- The Village Church exists to bring glory to God by making disciples through gospel-centered worship, gospel-centered community, gospel-centered service and gospel-centered multiplication.
Doesn't matter how you spin it, infinite punishment for a finite crime is immoral.
Sokol - and WHO are you to judge God??? Obviously, you didn’t understand one thing on this video
You Christians also judge god. You can't judge all of his good things and just leave out the bad things. Hypocrite.
Sokol, Hell is not a subject that can be explained away with a witty one liner. It's a difficult concept to understand, one which I try to discern and understand better as well. I will try to shed a bit of light on your original comment, not as an all encompassing answer by any means. Crimes have varying degrees of punishment based on who they are commited against. If someone for example, murders a police officer, it is regarded as worse than killing a civilian and therefore punishment is more severe. Let's say someone assasinates a president and is caught, it's safe to say that person will have the book thrown at them and no mercy will be shown. Now picture the Creator of the universe, the highest authority there is. Our sin against Him is equal to "cosmic treason" pardon the cheesy term. Therefore, the so called "finite" crime is not actually finite at all. Hope this thought sheds some light on the matter!
Well as far as I'm concerned, I'm more moral than your god, granted I think he is as real as the tooth fairy and the flying spaghetti monster.
Also, if god is so fucking powerful, than why did he make us flawed? And if your excuse is, "Satan makes us do evil shit" then why doesn't god destroy satan? Don't give me the "God works in mysterious ways," bullshit.
If God is all-knowing, to create a sentient being you know will be dammed to eternal fire , is the definition of evil.
@Account One u have the free will to change and ask for forgiveness, if you choose to follow behind Satan's footsteps that's ur choice. Think positive
@Account One never to late to change for the better, you could be the light ur family needs if you feel like they're going to hell. Hope you get out of those sinister thoughts 🙏 the devil wants you to turn ur back on god so he can have his way with you in hell
@@agentdickemdown will god forgive my ignorance if I end up in hell? Can I say sorry? I can beg him for a million year since it is still better than eternity. Or am I fked forever once im there.
@@schong999 pretty sure your completely fucked once your in hell
@@paroxysm6437 have you actually read some of the bible? The way I see it is Jesus came down in flesh to teach us how to live righteous life's. the devil the fallen angel lucifer (gods greatest angel) Lost everything for thinking he was somehow greater than his creater becoming arrogant. Now he just tries to lead man kind to hell 🤣 cus that boi mad. The bible says most of us aren't making it 😭 god knows we are fuck ups that's why he sacrifice himself for us and gave us a fucking guide how to reach his kingdom and a lot of humans still manage to fuck up. At the end of the day the bible is about Love if you believe in a afterlife or not but people still hate on it... Wonder why(devil)
This made me feel better, I have always wanted God in my life, I have no hope of heaven without him, praise Yeshua
We inherited sin from Adam and Eve.....so God decides to flood the world because of said sin...Noah and his family were supposedly righteous....yet their descendants were still sinful(albeit...it is biologically impossible to propagate an entire species with such a small population)
@Stare Kotlety no person in this thread said this, a good Christian does not judge or hope for others to burn, you should deal with youre own demons brother
@@daleval2182 You think people CHOOSE to burn by not being convinced of the claims in the Bible?
If God was really compassionate, he would let us have an opt out button.
I don't want to burn & I cannot make myself believe the stuff in the bible, so he, being capable of all things, is fully capable of just turning me to dust.
Yet he prefers the burning people punishment method over just turning us nonbelievers into dust.
O people do not associate anyone with the one true God, Even jesus peace be with him told you all to worship the one true God, and not to worship jesus nor his mother peace be with them!
Christians who do the sins listed in Galatians 5:19-21 will not go to heaven. There is no faith alone.
If you want God in your life after you have hear his word and his grace he will let you in his kingdom.✝️
Keck yes indeed shiva awaits for us all
It's weird how many atheist and non Christians clicked on this video just to troll in the comment section😂
And the alternative is eternal torment. Yeah good god. Let’s be really your salvation has absolutely nothing to do with being good cause if it was you wouldn’t need or even want him. He made the stander perfection so you have no other choice but to serve which is selfish at best and at worst it shows gods envy of our ability to take care of ourself’s. And stop using the argument “who are you to judge god” cause at this point it’s cringe or “by who’s standard are you judging god?” this to us cringe and they make talking to Christian’s very predictable. And in answer to the second quote I’m using his own standard and you don’t like that I am cause you know I’m right
A true believer believes most people are going to hell.
Yet they still have kids…
Having my first child was the catalyst for my deconversion.
Narrow is the gate to Heaven, wide is the road to Hell. God gives people free will to choose .
This is the dumbest thing i've ever read.
@@janetdavidson8798That clearly misses the point lol. Think harder
The Bible doesn’t give a straightforward answer to this, therefore we will never know...
The Bible gives a very straightforward answer but people are blinded by doctrines created by man. Jesus spoke about the second death. Meaning there was a first death, which all men must face. The lake of fire will culminate in total destruction, which is the second death. Even a child knows that death means something has ceased to exist.
the Bible does Give you a Answer it says " No man is Good, But Only the father(God). Everybody sins.
@@chine62 Actually the Bible is Very unclear on the matter of Hell. The old testament NIV has no word Hell in it. And most scholars translate Hell in the New testiment to death or burial. And I've said many times if there was such a place of eternal torture God didn't do a very good job of giving undisputed truth to it.
If it was such a big deal maybe a full book or at least a few chapters called the book of hell would be in order. God is love. And love doesn't judge.
@@Musicman-50 -- i think it is only fair to know that there is hell, it doesn't really matter where it is or how hot it is in there or how many souls were in there or are in there...Whats important is to know God's preaching and follow them by heart...God doesn't send people to hell, its our action that send us to hell..Jesus said " I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but by me." But unfortunately they just don't want to believe that Christ exist and died on the cross...and they even have the tendency to ask * If God is a loving God why does God send people to hell!* which goes back to the same answer.... we are judged by our action ...peace and God bless
@@jurgenz720 I think it's also likewise only fair to consider your source of claiming to know this Hell to be a fact. Your only source would be if course the Bible, of which if it were an actual fact then God didn't do a very good job of documentation in this book. The word Hell is not even in the old testament (NIV). And in the new testiment only 12 times the word is even mentioned, and with various translations and debates by Bible theologians of that single word hell. it means death or to die in some references, and in others it means to bury. If this was such a critically important thing of which it should be according to you, then wouldn't it only be fair that the author (God) would have dedicated at least an entire book (multiple pages and chapters) to the subject matter.
According to you this book (the Bible) by a supposed loving God would send his creation to a place he promotes and allows as a place of eternal torture to those that would be considered good loving humans that just didn't figure things out in their short lifetime.
And This is the same God that allowed, multiple wives, concubines (young girls for sex), and human slaves. Also a mass murderer too say the least. And defined as a god with serious anger issues. So At the very least the Bible is not very well written or we would not still be having this discussion. And the fact that hundreds of different church denominations all have a different twist or interpretation of this book.
In closing I do not believe the Bible supports or has evidence that a loving God would send his sons and daughters to be tortured for any reason. If this is in theory true than God is not Love.
Wouldn't unconditional love by definition mean hell wouldn't exist?
“ God’s love is a love that initiates; it is never a response. That is precisely what makes it unconditional. If God’s love were conditional, then we would have to do something to earn or merit it. We would have to somehow appease His wrath or cleanse ourselves of sin before God would be able to love us. But that is not the biblical message. The biblical message-the gospel-is that God, motivated by love, moved unconditionally to save His people from their sin(missing the mark, not being able to follow all His guidance perfectly). Just like I did when my parents gave me guidelines and their ways to follow(for my own good), and when I broke them by rebelling, there were consequences. I would get spankings, or “grounded”(which was like prison to me..lol), and if someone would have said, “I’ll take your place so you don’t have to receive what is due to me because of my choices, I would have said, “Great!”, Thank You , I am so grateful”....but us humans with OUR rebellious nature, instead of having this mindset toward Jesus Christ and WHAT HE DID FOR US, we spit on him and mock him instead. I now in later life know how much grief I caused my parents, and God is the same way with us. He gets upset too when we do not listen....
