Religious Leaders Are One Of The Reasons Why People Think God Is Uncaring by Flirtyjane(f): 6:46am On Nov 28, 2021 |
Have you ever wondered if God truly cares about us? You might easily answer based on what you have experienced or experiencing. No matter the answer, there is a reason for it. For some, they feel God does not really care about us, cos if he does, we won’t have to suffer. And if even we should suffer, when we cry for help, He would hear our cry for help and do something in our situation. That has not always been the case. Many people say a loving father that has the power to change the condition of his children won’t fold his hands and watch his children suffer. The Almighty has the power and that is why you hear people say what God cannot do does not exist. There are so many other reasons why people might think God does not care about us. One of the reasons is the fact that many religious leaders have indirectly painted God to be unjust and cruel. How? When a good die even in a tragic way, they tell the family or friends of the dead person that God give and God take. Some will say God has taken the person to make him or her an angel in heaven. Imagine the pain, sorrow, the grief the person will feel upon hearing that. Why will God cause someone so much pain, especially a good person? Do you also believe what these people say about the dead that God take and God give? It is wrong to think so. Here is a reason why it would be cruel for people to blame God for any bad thing that happens to us or someone we know. James 1:13 (The Bible in Living English) Let no one, when he is tempted, say “I am being tempted by God”; for God feels no temptations to evil, and himself tempts nobody. God does not use evil to try anyone. Take your time to ponder over it. |

If everything in this life was fair, good and happy, what need would there be to seek a better life? Why would we seek a Deliverer, if there was nothing to be delivered from? Suffering is not something that ought to turn people away from God, but draw them to Him. if people followed the teachings of Jesus? Do you realize what this world would be like if people simply followed God's instructions? There would be no murder, no wars. There would be no welfare, because families would take care of their own (and families would stay together) and those who did not have families would be provided for by their fellow-members in Christ. There would be no starvation… I could go on, but the point is: God has provided us answers; whose fault is it that we don't seek them or heed them when we find them? |

Flirtyjane: God is good, all the time and esp to me. Who is God...? Some call him omnipotent, omniscient and all but who is he to you. To me, God is you and me. So if one dies a natural death then it's God handwork. Or if it's something done by someone or by accident... It is the devil's handwork. So is God the opposite of Devil... Mind you all these are all gibberish. Who Is God? God is you and me, God is nature. How then does he give favour to some and displease some? But Because he's nature which you can do no favours. He is nature who you can use to your advantage. If you call the sun a big fire, it works..if you call it a big ball, you're right too. If you say God killed your loved one, he did. If you say nature did, you're right. You see, Leave God matter and act as if.... If you are God, how will you make sense of it all. Leave religious leaders, na the way they understand. If you change your own orientation, that will be good for you than blaming others or God If you say God is uncaring to you, who am I to say he is? |

Yes. You are right to some extent. Some Religious LEADERS DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO EXECUTE THE TESTAMENT IN THEIR HANDS. |

Flirtyjane: But he used evil to revenge against the Amalekites by ordering men to slaughter their children and babies. Innocent kids for that matter. So that cancels your point. |
