If we are ALL gods children and he sends some of to burn in h**l, is that technically child abuse?

Question

That's like parents pouring lighter fluid on their kids for coming home past curfew and never following the rules...... then saying that they loved them so much.

I really want to believe in a God. I try everyday. Ive even tried prayer and I just do not feel it. Never have . I think crowds and social gatherings of related faiths make certain people believers of a religion or ideology.

Answer 1

Yes he evidently is not well-acquainted with the concept of parent-child unconditional love...

Answer 2

It's also sexual abuse

Answer 3

The ones that burn in h**l are Satan's kids.  

Answer 4

Yep call 911 and sue god.

Answer 5

Yes. It is.  It's evil.

Answer 6

Yes, yes it is.

On the other hand, if we are not all god's children, what authority does he have over those of us who aren't? If he's not my father, **** him.

Answer 7

We are not all God's Children. Everyone is Satan's Children until they are Born Again, at the time they are Born Again they become God's Children.

Answer 8

The Bible makes it very clear that we are Not all God's children. We become a Child of God by choice, by believing in Jesus, repenting of our sins, and following the steps of Jesus. That is the only way to become a child of God.

Jesus himself called the Pharisees the children of the devil.

Nowhere does the Bible teach that everyone is a child of God.

Answer 9

We're NOT all God's children.

Answer 10

Well, not all God's children are 10 years old.

Answer 11

just tell who ever made god that he is going that.

Answer 12

no that would be the child running into the fire with absolute no help he tries to save you but he wants you to save ur self as well.

Answer 13

Gods children are the ones who hear his voice and come to him to be saved, the rest are children of satan

Answer 14

God must be fair and just. It would be unfair to good people to allow the bad people to go unpunished.

Answer 15

omg this is exactly how I feel!!!!

Answer 16

No, it is not child abuse, it is justice.  

Answer 17

that is funny

Answer 18

Its a bit like driving past a church and seeing a sign saying "the procession above is not accessable to those that are evel!" therefore saying if your not born with a silver spoon in your mouth its because your bad , dont take any notice of these religous nuts

Answer 19

idk but if god is so forgiving then y did he kick adam and eve out of the garden and never let them back in?

Answer 20

Hello. You have a very good question. Not too many people want to really think about h**l. But for me, I believe that it isn't God who sends anybody to h**l, it is ourselves. I believe that you are no more sent to h**l for  being a bad person that you are sent to Heaven for being a good person. If we could get to Heaven by our good works, then Jesus wouldn't have had to die. Our emotions can change about 1,000 times a month about one particular situation in our lives. If you think about it, I'm sure you can agree. And if you don't feel His presence, most of the time, it is usually due to the amount of time we spend getting to truly know God on a daily basis. How can you have any kind of relationship with someone you are pursuing without taking lots of time everyday to build that bond. Don't beat yourself up, if you are truly sincere about wanting to believe. Just the mere fact that you are concerned means God is calling for you. When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden they hid. God went looking for them despite the fact. God gave us His son for means of salvation. It is up to us to choose. There are people out there that God knows only you can reach, only you can make a difference, whereas I couldn't from who knows how far apart we live. Don't let the opportunity pass you by. :)

Answer 21

You got a problem with how God runs things, YOU tell Him how screwed up He is.  Go ahead, I DARE YOU.  WA WA WA

Answer 22

If we're all god's children than that maniac is behind on child support!

Answer 23

In My Opinion, Yes.  If You Truly Love Someone, You Won't Hurt Them.  That's The Bottom Line.  You Especially Wouldn't Make It Eternal.  Its Not "for their own good", Though They're Always Using That Excuse To Justify Themselves.

No Matter What Some People Will Say, Nobody Is Sending Themselves To h**l, Subconsciously Or Otherwise...And h**l Is In No Way Justice.

Thumbs Down!

Answer 24

Suppose your idea of h**l is wrong?  Suppose h**l is right here on earth, and if you don't reach your soul's potential in this life, you have to come back and try again ?  It isn't God sending you, but, it's your choice.  When asked about h**l, Christ pointed to the garbage dump, burning continually, and it was caused Hades, He said that was" like" h**l.  We each may have to live many lifetimes before we reach our soul's potential.  It always comes back to the same answer and that is love.  When we love, when we feel that indescribable sense of joy, we are in touch with our spirit. When we feel that way, we are unable to choose evil, to harm anyone.  God is love.

Answer 25

Thanks a good way of looking at it. It takes the whole grounding thing to a whole new level. I love you, but you have to suffer for all eternity now! Yet another contradiction by christians!

Answer 26

I used to be unbelieving because of the same question you ask here...

Why would a God of Love and is quoted in the bible as "God is Love"

burn people (his children..  as we are referred to) in everlasting pain forever and ever. I know if I were a parent, I couldn't see myself setting my child on fire even if he was Hitler..  a parent loves their child too much.

I found a teacher who taught what the manuscript says in the original languages and it opened my eyes up to what answer I was seeking all along. I do not believe in this "h**l" that is believed in by most people. I believe in the "Lake of Fire" and God will destroy souls of the wicked and Satan, and it's not a forever burning, but an actual nonexistence and being without an everlasting soul and without God. It is a hard concept to grasp..  It opened up a whole world of new questions for me to ask myself. If you want your faith to grow stronger..  don't just believe what I or other people tell you. Go seek these answers for yourself and you will make your beliefs stronger.

Answer 27

You must not ever read questions others ask because this one gets asked all the time.  God doesn't send anyone to burn in h**l, the people who go to h**l go their by choice.  They have chosen to reject God in life and have nothing to do with Him, therefore it stands to reason that a person who wants nothing to do with God will want nothing to do with Heaven.

Answer 28

....im speechless.

no.

only the people who believe in him, who choose to do things that are terrible decide their own fate.

its not like god condemns us.

or puts us on a scale to see if we are a good or bad egg

Answer 29

You know what?  You are a THINKING person.  You have made the statement that I have tried to use to reason with people who believe in hellfire.  Everything that hellfire stands for, God stands against.  "With evil things God cannot be tried" is what the Bible says.  If he was disgusted with the false religions who made their children "pass through the fire" (or sacrificed them to false gods) then how would he himself send his children to burn in a fiery torment forever.

Hellfire is a FALSE doctrine that has NO BIBLICAL SUPPORT.

If you want scriptures and Greek/Hebrew translations, let me know.  I'll be glad to help :)

PS.  God is love.....love is not torturing your child.  If you REALLY want to believe in God, pray to him and ask him to show you the TRUTH, what the Bible REALLY teaches.  Pray THROUGH Jesus, not to him.  Use God's personal name (Jehovah---found at Psalm 83:18)...you'll have results, I promise.
