Why God Allows This? by Nobody: 3:18pm On Jun 30, 2020
I used to be a Christian. No longer. I am not sure if god exists or not, but this is not the point of the thread. My question is how can god allow kids and teenagers to starve or die

Some people say to me "it's men's fault" but come on. Why god let them suffer? Men are in many cases the cause of the suffering but if he is all loving why he is not interfering. Why he lets them die alone, in a brutal death?

The Life and Breathe in you , I and everyone over the World belongs to GOD.

We have no right to question Abba Father..

Can your vehicle Question u?
Can the Clay ask the Porter, what Maketh thou?

Can the food you Prepared tell you how or when to eat it?

It's foolishness to Question God Almighty..

All we need do is to Ensure we are Loyal to Him, we Obey his Commandments, we Believe and Accept Him and be ready to meet Him wherever or whenever we are called..

We all are Nothing but pencils in Hand of our Creator

But don't you think it's bad to not question? If we just believe without answers or evidence how are we any different than cult members?

ofc I am not comparing Christianity and Cults but I am saying that they way of thinking you wrote is not that different.

about the vehicle or food, they are not alive, they don't have thoughts or way to experience the world around them, we are and the rest of the animals do have thoughts, and brains, and ways to experience the world around us.

He doesn't exist that's why.

Even the weakest of humans cannot stand by and watch all the atrocious happenings or suffering and not do anything..

Why then does a loving and all powerful God watch hopelessly? Because

He exists only in people's head

Your point?

People don't ask questions for asking sake. People ask questions when something is bothering them and they need to make sense of it.
How can not asking why ur so call almighty Abba father who is the giver of life not handle something as little as securing the suffering of innocent children help make sense of anything?

But again this is the same mentality of a cult, again Christianity is not a cult but it's just like how people are saying "Trust this man, do not question him". If we didn't question anything in life, we wouldn't advance and develop, questioning and trying to find answers are human nature. Christianity gave answers to some questions, not all of them(if they did this thread wouldn't exist). But there are more rational answers.

But men can save, if a man is giving money for a homeless guy, he is helping him more than what prayer would have done, I heard some Christians say that everything that happens is because of god. That if someone is helping you is because god sent him, but this is just ridiculous . Men help other men for a variety of reasons. claiming that only god helps and not men is like saying that doctors can't do anything against covid-19 only god and we shouldn't listen to any of the restrictions, and we all know what will happen.

Those who have the legal right as His Children, know these things so they don't even ask.

You , who discards and insults Him is now Concerned!

If you have a child who is disregards and looks down on you and doesn't care about you, would you regard him?

The same guy will come out to tell u that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship with Jesus.

From his statement, it's more like a relationship with an authoritarian.
Love me or go to hell. Don't question me... Say thank when when I give u bad and good things. "How dare u ask me why I allowed ur little kids suffer or die... U do not need to know just go through with whatever life gives u and thank me for it."

My concern is actually for the kids not him. But then if his actions make sense to me, I might repent from insulting him and take him seriously.

I am not asking him to regard me. I have at least helped myself the best way I can. What about innocent helpless kids?

Leave God aside for a bit, will you. You created this thread suggesting the suffering of others as a reason to ignore God. So, let's pretend God is not even in the equation anymore. What have you done to save those who are suffering in your own might?

Donation, adoption. There are many ways.

About giving money to a homeless man, it's saving him physically, when somebody doesn't have anything to eat, I think money or food is better than prayer.

I meant something else with the adoption or donation, it was for the kids.

About the homeless, I don't think praying will save him, but giving money will make him live for more time.

We are not praying anymore remember... God is impotent. So how have we, men, saved the homeless that we pretend to care about so0 much about? undecided
By the way, God never said to pray for the homeless... Jesus Christ never said anything about praying for the homeless either. If anything, Jesus Christ told His followers that the only way to qualify to enter His kingdom is for them to
FEED MY SHEEP
-------------------------
* feed the hungry
* Give drink to the thirsty
TAKE CARE OF MY SHEEP
--------------------------------
* Cloth the naked
* House the homeless
* care for the sick
* Visit those in prison

The details of this can be found on Matthew 25 vs 31- 46, John 21(These are works of Righteousness).

Now getting back to the discussion again, God is impotent and man can do something, so prayers are meaningless. grin

About the kids, I am trying to donate whenever I have extra money, about adoption, it's important but I need more wealth for that.

About the quotes you have given, it's nice and all. But I can explain this with just human kindness and empathy, which is biological.
