God isnt doing hte wrong he is making our wrong into good while still letting us keep our free will, that however takes time and willing people and unfortunately experience.
But this makes no sense. He can't force the end result of all of our bad choices to be a good one, or then He would somehow be interfering with Free Will. It would be impossible to have a master plan for the world, without somehow intervening with the world and directing its future. There is no way in which God could orchestrate a good future without having interfered with Free Will somewhere along the line.
In Romans it says that if a person looks for God honestly then God will reviel himself to him, so yes everyone is able to search after God everyone is able to find him, and btw 85 percent of young people live the church, its thought by some to be a big disadvantage to be born into it.
The Aztecs had never heard of God until missionaries from Spain destroyed their entire culture in the 1600s and gave them the ultimatum: "repent for your sins so we can stop torturing you, and you may die in peace". The indigenous population of Australia had never heard of God until missionaries from around England kidnapped them from their families, forced them to forgo their own
devilish culture and re-educated them into a proper, white, Christian lifestyle. The Native-Americans, the Africans, the Aryan race, none of these people had ever heard about Christianity until the missionaries came along. There are still bushmen in Africa who haven't ever seen a white man, let alone a missionary.
With this in mind, I truly do find it hard to agree with the book of Romans in this regard. If people truly could experience and perceive the true nature of God irrespective of their upbringing, then you would think at least one of the indigenous races of the world would have realised the error of their ways before missionaries came along and corrected them for being "wrong".
But I do agree with Romans when it says this:
Rom 2: 9-16
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism. All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.)
People should be judged based on what they do, not on what they believe. And even then, an
eternal hell is an unjust punishment. This still holds true even if you believe in a metaphorical hell. As I said, at some point in eternity, the punishment given would have to exceed the crime carried out, and it would be infinitely ubjust and unmerciful to continue to torment those people.
so you thinks subjective wether pedophilia is wrong, or murder is wrong or rape is wrong, that they arnt really bad or evil, they are just given those names?
I don't see how this is so hard to understand...
Yes, I do believe that right and wrong are subjective. The pedophiliac might not believe he's wrong at all, he might think he's in love. The rapist might not think there's anything wrong with what he's doing either. And that's their opinion, their morality coming to play, but it most definitely isn't mine. Personally, I think the act of rape is disgusting, repugnant, vile, and I find it incredibly hard to understand how another human being could put someone through that kind of life-long pain. But that's my opinion. That's my morality coming to play.
The fact that ethical frameworks can differ between people is proof that morality is subjective, and not absolute. Until you can show me how people don't have differing opinions regarding right and wrong, then I'm going to stick with my views. Sorry.
