Can someone answer my questions regarding christianity and God?
-
I have some questions and I thought this would be the best place to have them answered:1) Who causes death? God or Satan?2) And if Satan causes death, why does God allow Satan to kill or bring death to innocent children who belong to his devout christians? And/or why does God allow Satan to kill his adult devout christians?3) Is God is real or in control and there's only a heaven and a hell, then how do you explain reincarnation - where children as young as six and seven years old have claimed to live during WWII and be able to explain detail by detail things that went on during Pearl Harbor, WWI, The Harlem Renaissance and such?

Answer:
1. Death: Sin causes death so indirectly satan does since all sin is of it. But sin is IN the world by himan choice so really death is the fault of humanity for choosing satan over God and allowing its evil into the world. 2. Because death and decay, illness, disease, disabilty, etc are all a result of evil being allowed to warp this world in satans desire because of human choice made freely with free will God does not reverse the effects or consequence of freely made choices. Evil is part of the fabric of this world because its humans continue to choose ways of the world/satan over God and there are consequences of those choices. And God is all about personal responsibility and personal accountability. Humanity chooses to follow satan instead of God and the consequences of that are usually bad stuff. 3. God is IN control at all times but does not CONTRO at all times. He isnt a puppet master. He doesnt MAKE us do anything. We have free choice. And He CAN make things happen when He chooses but by and large things happen naturally aaccording the natural laws and processes God set in place at creation and/or the version of them as they now exist warped by sin. As for 'reincarnation' - one of the biggest fake out lies satan has ever fed to and fooled humanity with. Humans dont 'come back' as animals or anything else. Children can so easily be lead or coached into saying anything. And they have BIG imaginations. They are very inventive. If they live in a culture or family that talks about reincarnation like its real of course they want to fit in and impress their elders. Humans only get one life and one chance to make the right choice while ALIVE.

Christianity is confusing, isn't it? You will go insane trying to analyse and translate what was written thousands of years ago by mere mortal humans.
It's all fiction.

(1) Death is caused by a variety of factors- none of them supernatural. Accident, violence, disease, old age- none of these things require some supernatural being controlling them. (2) Christians attempt to get around the fact that their god seems to be able to do nothing to stop his creation Satan from doing evil with the cop-out of "free will". However, since said deity is supposed to be omniscient (all knowing), there is no such thing as free will since all outcomes are known ahead of time by "god". Further, since said god would have known exactly what "satan" would do when he created him and did so anyway, the only logical answer is that "god" would either have created satan on purpose to do evil, or doesn't have the power to stop it. With either choice it's neither a deity that makes sense or is one worth worship. (3) There is no evidence any gods exist, nor any afterlife- and that includes reincarnation. People tend to ignore that there are thousands of gods mankind has worshiped and thousands of belief systems- it's always "of COURSE the one I personally believe in is the only REAL one".

I will answer your questions according to Christianity. 1. God causes death, but 'Satan' lures people into temptation and can also cause death. Ex.: suicide. 2. I have no idea. I have wondered that about Christianity. why would a "supreme god" allow some prick with horns to challenge him and his awesomeness. 3. According to Christianity there is a god. those children were coached by adults.

1.) Both. 2.) Because God has given man free will to decide how to live. Satan only takes those who choose to fall under his power. 3.) As for God being real, I believe so, but many people don't. As for reincarnation, I was watching a show the other day and a child who was talking about his previous life. He said that God wants people to learn certain lessons in life. If you didn't learn what you needed he sent you back so you can learn. He went on to explain some people have new souls and some have older ones.

1) Adam brought death into the world when he sinned. It is now a part of reality. 2) See # 1. 3) The Bible does not specifically preclude reincarnation; however, given the relation of one's soul to one's body, it is considered by many theologians to be extremely unlikely. As to why we can't always understand the seeming contradictions that appear to be in the Bible, I think you can attribute some of that confusion to the work of the devil as well as to man's inherent limitations as created beings with regard to his ability to understand various things.. Those are my "answers" to your questions. It's a perspective that may help you understand how to approach understanding those questions. Use them if it helps.

1. Neither...Physical life is transitory 2. Refer to #1 3. New soul vs Old soul (The physical self is transitory, the spirit eternal. Hence, memories without BS) Safe Journey

How can you say God causes death? It is evident that its happens to everyone on this earth when the time arrives. He doesn't go around pointing out his finger.

Death is a result of sin. God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and bad, if they disobeyed they would die. Satan seduced Eve into eating the fruit, thus they died and they passed on their sinful inclination to us, as well as death(Genesis 2:15,16, 3:1-5; Roman 5:12). Satan is the ruler of this world right now because Adam and Eve and the majority of mankind has rejected rulership by God, as a result there is an enormous amount of suffering here on earth. God has allowed this because the issue of universal sovereignty and mankind's integrity is at stake. Satan claimed that humans would be better off without God, that he was not able to rule them in the best way in order for them to be the happiest. This is a lie, and the suffering in the world is proof of that. Jehovah God has allowed time to past in order to prove to the universe that his way is the best and the only way for humans to be truly happy is to submit to his rulership. (1 John 5:19; Matthew 5:3; Job 2:1-6) Mankind has the opportunity now to choose God's way and gain the prospect of everlasting life. The good news is that God is going to undue death and suffering all the bad fruitage that satan has caused. Soon it will be gone forever and faithful mankind will enjoy the earth under peaceful condition forever as God intended in the beginning (Psalms 37:10,11; Revelation 21:3,4). visit JW.ORG
