When do you think this is going to occur? Do you think he will show any mercy?
It is being set up in progress now, but will come at the appointed time. God alone makes that decision on whom he will show mercy. He is the Creator.
Prov 11:17 The merciful man does himself good, But the cruel man does himself harm
I thought you said soon..So mercy is debatable , is there any clue in scriptures who will and who wont? Is it all down to this creator who will judge his imperfect creation...Dont you find it just a bit strange that he created us imperfect and then judges us because we failed? Imperfection fails, you cant judge a product that was faulty , so why a human. If my son lost his legs i would not chastise him for not walking to school. I find your god just a little sickening, to be honest.
Yes, it is sooner than many realize. He has spoken he is sending tribulation upon the entire earth and it will soon come forth. You will see it. Yes, He is a God of wrath and to fear.
Some where in the verses he spoke of making some eat the flesh of their children as famine and destruction are a part of the package that is arriving soon.
If a product is faulty, then it doesn't work right when purchased and it is thrown away.
Would you keep anything that is faulty? And can not be used for your purposes? Of course you'd toss it out immediately, so does God.
I cant wait , what a feast we will have. Tell me why do you not see the stupidity of your dogmatic faith? I will ask again why did god make us imperfect? I would love to hear you answer..
God didn't make us imperfect, man did it to himself. He took the bite from the tree of Good and EVIL, on his own, when God told him not to eat of that tree....hello? and then he tried to put the blame on some one else...telling God EVE was to blame....hello? didn't want to take the blame for his own fall, but to blame others.
Kinda the way you perceive God. Wanting to blame God for your way of destruction that you yourself have created. You alone are responsible for how you act. You can lie to yourself and say what you do, that God made us this way. That is deception in your mind.
The Lord is soon to come with many thousands of His holy ones,
to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
Every bad word spoken against him will be brought forth in judgment.
I ask a question.
If there's another life after death, why do we call the person who kills others a murderer? Why do we try and sentence the murderer? Why don't we reward the person for his "sending others to another world"?
I want to know why people would want to have something after living this now life ,to be honest. Why is there such a need to understand that after this life,there is more? Do you not value,or enjoy this life enough to consider it to be worth what it is,and that's that?
I do believe that our actions,and what we do on this earth,that effects others who will live on after we pass,can be ''life after death''. As people keeping our memory in their hearts and mind til they die. Unless you're someone who does something that MANY people notice,and effects them to the point of it becoming apart of history,and knowledge of this earth.
Also,if there is life after death does that mean there is a life before this one? What do we call that? and the one before that? Where does it start,where does it end? I know very little of the religions that believe in past lives, and such. So some insight would be nice. However, still i'm a strong believer that all these religions and theories are just a way to put most people in a comfort zone of ''everything will be alright,as long as we do what we're suppose to do,so when we pass, we'll be in this blissful (or higher place in life) status'' so to speak.
Quite the contrary, I enjoy this life more now than I ever have. And knowing I am going to have it on a grander scale at the Lord's coming, it excites me beyond words. To have grasp what is ahead in the kingdom of God here on earth, means I will have joy continuously and there will be no more death to have to suffer...that is good news.
That's true, but what's the chance of someone today being able to do that? You either come from money that enables you to do these things and make a great name for yourself, but the average Joe will never do these things and it is chasing an illusive butterfly, don't you think?
There are more poor in the world than rich, and more poor than famous, and the fame of most die quickly after they die. And the poor is growing increasingly in higher numbers all over the world. So where does fame get you? So, unless your born into wealth to make a name for yourself, the odds are really stacked against you.
There is great happiness in living this life, when you understand why you were created and the One who created you.
In my opinion the religions of this earth for the most part do not teach God correctly in their doctrines of the hereafter. Nor do they teach about God correctly in this Age of man God created.
I am a believer of the Great God Almighty, and His Son. And He is coming to judge all men for their deeds they do, whether good or bad.
So the kind of person we ought to be should be one seeking out the one who gives life and takes it.
The Father, has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the man HE has appointed, Jesus Christ, his Son. The proof of all of this to all men is the Father raised Jesus from the dead, and the Name Jesus goes through out the earth to this Day.
The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by men's hands. For God is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
God commands all people everywhere to repent for He has a Day set aside to return to the earth and judge the people of the earth.
Because people do not really believe what they imagine they believe. If a father kills his children, believing that in so doing he is sending them to heaven, a place where they can never be harmed in any way, he is, if caught in most places, going to go on trial for murder rather than be given a medal for being Father of the Year, even by people who claim to believe in heaven.
In other words, people are irrational and inconsistent.

When you die the one who remembers you, will be the One who created you.
There is great happiness in living this life, when you understand why you were created and the One who created you walks and speaks to you.

''I want you to know, when it comes to believing in god- I really tried. I really really tried. I tried to believe that there is a god who created each one of us in his own image and likeness, loves us very much and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize...something is FUCKED-UP. Something is WRONG here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is NOT good work. If this is the best god can do, I am NOT impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. This is the kind of **** you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. And just between you and me, in any decently run universe, this guy would have been out on his all-powerful-ass a long time ago.''

Sounds like you've suffered a lot of hurt in your life.
It is not easy to see pain and suffering and around us, and we wonder how can this be? Not only does this world suffer, but Jesus also suffered, but his was willingly.
You see Jesus suffered at the hands of men, a crucifixion and a flogging before they hung him and spat in his face, he was beaten beyond recognition even by his own people. All of what happened to him is written in the bible.
The God Almighty, anointed his Son, Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, who went through out the towns of Israel doing good and healing all who were under the power of the Devil, and he did this because God Almighty was with him.
The world's people took Jesus and hung him on a tree because Jesus claimed to be God's Son. He did nothing but good, healing the sick, raising the dead and giving them back to their families, but they killed him any way.
You say how can God let pain and suffering exist in this world and we be his children? Because the good God came to do he was turned away from and told he wasn't wanted.
In his loving way, he has provided away for those who want to turn to him to come to him and be healed and watched over from the god of this world Satan who inflicts pain and suffering on the whole world.