God’s original plan from the very beginning was for everything and everyone to be “good and perfect.” This was interfered with by the enemy who is still working in this world today. God made a way (a divine RESCUE) for us for our eternal life. It is like we are in the middle of the movie right now while it is playing out, and his word lets us know how it will end. Either wonderful and exciting ,or misery. Like a criminal who ends up in solitary confinement for committing a horrific act. The “judge” did the RIGHT thing by not letting him go run the streets and keep doing wrong. He judged righteously, and hands down the prison sentence. Did the court judge SEND him there, or did the choices of the criminal? God loves all he created, just as our parents love us, and we love our beloved. We should love and respect back.
Genesis 1:31
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
sunnydaze11 So hell doesn't exist? Cool.
It's conditional, as long as you believe in him and worship him, you're okay. If not then oof
Yes indeed it would. Amen.
@@sunnydaze1185 Simplistic way to make God out to be so human. Gets mad and kills people. Your analogy of your parents didn't fit well here. I seriously doubt they would kill you or torture you for eternity if you totally screwed up your life and didn't respect them.. Unconditional love has no judgement and it has no hidden agenda.
If God is Love then it has to be unconditional.
If I murdered someone and the judge let's me free that would make him corrupt. God is NOT corrupt and every sin will be judged. He is merciful and forgiving while you live. When you die that mercy turns into justice. Repent today!! Reject sin. And follow him.
And if a toddler disobeyed their parents and the parents decided that the proper punishment would be to throw that child into a hole, fill that hole with gasoline, and then light a match and burn the child alive, that would make them corrupt. You really need to think before you post stupid comments like that.
no sin deserves an eternal punishment, and the goal of punishment is to get you to the right way, how can you repent if you are suffering in unthinkable pain?
so basically, the only reason that god can do this is because he’s god? nah, that sounds like bullshit to me.
@@DevilishChrist Lol. Exactly!
Most Christians have no clue and are taught by pastors that have no clue as well. It's a vicious cycle that Satan has used to make people think our loving God will send us to hell. Satan would love nothing more than God's creation to be torched for eternity. Absolutely nonsense. I suggest watching some of Aaron Abke's videos. He is a pastor that explains the bible the way it supposed to be taught without all the nonsense! Here is a video for starters. czcams.com/video/sQEoz8BuSA0/video.html
Good job with the facts, the Scripture and the logic. Wow! In less than 5 minutes. Thanks
Your reply is typical of a believer!
We inherited sin from Adam and Eve.....so God decides to flood the world because of said sin...Noah and his family were supposedly righteous....yet their descendants were still sinful(albeit...it is biologically impossible to propagate an entire species with such a small population)
please pray a prayer for me to follow god every second
If God answered prayers why not ask people to pray away cancer, famine, genocide, to maybe stop sex slavery you know something that would help humanity.
I know for a fact without doubt that God exists because of a personal experience but
This hell stuff is really bothersome. If hell really exist I wish I never existed but I guess that was not my choice
But I'll trust God that he will save me and my family
Hell is real...read the last chapter in the bible
Nawh, what you really mean is you believe God exist because of the way you interpret your personal experiences!
Right I didn't ask to be created.
@@Noname-uk9mu--- i read in a book once where it said..before we were born we get to choose who our parents will be, and that God will explain to you what your life going to be and will ask you, are willing to accept it...you can accept or decline. If you decline God will show you another parents , until you decided which parents you want, then same process , He will show you what your life will be about..He will ask you one question before you go...His question is...will you still love me and honor me even though you don't see me ? And ofcourse your answer will be "Yes" and before your guardian angel slipped you into this tunnel he will show you a silent motion ( point finger across your lips to symbolize silence) and once you are born you have no recollection of every conversation you had with God...So let me ask not just you but everyone who is reading this...are you up for that challenge?
@@jurgenz720 I know about that stuff it sounds similar to Journy of Souls by Michael Newton it is interesting.
So so very beautiful .How right . And so true.As im in a real life living hell hole in my own private life right now with daily unbearable tribulation and non stop suffering as i love and believe in God with all my heart and soul and pray to Him and wish for Him right here and now as i know that wicked evil people get punished and go to hell because they belong there while the Lord saves those who are suffering because of satan. ,,the righteous and just because we believe in Him as God loves those who suffer the most and gives great suffering rewards in Heaven to us,His,children who suffer for Him this way as this is what i believe . Be blessed slways in Jesus Precious Name.🌹💖💖🎉
I can't wrap my head around the fact that all you need to do is want god in your life and believe in him and you'll be saved. There has got to be thousands of good people who have never heard of this god we all know. How can god judge them if they've never even been introduced to the bible or even the idea of god. So if it's not our actions that make us worthy of heaven and it's just the belief in god, say someone who has gone their whole life sinning not caring about god, can't they just repent last minute and be sent to heaven? I don't understand
That’s a modern Protestant interpretation of salvation, most Christian’s in history believed actions spoke louder than words and prayers. The idea of just needing to mentally or verbally accept Jesus for salvation is inaccurate in the way described, as repentance Needs to also be in place, and with repentance it means you must amend your actions
@@wp699 thanks for the explanation
God has HIS own way to judge for those people who have "never heard" about God.. remember that God is all powerful, Eternal, Sovereign, He is Just.. so we could say that we can stop thinking about those people(never heard).. now the main concern here is you, since you heard the TRUTH about God , do you accept and believe in Him? John 3:16 i hope you could read those verse, it says there about the Love of God for you, and He don't want you to spend your eternity in Hell.. that is why He send Jesus to take away our sins...Hope this help..
NO MAN IS GOOD ONLY THE FATHER! Every man is a sinner and every man deserves hell but God will save a few through repentance and true belief!
This is what we're told to believe about God by Christians-
Imagine a judge who gives out life sentences to a prison where torture is practiced...and because he's "so perfect and good"...unless you've said his son / himself is your best buddy?
everybody goes there....doesn't matter if you have one parking violation....or are a mass murderer who's killed and raped 100s.
And fans of the judge say "Oh, see he HAS to do that...due to the Rules." "And who set up the Rules?" "Well...uh...he did."
What about people who stopped believing out of a lack of evidence but who so desperately wanted to hold on to their faith. These are certainly not people who didn’t want to be in gods presence, as you put it. The big issue with your argument is there is no way to prove everything you have just said is an accurate assessment of reality. So how can one be expected to choose to follow Jesus if no one can know beyond a reasonable doubt that it is true.
That's what truth seeking is. And truth seeking in someone's relationship with God can only be accomplished through love. Loving God, loving Christ. As for true evidence, you need only search the truth with an open heart, and an open mind, and you will find Him.
Jeremiah 29:13 says: " *You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart* "
As for verses about truth in finding God: John 8:32 "And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free", meaning, if you are not set free in the truth you know then you do not know it.
Claudia R-G faith just means gullibility. It means that you blindly believe a 2000 year old book
What do you mean by lack of evidence ?
czcams.com/video/OfHHkajSxTs/video.html
@Blarfengar According to the new wave of "Christian" thinking, 'Once saved always saved.' According to early Christendom, "Salvation is a continual process" as St. Paul states. As far as a perceived lack of evidence is concerned, that is why it is called Faith.
Most Christians unawarely force theirselves to have a close relationship with God because of fear of fiery place of eternal torment and I depise this concept.
I think they are aware

