I'm a 19 y/o and i'm starting to lose faith in God. What i think is that if god is almighty and REAL , would innocents all around the world suffer? And these multi-billlionare bitches do whatever they wish to ? If god has the power and still not doing anything, whats the point of having a religion ! Its bullshit. What do you think?
"I'm a 19 y/o and i'm starting to lose faith in God."
Welcome to the realm of sanity.
I never understood this line of thinking.
What would you have God do?
If God killed every bad man or any man about to make a bad choice then free will would not exist. We'd be prisoners.
Talk to your pastor about it and see if you can educate you.
I believe that everything is God. Quantum Physics strengthened that belief. I highly recommend you read or watch videos about Quantum Physics. Scientists now have the advanced technology to zoom in and see the tiniest particles that make up this whole universe. They have found that we are only .000000001% solid/physical and 99.999999999% energy. Because we know that energy can never be created or destroyed but can transform from one form to another, it would make logical sense that the energetic us(our soul) would be recycled into the universe again(reincarnation) and the physical part of us would decay.
To answer your question...God is technically both good and evil because both good and evil things go on and everything is God. Things at this point in time are unbalanced. The scale has tipped more towards evil and you're right, evil people seem to always get away with the terrible things they do while the good usually suffer. It's because things are about to really change...The battle between positive and negative energies is increasing. Everyone is picking a side, whether they are consciously aware of that or not. I know what I'm saying may sound ridiculous and too good to be true but it's the truth. The good are being sifted from the evil and a New Age of peace and enlightenment will soon begin. Watch videos on how Christianity is actually based on astrology.
If you're in the grade where they haven't taught you food chains yet, you shouldn't be on this site. The law of conservation of energy doesn't demand reincarnation. It's what happens when you eat meat. You gain the dead animal's energy. You realize energy isn't some buzzy blue glowiness with mystical abilities, it's actually everything science is based on? I can't imagine what you mean about scientists discovering a solid, non-energy part of us. Things only feel solid because their electron clouds repel yours.
Also, Christianity is based on astrology? Great, now I know that type of spirituality is based on a pseudoscience!
I personally don't believe in Gods I believe in science. We make scientific discoveries everyday. I believe jesus might have been real but to walk on water and make water into wine is utter bullshit. Either way I don't force my beliefs onto others. If people believe in god creating the earth from nothingness then so be it. It is a really cool book though.
I also disagree with the logic. There could be a God who has handed complete control over to us, and won't intervene for his* own reasons.
"If the world was perfect, where would souls go to school?"
Also - and I mean this seriously - there could be a God who's genuinely a bit of an asshole. He lets all these bad things happen. And the rules for getting into "heaven" aren't necessarily fair.
I think if there is a spirit realm, the good/evil thing doesn't really exist there. Not how we see it, anyway. So god could be really unfair by our standards... but being unfair isn't grounds to doubt it's existence.
Complete lack of any evidence is probably better grounds to doubt it.
At the same time, you're right to question your religion. And it's not a totally moot point; it's worth thinking about.
*of course it's a man
You're right! The rules for getting into heaven are not fair at all! God gives us the free will to do our own thing and screw up our lives and the lives of people around us, and then sort of like an earthly parent who's child "can do no wrong", he says "you screwed up, but you know what? I love you so much that I'm going to make like this never happened. I've sent my son Jesus to take the penalty for your sins so that if you will only believe in Him and what He's done for you, you can have a free pass into heaven, into eternal life."
Jesus demonstrated that love when He told His Father to forgive the Roman soldiers who were nailing him to the cross, and when He told the thief on the cross next to him, who professed his belief in Jesus, that the thief would be with Him in paradise. No, it certainly doesn't seem fair to me, but that's how love behaves itself!
That's one thing I never understood; Jesus taking the penalty for all our sins. Does that mean we'll be forgiven for everything..? So, we're sort of "allowed" to sin, as long as we repent?
And couldn't god just forgive us anyway? I don't see why Jesus had to be killed to make that happen. I just don't see the connection there...
