Why do christians say everything is in gods plan?

[livingnightmare]

i hate when christians say that. are you saying rape, physical abuse, torture and murder are part of gods plan?

[FunkyMonkee]

That's exactly what they're saying! Oh, they CLAIM we're given free will and THAT'S why these things happen but, as they say, it was all meticulously thought out and planned a VERY LOOOOONG time ago!! Which should bring up another question! If everything is in god's plan, why would you go around praying for him to change shit JUST FOR YOU when it has already been part of his plan all along for billions of years?
OBVIOUSLY, it was in his plan all along to have the WTC destroyed 20 years ago and to have 3000 innocent people killed so, instead of all the billions of people around the world praying for the safety of those in the buildings, they should've just stood by and watched as their own god, essentially, killed all their friends and family that were in those buildings because, obviously, he couldn't be bothered to save them!!
Even his own kid asked where the fuck he was and why had he refused to help when he was nailed up to a cross and about to die! If a father won't even help keep his own son from dying on a cross, that's one VERY sick, sadistic bastard and I'm SURE NOT gonna go around praising THAT twisted motherfucker!! So, what makes them think praying for whatever they want from god is gonna actually cause them to GET what they want?

What else can they say? There’s no evidence that God is real but their belief is important to them. It’s a big part of belonging to their tribe. They see all sorts of misfortunes befalling perfectly nice, and often devoutly religious people, and they have no explanation. A church in Mayfield, Kentucky was completely destroyed by a tornado. No problem. It’s part of God’s plan. 100 people died, but the survivors thank God that they are alive. Why aren’t they cursing God for sending a tornado to destroy their town?

in order there to be light there must be darkness, in order to have good there must be evil, bad things happen and good does also. Sin entered the world and all of these things happen, but each thing that happens teaches us a lesson, and through each of them we need to trust God and know that good will come out of it, and that God is there with you through it all, and sometimes he may test you to see if you truly trust him

[himynameisbeautiful]

okay?

[Agape93]

Because they think that means it's going to turn out OK. But they fail to understand what that inherently means. Like for example, loved ones going missing without a trace, children being raped to death, babies getting bone cancer, someone murdering a loved one, people being eaten alive by wild animals etc.

[Honesttguy]

They dont know what to say so throw out some big words without knowing its true meaning thus why end up pissing other people off.

They need to paint their god in a good light as much as they can, just blame sin and men for whatever happens in the world, while god can sit back and just watch those horrible things happening. There's always a way to rationalize incoherent beliefs.

[IAmWillOfficial]

No God gave us free will if someone is doing those thing it’s because they wanted to not God. God knows everything that’s going to happen but let’s us choose to be/do good or bad. He just observes.

[Dchrls78104]

Christians like these obviously haven't read the Bible. (Ecclesiastes 9:11).

[najekim]

Because they were brainwashed in religious dogma to respond that way.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Of course not. They mean all of the blessings he has in store for you (if you’ll even accept them)

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Don’t blame or mistake him for the only he was ultimately betrayed by

Why are you hating something you don't understand?

[livingnightmare]

why are you asking a question to my question?

[livingnightmare]

i want an answer not a question, idiot

[all_hayl]

No need to be an ass.
Sometimes the best way to answer a question is by proposing a question. Very ironic that you call him an idiot.

[all_hayl]

I was going to address your question, but you seem to only be interested in a black & white answer instead of being interested in understanding the nuances of the question. AND, by the way you insult people who don’t give you the answer that you want, you show yourself to be a selfish ass. Therefore, I won’t be addressing your question, but will instead be blocking and muting you.