Same here. If god is real then by these standards I am to burn in hell forever after just trying my best to be positive in a world with enough pain and suffering as it is. After already being plagued by past abuse, ongoing depression and anxiety, I will then get to spend the rest of eternity suffering a worse fate, even though most of the time the only person I ever hurt was myself. Even though I tried my hardest to believe, I will be punished for it because I failed to truly believe. That sucks. I really hope if god is real that he is an understanding god. Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to be forgiven and then go to heaven with god welcoming you with loving arms saying “I love you and I know it was rough and you must be tired, come on in and spend eternity in beauty and light and love.” Man its hard being human and none of us had the choice to exist in this world and it was basically set up for us to fail by god, yet hes supposed to be loving. Gotta say I’m not really feeling the love😔 Wow this makes me really sad, because the other alternative to god is eternal nothingness and just not existing (or the other large number of alternative religions haha who knows). Well um wow, this is depressing and Im am quite sad now 😞

This is the most authentic and well thought out explanation I have heard. I have wondered and worried over this question for a very long time. I love God and want to be his child but I just couldn't reconcile this question for so long. I cried when I watched this because it is the truth. I think I understand a little better now. It's not about good people or bad people. It's about yearning for God, caring for God, wanting and acknowledging your need for God. Christianity says that going to heaven is not based on "works" and it's true. It's much more than that.
God doesn't send you, you send yourself! Freewill remember!!!
Makes about as much sense as saying you choose to be shot if you don't give the robber your money.

God doesn’t “send” anyone to Hell. We send ourselves by our actions and our decisions.
Ianes58 How is that according to the bible God makes the rules of who does and who doesn't go to hell!
Yes because it easier to continue to live in sin then realizing the flith of our unrepentant hearts. Gods domain He can say who can enter! He determines what is good or evil
Every one needs god he is life
Jesus: "Love your enemies, bless them. Overcome evil with good"
Evangelical God: "Nah"
Christian god Yahweh: nah, Ima burn these fools for not doing what I say. Gonna send bears after their kids too. Maybe I’ll even make them slaves. Yeah, that’s what happens when I don’t get my way. WORSHIP your LORD Yahweh or perish for eternity.
I Love you. - Yahweh.
@@KingJonathanThe1st this is not the way God is. God is loving and he gave man free will. So many ppl get things wrong about “obedience.” Yes, obedience is extremely important but I think so many Christians forget that we were created to obey. And obey joyfully. God wants you to want to obey and enjoy doing so, love doing so, being glad about doing so bc his way is best for you and he loves you. God is not selfish. He’s not a angry tyrant that wants to just take away fun and send ppl to hell . God does not delight in cold hearted, fear of punishment based obedience. God is more glorified when you joyfully obey his word. He’s not delighted when you obey outwardly and not with your heart in it. If you choose to be like satan, living a sinful life, you are going to end up paying the consequences for your actions. If you choose to follow Jesus, you will be happy. For his way is good for you. Let’s be very careful when we speak on behalf of God. That is a very serious matter ❤️.

Read the bible with an open mind.
God is love. He never wants to put even the wicked to death. Let alone torture them.

