Is God as good as people say he is?

Archive: 13 posts


this is a question running a cross my mind,

when im in R.E most reigion say that God is this almight person, who is kind and will forgive those who forgive others, i know some religions have more then one God, but i talking about the ones where thier only one God

if god was a good as religion made him or her to be then why hasnt he or her stop all the wrong doing in this world, all the suvvering.

He has the power to help those in need, why doesnt he or her use it.

another question is god Male or female or a transexal

*cue religious debate*

Discussing religion is never a good idea on an internet forum.

Nope, it's not. I'm keeping a close eye on this thread. If it even shows signs of getting out of hand, it's getting locked. I'm trusting that you guys will be mature enough not to turn this into a huge Flame War.2008-10-21 17:48:00

I can see this thread turning upside-down, but oh well...
Let me give it to you from an Islamic perspective.

Life is a test. A test to see who is worthy of entering Heaven, and who is not.
Those that follow the wrong path, and spread evil across the world, those are not worthy of Heaven.

If God were to make everything perfect in the world, then why not send us directly to Heaven?

As for your other question...
God's abilities and description have nothing to do with human realities, and nothing to do with impossibilities.

it wont it a question that i was thinking about while i was in R.E

this is one of those question where no one is right, it would be funny though that every one though God is a man and when they go to pradise or heaven and find out who god is and it turn out to be a female, i would laugue so hard.

I would like to know if god is almight why wont he or she help those in need is their any expenations any storys, i know that their adam and eve and that why the world like it is to day according to the bible, but if God is mercy full why blame their children for what their parent have done

also it something for you guys to think about.

I'm simply blown away at the OP's inability to punctuate or use grammar correctly. I understand this is the "InTRntZ", but seriously?

Would it be funny if God was a woman? Sure, to some people I guess. How is this relevant to anything? Woman are better than men, vice versa, what?

If God is almighty why would God let people suffer? Just because God is all-powerful does not mean God must make everything about lollipops and cheesecake. As Scythe said, in the major monotheistic religions, life is but a test to determine if one is worthy of - let's be general here - Heaven or Hell.

I'm Christian so I'll go with what I know. Ever hear of a man named Job? I suggest you do some reading there to learn about God and His allowance of suffering in the world.

This is supposed to be a friendly forum man, he might be young or something. Not need to be harsh about his grammar etc.

This is true; my deepest apologies if you are a youngster who hasn't quite mastered the English language and all of its intricacies. However, if this excuse doesn't suit your situation...

Seeing as your questions concerning monotheistic religion are rather basic, I'll just assume that you are young. If this is the case and you're interested in studying religion as an idea then I suggest doing so. However, you can't expect to get completely unbiased answers here. Whether it be religion or video games, people have their opinions and will express them. You won't find a definitive answer anywhere; as you said there really aren't answers to the questions you've posed here.

Ok I think one thread about religion a day will suffice. I'm closing this one before it gets ugly. Seeing as I'm the only mod on currently if one of the others comes on and you guys think it should be reopened you can request it then.
