If there is a GOD then why does he take a good man from his wife, family and friends.  Why not some bad person

GOD HAS A WILL AND WHAT EVER HIS WILL IS IT WILL BE DONE NO MATTER WHAT. HE DOES THINGS FOR A REASON.\n\nONE OF MY FRIENDS LITTLE ONE YEAR OLD BABY DIED AND NOW HIS MOTHER AND FATHER ARE BOTH SAVED AND IN CHURCH. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT THE LORD USED THAT CHILD TO GET BOTH OF THEIR ATTENTION AND GET THEM IN CHURCH.\n\nEVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!

Yes God already knew who was bad and is giving him a chance to repent or mend his ways. He is also so loving that he will completely forgive you if you are sorry for your sins. and foremost he create us through his image.So we must all act Godlike. Good , righteous and loving, Does that answer your question.

lol, the christian god is too human sounding to be a god in the first place. \nit wouldn't surprise me though, that god would pretend to be satan when he does bad things.\n\nbut they've obviously thought about this more than some christians have and recognized some sobering trends in the bible that don't coincide with the whole "god is only good" dogma they teach in sunday school.

What you seem to have missed is the greater point - you're not your own to begin with - He created you, all he asks now is that you recognize that by accepting him and worshipping him - it is not his desire that any should perish - but being good is not what he designed us to do - he designed us to worship - good deeds are results of our worship - not our means of worship.  You are in the midst of spiritual battle and I'm praying that God will give you spiritual rest and a mentor to lead you personally as opposed to this forum. As a parent I raised my son with certain values.  I have entrusted them to him.  It is now up to him to choose to use them.  If he doesn't then there are consequences he will suffer.  Does that take away his ability to choose for himself?  No.  It just means he didn't heed a more learned and wiser, experienced person.  It is a poor analogy, but it was the best I could come up with.

dude i believe that God can make a rock that it can't be lifted by even himself,  but then he could always make it light again and put it in his pocket and take it wherever he feels.  that's because God is a bad@$$.  i assume you'd of thought of that.  come on man use your imagination

People's idea of God can vary greatly. Some hate him and blame him for every bad thing that happens in this world. But what do we know?  Some don't know him. Some just claim they do. Other people love him and each one's reason might be different. I will tell you, though, there is nothing like a real relationship with the true God. Plugging in can give you a real sense of purpose in Life.

He's a jealous God in the way a husband is jealous for his wife or vice versa. He doesn't want to share his chosen people with other (false) Gods. In the OT, the jewish nation promised to be faithful to him only, in a covenant which is like a marriage. They kept being unfaithful.

There are good people in all walks of life. Some of the most honest, trustworthy people I have known have been atheists \n\nReligion does not make you good unless you think you are bad already and need to change for the good.

I've had it explained to me before like this:\n\nA man can be a father, a son, and a husband all at the same time. It's just different roles. It's the same way with God, he can play any of three different roles, but he's still only one God.\n\nWhether that's a good explanation or not, I'll leave up to you.

because God is not apart of the world now.it is a sad but true fact.people are so corrupt in their own desires that they dont care about God. i wish it was different but this has to come to pass. soon Jesus will come back and they will all be sorry my friend. i promise.

It's human nature to want to find a scapegoat whenever something rotten happens. And who makes a better scapegoat that one's deity?It's not like said deity can come down and defend themselves.

Because God created everything on earth for man.  He said it is all good.  Why not enjoy it if we are ment to.

We have to remember that God is a just God.  He will not hold a person responsible for rejecting Christ if that person never had the ability to accept Him.

life is good but with a good wife you can have a good life and with the bad wife you can have bad life,so its not your life that is good or bad its the people around you which make your life enjoyable or not!\n\narminnourbaksh@yahoo.co.uk

Of course. It does not take a god to make one moral. Our human minds are capable of knowing what it takes to be a good person in society. Saying it takes a god is weak and it takes away from what a human can do.

If you read it again you will find God did not Satan was the one causeng the problems for Job When God took his hand off of Job...God did allow this by taking his by taking some of his protection off...Now if you are asking why God allowed it that is another question I would say that there was some good that came out of it...It is an example to us all that we are talking about it today...many of Jobs friends told Job that he had done something wrong and that he should beg God's forgiveness....His wife told him he should curse God and die...but Job was an example to all of them and to us today he suffered but did not blame God....Many times I see people here in yahoo blameing God for the things that are wrong in the world...Job is the example for them and us and all of Job's friends and his wife...Job never blamed God nor did he doubt his realtionship with God.....Naked came I in to this world and Naked shall I leave it...All of those who love God should learn this that God blesses us everyday and not to take God for granted he owes us nothing but he gives us all that he has...It was not just to prove a point to Satan but to show to all of us how we should be.

A - That good men do nothing and D - Evil cannot triumph because God will come and save us-eventually. I choose D too because its just an excuse and eventually leads to A. God has given the authority to deal with the devil in the name of Jesus, but many will prefer to leave and hope God will wake up one day and save them.