Everlasting punishment does not mean the punishment will go on for ever. It means the punishment will be finite. There will be no need to punish these people once more. Once punished (and this punishment is a removal of evil doers from the earth) there will be no evil doers ever again.
it just doesnt make sense to me..
so your telling me murders , rapists all they have to do is give their life and they go to heaven?
while some nobody who did abosulute good , and had good intentions goes to hell because he didn't give his life
Your absolutely right it makes no sense at all
The universe is not just finite, Earth is just a physical part of the spiritual existence. And humans are not just finite, we are both spiritual and physical. As spiritual beings, we will live on forever, even after our bodies expire. So we shouldn't allow the deceptions and pleasures of this short-lived life to rob us from forever living with the Great God and Creator of the Universe. This God, historically verifiable sent His Son in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ into the world, the perfect and sinless God-man who allowed Himself to take the punishment of sin on the cross, so that by we, just believing In HIM, we will resurrect from our dead lives, be released from the wages of sin, and be forever alive and connected to our Heavenly Father.
God is love, He is Good, He is life, but He is also Just and Holy. These two attributes of God, He satisfied, when He died for our sin on the cross. By so doing His justice and love were both displayed. I wonder greatly, why people don't want anything to do with God now, but at the same time complain of the absence of love and life in hell, forgetting that every good and perfect gift comes from God.
In this life, We have the freewill to choose between God's love displayed on the cross, and our own selfish deeds. Because God loves us, He's given us the freewill to choose. Freewill is a perfect gift, and it is the same freewill that makes us not as robots.
People go to hell because they choose to live their lives without God, because they want to do things their own way. And God won't forcefully go against your will to make you love Him. He's showed His love even by going to the extent of dying for us. He still loves you, and really don't want you to spend eternity without Him. Please don't keep breaking His heart by rejecting this priceless offer. Believe in Jesus, Ask Him to be your Lord and Saviour, and you shall be saved!
Okay if that were supposedly true. That is not answering the core question. Let's just take this is the way the Bible protrays it. God is all-knowing, He can predict into the future before it even plays out. Firstly, we as humans did not ask to be here so it is evil for our Father to place us here with the knowledge that there is an extremely high possibility that we will be doomed to the worst punishment known to man-kind, eternity in Hell. I describe myself as agnostic. I'm 14 years old and my family is pridomenitely Christian, however my dad recently turned away from the church and now proclaims himself as an athiest. If God really loved him, then He would have killed my dad before he changed his mind. He 100% was a true Christian for 34+ years of his life. In that entire time frame, God knew my dad, Ronald, would not believe past that time period yet He did nothing. Now my dad is doomed for Hell. Is that not evil of God! to hide and not do anything!
I try to trust in the goodness of gods plan but my christian friends seem to want me give myself over to the corruption of the world more than the goodness of gods plan. Isn't the corruption of the world part of gods plan?
Is hell supposed to make sense logically? Or emotionally? Or does it not make sense at all to us and we're just supposed to trust it because the bible said so.
1. Create humans that are hardwired to be unable to live up to your standards
2. Threaten to torture all who do not live up to your moral standards
3. Send your creation to hell because of how you designed them
4. Claim the moral high ground because you're God and you define morality
yup, this video is bullshit. In my understanding hell exists but not because God sends anyone there
love god or burn in hell...that is not love
2nd John (1:6) And this is love that we walk after His commandments.
Love is not an emotion. It is walking after the commandments of a King. The real Jesus is King of Kings- and Lord of Lords.
Yeah...kinda makes God sound like the Godfather.

God will not force Himself to us. He respect our decision. So if we don't want Him. He will let you go to that place. Sadly the separation from God is Fire of Hell. Hell is the opposite of Heaven. He already gave us the Gift of Salvation. We just need to accept it. We didn't deserve it but God gave His only begotten Son to save us.
This is evil in the form of a gentle voice and a smiling face that confronts all those who, for a vast number of reasons - none of which have anything to do with choice, do not believe in Christian theology. Village Church members - none of you chose what you believe. You were born and raised within conditions and experiences that led to that belief. It happened to you. Does this not make the concept of eternal reward for that belief non-sensical? More importantly, does this not make eternal punishment for all those outside of that belief, the majority of people on earth, a moral perversity?
David Shepherd I have found answers to a lot of questions that you seem to raise here from Ravi Zacharias. He may not answer your questions but I just wanted to share bc I can see where you are coming from. Whatever you believe or don’t believe, peace and blessings to you as you search for truth!
Thank you Jenny for your response. Zacharias offers a standard apologetic response to this question that usually begins with, "This is a very difficult question...", and then never explains how anyone, who is not a psychopath, can find it acceptable to torture people forever for what they have come to believe. Some Christians fault non-believers for not having an objective moral standard to follow, but by what moral standard do they find the concept of Hell acceptable? I've struggled with this for my whole life and at times it makes me miserable. Try to see how this "Good News" message about a God of Love followed by, "and if you don't believe it, unspeakable things will happen to you when you die", puts a non-believer that you're trying to reach in an intractable position.
I think sometimes we loose track about this life we have, the world we live in and the universe around us. It is not about us. It's all about God and His glory. I know that is an open ended statement, but if we truly understand everything is about God and not about us that changes our perspective on a lot of things.
Adam, I don't think that your statement is open-ended at all. I think you're saying, "I know who the one true God is. He is glorious and perfect. If you don't specifically understand and believe what I do about Him He will send you and all the other non-believers in this God to eternal punishment - and this is ok because he is glorious and perfect."
“Gods gonna give them what they’ve always wanted” to burn for eternity??? Huh
If God, being an omniscient being, can see the future. Therefore, since the down of creation, he knows every action that every human will make. From the christian standpoint we would have no choice over what we do in our lives. The games been rigged since the beginning.
Calvinism is satanic, i follow Christ, not Calvin
No one has to go to hell. Accept God's love and His Son Jesus. You choose to go to hell if you don't.
Since we are spiritual beings, it only makes logical sense that the Creator would communicate with us in Spirit, rather than in a physical way, that would put a human before Him. The book is written by man, decided what should and not be in the book by man, and interpreted by man. I'll just look and listen within and at this point of my life, I am free from the bondage of religion and at total peace within my being.
4:20 No, the problem of hell has NOT been defeated at all! Why would an all-forgiving and all-just being punish his own creation that he "loveth so much that he gaveth his only son" infinitely for finite crimes? Would you throw your 16 year old son into a burning oven FOR ETERNITY, just because he showed you his middle finger? Or would you rather punch him ONCE very hard in his face so that he would remember and never do it again? Because infinitely torturing someone isn't just in any possible scenario.
I had two dreams going to hell 🙁
Exodus 15:3 "The Lord is a man of war..."
I believe in God and jesus crist
how can i be punished infinitely for a finite amount of sins committed on earth?
exactly. Its a scam.
It's because you commited the sin, as a human you're an eternal spirit, so because you're an eternal spirit, your sin is eternal with you, therefore, the correct punishment for your sin is eternal, because the crime is eternal in nature.
The wages of sin is DEATH, the gift from Jesus however is eternal life. If you are alive to be tortured for ever than you too have been given eternal life! Just a very sadistic life
imagine if a murderer said something akin to that. "why should I be sent to prison for the rest of my life for a crime that was committed in 5 minutes?" It is because the choices and actions we make determine our future. I love and worship God because his law is never arbitrary or tyrannical but is there for our benefit and health. I love him because despite the uncountable mistakes I've made in my life he is willing to forgive me, forget my mistakes, and take me in as his own child. I beg you to look at the teachings of Jesus for what they are and not what people have twisted them to be for their own gain.

