i know he is all powerful. Thats not what i asked tho im saying if he knows before i make me that im going to hell. then why did he make me so i could go to hell

If this does not make sense to you, then you can be certain that it does not make sense to God.

We cannot outdo God in anything, least of all common sense.

Therefore, you can be certain that God did not make you in order to destroy you. That would be sadistic, and God is not a sadist.

well i am because i cant believe in him i think. seems like it makes the most sense to me

Your statement is not one of unbelief; you define yourself in relation to God, and this can only be done if you accept that God is there. You might not be able to see it, but if there is no God, why are you bothered?

The fact that you are bothered shows that you do, indeed, believe in God. You just do not believe in the sadistic version of God.

Neither do I.

this may sound wierd but i keep thinking he broke his own commandment. when he flooded the world he killed everyone then turned around and said ok don't kill.

You are right. This is one possible interpretation.

Here is another. A flood happened, and people were killed, and those who survived struggled to understand why some innocent people were killed, while they survived. We now call this 'survivor guilt'.

So to make themselves feel better they decided that God sent the flood to punish those who died, who must have been bad, otherwise they too would have survived. Then they composed stories and eventually wrote the story of Noah and the flood.

Think of the Tsunami. Do you really think that we would regard all those who died as wicked and deserving of their fate, while those who survived were the virtuous ones? Or was it just a terrible freak of nature, and not God's punishment after all? Where you find God is in the reconstruction afterwards, and in the way the whole world contributed to help pay for it.

If Chrisitianity is right, (in your current unsaved state) then you will spend eternity in hell, separated from God.

I personally find this kind of comment repulsive. Nobody is going to see the sublime beauty of Christianity if we tell them that we believe they are headed for eternal damnation if they do not believe as we do.

None of us has arrived; our faith is not a destination but a journey, and our brother is on the same journey. How can any of us presume to look to the end of that journey in this way?

No-one is qualifed to say whether anyone is or is not going to enter eternity. Only God can make that decision, and nobody else.

The Bible tells us that if we believe in Christ, we become co-heirs with him, and have the right to call God Father. The Bible does not say that everyone else will necessarily be eternally damned. Many Christians pretend that it says this, somewhere, but it does not.

But see, he didn't make you so you can go to hell.He made you so you can go to heaven we wishes that we all will pick life over death.But at the same time he gave us free will and left the choice up to us.Sure, he knowes what your going to choose that is b/c he knowes the future but he left the choice up to you.
