if god wants people to come to know Jesus before they die, then why does he allow cyclones to kill?

It is the fault of their society that builds constantly in disaster zones known for such natural events. look at their government, didn't even try to warn people of the coming cyclone.

took days to allow help to the victims.

How in the world can you blame GOD for the sheer strange idiotic actions of a terrible government and military that prevents help in a crises.

if you sleep on a train track all the time do not blame GOD for being run over eventually!! No matter how many times he has moved you off the rails!!

Yea and thousands of christians get killed i dont c u writing anything bout that

y it happens idk

God has a plan that we dont no only He does and yea the world is gettin worst as we humans move further and further away from God do u think just mayb it should b a wake up call cause wen catastrophes

its the only time most ppl inquire about God

but hey thats my opinion

Spirits have lots of lives, that is what reincarnation is. And there is way, way, way, more to a spirits karma and how much ego will prevent them from finding their way back to God than we humans could ever comprehend. Sure God would like it if we woke up in this life time, but everyone is at their own place and we will never understand who is to wake up in which lifetime. Just trust that God knows what he is doin.

GOD is a loveing GOD ,but GOD is also a judgementel GOD and the time has come for all things to come to a new beginning ,and he has given people 2000 years to prepare and they just go on like he will never come back ,but he will and soon ,,,GOD is not a lier he is comming be ready,,,,,

the answer is free will. why didn't go same my dying 90 year old grandmother who dosn't know Jesus? as long as you are alive you have choice to follow Jesus or not. God is all powerful, but if he always intervened would we have anything to fear? would we trust in God or rely on him? life is a choice, God cant do anything. God cant hate, lie, or break his promises. in the end its a choice. their choice, and the consequences of the choices of other people.

There are tens of billions of people that have perished on this Earth, never even HEARING the name of Jesus. How is this fair if all that is said about christianity is true? It isn't fair, and thus not the edict of any omnibenevolent force.

Well, everyone should know that tomorrow isn't promised. Everyone is given more than enough time to come to Him. It's their choice to either take it or leave it. They can't expect and promise themselves that they are going to live until they're 100. So, they have to live every day as if it's their last.

God says from the begining, "MY Spirit shall not always strive with man". So you never know when your last chance to except Jesus will be. Believe me no one dies without a chance to come to Jesus, so if they don't, it is their choice not God's. If a person dies and goes to hell, they will have to go around the Cross of Calvery

Its natural for cyclones that takes place in the atmosphere, god lets allot of things to happen, its up to you to protect your self and always pray.

Why should God make people knowing they are going to hell forever?

This question raises many issues. If God is all loving, why would He send people to hell? What is hell? Is it a place of eternal torment? Why create creatures knowing they will end up in an eternity of damnation? Is God helpless to save them all?

Often times, skeptics try and present an idea so that fairness and compassion necessitate that the Christian God cannot be real. For example, they sometimes say that a truly loving God would not create people He knew would go to eternal punishment. Of course this is only an opinion, but it is sometime raised nonetheless. As one skeptic put it, "If God truly loves us (this sacrificial love you talk about) then he would simply say 'I do not want the child to be born'. He is in control and has that ability doesn't he? As I would not wish any of my children who I love to go through a life of agonizing pain." The main problem with such an approach is that it is overly simplistic and based on emotionalism, not scripture. So, let's look at what the Word of God says.

First of all, when God made Adam, He made him good. Adam had the freedom to choose to obey or disobey God. Adam is the one who rebelled. God did not make him rebel and God is not responsible for Adam's rebellion. It would be like a parent having a child knowing that the child would eventually disobey the parent. Does this means that the parent is responsible for the child's rebellion when it occurs because the parent knew it would happen? Of course not. Furthermore, if the parent has more children, does he/she not know that some children may very well turn out good and others bad? Should the parents then not have children because some of them might turn out bad? The skeptic, if he is consistent, would urge parents not to have any children at all lest some of them turn out bad.

But the skeptic might say, "But God knows for a fact who will be bad and good. Why allow the people going to hell to be born in the first place?" But, if this is the case and if God arranged it that no "bad" people were born, then we would all go to hell. You see, Jesus is the only way to be forgiven of our sins. His sacrifice on the cross was necessary in order to make it possible for us to be saved because everyone, "good" and "bad" has sinned. If there were no "bad" people born, then there wouldn't be any "bad" people around who would have sent Jesus to the cross. If that never happened, then we wouldn't be saved from our sins because Jesus would never have been unjustly condemned and His sacrifice would never have happened.

Second, if someone says that it is wrong for God to allow someone to be born who will go to hell, then would he rather have God remove our freedom to rebel against Him so that no one can be blamed for sin? If the critic says he only want those people born who go to heaven, then how are they truly free and how would that fulfill the ultimate plan of God to sacrifice His Son for the redemption of mankind?

Third, God could have reasons for sending people to hell that we cannot understand.

Fourth, God is just and always does what is right. Therefore, sending people to hell is the right thing to do, especially when we understand that God is eternally holy and those who sin against God incur an infinite offense because the infinite God is the one who is offended.

Finally, the Bible simply tells us that people will go to hell. They go there because they are not covered by the sacrifice of Christ. Whether or not they are created or not does not effect the fact that sinners must be punished; otherwise, the holiness and righteousness of God mean nothing.
