Why did God send billions of his children to China to be Buddists only to go to hell? Past and present.?

"hell" does not exist, the idea for "hell" was made up from christianity and copied from the pagan greek/roman religions of the time.\nBuddhists will not go to hell.\nLook in the torah and the tanakh and you will not find a single reference to "hell"... perhaps in the re-written christian "old testiment" you will but that is changed and meaningless

it's possabley like how parent feel bad when their kids do something bad, he uses guilt like parents.\n\nalso arn't humans based on the image of God or something like that.\n\nif he made them go away then how could he connect with us as a human race he created?

Because he thought he was greater than God. Humans that are not saved will be banished from heaven and sent to Hell with you SATAN!

Good question -- the same can be said about this business of torturing people FOREVER in hell just because they could not believe the gospel.  (It is rather hard to believe in invisible things, or in things that one is told and for which there is no proof.)  But if God loves to hate the people he supposedly loves, then that's the way it goes.

God doesn't want to send anyone to Hell He made Hell for satan and his followers. God doesn't "send" you to Hell. You go there because of your sin. And with sin you can't be near God. So you spend eternal separation from Him. God loves you and he wants you to go to heaven but he loved you so much that he gave you the will to choose if you wanted to worship and love him. So before Jesus died for our sins it was very hard to get into heaven. So God died for His world that He created and made a way into heaven. And that is Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Light.

I'd really like to answer your question but I can't quite read the postmark on the last letter Einsteing sent me .......\n\nWhat are you going on about? If that was the case, everyone who ever discovered anything, reasoned anything out, invented anything, or learned anything, would be sent to hell, and if that were true, it would be a pretty interesting place to be! But it seems obvious that God wouldn't give man the capacity to learn, to invent, to understand, and send him to hell for using that God-given capacity. And how, pray tell, can you prevent knowledge from being used for evil purposes? Weapons were originally used to gather food, a peaceful purpose, but when disputes arose, they were used for war. Books were invented as a means of preserving and sharing knowledge. But that invention has been perverted to include printing porn. Does that mean ALL books should be destroyed, along with the processes of making them? \nI think you've just got nothing better to do and are making up things to generate discussions. At least, I hope that's the case, because if you really believe what you said, I feel sorry for your. And your God, because he must be a vindictive and vengeful God to behave in that manner.

I don't believe that all nonchristians will go to Hell, for that exact reason.  I cannot accept the idea that millions of innocents could be condemned to eternal suffering just because they didn't get the message.

Simple answer:\n\nYou're question is too deep to answer fully in this type of forum, but I will still comment on the basics.\n\nLet me address a few things first. You're question was phrased rather negatively, as if this evil act (stillborn babies) was directly given by God. They are not. (From this point forward let's assume God exists and the Bible is His word so that things make sense at least in this thread).\n\nThe Bible says that God is all good and all powerful. So if evil and suffering exists (stillborn babies) why doesn't God stop it? Well, first off God can easily stop it. That much is obvious. The second half is less obvious.\n\nGod says He created adam and eve perfect, sinless, without suffering, in a perfect world, living in God's presence. God also gave them free will to either choose God or reject Him. They opted for the latter. Because of that man separated himself from God and was unable to return to Him by themselves (God fixed the problem by sending Jesus but that is a topic for a different post). Now God could have stopped them from sinning but that would have been pointless. Imagine being a parent and stopping your kid from rejecting you thereby forcing them to love you. That would be torture and would turn your kids into mere robots and slaves. God wanted people to frelly choose Him so He had to give the ability to reject Him and also to face the consequences of that action otherwise people would never learn from doing bad things (ie If I killed someone and then God instantly resurrected that person, I would feel no guilt or shame because my bad actions would have no consequences). To make a long story short we now live in a world riddled with disease and suffering because this is all the consequences of bad actions that we are forced to live with. These consequences lead to such horrible things like stillborn babies. \n\nDoes God want that? no. Will the baby go to heaven? In my opinion yes. Does God use even such a horrible event like a stillborn child to bring about an even greater good? In my opinion yes. Does that mean I know what that is? no. I believe it on faith just like every other believer in God, that even though suffering and evil exists, God uses it all to bring about even greater good. An example would include Jesus being beaten and spit upon and being crucified (this would be evil and suffering) and using that event to actually bring about the salvation of all mankind to whomever will believe (which is what happened).\n\nI hope this answered your question and helps.

God punishes everyone. why would chinese people be exempt?

