Where is god when this happens?

Question

i am not an atheist but i would like to be honest ,i live in india and there are murders daily in the capital ,half of the murderers are known to everyone ,the underworld don's gang ,why doesn't god help the innocent people ,its like the evil are enjoying a very wealthy and fearless life where as good people are being killed everyday .and please don't give me that h**l and heaven thing ,why doesn't god give justice now ,don't these things make you realize that there is no such thing and you are alone to fight this cruel world

Answer 1

If God gave justice now, there would be no such thing as life. Every second of every day millions of people around the world are thinking evil thoughts. If God had to intervene every time there was an evil or injustice, there would be no time for life. That's just one more proof that man is a lost and sinful creature who is condemned by his own actions. Can't you see that if God intervened you would be punished as well? How many hurtful or hateful things have you ever done? Do you realize that Jesus equated hate with murder?

God intervened at the cross on your behalf. All you have to do is believe and accept it.

Have you ever read the book of Proverbs in the Bible all the way through? If not, then why do you question why God does not intervene? I find that most people who complain about God do not know anything about him. I hope tht's not you.

Why don't you try it and see what you see? Don't tell me that lame excuse "I grew up in a Christian home and we went to Church. I already know everything." when in reality you don't. I hope that's not you.

Some proverbs:

He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished."

-Proverbs 17:5

"O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure."

-Psalm 7:9

"The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern."

-Proverbs 29:7

"Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice."

-Proverbs 16:8

"When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers."

-Proverbs 21:15

"When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing."

-Proverbs 11:7

"Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent- the LORD detests them both."

-Proverbs 17:15

"The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished."

-Proverbs 16:5

Answer 2

Answer: God is in the minds of those who believe.

He is ONLY in the minds of those who believe. Because he's a figment of their imagination.

The world and the Universe is not fair. Know this, and live the best life you can with this knowledge. Fight injustice however you can.

The industry of two hands working is infinitely more useful than a million hands clasped in prayer.

Answer 3

I'm Pagan, and it's my belief that the Gods created the world, established the natural laws by which it runs, and gave us Free Will to decide how we deal with it.  If there is evil in the world it is our doing and our responsibility, so rather than asking why the Gods let us do these things we should be asking why we choose to do them, and what we can do to make things better for everyone.  The problem with most people is that they don't want help or guidance, they expect the Gods to simply do things for them, but if the Gods are going to solve our problems for us, then why would we even be here?

Answer 4

Romans chapter 5, chapter 10, John 3

and many other scriptures believed will change your thinking and do the same for many others.  When men's hearts are changed, they do different acts.  The LORD gave man dominion in the earth.  Now He is restricted in spiritual legality.  His eyes search the earth to find a man to stand in the gap.  Search for the truth and pray YAHWEH's will into the earth.

Answer 5

Why do we blame God when BAD things happen?

It is us sinful humans who should be blamed. The more we go away from God.. the more prone we are in doing the most evil and twisted things..cos we don't know what is right and wrong.

God does save the innocent people. He does and He will always.

Death is NOT a punishment for the good people. Do you know there is a place called heaven?

Answer 6

Good question.

You agree with me that this life is mortal. Anyone, who lives on earth shall die irrespective of his power, age, status, wealth etc. Death is sure for everyone. If we will die today or tomorrow, should we give it so much importance? In fact, we are not giving death an importance, but it is life we give importance to. God deals with life and not death. God asks you to have life forever. When you think of a smaller life here, which is surely to come to an end. Why don't you think of a life that never ends.

The above is not an answer to your question. But it is a preface to my answer. God has created everything and left it to the system he has made for each. If you watch sun, it comes and goes everyday punctually. God does not need to interfere with it everyday; it has been given a rule and a route, and it obeys its creator. Same way, the earth is given life and a system to live it. It has to follow that system. But when we break that system, everything goes out of our control. Human beings are given commandments by God to live in a particular way. When they obey it, everything goes well; but when they turn their back towards it, the life becomes like h**l.

Now, do not worry about those who are cruel to their fellow beings. They will surely be punished by the law. Even if they don't get punished by the law, they will not escape God's hands. You will find them getting punished here itself. It is the responsibility of each of us to stand firm against such anti social elements. God has his ways of doing things; do not compare him with heroes in films, which are illusions. God's punishment is for sure and no one shall escape it.

Answer 7

2Pe 3:9   The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  

Answer 8

There is only one real God and His name is Yahweh. He wrote an instruction  book for mankind to follow called The Bible. In The Bible Yahweh wrote The Mosaic Laws for both the individual human to follow and also a nation to follow.  These laws helped humans build safe, honest, loving and wealthy societies if chosen to follow. Those countries that refuse to acknowledge Yahweh as their God and follow His laws will suffer more than the countries who chose to follow them. If I remember correctly Yahweh is not the God India has chosen to worship and who's laws Its' government laws are modeled after. God wants to help the people of India as soon as India becomes one nation under the God Yahweh as America has. My answer to you is move to America.  

Answer 9

Romans 3:11-12  no one understands; no one seeks for God.

All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one."

Romans 3:23-25  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 3:16-18  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Answer 10

God has given you a government and it is the government's job to control crime and murder.  Since they are obviously not doing their job then it is their fault that these innocent people are suffering.

If God intervened every time someone did something evil than no one would be doing anything because we all do evil on a daily basis.  God doesn't differentiate between small evils and large evils--evil is evil to God and He condemns it all.  

If you want the freedom to live your life the way you want to than you are going to have accept the fact that God isn't going to intervene when you do evil--the same goes for all those other evil doers out there too.

No one gets away with evil forever though.  God notices everything that we do and will judge it.  These guys will pay big time for what they are doing now, and they will be paying for a very long time.

Answer 12

You're just a few questions away from the answer

There are no gods.  No divine justice.  

Answer 13

Stop asking why gods aren't helping you and start asking why these things are happening in the first place.

If society doesn't stop this then no gods will either.

Answer 14

this is the age of Kali Yug, where adharma is on the rampage.  To over come this we need chant the name of the lord.  Try the Gayatri mantra 108 X 2 for protection of your family and yourself.  You make it a community chanting session, where each household gets a time slot to do continuous chanting thereby sending good vibrations into you town to elevate all the negativity in you town / community.  If we start small, then soon countries will be able to do this, but it starts with you and your family.

Answer 15

This is a cruel world. Given. I don't believe that God has any control on what happens on earth.

I think we are all placed on earth and it is our duty to contribute and ensure our own survival and our own safety. We have to look at answers within our selves. There is no use to look up to God and ask him why. We have to get our hands dirty and strife to become a peaceful race.

I hate when Christians (and other religous people) say these things are God's plan. We have to look for answers within our society, rather than expect God to clean up our dirty laundry.

Answer 16

Justice will find them at sometime in their life, be sure of that. Are you and the people around you as guilty for living in fear. When you find God you will never fear death. You must fight the devil around you, find your strength and others will gain strength from you. God be with you.God bless.
