why should i believe in god

The devil is real. But he's a working man.

>>35386794
So you don't go to hell

Convert or die by the sword, heretic.

>>35386833
Such a benevolent God

>>35386826
>>35386833

>>35386794
You shouldn't
But you can

>>35386856
He is benevolent because he gives you a chance to be saved.

what the fuck is meat world?

>>35387844
a world of meat
sort of like The Red

>>35387833
why did he make hell in the first place?

is he just a dick?

which of them? What if Poo in loos are worshipping the right gods or some African tribe? Is it Muhammed's or Christian version of god?

>>35386794
Because someone will flood the thread with *tips fedora* jokes if you don't

>>35387885
he thought it would be funny

>>35387885
I thought Satan made hell, I never understood that part because the Bible claims hell is a place sinners go but it was made by God and yet Satan rules over hell. But Satan use to be Lucifer who was an arch-angel and one of the strongest of the angels, so did God just banish Lucifer to hell? And then Satan decided to rule over that domain as his own?

*tipss menorah*

>>35387885
Hell is only supposed to suck because it's the furthest you can be from God's light.

It really depends on what you mean by god.

>>35386794
Cause why not, lol.

Hell isn't meant to be taken as literal fire and brimstone like everyone preaches

>>35387954
*tips waiter*

>>35386794
Because it is necessary to your survival. God (death) is very real and is trying to kill you.

>>35387950
Satan doesn't rule over hell. It comes from Christian fan fiction.
Hell is just a state of rejection of God, not an actual material fire.
Protestants believe otherwise, but they are wrong.

>>35387957
Then why would he let you get away from his light?

>INB4 fwee will

>>35387957
>Hell is as far away from death's shadow as it's possible to get
How do I get there??

>>35386794
Because He believes in you.

>>35388011
>start believing in god
>he tests you every day
>leaves it up to you to unconfuse yourself

>>35388012
>Protestants believe otherwise, but they are wrong.
says catholic who takes advices from the pope

>>35388076
LIES. God is pure evil. The proof is the universe itself. Evil always prospers, good is destroyed and punished, the wicked have all the power and there is no promise of respite from the nightmare aside from mythology and delusion. There is a god and that god is a nightmare. Everyone should be doing their part trying to kill the motherfucker.

>>35387957
God's light doesn't reach hell.

He actually believes in good and evil.

Not a Catholic and not an argument.

God created you to worship and fear him.

>>35388248
wow i am fucked

>>35388282
Doesn't sound like someone worth worshiping to me.

>>35388248
All this fear mongering but no guidance it pisses me off so much why can't God show us the way

>>35388664
>no guidance
There's the bible.

>>35388121
*Tips menorrah*

>>35389159
like there isn't any dispute on how to interpret it. it's confusing and God leaves you to do the work

>>35386864
this isn't what is needed to be "saved"
you only need to: accept god and jesus christ, that's it. failing to act in "christian ways" is a sin; jesus forgives all your sin.

>>35387885
"hell" is not a place. the only difference is
1. you die and are joined with god. you feel his eternal love, and it is the highest joy you will ever experience.
2. you die and are joined with god. you feel his eternal love, but it feels like suffering and burning.

a physical location is popculture.

More like why should i believe in the christian god...

Shinto sounds cooler.

Hinduism and buddhism sound better.

Hell, even ancient egyptian, norse, babylonian, and greek mythology sound better.

Not to mention all those polytheistic religions are far more likely to have a god that is relevant to my life, and gods worth worshipping since they aren't all mighty selfish cunts like Yhvh/Allah.

>>35388248
Is this video just 30 minutes of "hell is real! Hell is real!"

Cause its real fuckin annoying. And not persuasive in the slightest.

>>35386794
Why should you believe in 0?
Reminder that in maths the existence of 0 is assumed without proof.

>>35389348
>implying accepting Christ isn't emulating Christ
>implying you will be saved if you simply pay lip service
>implying modern Christianity isn't a twisted perversion of the original message

>god doesn't create a eternal place of torture, you'll just feel like you're being tortured because you made the wrong choices in life xd

Fuck off.

>>35389171
That makes no sense. Jews love and worship death.

>why should i believe in god

I'll give it to you straight.

If you don't believe you are already condemned.
You might say God is evil but what institution in this world judges justly...And all the time?

God will judge the wicked...And if you haven't put your trust in Christ, you are in that category.

Your days are numbered.
Don't say that you weren't warned of the wrath that is to come.

>>35388121
Only the unenlightened would say this. The Bible alludes to this, but Satan controls reality.

>A muslim told me the same thing once lol
Your point?
Islam came from Mohamed a fallible man who is dead without a savior.
Christianity comes from God in the flesh who reigns today and forevermore. I don't see your point.

>>35390477
>So how do I know God isn't lying to me when we speak?
Do you think you are the ultimate authority when it comes to understanding? You're asking the wrong questions

>>35390546
no, but the bible tells me my body is the temple of god and therefore god is within me. therefore can't I communicate with god? I'd like to add that he is wrong and confusing a lot of the time

so why does it matter to god what i do with my life if it will end the same way as others. seems a bit pointless to create a person, put them in horrible circumstances to where they don't believe the vague hints towards a god and then punish them if they don't believe. Surely god will understand why one doesn't believe in him because his existence has never been proven, only spoken about by humans. and since god gave humans the ability to deceive each other I'm sure he would be understanding as to why im skeptical of his existence that was told to me through campfire stories passed down thousands of years. hopefully god is understanding of our situation if there even is a god after all, he is all knowing so people claim.

you could liken it easily to the negative feelings children feel when they know they have disappointed their parents. you have to live knowing you let him down, eternally.

>>35389700
no, anon.
if you accept him as true and in doing so feel obligated to emulate him, and try, then your failure to do so because it is hard will be forgiven.

It keeps you from the pit of self-loathing, and churches provide structure and a warm communities for to those that need it. Also read Kirkegaard

>>35390929
At what point does belief in god stop self loating? asking for a friend

I believe in God but I think he is nothing like any human religion. We don't understand him or whatever it is. Its possible it could be malevolent and not benevolent like we all want it to be.