Since God is loving there must be a hell and there is none good but God no human being is good every human being is a wicked sinner deserving of hell but Jesus Christ came to save sinners from hell and that is love

Exactly why would god make humans just throw them away in hell just to be forgotten
First of all thank for your attempt to make sense of a the Hell myth. But I respecfully disagree with you the Bible actually says very little about the subject of Hell. Jesus Himself said very little about it. In fact he never even said he was God, but was the son of God, and also that we are all Son's and Daughter's of the most high (Another Topic of discussion)..
If the subject of Hell was so Critical and Important, don't you think it's an injustice that God didn't create an entire Book or at least multiple chapters about Hell to fully explain the obvious contradictions that ministers like you use to try to explain such nonsense. But I respect your kind well intended attempts to do so.
The whole idea that God created his children imperfect and to be Judged is so "Human Like".. I mean It's Humans that Judge, they Punish, they Condemn one another. Actually sounds like most religions when I think about it. Our Religion is perfect yours is not . Our religion is of God and yours is of the Devil. LOL
And the simplistic idea that God created Adam and Eve and expected them to be perfect seems so unrealistic and weird. But it came from a culture thousands of years ago when God said it's ok to have many multiple wives, and Concubines (Sex Slaves) of little girls, for the kings pleasure. God even approved of Slaves. And you have the nerve to say that this God expects humans to be perfect and to ask him for forgiveness for all our sins or he just loves us enough to Condemn us to be tortured for all eternity. Really !!! I mean Really !!!! Sounds like God needs some counseling on Love. The OT portrays God as a Killer, and with a very bad temper, not a very nice God if one wants to ask that question. But I suggest the OT was mostly a Metaphor of stories for ancient uneducated people trying to explain what they just didn't know. I mean Building Arks?,Floods, and being eaten by a whale ? Sacrificing your Son, Nice bedtime stories, but not very relevant in a complex modern society 6 thousand years later.
I have children and if they cursed me, hated me or did me wrong, I might not be happy about it, in fact I would grieve deeply, but I would never stop loving them, nor would I even remotely consider killing them, and I'm just a simple human father a human being and quite imperfect.
Hell is a myth created to control men, and Religion was created to control men.
My God is Love, and Love doesn't kill. God doesn't Kill. Have I ever asked God to forgive me for my mistakes??, Yes Indeed I have, but not doing so in fear that God would kill me for my imperfections, but more for His guidance to be a better loving person. This is my belief. God is Good.
And you my friend are spiritually awake! Most Christians have no clue and are taught by pastors that have no clue as well. It's a vicious cycle that IF Satan does exist, he has used religion to make people think our loving God will send us to hell for simply being the way we were created. Satan would love nothing more than for God's creation to be torched for eternity.
Our God is a God of vast diversity and He created diversity in everything. Look at all the different animals, sea life, reptiles, birds, insects, trees, plants, solar systems, and yes - HUMANS! We are all created differently so why in the world would God expect us all to BELIEVE the same way and believe in ONE thing! Absolutely nonsense to say the least! I suggest watching some of Aaron Abke's videos. He is a pastor that explains the bible the way it supposed to be taught without all the nonsense! Here is a video for starters and he breaks it down that the HELL religions teach doesn't even exist. ALL A MYTH! czcams.com/video/sQEoz8BuSA0/video.html
@@Total_Body_Fitness_USA this is what confuses me, there are so many different groups of Christians like Catholics Methodist so on. And while they’re all about basically the same thing, they’re all different. Like Catholics worship marry, but at Baptist’s say to only worship god. With all these different separated groups of Christians, how do you know which one is actually the right one?
@@OverdoseOfNostalgia Where you have diversity, you will have a difference of opinions and this is why there are so many different religions. There are many cultures and while we are all humans, we are all different and NO GOD would expect us to ALL believe in ONE thing when it comes to Him. Religion however can be good in a sense because most people who are dedicated to their religion tend to be better people. They tend to work hard, help others, and in general just be peaceful people. Of course there are other religions that are the opposite and teach hate IF you don't believe the way they do. Extremists are just one example of this. Christians tend to bash and judge people for not believing the way they do. They will curse you to hell for failing to believe the way they do. Religion is like politics. It has caused SO MUCH division on this earth, but it's all MAN MADE! People have believed for thousands of years that God needs some kind of sacrificial offering in order for you to be pleasing or loved by Him. This is ridiculous! Even today you still have "human" sacrificial offerings that a lot of religions take part in. The Mexican Cartel is one example of carrying out these ceremonies!
The key is to seek out GOD, our Creator with all your heart, mind, and soul and ASK Him for TRUTH! I did this 20 years ago when I was in bondage in the Christian church. WOW, God showed up and He showed me the REAL HIM, and His name is LOVE! Love is the key and it opens all doors here on earth and on the spiritual side as well. God is love, Jesus is love, and BOTH ARE ONE because of LOVE. If you want to be ONE with God and ALL of His creation, then LOVE is the key, BUT you cannot know TRUE love unless you KNOW GOD!
Love covers a multitude of sin! Love holds NO fault! Love conquers everything that is negative, dark, evil, and it heals everything from A to Z! I encourage you to research universal laws. Here is a good start and this will open your eyes to how God created the universe to self regulate ALL MAN regardless of beliefs.

Once you understand God's nature, you will understand that He is all about diversity and where you have diversity you will have disagreement. However, we should all be able to love one another despite our differences because we are ALL created by ONE GOD and a part of ONE GOD! We are TRULY ALL ONE, but it is our EGOS that separate us from one another!

phoebe De Monte Falcon Let me give my 2 pence....when the Lord created us he gave us the ability to procreate. We know that because of sin, evil and all the bad things in this world exist, the Lord created everything to be good our rebellion against him is what causes things to be bad. Now God can’t just take take away our ability to reproduce because evil people are going to be born. Imagine a couple wanting to have kids should God not allow them to reproduce because that child will be evil. No, he allows them to be born and he will use them ultimately to fulfil his will. God is infinite so it is hard for us with our finite selves to comprehend how God works.

