With all due respect can you answer me this- Did God give us humans his emotional traits? Because whenever I read religious texts God is always either- Pleased- This is when you do as he says and worship him and offer sacrifice and let him know how great he is. Very angry and genocidal- This is when you stop worshipping him and he causes floods, earthquakes etc Jealous- This is when you worship other deities. Contradictory and a sadist- Says he loves you one minute and all is forgiven and then wants you to roast in hell the next for the slightest error and cuse you immense suffering for all eternity. Narcissistic and demanding- Demands worship and asks his prophets to tell everyone how great he is. Why is God like this? |
When God made us at His image, it means that we, in our human nature, are good, kind, compassionate, etc.
I honestly think you really have a bad view on God. He is our creator, He did create life. All He wants is for people to know of Him and people to love Him and one another - and this is where your view starts to go bad, with all due respect.
If it was about His ego, there wouldn`t be salvation for anyone - nor heaven for that matter. A God that cares for your heart and your life isn`t narcisistic or sadist. The word of God is spread so people can understand why goodness must prevail: prophets explain where we come from, why God cares about us and why we should follow Him. How different is following God? He honestly cares about you. He wants you to have a place in heaven next him.
Of course that those who truly are all those things you said to go to hell, IF, they don`t repent, IF they don`t believe (that is to say, follow/have faith) in God.
When people offer themselves for sacrifice is to redeem themselves from what they have done or to help those, for example, who have no one to pray for them.
If God didn`t care Jesus wouldn`t have even been born in the first place, God wouldn`t have sent apostles, there would have been no apparitions or miracles.
