Topic: Why doesn't God simply destroy us for our evil? - page 2. (Read 522 times)
Johu 3 16 is the answer because ur body is the temple of God and for this it cant destroyed us
The fact is that He has all absolute power to destroy mankind and the whole earth since He is the creator of all things, but He can't just do that; He is Love, His whole being has that configuration of Love, and remember that true Love won't hate.
That is simply not the plan God wants for His children. The Lord gave us the free will to do what we want. It is either for your own good or your own destruction. He loves us so much that if we just repent our sins to Him then He will forgive us and renew us.
It is simple, god has not destroyed us because there is no god. At least not in the sense of God that we have in religious scriptures. Instead, those scriptures preach that we should experience shame for our actions and behaviours, while that is simply nonsense. We are human, we are animals, we are not "perfect". Sure, we can reason and we are capable of improving ourself morally and consciously but we are not broken or evil, simply in a state of evolution.
As because people seem to tolerate evil pretty well
God is not a person that watches us over, that's too anthropomorphic image of God. Rather, God is consciousness residing in all beings, what philosophers call pure Being. It doesn't pick sides or differentiate between good or evil. It just is, slowly evolving through sentient lifeforms.
Because God want us to learn from our mistake, if God will always help us in everything we cannot learn from our mistake, we do not what is right or wrong. Its not just God want to punish us to all our sin but God want us to be a better person. We are not God to be perfect, Jesus has a mistake too, Jesus is not perfect because Jesus is a person.
God gives us freedom and choice on what will we do with our lives and I believe that every bad/evil that human does, there is always a consequence. It could be a bad karma or relive a life that is in a worst situation so it's not necessary for Him to destroy us.
Either he knows about it, cares about it, but can't do anything about it, OR

He's a prick, and all of this was on purpose. He tossed us out of Eden so we said "fuck it, we'll go build our OWN Eden", and the following few thousand years have been an attempt to replace magic with technology.

God is a super nice guy, and is giving you a time to repent, and become a friend of His. But if you don't, it's you or Him. And of course, it will be Him, because He controls everything, and won't reject Himself for you...
Although He came very close to that, when He gave up His life for you, in Jesus death on the cross.
But he's totally okay with kids starving to death in Africa.
When you use the power of God that He gave you, to be against Him, you are simply acting in principle like any other evil person... even like those who cause starvation in the world.

In other words, why does God allow people to do anything?
Why do unicorns allow regular horses to survive? Because they don't want to carry things around.
Just words based on lies my parents told me. :/
Hopefully when you grow up, you will understand.
God does not teach us evil, that's why people are responsible for bad deeds. God is "guilty" here that He does not appear like a superman and does not take the hand of the murderer (or suicide).

Not from the first man heard this old,that people now a higher power has said,you do remain with him,for the actions and deeds,type in a higher power and the help is refused,don't know how significantly,but it certainly is clear that people previously had a lot of knowledge and forces which we now do not speak do not know
If it wasn't for God, there wouldn't be any limbs at all, or even life.
Why god allow those criminals to do bad things in the community and other people?
If god is the only one that has the right to take the life of any person then why murderers exist?
if god is the only one to allow limbs why did he allow a rapist to do it to their victim and some of them got pregnant?
In other words, why does God allow people to do anything?
When God made the world, there was no evil or bad. God had a perfect relationship with mankind. This relationship was based on a righteous connection between mankind and God. The connection was (and remains) that whatever a person wanted to do, all he/she could do was choose it. Then God made the physical and mental happenings of the choices mankind made.
In other words, man can't do anything. All man can do is wish. Then God makes all the physical and mental things happen, to do what a person wants. Originally, this was all based on love, and perfect relationship between God and man.
When man broke the perfect relationship by wishing for something evil and imperfect, God could have simply destroyed mankind on the spot. But he didn't do that. Instead He sent a man who was God at the same time. This was Jesus.
Jesus remained perfect in this life. And because He was God as well as man, He could take the destruction punishment that God should have given mankind for breaking the perfect relationship. This is what Jesus did. He suffered the torments of Hell for mankind, and even died.
Because of the perfect relationship Jesus maintained with God, death couldn't hold Him. He awakened from death, like the Bible teaches, and is alive right now and forever. This was the way that He, and God as a whole, overcame the imperfection of mankind. In other words, God is turning the bad that people do into 'no effect' through Jesus.
It hurts to get hurt. When someone does evil things to you, it hurts. I don't like pain any more than anyone else. But when I die - we all die - the pain and the remembrance of it will be gone from my life. But God will remember.
God wants perfect people. He will raise us all from death, just like Jesus was raised. The important thing is to be found on God's side, in favor of God, at the time of the resurrection. The only way to be found on God's side is to become on His side in this life. And the method for becoming that way is to believe in the salvation of Jesus, and then to willingly stop being evil in this life as much as possible.
This life lasts for a moment of, say, 100 years. The life that God will raise all people to will be a life that lasts forever. There are two basic judgment directions that God will do at the time of the resurrection. Those who were on God's side in this life by believing in Jesus salvation, and by attempting to live the righteous life that God asks for, will receive a life of increased living in joy and goodness, with God, forever, in Heaven. Those who did not accept Jesus, and did not attempt to good in this life, will receive a life of continual destruction, away from God, forever.
In other words, ponder the above, to see the answer to your questions, and to see that your questions are not really relevant for life.
Don't get me wrong. I absolutely do not like pain or evil, even though I am stuck in both at times. God has given me a chance to accept life - and He is doing this for you as well. Choose Jesus salvation, doing good, and eternal life... rather than doing evil, unbelief, and eternal death. Choose now, and choose well, because when this short life is over, whatever you have chosen will last for eternity.
Because God wants us to save, Jesus came here to save and seek the lost, He gave His own begotten Son just to cleanse our sin/evilness, God gave us the chance because of His wonderfu love to us. Thats why, God wants us to go to Him to earn the salvation that is freely given to us.
Evil is in everyone of us in this world and sometimes, it is in small doses. If God is suppose to be destroying all the evil in the world, then the whole Human race is going to be extinct and since he doesn't want that he has given us what i term to be a very long rope and tolerance.
God doesn't destroy us for our evil because he is loving and kind. He want us to to change and do his will, if he destroy us, we may not go to heaven, but as he didn't destroy us, we can later confess our sin and go in his way so that we have eternal life
God make us to choose from right or wrong. After choosing our choice now its our responsibility to take the outcomes. Lets say we cut tree to make different products from it. But also God teaches us how to grow a tree. Now it's up to us are we going to cut tree workout growing any tree or not. We choose our path either to destroy us or build
If it wasn't for God, there wouldn't be any limbs at all, or even life.
Why god allow those criminals to do bad things in the community and other people?
If god is the only one that has the right to take the life of any person then why murderers exist?
if god is the only one to allow limbs why did he allow a rapist to do it to their victim and some of them got pregnant?
The answer is simple, God doesn't exist. If he does is, he is clearly either impotent, malevolent or has abandoned us.