What if you give up all your sins but still choose to not be a Christian? It is possible to do that you know. If sin means stealing, doing drugs, sex addiction, abusing others, lying, cheating, etc., then you can still give up all your sins without being a Christian. The idea that simply not becoming a Christian is a sin is totally untrue. There is nothing sinful about choosing to not believe in a religion. It does no harm to you, the world, or anybody around you. Real sins cause harm to you, the world, and those around you. Anything that doesn't is not a sin.

Thank you for speaking about the western view.

Just like a mafia boss?
Return to the Creator who made you. He loves you and wants you in His life.
In the beginning we rejected God. imagine if all your most prized, most loved, most beautiful artwork just got up and decided to walk away, throwing insults and hate and disgust back at you because they were made of your design and not their own? Or because they simply didn't like who you were as a person? When all you wanted to do was to be with them and glorify them forever?
Rejection of the Creator is sin, because rejection of God is the rejection of love, and from true love sprouts the goodness of the heart. For God is love, and love is God.
1 John 4:8 "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love".
If you do not love God, you hate God, which means you hate love.
Hell is simply the absence of God's grace.
He loves you so much and desires for you to be with Him. Don't stray any longer from the love of God, repent, believe in Jesus and live with Him in His eternal kingdom. 😊 Amen
@@Claudia-qj4ur but at the same time why should all of humanity be punished due to adam and eve eating the apple?
@Rico When you come before a judge after committing a crime, and you have no witness to compensate for your charge, what do you perceive that the judge will do? The judge will charge you guilty, and sentence you to condemnation.
You will not be let free, regardless of your crime. We are not counted as "innocent" in the court room just because our crime is less valid than the next person's is. All crime is valid. And in the court room, everything comes before the Judge. And if you are guilty, then you will receive the penalty for your sins.
We are all sinners, and we all stand guilty before God. But for those who have repented in Christ and have turned from their sin, Jesus will stand as the ultimate Witness. He will throw His hand in the air while a man is on trial and protest: "Through My blood that was spilled and My body that was slain on the cross, this man's debt has been paid!" and a repented sinner will walk free of charge.
All sin is equally punishable by Death. Jesus said, "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell." Matthew 5:29
If an eye is a sin you have committed, whether you have lust after someone or uttered a curse, if you do not cut that sin out of your life then your sin carries you to death, whether you're reborn in Christ or not.
A sinful person CANNOT stand before the presence of God and not be destroyed. He is too Holy. If our souls are eternal, and a sinner stands in the presence of Holy fire (which sin cannot withstand), then that destruction will only be eternal, therefore the soul will perish forever. The Father cannot stand before sin, lest He destroy it. In hell, you are in the presence of God, but a sinner therefore stands and perishes in the presence of His holy fire.
So whether you deem yourself innocent or not, if you have not repented you are a sinner, and you are guilty of charge.
But God became flesh and died for our sins, so that we might only reach out to Him with a repentant heart and be saved.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life".
John 3:16
So we must repent of all our sin, so that we can kneel before God and not perish.
@@Jcon4002 First of all there was no apple, no apple was ever mentioned in the book of Genesis or ever had any relevance to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In fact, there wasnt a specified fruit, full stop. The eating of the fruit was a metaphor for "laying" with one another, or in other words, having sex (hence why Adam and Eve both became suddenly aware of their nakedness and felt a need to cover themselves.
Genesis 3:7
"Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings."
So the tree represented the knowledge of sin and the pleasures of the flesh (that was evil), and obviously, the alternative, goodness (decency, righteousness, holiness).
Now, Adam and Eve were man and woman and they, in the beginning, did and to this day still do represent man in all his strengths and vulnerabilities.
In those moments (upon the two of them taking from the tree), Adam and Eve represented the face of humanity, in that, were anyone there in that situation, you or I, we would have given ourselves over to temptation.
So it's completely fair to say that it was not the fault of Adam and Eve, rather, it was the fault of humanity. Because God knew the depths of the soul and spirit of every man and woman, in His image, before He even created the flesh of Adam and Eve. We were in the beginning with God. We are not the result of Adam and Eve populating the earth. We were already designed with bountiful purpose and immeasurable value before the beginning of man's Reign on earth. God knew who we were before the foundation of the earth! (Ephesians 1:4, Revelation 13:8)
And He knew that we would fall, but we were always destined to fall, and experience free will. Many suffer today as a result of humanities' weakness for free will; for temptation. But the wicked will not go unpunished, and the oppressors of the world will be harshly judged [Prov].
Free will allows us to do whatever we want with our choices and our actions. To lead our own paths, and come back to God in our own time. But many do not, and many suffer because of it. However that does not mean that there is little hope for the lost, for there is much. For Christ serves out hope abundantly.
"For blessed are those who are poor in spirit now, who are meek, who are but children, for theirs is the kingdom of God" [Matt, Mark]. (paraphrased).
Free will allowed us to fall away from God. It was free will, that God must have so fearfully given to man, knowing that His children would reject Him.
And although God is angry that we deliberately fell away from Him, still He gave it all up for us on the cross, and He did not forsake us.
Because He loves us so very much, He sacrificed His life for us that we would have a way back to Him, amidst the free will that we chose over Him, our own Father.
Remember that God loves you to die for you, and intended for you to experience life, and to have a purpose, you alone are significant to God.
And even though you may not feel it, God's relentless, radiant love showers down on you all hours of the day.

God is never Sinful, He is Holy, Just, and Perfect, He didn't Create You sinful, He created you as A Beautiful Saint, But Society Change you. Look my friend, "Sins doesn't Control over you, You Allow Sins to control You". .. You need to learn To say 'No' to your Flesh.

