I believe that to be a Christian you must compartmentalize your brain so as to allow some thought to exist and to block any that may create disharmony. If God was real, and loved us surely he would stop a grown man from sexually penetrating a very young girl just on his love for that child. Why doesn't he? and finally; the young girl that prayed to god to help her and was ignored, how does she grow up and believe in God?

Every single one of your comments have answers for them. I'll be answering two of them and then asking you questions.

The question on you asking how could the bible be true and that we can't say that the Bible proves itself because if you say that then every book can, but here's the thing with your incorrect statement.

The bible is actually 66 books, each written different times from eachother, without contradicting eachother, now answer this, how does a book, a book that people say is false, not contradict itself with many different writers who didn't even know of some of the others existence

The other one you said was "how could God allow cancer etc." Here's the thing, have you ever heard of, the fall, and sin, God created a perfect world and man brought sin into this world by disobeying what he told him, and before you say, oh they didn't know, they actually did understand, in genesis 3 1-4 eve clearly states that she understands that they aren't allowed to eat from it, anyway, the answer to why God allows cancer and illness, is because of sin, when Adam and eve sinned, that is called the fall, and that has caused death, illness, and harder to farm, and thats because humans chose to disobey God, if you want me to answer the rest of your questions, I would be more than happy too but I have to do things right now, so message me if you want answers or if you have questions

Maybe this post is so old that it will not be seen; but it reflects a real lack of knowledge about the Bible and God as well as all sorts of moralistic judgments that show you believe you are more moral than the God of the Bible. On what basis, I would not know. For instance, on point 7, would you kill an alcoholic, abusive father to protect his toddler child? If not, why not? On what basis could you affirm that such an act would be wrong? If you did kill him, you are no different from God. If there is a God who created us, He has every right to do as He wills, even if He is unjust in our minds (though I do not believe God is unjust). God's will was known to the people who willfully turned from it and would not be reconciled. In His wisdom, He deemed it better to eliminate them. Babies and children were rescued from the potential sin of their parents and taken to paradise. God then will judge each adult according to His perfect judgment. I think there are real answers to your questions. Contact me if you want to discuss them.

As I struggle with faith, one question that's popped up over the years is, when Cain was afraid of being banished because others might kill him, who were the others? We read that Adam and Eve had Cain and Abel, Cain killed Abel, but then Cain was afraid of being killed by "others" if he was banished, and so God put a mark on him. Again, who were the others? Where did they come from? Up until that moment, the reader assumes there were four people in all of humanity, minus one thanks to Cain. Is it or was it ever morally right to put someone to death for a homosexual act? God is immortal, beyond time, never-changing, yet today (thankfully) we would sentence a person to life imprisonment (or maybe even death) for following this of God's commands. Is the man who takes a homosexual person's life really the good guy and the rest of us the bad guy for prosecuting him? If your uncle blurted out at Thanksgiving dinner that homosexuals should all be killed, would you think he's a morally upstanding person or would you think he's out of his mind, or maybe vindictive and evil? If the latter, then is God always good, even if He ordered something vindictive and evil? This is touched upon in the above article, but this is the way I look at it. But really, did God change His mind, or are we just doing all sorts of intellectual yoga to explain away why we conduct our lives as if some of His Old Testament commands are immoral? How could anything take place on the first day, when a day is measured by the earth spinning one complete time and on the first day there was no Earth? What does the first day even mean when there was no standard by which to measure one? None of this is meant to mock. They're genuine questions from a person who struggles.

Watch out here! Mormonism is not Christianity! There is no scriptural basis for three kingdoms.

Most of your concern seems to come from a misunderstanding of the nature of God. It’s a hard truth to accept, but everything must have opposition. “If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad” (2 Nephi 2: 11). If God took away the results of the actions of sinners, like preventing murders, what reason would he have to punish them? Only evil thoughts. People who do bad things are allowed to do those things so that on judgement day, God has something to deliver justice for. Entertaining evil thoughts isn’t good, but it isn’t nearly as punishable as acting on them. God does not send a select few to heaven and the rest to eternal punishment. There are three kingdoms after death. The first kingdom holds the people of God, and they can be with the father of their spirits and with their families, because they have been sealed together by priesthood power. The second kingdom holds those who were good, but never accepted God. The third kingdom holds the sinners, and this kingdom is far from God. 1 Peter 4 talks of the gospel being preached to the dead, however, and I believe that even after death, those in the first kingdom will descend to the lower ones to continue trying to help Gods children to grow. God does not have a thing for foreskin, god has a thing for symbolic devotion. God gives trials to people so they have a reason to grow and so they can hopefully turn to Him for help. God does not hate people for feeling gay. Acting on homosexual tendencies is sinful, but there is no reason for anyone to hate someone who sins, because everyone sins. I’m grateful I haven’t had to face that trial, and I take pride in the people I know who have had to face those desires and overcame it anyway. Your confusion on Adam’s fall: “Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy” (2 Nephi 2:25). Adam and Eve only knew to do what they were told. They were told not to partake. Then they were told to partake. It was the first sin, but it was part of God’s plan. Adam and Eve set the precedent for agency, our ability to choose. The biggest tenant of Gods plan was that we be allowed agency to choose for ourselves what to do, with the understanding that our actions have consequences. This was not accidental. Translation of the Bible by one of Gods modern prophets, Joseph Smith, reveals that that verse about pharaoh actually should say “pharaoh hardened his heart”. I don’t have the strongest faith in the Old Testament, but the Book of Mormon testifies that the Bible is the word of God, and that is a physical evidence that helps me know the Bible is true, although sometimes I question the old testaments description of god

There is no book of Sash in the Bible. Hosea 13:6 says, "but when they had grazed, they became full, they were filled, and their heart was lifted up; therefore they forgot me." If you are going to use the Bible to support your argument, at least make sure the verses say what you claim and that the books actually exist.
