Your life can be ruined in the blink of an eye. What kind of God creates amazing creatures and throws them into a living hell to sink or swim?

I dunno, a God who’s not a puppet master and whose kingdom is not of this earth?

Your life can be ruined in the blink of an eye. What kind of God creates amazing creatures and throws them into a living hell to sink or swim?

The kind of God who creates a world where several million mothers got up this morning and kissed their babies, held them and loved them. The kind of God who made the world beautiful and hospitable to life and happiness and prosperity.

The kind of God who made you so that you can tell there is something wrong when all of that goes to shit.

Why don't you get out of bed and go make the world a better place instead of blaming God for the evil that men do?

If you are going to blame God for the thousand murders you need to also give Him credit for the billions of loving relationships and acts of heroism which are the norm not the exception. If you are going to blame him for the storm you need to give Him credit for the infinite beauty of creation.

Guess which side of the ledger overwhelms the other?

If all you can see is the evil and the doom, then your mind is blinded and your eyes are closed to reality. Wake up and open your eyes. Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning.

God does not throw anyone into Hell. He provides a place for those who refuse to obey Him to go. People enter into Hell willingly.

The kind of God who promotes FREE WILL? If you’re not a Christian, you wouldn’t understand free will or how the Savior died for all our sins. We know how it ends. Eternal Life. You either have Faith or you don’t.

Life can suck. It can also be incredibly joyful. Those with faith know/believe that no matter what life is like, eternal life is all joyful. Like it’s said, you either believe or you don’t. I believe.
