Gopher who are you to say what God needs? Are you God?! I think not! you dont know what goes on in Gods mind. People in the Bible that had faith in God just did what he said do. Maybe you need to pray for faith. you must be sincere though so that you will get it. The nerve of people, bunch of false prophets

What Does An Ultimately Cruel Universe Reveal About God?

by hamilcarr in

an interesting unanswered question raised by inkling in my thread on creation and god, which i'd like to devote a separate thread to: i would love to hear from some of the resident fundamentalists on this one.... why did got create a achingly beautiful, but ultimately cruel and twisted universe?.

REAL ONE said that unbelievers don't "understand". Hogwash. This is tantamount to saying ex-JW's don't understand JW's. Actually ex-JW's understand JW's better than JW's do.

you will give an account for every word you say and so will I, you call the Bible, God's inspired word hogwash...sad

Sirona says:

This is why I believe in God but reject the Christian / Biblical concept of God.

I've had too many experiences which could be termed "spiritual" to reject the idea of something beyond what has been scientifically proven. This something extra - this is what I choose to call God. I could just as easily call it "the One" or "the All".

this is confusing. You believe in God but reject his son and the Bible. so in other words you have made your own God like the jw. well thats your choice but according to the Bible if you reject Jesus you reject God so you can say you believe all day long...it wont matter. you have rejected his son, Christ who died to reconcile us all to God. this is the only way God will accept us and you miss the mark from your statement.

Gopher says:

REAL ONE -- This eternal God you describe, lived an extremely long time or forever all alone. Why did he create beings (angels, humans) whose sole purpose in life is to worship him? Is he that insecure? Does he constantly need praise? There's a word for people like that (egomaniacs), is that how your God is? If you said he created people so that they could enjoy their life, that would at least be logical

You need logic? What is logic to God? you seem to think you are smarter than him. So go ahead Eve eat the fruit!

If we praise, worship, and OBEY him we will enjoy life beyond our little minds capabilities of understanding.

if i had a nice gift to give to someone, i wouldn't wait thousands of years to give it........

You are not God so therefore who are you to tell him when to act. God is not our gennie or sky daddy! He does what he wants when he wants. you should be glad he has not ended the world yet. how many people do you know you need to preach the gospel to so that they will be saved? Are you saved yet?

Deputy Dog, i agree. but only believers will understand this. Thats why these people have so many problems with God. They dont believe. and like Jesus said if someone were to come back from the dead that they know and tell them about God they still would not believe!

God does love the world. He created it. The purpose of mankind is to worship God. Jehovah God. No other god. When God asks us to do something he expects us to obey him.OBEY, this is becoming my favorite word to use in connection to God. Mankind is full of sin. this is evident in the garden of eden. Any one of us would probably have made the same mistake those two made. throughout mankinds history they have chosen to disobey God. Not only mankind look at the Devil. We should all be walking on eggshells had it not been for God allowing Christ to givie us another chance for everlasting life. do i understand how God could possibly love us? No! do i understand why Christ died on the cross? No! its just like when someone tells you a principle or a concept and at first you dont understand. later on you might get understanding about why something is so but at first you dont understand. this has happened to me a lot of times when it comes to obeying God. i knew the law but chose to do what i wanted. horrible results. results that to thid day i have to live with. no party here.

we talk about the worlds disasters and why this why that. God knows what he is doing,we have to trust him. we all have questions but he has the answers when we dont. no one will know all about God and his plans. Jesus even agreed to this. we just have to be patient stay in prayer and wait on the Lord. we also must not be selfish and have a lot of pride in ourselves. Christians are suppose to put God first in their lives. a concept i was not able to master until oct 2007. didnt really understand it until then. wasnt capable of doing it bymyself. i need God to help me in every aspect of my life.

once you realize you need him and he does not need you you are well on your way. we live to do his will not our own. I look at Satan again and continue to wonder why he fell.

Suffering ,why is God slow to act?

in the 1300s the bubonic plague killed 25 million people, a third of europe's population.so why did jehovah only put jesus on battle readiness at the start of the 20th century?

you would think that god didn't care about his creation , the human race.

my God does what he wants to do when he wants to do it. Like i said before if people obey God then they wont have those problems. like the pass over, if his people did not obey him and place the blood on the doorposts then their children would have been killed too. didnt your mother teach you not to walk into traffic? that was very kind of her to tell you that and smart of you to obey her. everyone wants to blame God for their failures and misfortunes and of the suffering of the world i say we brought it on ourselves!
