supppose faith in God is like a medicine. The closer you get to God, the more medicine you have to make you well.

Yet, the further away from God, the less medicine you have to make you well.

So you become sickly, corrupted, and all that you touch and do is corrupted as well.



You will come to find out that everything God allows to happen to you is an attempt to bring you to him. It is man who must decide to walk the path of righteousness towards God or to walk the path of unrighteousness which is the path of death.

Answer 4

oh here we go again, with the usualy, if God is all love then why do children get raped etc.. etc..
2 words
free will.
God does not desire to have fellowship with robots, or he would have created them instead of humans.
God is a just God, and every person that sins against him will have to give an account for what they did with their lives and be punished, a lot of the curses such as famine
pestilance, starvation etc.. are actually sowing what was reaped by evil civilizations many thousands of years ago
people fail to realize that places like Iraq is modern day for the ancient city of babylon, which practiced all sorts of abominations.
Do not just see the world in 1 dimension
God Bless

Total points:
429 (Level 2) because unfortunately there is also an enemy out there as well. God is not to blame for all the misfortune that we have. God is not to blame for deaths and disease. it is the enemy....and some on our own parts. greed....that is a great deal of our distruction. satan has no power unless we give it to him. God has given each and everyone of us a free will to do as we see fit. He is a perfect gentleman. He forces Himself on noone. people want to blame God when things go wrong in the world instead of taking a look in the mirror. God loves us enough that if we want to go kill ourselves....overdosing on herion...then He will not stop us. He is our Father...not our baby-sitter. Stop blaming God and start taking responsibility for your own actions....including everyone....taking responsibility for why the world is the way it is. hurricane katrina....people said....where is God? why God why? scientists have been warning for years about global warming but do greed and slothful humans care? no...its all about money and everyone has to pay. So...don't use God as a scapegoat for all the troubles that we...puffed up....high and mighty...egotistical....greedy humans bring on ourselves.


by the way...im glad you asked this question because it serves many that think that same way.

God bless honey....remember all good things come from God. If it is bad...it is not of God. He does love you.

Answer 6

The tone of your question is more negative than positive. That tells me that your question is not as sincere as it could or should be. That said, I will need a great deal of space to set forth for you the Plan of Salvation starting with the grand counsel in heaven before the world was formed when God presented His plan to His children, all of us, for our eternal progressiong to become as He is. He proposed that we should come to earth, gain mortality, have a veil of forgetfulness drawn across our minds, and live by faith, exercising our agency to choose right from wrong, to learn from our mistakes and then to repent to become more like He is. In order for us to return to His presence, we would need a savior to atone for our mistakes. Jesus was chosed for that purpose. Lucifer was angry because his alternate plan was rejected. He offered to bring us all back home and not a soul would be lost. That would have eliminated our agency and we would have had no growth or learning from the experience. Thus, Lucifer was cast out of heaven to roam the earth spending his existence trying to persuade the rest of us to turn against God and follow him instead. Thus, there is opposition in all things because as Christ leads us to that which is good, Lucifer tempts into that which is bad.
Bringing that back to earth as we know it, mortals are prone to do evil because or our carnal nature and lack of obedience to God. In other words, people, exercising their agency in this life, cause bad things to happen to themselves and to those around them. Those of us that believe in God and Christ try to live according to the teachings we have been given to love one another and make life better. Christ is the corner stone of our faith because He was the one chosen from before the foundations of the world to effectuate the atonement that enables us to return to God's presence. God, in His mercy, has made provisions for all of His children to eventually hear the Gospel plan and thus be able to choose for themselves to accept it or not. If not in this world, then in the spirit existence to follow.
The only contradictions in the scriptures comes from the fallable thinking of mankind. Disease and disaster is part of the natural world we live in. Only through total conversion of the people to the gospel can we do away with much of the injustice we see around us. That is why we teach of the Millenium being a thousand years of peace because the hearts of the people alive in that time will be full of the Gospel of peace that Satan will have no influence over the people and Christ will reign personally upon the earth.
When you learn the full story, it all makes sense.
Please ask more.
