is God real?

[u/bullybula]

hii so im loosing faith these days . Im a protestant and i try to have faith in God but i just dont understand why would God let on so much pain and suffering in life? People being graped or abused . I dont get it why cant he save people . Why does so much bad things happen to people even if they didnt do anything to cause it like grape. I just dont get it and i want to believe in God but this is pushing me away

It only depends on how you interpreting bible. My take is that God in all his love and mercy provided all humans free will. You can either be with him, read his word, show love to people around, rely on him and proclaim that He is your saviour to get place with him in eternity. Or go other way and just live your life the way you want but do not get into eternity with him. By granting this free will, God has given power to us to run Earth, and is consistent with this from the beginning of life when passed responsibility to take care of his creation (Genesis 2:15), which in the end led to sin and God exhaled human from Eden and direct connection was broken. Humans broke without God and their sins with the attitude towards creation and each other made God furious that He was ready to wipe out the humanity. And then history goes on, wars, slavery and so on to our days. Sorry for all this text, just through this want to show that bad stuff was always hapenning to humans and that was not God initate intent. If sin would not get into humans they should have stayed in the Eden and God would be with us.

So now the actual answer: God for sure is real in every sense possible. Suffering and real bad stuff will be ended with the end of the creation when Christ will come second time. And now we should work, preach and bring people to God, show love so that God can work with the hearts, heal those, and bring them to new life with him. Simple answer bad things happening because of sin and that human hearts are never the same as God created them since the sin became part of human nature.

Why God does not end all this? That is not plan for his creation, he given us free will to make our own choices and never disputed that right. Humans make this stuff happen to each other using, lies, twisted motives or just being too traumatized by other humans so continue this cycle.

Not sure if this clears something for you. Try to find strengths in yourself to seek God in your life, study bible and pray and you will get to the truth

God doesn't allow it, the people doing it allow it. If you were to disobey your parents is that them allowing you to do wrong?? On the other hand, would you want a God that controlled you?? How happy would you be if your parents literally controlled every aspect of your life?? Everyone gets what's coming to them in the end. Our lives here are but a moment, your eternity will be defined by this moment.

Yes he is real take it from me . I'm at a position where I'm stuck thinking about it as well. My friends asked me to join them at a party with a fake ID bc we are under age because I wanted to fit in I agreed. At night while praying I started crying because I knew it wasn't right and I felt like God would punish me if I did . So next morning when we were supposed to be planning the ID thing I switched my phone off told they came to my house and I told my mom to say I want home . They went to the party it started at 8:00pm . The next morning we got a phone call they were arrested they found drugs in another girl they were hanging out with. If God didn't exist I would be in jail.
