Hello

[NBTT]

I don't trust god one iota. Think about it, why did he choose to put us on a planet where there is UV light, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsumanis, countries that historically cannot get along, on and on? Does anyone actually have any proof that a "heaven" exists? We have to accept an extreme life to be worthy of god's love? Is god a narcissists? Have you ever met a narcissist in real life? Sickening.

That is a hard problem. The classic book The Problem of Pain is a quality attempt at addressing it but TBH when we're going through tough times that feels like an academic exercise rather than comfort. Pray and even challenge God to show that He is real and tell Him that you need His real help.

The only help that he provides is pain and misery.

Hello @planet2146
Welcome to Talk Jesus an online community of Jesus Christ believers, of which from you bio, and postings so far you are not one. lol
With that being said, before I address some of those comments. Be Welcome!!! I hope that in you being here, that you will be disabused of certain things, and become aware of one thing and that is that God actually Loves you! Sometimes its hard to figure when we put the blame on him for how our lives are going, with Him in the drivers seat!

Anyway, I hope you will have your heart softened, eyes opened, and your mind provided with clarity at least in part to how awesome He really is. Again, be welcomed in the name of Jesus Christ.

By the way are you male or female? I ask this since we have forums restricted for each one. If you let me know which, I'll make the change in your bio, so you can access the appropriate one.

Your reality and my reality of the lord are different. I know one thing, the lord arranges things in such a way that they are difficult to explain. His ways are very nuanced and clandestine. I have also found that there is no such thing as a coincidence and he knows what you are going to think at any precise time as he matches things up in coincidence. I don't believe in "Satan" so that only leaves the almighty one.

So, do you believe in God? If so, which one? Christian one, Muslim one, Buddha, and the list goes on and on.
We can talk about Satan later, because not all of them believe in that one either!

yin and yang, god and the devil are just the frame work of the person pulling the levers. Whatever it is.

It goes back to the above on which God you believe in. (shrug)

Do you live in a monastery? Most of us have to eat, heat and cool our houses unwind from the stresses of life, especially the ones god imposes on us. We need transportation, we have electric bills, car insurance, pay rent or mortgages, health insurance the list goes on and on. Be realistic.

Actually most people in the world would only wish they had those type of problems! So, many don't have enough food to eat, much less homes with a table to put their feet under!

I don't trust god one iota. Think about it, why did he choose to put us on a planet where there is UV light, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsumanis, countries that historically cannot get along, on and on? Does anyone actually have any proof that a "heaven" exists? We have to accept an extreme life to be worthy of god's love? Is god a narcissists? Have you ever met a narcissist in real life? Sickening.

Again, it comes down to which God!

The only help that he provides is pain and misery.

With some of them, I'd agree. However, not with mine Mr/Ms. Planet. It doesn't mean that one doesn't experience those things in life, just He's given us an understanding to see where its coming from, and that one day through His Son Jesus, that it too will pass away. Much joy in Him to look forward to in Heaven. But then again, you have to believe, and have faith. Which in these days is in short supply for most.

Anyway, look forward to talking with you! Enjoy the site, and some really well intentioned folks to interact with too!

With the Love in Christ Jesus.
