Since I am right, why does God insist on being wrong?

I believe God wants us to know specifically who he is and how to get to him.  Therefore, he provides us Scriptures. I just can't believe we can make up a god of our own imagining and have it be the right one. Only one can be right, otherwise he would be contradicting himself.

It isn't God who is arrogant, it is people that think they can dictate to God how things should be.  The Bible says God is love.  You might want to think about that.

Yeah but you are wrong, so why aren't you condemned for eternity? that just doesn't seem fair. And that is why religion is a silly, man made creation.

Faith is not right or wrong. It just addresses all of the I don't knows with a certain mental perspective. Ppl need to be able to believe no matter what the circumstances. It's only by faith that anything becomes possible.\n\nBelieveing in things that for the most parthave been proven wrong is just denial.

God has always been and always will be.  The thought is hard for our human minds to understand.  No one created Him for He is the Creator.

Whenever you answer a question about whether something is morally correct or right, you have to identify the criteria you have for making moral judgments.  If it is just one person's opinion versus another opinion, then there is no right or wrong answer.  If we all make up our own rules as to what is right and what is wrong, then who is to say that my rules aren't as good as your rules?  If rules only apply to the one who makes them up, well then that makes it easy to be perfect.  I'll just make up whatever rules I want that make me look perfect and you look bad.\n\nI believe that we don't have the moral right to make up our own rules about what is right and what is wrong.  You are free to make up your own rules, but you will still be wrong.  Do I have the moral right to make up rules for you?  No, I do not.  But God has the right to make up the rules, or reveal to us what the rules are.  It is the only real standard of truth.  The rest is wishful thinking.  If you say that you do not believe in God, does that change anything?  No, it does not.  God is there, or he is not there, no matter what you think, feel, or believe.\n\nSo, to answer your question, God said that homosexual behavior was wrong.  It doesn't matter whether you think that is a good judgment or not.  There is absolutely no reason for anyone to accept the rules you make up as being valid for anyone.  You have to go outside of yourself to find the true standard.\n\nYes, I've had many conversations with those who practice homosexuality.  I do not believe God made them homosexuals.  They may have had a same sex attraction, but that is not the same thing as choosing to engage in homosexual acts or thoughts.

the same spirit is seen here when people try to blame everything on GOD...Instead of recognizing HIM as the ONE who knows what is best for us and accepting HIS will in life, these people think in their own little small window of perception that they know best for their lives...if I can only see two feet to either side of my face, only several hundered feet to the front of me, and not behind me at all without turning my head, why would I EVER think that I could see what was best for me more so than GOD does?\n\nThe creation makes a BIG mistake in believing itself to be greater than the CREATOR.

You've just pointed out the biggest contradiction in a belief in god.  Religious people answer this (it isn't really an answer) by usually saying, "we can't understand god's will" or some such response.  But the truth is, it's contradictory and illogical.  Same thing for prayer -- if god's got a plan and it's already all laid out, why bother to pray to him for anything, since he's apparently already decided if you'll get it or not? \n\nAnd, apparently, if god has a plan, then me not believing in him is all part of his plan, and I'm just fulfilling his wishes by not believing in him -- so christians, stop trying to convert me!\n\n:)

There are some interesting verses in the bible.  God says these things:  "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will harden the hearts of those also whom I choose".  God also likens Himself to a potter, and we are the clay.  He speaks of how He, as God...has the right to choose what to do with that clay.  I don't know why certain people are found of God and certain others are not.  But there is one thing I believe with all my heart:  that God is perfectly just, righteous and holy.  So I do not give up my faith in Him for those things I do not understand.

God is soveriegn, and everything that happens is according to His will. Sometimes God even has to allow bad things to happen to make people turn to him or to help people trust in Him.

I dont believe that there are things that where never ment to happen cause that would mean that God screwed up and God dont make mistakes... ppl make mistakes. God allows things to happen for a reason... thats to teach us and to help us to follow him. God had everything planned before we where even here... At least thats what i believe

Why would the Bible tell us to pray for wisdom and then not have us apply it?  What is free will if there are no consequences for our choices?\n\nBesides, there's a fine line between faith and presumption.\n\nSometimes God has asked people to do things that seemed downright foolish.  It stretches your faith.  Everyone who loves you will come with their "concern" and "reasoning."  But at the eleventh hour, God comes through.\n\nOther times, people assume God is asking them to do something when He has done no such thing.  Or, in other words, they presume upon Him and put themselves in bad situations and tight spots.\n\nI've done both.

I believe that no god could be true if he/she were swayed to and fro by the many winds of the doctrine of man.  The only God I'll follow is the one who is the same today, eternal past, and eternal future.  We are right to look to God for guidance in the art of morality.  As wrong as man is apt to be, God is the only one I'd consider even asking.

one cant, at least THIS one cant.  When something terrible happens and you question gods "wisdom" a religious person will most often come back with god has a plan we just don't know what it is.  Well my point is if there is a god and this god is omnipotent then this god allows all of this terrible stuff to happen.  Now if this god has a plan that lets these things happen FOR WHATEVER REASON then it is not something I would want in my life.  If a person stands idly by and lets pain and suffering befall his fellow man when it is in his/her ability to stop the suffering then they are as much at fault as whatever is causing the suffering.  If a "god" dose the same thing, well its just a perverse sort of thing to put your faith in.

Faith!  To have total faith that Gods will is what is right.  And, to accept his decisions...whatever they may be.  Knowing that He knows best.  \n\nLove!  Love others.  Love yourself.  Love God, above all.  And, no....I'm not a bible banger.  lol\n\nJust passing on what I have learned.  When I learned to accept the things in my life that happened....good or bad...and to realize that those things were His will....that they had a purpose in my life....I was much happier.\n\nFighting against what is meant to be, is so futile.  And, believe me....God is the one in control.  Yes, we can make some decisions...are are expected to use our brains and logic.  \n\nBut, when I lost my Dad to cancer....I learned who is really in control.  \n\nA lot of what makes us happy, is in how WE CHOOSE to look at a situation.
