First I am sad that there can be those who I will assume have been hurt enough to feel there is no God. No one can look upon our wonderful universe and really look and not see the wonders of God.
But God allowed and gave man free will, this world is not the home for Christians but we are told we are strangers here and we are merley passing though, to our real home. God has even told us that there will always be poor, hungry but we are to help those that need the help ( except that people that can work, should work) so merley helping peole that could work but don't is not actually bibicial.
But knowing God is having a peace in our body in spite of what is happening.
But to not feel the need for god, there has to be an emptyness in life. No knowledge of life after death, only living for what this life brings, It would have to be such a sad life.
and I would say that you have some worry about abuse, it must be a serious issue in your life, are you scared that God abuses you by your love of him ?
And many people get invovled in drugs though the years, but it is often from that you find God and he can bring you out, no matter what your situation.
Never been hurt here. I've never abused anyone, never abused drugs or alcohol, been strong enough to not let others abuse me. Can you say the same?
Hi NK,
I guess the bold statement above can have several meanings. But sometimes it's not the strenght of a person that makes them vulnerable to abuse, it's the situation that they are in.
There are children, husbands, wives, who are abused, both physically and/or mentally and it does not mean that are not strong enough.
In truth NK, they are some of the strongest people and may be stronger then most, because they are enduring things that some could never make it through.
Sorry, I just had to pipe in and accept what I get in return.
.. where is god? why isnt he stopping poverty, wars, illnesses? is hes there and he has the power.. why just watch?
God is a lover of justice as brought out in Psa 37:28.
We are made in Gods image which means we have good qualities because HE has good qualities. LOVEYOUPEOPLE, it seems that you are very concerned about the conditions of this world, so surely God is too? I'm sure if you had the power you would put an end to all suffering and wars etc right? Well a study of HIS word will reveal that God can and will put a stop to these things PERMANENTLY.
2 Pet 3:9...God is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but that all attain to repentance. Imagine if he had wiped out all wickedness long long ago - you would not exist, as many others also.
Satan challenged God the very moment he deceived Eve, by saying in effect 'man does not need YOUR rulership'. So God is allowing man free reign to prove whether or not this is true. This does not make God responsible for the sad condition of todays world, any more than you would be responsible for your child to grow up and become a serial murderer despite you raising them with good morals and a stable, loving home.
2 Pet 3:13 "There are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell."
.. where is god? why isnt he stopping poverty, wars, illnesses? is hes there and he has the power.. why just watch?
I find your question chlich'e;
Something an ignorant fifteen year old would ask.
I don't believe God ever intended the world to be perfect. In fact , without trial, disposition, war , and disorder, what good would the laws of the Bible be?
Sounds to me that you aren't very open minded at all.
He only created us, and we're on our own from there.
He cannot "stop" anything that we do, because it is US that created it, and it is US that must stop it.
