Why...?

[brandonecarr]

I have questions. Questions that no one has been able to answer. Questions that I don't know that anyone will be able to answer. As far as I've been able to tell, there are no answers in the Bible for my questions.

I'm sure a popular curiosity is why were we created? This is a very good question, however, my question dives a little deeper. The Bible says that God is all knowing. He always has been. He has no beginning and no end. He knows everything that we have ever done, and ever will do. He's known those things before we were even created. With those things in mind, my question is why would God create a human being--knowing full well their future decisions, and future outcome--that He knew full well was going to end up going to Hell? I cannot grasp the concept of creationism with the knowledge that God KNEW that the being he was crafting, he was ultimately going to destroy in the end.

I never asked to be created. I never had a choice. Yet, I was born into this world, seemingly, by a God that knew I would fail every step of the way and He'd end up sending me to Hell. He knew that long before he created Adam and Eve. I ask this because the way I'm looking at this is God is a kid with a magnifying glass pointing right down on an ant hill. He knows all. He's always known all. So, why create me to destroy me. This has bugged me so much, that I've actually prayed for God to uncreate me.

I either conform and accept Him, or I face an eternity of never-ending pain and suffering. Am I the only one with this concern? I would really appreciate your opinions. I've felt so lost and hopeless for so long. It seems that no matter how long and hard I cry out to God, I never get an answer, which is one large attributing factor to my asking to be uncreated. :/ I feel like I'm not one of the chosen few that is going to make it to Heaven. I don't feel as though I was created for it. I feel like I was created for Hell and I don't know why. I think it's bogus that we've been put here and expected to be blindly faithful. The universe is so vast, and there are so many beliefs and "gods" out there.. How does one navigate through it all?!

I was under the impression that the Calvary-Chapel members were well versed in everything biblical. I guess I was wrong.

Anyway, you sound like you need some serious counseling. Why don't you ask your Pastor about your concerns?

As for me, I was created because my parents wanted to start a family.

You seem to be having problems with the idea of justification by faith. It isn't failure that sends you to hell. What sends you to hell is a refusal to accept the salvation which is freely on offer.

This is an very important question. It took me years to get an answer. So far, I think it is a good answer and it is most likely supported by the Christian theology. Unfortunately, it would take a good while to go through the details. And in the reasoning process, there are other major theological issues involved. So it is definitely a complicated answer.

The key ideas include:
1. God stops His creation at Day Seven. So, a human like you and me is NOT a new creation.
2. Why should Lord Jesus become a man through the process of incarnation.
3. God creates angels before human. Some angels rebelled and were, or will be punished.
4. Why is the theology of Trinity NEEDED?
5. God creates human for a very special purpose. Humans in the Heaven are more powerful than angels.
6. God loves His creations. God loves angels, and God loves humans the most.
7. Why does God give free will to angel and human?
8. The special meaning of human life on the earth.
9. God's way to handle evil angels with love.

Well, enough is enough. None of the above is a simple question. However, in order to answer your question, we NEED to put all the answers of these hard questions together. Even on a face to face talk, it would probably take a few days for that. My emphasis is: The Bible is able to provide hint and support to the answers of those questions. The answers are NOT just human ideas. Our work is simply to string all the answers together, so the answer to your question could be seen.

With all possible noises come from non-christians in this forum, this question is nearly unanswerable.

This is the wrong forum for this, I would suggest the Christian advice forum under edification.

Wish you well.