There are 4 billion people in Africa and Asia alive today who never heard of Jesus. Through history this would amount to at least 65 billion people but the number is likely much higher. Are they all in (going to) hell?
No the gospel will be preached to entire world then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
@@mommaof6 I agree and the only way that is possible, is if the Gospel will be preached to those who have not heard it after they have died.
It's up to God to decide, God knows everything, so He know what those people would do if they heard the gospel, God will do what is right.
The idea that "good" people go to hell is in complete contradiction to the Bible and doesn't answer the problem of the accessibility of Christianity in of itself. The idea of "knowing God" from a Christian perspective is a criteria for not going to hell is full of logical fallacies. Christianity was only readily available to the world in the last 500 years. Meaning millions "went to hell" due to the availability and accessibility of "God" from a Christian perspective. Unfortunately, the last statement in this video is in fact false. The Christian message was not available to all people.
Well said. Sadly, unbelievers will get exactly what they want. Complete separation from God. I used to be an atheist for most of my life. Thankfully Jesus rescued me from that deception. To any unbeliever reading this, Jesus really does exist and life with Him is infinitely better than without Him. I loved my atheist life, but nothing begins to compare to knowing Jesus. If you seek Jesus with a truly genuine, humble, and repentant heart you will receive the evidence of His existence. He loves you.
Crazy how you’re down with the us dude sending people to hell. Have some goddamn courage to admit it’s a horrible idea an all powerful thing wouldn’t need to use.
I don’t want to be in a heaven let alone be with a hell maker. I also don’t want to be in it’s hell, so no, I don’t “get what I want” I get what god forces. So ridiculous, Alton were never an “atheist” for “most” of your life. You were agnostic at best. Doesn’t your god hate liars? Or not he act of lying? Belief isn’t a choice, go choose to believe fire isn’t hot, touch it for a long time and see if your choice actually works.
I stopped following God and I feel on top of the world, bettet than I ever have ever!
@@kadinturner1816 good for you. No point in wasting your time fearing what doesn’t exist, or at least isn’t proven.
No one knows why God ordained some to condemnation and others to be Predestinated to Heaven. Jude ( 1:4) Men of old ordained to this condemnation. Romans (8:29) For whom He did foreknow- them He also did Predestnate to be conformed to the image of His Son. Grace is the unmerited favor of God. According to the Doctrine of Election- God chose His family before the foundation of the world. Ephesians (1:4) According as He hath chosen us before the foundation of the World. God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation. ( 2) Thessalonians 2:13
The doctrine of Election looks unfair to the Human mind- but God already wrote down the names of His chosen elect family in the Lambs Book of Life before the world was created. The scriptures above prove my statements. There's more proof- but need to save that for another time.
Your god some m***********
@@holyinquisition8854 Isaiah 55:8
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
Ephesians 1:11
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.
Why God has prejudged everyone is a question only God can answer. Gods ways are much higher than our ways. Gods thoughts are much higher than our thoughts.
@@davidhall3747 yeah sure, let's just throw the argument: "God works in mysterious ways". If God was benevolent he would actually try to help the sinners instead of tormenting them uselessly, and the thoughts of God from the bible are similar to a warlord mentality.
Most Christians have no clue and are taught by pastors that have no clue as well. It's a vicious cycle that Satan has used to make people think our loving God will send us to hell. Satan would love nothing more than God's creation to be torched for eternity. Absolutely nonsense. I suggest watching some of Aaron Abke's videos. He is a pastor that explains the bible the way it supposed to be taught without all the nonsense! Here is a video for starters. czcams.com/video/sQEoz8BuSA0/video.html
SO we came to this planet to suffer. Is that why my life has been this way since childhood? I guess i was part of the rebel angels or did something terrible. Well...what can we do.
Jesus Christ is our only hope.call on the name of the Lord.
Our parents: I brought you into this world and I can take you out!
Us: Scary, but I'm fine with that
God: I bought you into this world and I can take you out!
Us: OH MY GOSH! WHAT A HORRIBLE PERSON!
thats just a saying, parents dont actually kill their children. even if they did kill their children which would be horrible, it would still not be as bad as eternal suffering moron
If your parents actually did that they would indeed be horrible people.
Maybe the reason why God sends people is that God doesn't want them in hell but he has no choice but to do the right decision
You right he probably didn’t want Jesus dying for us but he had to choice but too .
How could this make any sense? A God that created the universe and humans, but he or it or whatever God is that created everything has an obligation to torture people for eternity because they didn't figure something from a book that doesn't make any sense at all? Makes no sense at all really.
Just because Adam and Eve disobeyed God, why do we have to inherit their wrongdoing and become sinners too? Didn't God literally create us to be sinners, just because two people from the past did not obey? Its like saying a prisoner having a baby in prison, and the baby being guilty too. How could a loving God do that? God literally created all the sin in the world. And does punishment for sin really have to be eternal? God claims himself to be a loving God, but THAT does NOT describe love to me.
What is love to you?
If you don't believe God, but respect others who believe in him and respect the idea of God himself, can you still go to heaven
Why do many have this fixation about going to heaven? Go there and do what?
The earth is and will be humans home.
Psalm 37:29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.
We have been brainwashed to believe that we can live outside our bodies and travel here and there. See and speak without the organs to do so which are rotting in the grave. Why don't people just reason.
Just a thought.
@@TomeRodrigo okay then let's all be ghost ls instead
I dont glorify myself nor do I glorify a being I've never meet but been told by other humans to believe in I was born in another man's dream I have to have hobbies that were never created by me I'm a copy of thousands of other copies
If you only love God to avoid going to hell...you'll hate going to heaven too.
If the love is true then it doesn't matter. Love is love. You are right to love God because you fear Hell. It's part of the reason Hell exists. To steer us toward the light.
yeah, eternal worshipping seems pretty boring. 😕
@@Claudia-qj4ur Yeah though I couldn't love or want to be with a God that would damn people to burn for eternity under his biggest traitor of all...late response I know.
@@glow2590 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is... not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentence"
God, who created all things, who knows the hairs on your head, who formed you and all creation through love (John 1:1-3 "All things were made through Him." 1 John 4:8 "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."). God made all things through love. But God does not, cannot, love sin. God hates sin, and he who is not of God is of the devil, because he is a sinner. But once you become reborn, your sinful self passes away (2 Corinthians 5:17) "whoever is in Christ; he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new." God no longer looks at you as a sinner, and you are eternally clean and right standing before the sight of Him, living hence forth by the grace of God. A reborn Christian cannot sin, because they are saved from sin (1 John 3:9). Likewise, a sinner cannot enter the Kingdom of God, because he is not saved from his sin. God loves you, He, Jesus, suffered and died for you, nailed to the cross, to take the blame for your sins and bear the punishment that we all deserve, so that you might turn from living for the god of this world the Devil, be saved from the wages of sin, entering into eternal salvation to become children of the Most High God.
If you only love God to avoid hell, then you don't actually love Him.......
So does god want to or need to use a hell?. Which is it.
this is the messed up part i dont get and i know you got to talk to the man itself if its true that he actually listens to you, but one meaning us didnt ask to be born but we still did, and me having gone through alot of things i mean alot not having food electricity water, walking miles in the sun rain under 0 deegres, being hit on, threaten by murder by a organize crime and still things happen, i just dont get how after all that god still does a threat to you that he will send you to hell because you might slack on something you might do 9 things correct but 1 thing is sending you there, i just think its messed up i feel like im being bullied by god and theres no response from him.
4:09 this is a mark of a Man of God
but how can you be ok believing in an idea that sends undeniably good people like Ghandi to a place of eternal suffering? That if this is the case he is experiencing as I type this… Or that sends people who just never really any choice in what faith they would follow in life? Please understand i’m not trying to anger anyone or troll, I’m just genuinely curious as the idea of eternal suffering for people who are genuinely good at heart confuses me.
And yes I know he addressed this point in the video itself but I feel as though he never fully answered the question :/
I will go where I go
Most of us going to h311 not because of sinful desires but because ignorance and lack of knowledge hence the confusion
I wouldn't want to join a club that turns away Ghandi, but has Fred Phelps Sr as a member.
Ghandi was a rapist.
The WBC isn’t biblical
I have been looking for answers for many years. Correct me, if I am wrong, but what you said is, it doesn't matter what our works are. It doesn't matter how we live. It doesn't matter our knowledge. If we don't know God, we burn in hell. Those how do not know God, burn in hell. A giving man who has never learned Gods way, burns in hell. Correct?
Total nonsense as I was stuck in the Christian bondage for years before I finally woke up over 20 years ago. Most Christians have no clue and are taught by pastors that have no clue as well. It's a vicious cycle that Satan has used to make people think our loving God will send us to hell. Satan would love nothing more than God's creation to be torched for eternity. Absolutely nonsense.

