Is God that cruel?

[Miri]

Let.s say you have a son..and he did something terible, hurt someone or broke something...you as a parent, would you send him to burn in hell for eternity because of that?...i guess not, cause he's your son and you love him...so i ask you..how could God punish people with an eternity in hell because of their sins...God, who is pure love...he could to that? Isn.t that a little cruel?

Actually God didn’t want to punish us, instead He chose to lay
the punishment for us onto His own son Jesus.

Now imagine you had committed murder you were sentenced
to the electric chair by a judge. Someone then volunteered to take your place so you
could go free. But instead you refused to believe them.
So instead you continued that long walk down to the electric chair
and climbed onto the chair yourself.

Now who is responsible for your death, the judge or yourself.

My point in what i was saying is that..it seems absurd to me that God only created us to live just one life..no other chances to get better. For example there are a lot of kids who die as babies, or 5-6 yrs old and they not even get the chance to live..to know God. How is that possible? Why they haven't got the chance to live?..What is going to happen to them?

So you believe in reincarnation?

You're using New Age philosophy to affect how you perceive God. New Age goes against the concept of the Christian God and is quite in opposition to the biblical God.
If you want to argue or question biblical and spiritual answers then you either have to A) announce your real starting point, or B) readjust to rid yourself of eastern/new age beliefs.
You can't claim a biblical view of God and also refer to non-biblical belief systems, let alone views that blatantly contradict the God of the bible.

Why is that new age philosophy?

So you believe in reincarnation?

...

Yes

 

[maxwel]

Yes

So you believe in reincarnation, and you don't believe God is purely good, but he must be both good and evil?
Is that correct?

Do you adhere to any particular religion, like Buddhism?

Because..it has more sense to me...and no one could convince me otherwise...they don't have any argumenst against it

The new age began when Jesus drew his last breath on the cross.
Ephesians 1:18-23
Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church....


“Eternal God, who are the witness of all things hidden, who knew all things before they are” Daniel 13:42

I like to search about every religion..to understand God from different points of view..and get what i think is right. It's so hard these days with all this religions..soo cofusing

To start with, there is no proof FOR reincarnation... there is no proof for it of any kind... it is just an OPINION that you happen to PREFER.

I personally believe that ALL children are safe under the blood until they reach a point where they understand evil.....David's 1st born with Bathsheba died at one week old and David said...I will go to him and see him again....and David speaks of his salvation in the present tense......I believe this also applies unto all born mentally handicapped as well (the ones who have no cognitive ability) to chose between Jesus and or a rejection of JESUS....

There's not proof...but there are things that can make you question this. For example: Kids that are too talented.. Among the appropriate examples in this is the case of the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,capable of composing simple scores at the age of four and full symphonies in adolescence..or the phenomenon of deja vu...phobias unjustified...

But why did God allow them to be born?..if they were going to die anyway. They had one life..and they haven.t got the chance to live it..seems absurd

I understand that you don't hold the Bible as authoritative, but I hope you will accept what it postulates in Hebrews 9:27 "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment". Reincarnation is inconsistent with the Bible's teaching.

The bilble isn't everything..it doesn't teach you anything

The bilble isn't everything..it doesn't teach you anything

ahhh finally

the actual op

 

[GraceAndTruth]

1. Your entire premise is in error
2. God does not love everybody
3. God gave HIS SON to extreme torment and violent, bloody death for the sake of His elect.

Perhaps you should rephrase?

Open your eyes to the bible.....it will clarify many things that you may think is absurd....

Is point 2 & 3 your belief? If so, are you a Calvinist?
Just getting the question out of the way before it becomes an accusation.
