Need help with my believe in God

[tiredleon]

After my girldfriend told me her story, I dont know what to think anymore and I need help.

As information, her whole family doesnt believe in God, except her uncle.
She was often sexually touched by her uncle, who is/was a priest.
She often prayed, but then her cat died and her brother also died when she was 2 years old. She often prayed. She went to church but everything got worse. She nearly lost her whole family after telling them what happened. She also said that there are so many priests who violate children, which is not wrong. No one in her family believes in God, and the one who did it was a priest and touched her sexually.
How do you explain all this? She told me she probably wont ever believe in God the way she used to do. After hearing this my heart hurt, I didnt know what to even say.

It seems you do have a conscience, yes, as God gives us a conscience to 'know' in ourselves what is right and to keep us from doing anything against our conscience , anything wrong.
Religion often may seer a conscience, getting people to do and to accept what is wrong.
When we have a proper conscience, it hurts us, it hurts our heart/soul/mind to see religious folk doing what is harmful and wrong.
Jesus tells us to turn to the Creator, not to men, to the Creator, for HIS Kingdom (HIS Way), IS at hand, even very close to us.
HE provide the healing, the nurturing, the truth, the salvation.
So turn to Him, to His Kingdom, while there is still time.

Sorry but this doesnt help me at all, looks like an answer straight out of ChatGPT.

It’s ok to hurt it is right. But don’t let your girl friends pain lead you away from Christ. It’s evil what that priest did, very evil. But she has got to forgive which is hard for a molested person. You shouldn’t be ‘unequally yoked’ in a relationship with an unbeliever. She doesn’t know how to handle it in the lord. The Lord want to comfort her and separate her from Catholicism. There’s no explanation, evil is in the world. But there is hope for everyone because of Jesus Christ. He can help her, help her to forgive and give her a new life and healing.

How will Jesus help her if she stopped praying and believing? Can I pray for her?

Evil is is in the world, and lots of it.

Jesus didn't come to remove the evil, he came to deliver us from the eternal evil, through Holy Spirit faith and trust in him, and to help us in the earthly evil.

I'm very sorry to hear that your girlfriend was abused in the way that she was by her uncle. That's a terrible thing. There's really no excuse for why that happened other than that her uncle obviously had some seriously mental health issues, and unfortunately this kind of thing isn't as uncommon as we'd all like it to be. Just as there were corrupted people posing as Christians in the first century, there have been and still are individuals like that today. And sometimes they are in our own families.

There's no answer for this other than to say that I know Jesus loves her and that she (and maybe you along with her) needs to seek professional counseling if you haven't already.

Peace

Well you state you need help with your belief in God.

Your beliefs, should not be grounded in daily life and how God is or is not working in daily life.
Belief in God should solely rest on the witness of The Bible.

The world is completely corrupt, you will not find a reason to believe in God from the world.

With that stated, belief in God does no one any good for future eternity. Many people believe in God, but will spend eternity in the lake of fire forever separated from The life of God.

What counts is belief in Jesus, believing that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. The promised Messiah, the only begotten Son of God who has came into the world. Believe in Jesus for God's free gift of Eternal Life.

Don't blame God for what people do... God gave people autonomy, man has responsabilty to listen to God, and get closer to him, you think that 'priest' is endorsed by God?, you see child abuse being endorsed by Jesus?, he said people who corrupt little ones better commit suicide.