No one is good, we all deserve to go to hell, but God saved us by dying on the cross and then rising from the dead on the third day, all we have to do is accept Him.
People often ask how God, who loves us unconditionally, can send people (or allow them to go) to hell. It makes no sense to them and claim that God would be hypocritical. What people don't realize is that sin cannot dwell in the place of God for He is holy. It's not that God chooses to send people to hell, or allows people to go to hell when He can just save them all if He can choose to do so. It is all because of sin.
It is sin that separates us from God. We've been separated from God ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God's command to never eat from the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil. Mankind was doomed for destruction ever since. But because God loves us unconditionally, He sent his one and only Son, Jesus, to die for the sins of mankind as a sin offering, and whoever believes in Jesus as their Savior shall be saved.
What is darkness? It is the absence of light. Light is symbolic for the glory of God; His divine presence. Jesus described hell as "outer darkness" (Matt. 8:12). So hell is a place where the glory of God is absent, and thus heaven is a place where the glory of God is present. God gave humans free will. We can choose to follow Him or not to follow Him. If you choose to accept Jesus as your Savior and repent of your sins, you will be forgiven of your sins. If you choose not to accept Jesus as your Savior, then you are not forgiven of your sins and will die with your sins.
Again, sin cannot dwell in the place of God. And because some people die with their sins and never asked for forgiveness, their sins prevent them from being allowed in the presence of God because He is holy. So it's not that God condemns people to hell, but that people in their sins are not allowed in the presence of God and is therefore left to exist in hell which was originally the place destined for Satan and his demons who also went against God.
People may try to reason that God then ultimately created humans to suffer because not all of them will know God and Jesus. And the main reason that the world doesn't know God is BECAUSE of Satan and his demons. They are still at work to this day to separate as many humans as possible from God by hiding the truth in God's existence while also hiding their existence from this world. It is ultimately Jesus who will judge the world by the testimony of their faith. So if you are questioning about those who have died never knowing God and Jesus, their fate is up to God and is something we'll never know.
God created satan tho, i cant wrap my head around it. hes all knowing he knew satan would cause this destruction but created him anyway. logically, god is the the ultimate source of evil
@@rachael2803 Satan was also once an angel created by God. Angels also were also given free will, just like how we humans have free will. Satan, or known as Lucifer before his downfall, was one the highest and mightiest angels. Lucifer became proud and arrogant in his beauty, elegance, and wisdom, and thought that he himself should be higher than God. God creates out of love and provides free will. Otherwise, if he forces all of his creation to love him back, then we're mere robots. God wants us to love Him in our own free will.
Like you said, God is omniscient (all-knowing) and his reasoning transcends above all human reasoning and comprehension. Therefore, we as human beings with limited understanding, can never fathom how God thinks; human logic cannot be equaled to God's logic. So there is already the notion of fallacy trying to reason that God is "all knowing he knew satan would cause destruction but created him anyway." God has an ultimate purpose that we may never fully understand. All He asks is that we trust Him and believe in the Son, Jesus, that He had sent.
JSK90589 It still doesnt take away the fact that he knew it would happen, that makes God immoral. If i created a robot knowing its main purpose was to destory and inflict pain and suffering to the world yet i unleash it anyway, who is ultimately responsible for the pain and suffering? me. A loving God is not logical
@@rachael2803 God is more than just. Our reasoning of what is moral and immoral comes partly from God, yet we still can't grasp with our finite understanding. You don't know what God's ultimate purpose is for all of His creation, so how can you justify in saying that God is immoral? His thoughts are not our thoughts, and neither are our ways His ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Our limited understanding of time will never give us the ability of knowing what it is like to be onmiscent. Our reasoning limits us to question as to why God created Lucifier and angels in the first place, when He knew Lucifer would go against him with his free will. Then why did God even create humans in the first place, knowing that they would also disobey under Satan's temptation and deception? We don't have an answer for that because God's thoughts and ways are higher than we'll ever be. It takes a bumpy road to become successful. Perhaps all these "bad things" are needed to take place for the greater good. Who knows, but God?
JSK90589 I dont think we get our morals from the christian god, his acts in the old testament are not moral by today’s standards or any rational person (it would take too long to go into but if you haven’t researched it i suggest you do). A more logical explanation is that the christian God is not real. I’m not being hostile this is just my opinion. Although i disagree, thank you for replying and trying to shed some light on the question. You are right, questions like these cannot be answered, but when we apply logic to them we get a better understanding.
I love Jesus but I still struggle to believe and understand this. How can God teach us to do charity and do God's work by loving and helping others but you're saying we go to heaven based on our faith alone and not on our own good doings? So if someone live to help people with their good hearted intentions just to help people with any motives to gain heaven or anything but doesn't accept Jesus, but if one kills, murder, does ALL THE WRONG DOING, repents and seeks Jesus, he gets a pass to heaven but the one that does goodness his entire life gets sent to hell??? Yes Jesus is our salvation, but your'e saying good deeds and kindness will not even be considered? So in that case why would people help and do all kind acts for, if one can just keep committing crime and does no kind acts but ask for forgiveness from Jesus again and again and gets to go to heaven?
Christians: seek truth and you shall find it.
Me: *Studies and seeks truth with an open mind, and then finds enough evidence not to believe*
