Is Love Evil? [Spirituality & Religion]

God is Love, but the skeptics, who don’t believe that He’s real see Him as an evil God who causes suffering and all kinds of disasters in this fallen world of ours. How can a being, who’s supposed to be not real, cause so much suffering? Is this the only reason why they don’t believe in God? I believe that they have to think this way in order that they can keep their disbelief in Him for if they stated thinking that He is all good, they would have no excuse to keep their disbelief in Him.
4Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; 5does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil; 6does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is [d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

So if i lost 3 of my kids to malaria,2 to starvation,it’s my fault to feel miserable because I didn’t handle the situation with love in my mind?

It would be a terrible tragedy to lose your children in the way described but who would you blame, God or man?

@GodSpeed63 for starvation? Probably people. Malaria? Now that’s not even remotely people

God created this world perfect without any kind of evil what-so-ever. Mankind, when it separated itself from God, brought all this suffering and heartache upon itself.

@GodSpeed63 now that’s just religious speculation. Malaria is not evil. It just is. That’s just how you try to explain things to yourself working hard to disregard nature and evolution as hard as you possibly can

It's not religious speculation at all, it's the plain truth.

@GodSpeed63 because it’s in the bible?

@SW-User [quote]because it’s in the bible?[/quote]

Because it's the Word of God.

@GodSpeed63 whose god? Your god?

There's only one God, Yahweh is His name. This is His testimony.

Isaiah 45:5

5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;
There is no God besides Me.

@GodSpeed63 in your book man. Only in your book. Billions of people don’t follow that book

@SW-User [quote]in your book man.[/quote]

I didn't write the Holy Bible, Yahweh did.

SW-User

@GodSpeed63 no ,people wrote those books . There are more than one. There are older ones as well. Much older

GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M

@SW-User [quote]There are more than one.[/quote]

There's only one Word of God and there is no book older than His.

SW-User

@GodSpeed63 who told you that? Let me guess...god? Have you went to school godspeed?

GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M

@SW-User [quote]who told you that?[/quote]

His Holy Spirit of Truth after I became born again.

SW-User

You are right, it was God that revealed His Truth to me and not my high school or my college that I went to.

SW-User

You've [b]never[/b] been able to produce any evidence to even suggest your specific god exists. Claiming a book of myths and superstitions is its word is utterly ridiculous.

[quote]There's only one god, yahweh is his name.[/quote]
LOL! You even repeatedly deny believing in that yahweh thing.

@GodSpeed63 [quote]I didn't write the holy bible, yahweh did.[/quote]
Considering all the errors and contradictions in it, this yahweh thing can't be much of a god.

@SW-User You're right! If this world didn't have sin in it, that wouldn't happen. And we know that because when Adam and Eve were created, everything was perfect. There was no sin in the world at that time. Sin means disobedience. It brings nothing but condemnation , death, in both the physical and spiritual sense, and keeps us separated from God until it is Forgiven. God had warned them not to take a bite from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. He knew what would happen. But He's he didn't force them to eat it. Yet because he gave us free will, he doesn't interfere with that, or it wouldn't BE free will. Well, Satan came along and lied to them and they decided to eat it anyway and that's when sin came into the world. It separates us from God until we go to Jesus and have him forgive us of our sins so we're fit for heaven. God will not let sin into heaven, because heaven is so beautiful and pure and holy, and it would not BE Heaven if send was allowed in it. God hates sin for that reason. Because it separates US from HIM. He loves us, however, unconditionally, and he's trying to help us GET to heaven. But FIRST we have to have our sins forgiven, so we won't miss heaven and will never be separated from Him again, because of our bad choices. Read the following carefully and you will see that God did not come to condemn has. He came to SAVE US AND REDEEM US from hell.
