Where is god?

Question

When i was 7 years old, i completely believed in god. I even became reborn just to try and be closer to him. I praised him and exalted his name. l prayed to god let my father stop beating my mother all the time. I did not ask for the abuse against me to stop because the bible taught me that would be for personal gain. The abuse never stop, it became worse. It took me 38 years to overcome the psychological damage i suffered as a child. My mother is a broken woman today. When my prayers was not answered i researched the origins of the god concept. It is then that i realised how my hope and trust in a god was created by the men who made these religious doctrines. There is no god! I am annoyed because i wasted a lot of fruitless energy believing in a non-existent god. Don't you realise the harm you cause when you make little children believe in a god that does not exist? Especially children who are being abused or who have to live in the streets or from welfare.

Answer 1

you have my up-most respect and as a perfect anti-dote to religious fanatics who would rather believe blind faith than in making their own destiny in the short time they are on this earth, your story should be a inspiration and a warning to everybody.The proof is in larrydafs answer to your story ,does that sound like a man who's god is all caring ,loving ,and open to all mans opinion's ( i.e free will) or a bitter and vindictive one who can't see past his own blind faith and see the pain and heartache in your story.

Answer 2

I'm sorry you had a horrible life. God did not do these things to you or your mother. Satan is the ruler of this world right now. It was his influence, not God's that caused your pain. Sin entered the world, and thus, evil entered in. When Jesus returns, He will take His people with Him (all believers) and they will not live in suffering anymore. He is the Blessed Hope we wait for. My life hasn't been great, either. A lot of horrible things have happened to me. I know God has always been with me, though. If He hadn't, I would not be alive today. I can understand your anger, and so can God. What do you think Jesus went through on this earth? He suffered more than anyone ever could, and why? Because HE LOVES US. He came and died a horrible death on the cross, after being flogged and beaten and ridiculed and tortured until He didn't even appear human anymore. No man has suffered more than this. And He DIED for us. Please believe that. And if you do, He will take you to be with Him, and you will suffer no more. He will wipe every tear from your face, and you won't even remember this life you had on earth. He promised us, and He has never broken a promise. He saw you when you went through all your pain, and He was with you. He never promised not to let you go through anything bad, just that He would be with you when you did. If you don't let Him into your heart, then how can He help you? It is your choice. Believe me, if you choose not to believe, then the suffering you had on this earth will be nothing compared to the suffering you will have in the Lake of Fire. Please don't turn your back on Him. He loves you with a love so deep, that He died for you. Don't forget about that. He died for you. Jesus said "There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down His life for a friend." And that's exactly what He did for you and me. I love Him with all my heart, because He first loved me. I pray that you find your way back, and that you are saved by His wonderful, merciful grace. God is real. His name is Jesus Christ, and He loves you so much. May you come to know Him like I do. God bless

Answer 3

God is real I can understand you had a hard life but you know what so did I. When I was a baby I had open heart surgery my heart is still not very good I was knocked over by a car when I was 5 I then got sexually abused by a family member for a few years and when I was 13 I got rapped I also grew up seeing my dad beat my mother up and have affairs and I got beat up many times to so bad that I bled I have had eve more but the list is endless but its all about Faith I believe in God and I think his also done wonders in my life it was not God that was behind these people that have hurt me so much in my life as just as I believe in god I believe in lusifer and I believe he was behind it your mother and you might be broken today but you know what if you truely wanted to and you gave your life to God and trusted in him then he is the only person that can take that pain away as he has done for me I am now married and so happy and all because my husband took me to God my children believe in him and I see how much better they have become because of it. I have alos seen people who were bad in some ways change and this is people I never ever in a million years thought theyd change all because they let god into their lives. I hope you find your way back to God and Ill be praying that you do have faith it can change you forever! Good luck and God bless!

Answer 4

firstly,
The Answer: To answer is one thing, to accept is something quite different. Every supplication is answered, but its being accepted and exactly what was sought being given is dependant on Almighty God's wisdom.,
secontly,
See with what lofty wisdom and ordering affairs are managed, and with what true justice and balance transactions are effected! Now a wise polity requires that those who seek refuge under the protecting wing of the state should receive favour, and justice demands that the rights of subjects be preserved, so that the splendour of the state should not suffer. But here in this land, not a thousandth part of the requirements of such wisdom and justice is fulfilled; for example, empty-headed people such as yourself usually leave this realm unpunished. So again we say, matters are postponed for the consideration of a Supreme Tribunal

Answer 5

I wish I could say I disagree with you. God exists in the minds of people who cannot explain life but need to know an answer. If we just lived life without worrying about the existence of a God, this world would be a lot better.......