"Chinese paper money"?\nDo you mean the paper money that traditional taoists, mostly Chinese, burn for the dead? If so, they burn these believing that the dead people in Hell need paper money like on Earth to survive, and burn lots of it to ensure they have a good life. If it helps, they also burn paper clothes, paper houses (yes, almost life-sized houses), even paper handphones, beepers, make-up, and basically your everyday items in paper.\nIn Chinese tradition HELL isn't the Christian idea of hell. It's basically just an afterlife called "Hell" which isn't a land of suffering. Heaven is reserved for the Emperor of Heaven and his subjects, as well as exemplary people who have done great or good deeds in their lives who are awarded a special position/status within his palace.\nThere is a Hell for punishing evil people, also called, and it's 16 levels. The lowest being a hell that you can never fully 'graduate' from. (Meaning that you just pay for your sins for a period of time depending on the degree of seriousness to it)

We need never fear about God being unjust. He just cannot be. His mercy and justice are from everlasting to everlasting. I therefore have to conclude, that there will be no children in hell. There will also be no retarded, or otherwise mentally-incapacitated individuals there, those who cannot fully comprehend and understand what Christ has accomplished on their behalf at Calvary.

Let’s look at the facts in the bible...\n\n1. God Killed millions when he flooded the earth.  Not only did he just kill them, he killed them by a tortuous method of drowning.  A most heinous and barbaric way to kill a single person, let alone millions and millions of people.\n\n2. God became angry and took it out not on those that he was angry with, but their cute babies.  He murdered innocent first born babies in response to his anger at their parents.  WOW!!! How wrong is that for any person to do, let alone a deity!!!\n\n3. God used his supernatural powers to sway a war.  He flooded a whole army killing them again by the suffocation of drowning.\n\n4. God teaches love and peace.  He gives us commandments like "thou shall not kill" which he, as a leader, can't seem to follow himself.\n\n5. He enticed Mary to cheat on her husband and fathered an illegitimate child.  A child whom he never supported until he was 20-30 years old.  Then he showed his love by asking his child to die a most heinous death of suffocation on the cross.\n\nWow, there are 5 horrific things that no god should be associated with!!!  Let’s look at Lucifer's history.\n\n1.  He offered knowledge to Eve.  Hmmm.  This sounds like a good thing!   Does Christianity look down on knowledge?  It sounds like the serpent was a great teacher. \n\n2.  Despite God's death toll of hundreds of millions of people.  Lucifer has ZERO deaths attributed to his name!!! ZERO!  Lets see God has killed hundreds of millions, and Lucifer... oh yeah, ZERO PEOPLE\n\nThe bible makes no sense:\n\nGod = good = murdering children.\n\nDevil = Bad = Teaches and promotes knowledge.\n\nBy the bible, Lucifer is the kind one and God is a murderous wretch!

First please let me say that your grandbaby is in my prayers as are you and his parents. As for the why, there is no why, I wish there were, but God doesn't take children or anyone else as a punishment, in fact he doesn't take them from us, life does. This earth belongs to Satan, not God, (It's in The Bible) Our suffering is due to Satan not God, when we hurt, God weeps along with us. God Bless all of you in this sad time. We lost our grandson back in July, try to find comfort in the fact yours is still fighting, and just might win. I hope and pray so. Please try not to lose faith.

Hey Joe, go make some gold and forget about religion. You're going to deceive millions and get yourself killed, you crazy bastard! And no, you DID NOT SEE God and Jesus in the forest. Those were just some serious shrooms you ate.

Yes, It is, but God already took care of them. It's all about a Totalitarian Dictatorship in Heaven. God is the Joseph Stalin / Idi Amin of the heavens.

The only people who will go to hell are those that are not God's children.\n Because God said His children know His voice and will not follow anyone else.\nEveryone else is in unbelief...which is what will send them to hell.\n\nJOHN 3:18\n He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\n \nIf you want the Truth go here...\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/

sadly your friend is the victom of a good christian upbringing! jesus brought the word of love and pease. man, invented a religion! in this religion a bunch of wackoos got together and dreamed up a lot of sick ideas and made them law. so for 2000 years people fearing eternal damnation have followed these sick laws. now that people have out grown the need for self punishment, a lot of these sick ideas are now criminal offences. for example, your freind was referring to the old addage, "spare the rod, spoil the child" this means you can beat the hell out of your children and feel good about it because," GOD demands it!"  now days, IT'S CALLED CHILD ABUSE!!  a hopfully  the bitch will get turned in and have to sit her ass in jail or at least have her kid taken away from her! don't you just love that old time religion?
