God is exactly where He is supposed to be. The truth is that man acts and that is NOT God’s fault. Why should I blame God for others free will?
The Universe is a big place. I’m sure “God” has a lot more to worry about than a few Billion screaming Apes.
I learned early in my Christian faith, The will of man is stronger than the will of God. He gives us all we need, what do with his his gifts has sadly been left up to us.......h
His people have failed him.
God already did His part .. He entered into the world by way of a virgin in order to be free of sin - He suffered and died on the cross, willingly taking our sins upon himself - He entered into the bowels of hell and took back the keys of hell and death from Satan (who had stolen them from Adam).
God’s waiting on you!
Well done.
As we murder 50 million babies, approve of sodomy, steal from "the rich", and then elect rapists, liars and non believers as leaders, you shouldn't have to ask why our buildings are falling down and our economy is collapsing. God is where He has always been, the question should be "Where are we?" When Israel moved away from God, they were destroyed. Kinda like that sowing and reaping thingy.
As this guy proves, even those that claim Christ, are clueless as to how God works. In the end, the whole world is judged, and it gets pretty bad for most.
If I buy you a Bible, will you promise to read it?
Acts 17:16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he was beholding the city full of idols.
Acts 17:17 So he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place every day with those who happened to be present.
Acts 17:18 And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. And some were saying, "What would this idle babbler wish to say?"Others, "He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,"-- because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.
Acts 17:19 And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is which you are proclaiming?
Acts 17:20 "For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; we want to know therefore what these things mean."
Acts 17:21 (Now all the Athenians and the strangers visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)
Acts 17:22 And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects.
Acts 17:23 "For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.
Acts 17:24 "The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands;
Acts 17:25 neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all life and breath and all things;
Acts 17:26 and He made from one, every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times, and the boundaries of their habitation,
Acts 17:27 that they should seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
Acts 17:28 for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said,' For we also are His offspring.'
Acts 17:29 "Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man.
Acts 17:30 "Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent,
Acts 17:31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead. "
The passage says all that needs to be said. However, few will listen.
We have to learn what we have to learn.
Take WWII....I can actually see God starting it.
Nuclear weapons were going to happen no matter what, WWII just sped the process up.
Would Khrushchev have backed down had he not known the horror of WWII, first hand? Maybe him thinking “I can’t be responsible for starting another World War” Was what saved us all.
Well, if you don't know, you ain't goin'.
"Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." (James 4:3 KJV)
And what in the world is that statement about not being sure of eternal life? I sounds as if you need to start building your faith in a large way. Change who you are listening to, because "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God". Listen, things look bleak if you look at them from the standpoint of the world. Consider that the plagues of Egypt were a blessing to the Hebrew nation, but a curse to the Egyptians! We are not of this world which is passing away, so focus on the promise and not on the plague.
We can’t blame God. Most of the suffering is caused by God hating people aided indirectly by everyone else who refuse to say no.
The people of Amerika have abandoned Him, so doesn't it make sense the He too has abandoned us?
Looks like it’s time to go back to the Church that raised you, Carlo, and meet Him.
God is like an introvert: He needs to be invited and he wants to know he is needed; otherwise, we made the mess so we must clean it up. He is not our humanitarian maid service.
Here’s how I see it: We’re here to grow spiritually in the fullness of God.
When was the last time you ‘grew’ in your awareness of God’s mystery and love while watching TV and eating pizza? Not often, right? We’re a collection of all the choices we’ve made... for good or evil... Wasn’t God sweet making the RPGs so much fun? Enjoy.