Answer 6

I think that the problem here is that you have been fed the belief that if there is a God then therefore bad things will never happen. If you believe that then yes it WILL be harmful to you and to ANYBODY including those children you speak of.

I don't know how anybody can read the Bible or the Qur'an and come to such a silly conclusion though. The fact is that Jesus was snitched on by his "friend" . Moses, after parting the Red Sea and leading the Jews out of slavery returned after a few days of prayer to find that his followers had forsaken everything he said. The story of Job is all about the trials that a believer endures. Muhammad was an orphan and was run out of town and many of his closest loved ones were killed. He had three sons none of whom survived childhood and his beloved wife died YEARS before he did. Noah had plenty of family problems as did Joseph whose brothers sold him into slavery.

There are MANY more stories in the Bible and the Qur'an about how those whom God FAVORED still suffered through trials and tribulations. One of the points of telling these tales is to send the message that there IS suffering. For some reason people seem to think that nothing bad is going to happen to them or is not supposed to. This is a load of malarky. Such belief even ignores NATURE ITSELF.

Animals spend their whole live strying not to be eaten and usually are eaten right in front of their parents or siblings. Many animals die without even SEEING their offspring born
and those offspring are therefore without parents. these creatures often live in isolation and many are even canabalized by their own kind. ONLY human beings have laws and regulations to prevent us all from living the law of the jungle.

Where do these moral laws, (against murder, robbery, child abuse, spousal abuse, rape, FOR feeding the hungry etc.) and the values behind them come from since they are not found in nature?

GOD !

I am sorry for what happened to you and for the bad thing that happen to others. As a believer I see it as my duty to try to help those who have been hurt. I know my own faith has been tested and at times even lost because of some of the things that I have suffered through so I do understand where you are coming from.

I do not agree however that because there are people who do foul things that therefore there is no God. On thecontrary it is BECAUSE people do foul things that we NEED Him.

Answer 7

Do you feel better now that you deny God's existence? Atheists constitute a very small number compared to the rest of the world. If I were you I wouldn't choose to go into eternity with such a small hateful minority, thinking that you were right and just about everyone else at least had the part right about there being a God. It's not logical and it's a bad bet. Read what Atheists say. Do you want to be like that or have them for "friends?"

Answer 8

For truthseekers - it is searching for information about 'Jesus' being a man, a prophet - that you will find what you are looking for - the original Spiritual Teachings, which Christianity does not teach.
He did not resurrect and became the Son of God, world saviour, etc etc. That was all a Christian invention and lie.

Answer 9

The kingdom of god is within us. God is in the mind. God doesn't do anything evil, only people comit evil acts when the pain of searching for pleasure outside of oneself proves to be useless. We(our selfish ego mind) are satan and our higher consciousness is God. All events are neutral it's how we react to them that is important. If you were abused 10 years ago that means you are not being abused now. We choose to live in the past and we choose to re-feel the experiences (positive or negative) over and over again is because we are addicted to those emotions. If we experience an event we can accept it move on and learn from it. I don't cut out negative newspaper articles to re-read over and over again. That would be insane

Answer 10

even Jesus, during his crucifixion, asked, “my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” [matthew 27:46]. to the onlookers of that time, as well as to those who first read the story, it seems that God did forsake Jesus, so we obviously conclude that he will forsake us as well in our darkest moments. yet, upon continued observation of the events that unfolded after the crucifixion, the truth was revealed that nothing can separate us from the love of God, not even death. after Jesus was crucified, he was glorified. from this example alone we can be assured that even when we don't feel God’s presence in the midst of our pain, we can still believe his promise that he will never leave us nor forsake us.

our lives are like the illustration of a quilt. if you look at the back side of a quilt, all you see is a mess of knots and loose ends hanging out all over. it is very unattractive and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the work. yet when you turn the quilt over, you see how the maker has craftily woven together each strand to form a beautiful creation, much like the life of a believer. we live with a limited understanding for the things of God, yet a day is coming when we will know and understand all things. the message to take with you in hard times is that when you can’t see his hand, trust his heart, and know for certain that he has not forsaken you. when you seem to have no strength of your own, that’s when you can most fully rest in his presence and know that his strength is made perfect in your weakness

Answer 11

This was a very bad situation and no mistake. Personally, I think it is important to have hope in God and to distinguish between men and women who do evil things to us, and God who has himself suffered innocently at the hands of sadistic thugs.
