why does god allow us all to be sad?

because we need to live a life and experience everything

good and bad

possibly because he is an asshole.

YOU allow YOU to be sad.

Come on...

That's true if our lives were comfortable and perfect we wouldn't need God.

this

He wants you to know how he feels having to deal with your sheep like self

Because God is sad. Wouldn't you be if you were him? Look around.

When human lost the ability of being sad, they would lose compassion towards other human being. In other words, feeling sad sometimes make us grow, feel more passionate towards others, and to put oneself in another's place, as to step into one's shoes and understand what other people feel. It is a learning process.

we are in gods toilet...sometimes corn sometimes nuts...

Because he doesn't allow prozac and paxil to grow on trees?

god? what god?

Bingo...megalomaniac self-absorbed asshole.

In order for you to keep your eyes on what lies ahead

Because he doesn't want to force us to be happy.

To encourage you to find that you have the ability to control you mind and emotions.

If one never learns to calm their mind, they are at its mercy.

Do you steer your car or do you let it run amok?

Do you focus on what you want to think about or does your mind wander? Can you quiet your mind completely and use it to observe without thought and to focus energy?

These are the most valuable lessons you can learn in life.

It takes lifetimes to learn completely, but you can learn enough in a few years to understand how powerful the process is and to make a major difference in your life.

Eventually we will learn that we are just consciousness, awareness, which allows us to perceive and know. We are not our thoughts. For most of us, they are distractions that keep us from being aware of truth.

You are the problem, not any god.


nw

This is true.
No matter how you cut it, ass-holiness is part of the divine nature otherwise it wouldn't be possible in humans.
In fact it's pretty obvious that god is a cruel psychotic ass-holy being who takes great pleasure in tormenting his creations.
Why else do assholes prosper while decent people are ground into the dirt.
Because god enjoys it.

Read this short description of our LORD...

[link to cgi.godsview.com]
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.


Should they that are in him and who follow him be any different. Every thing has its season. Joy and sorrow. But we know we have no abiding home here and our spirit confirms this within ourselves. And we groan within ourselves waiting for our adoption. To become who we truly are intended to become and to put off this mortal body and with it the sin and weakness which still remains and holds us back.

Have good cheer OP, and practice patience and hope for the future.

peace,

wonderful way of expressing this.

What we call the Ultimate "God" is really pure, unconditional love and light. When we are connected, we connect through our energy hearts and we feel joy, calmness, peace, and happiness. It is not forced. We have to accept it from Source and FEEL it all the time.

God does not allow us to be sad, we allow ourselves to be sad. It's part of 'free will' given to us to choose sadness, anger, jealousy,arrogance, and all negative emotions over love, joy, peacefulness, etc.

i've been there with depression and many days of sadness. I didn't know how to be happy. with the grace of God, I took a leap of faith and took some courses that taught me how to find that happiness deep within. it's been almost 2 years and i'm much happier now - much more. it did take time, money and travelling, but it was well worth every penny. but you don't have to do that. you can practice at home how to FEEL for that happy feeling and do the prayers for free. just follow the download links, but you can read the website for more info. and it explains why. being happy is possible. taking the classes makes being happy easier and the spiritual growth is fast - really, really fast.

"smiling" makes the heart grow fonder. enjoy smiling today and everyday.

One day you will deeply regret what you say

actually, i wasn't sad for days, i was sad for decades. lol. one day i dreamt that i was looking at myself in the mirror and saw about 2+ decades flash b4 my eyes. i watched myself change through the years and the one thing i noticed was that i wasn't happy throughout the entire time. it's when i became aware of my problem and went searching. for me, the program is really a Grace from God and has saved my life from the downward spiral of sadness, depression, rage and a nervous breakdown. feel better op. i hope you find that happiness deep within your heart. if i can do it, so can you.

Yep, god will fry you like a Mars bar in a Scottish fish and chip shop.
But he's really a nice guy undernath it all.
He is.
Really.

Think about how sad and lonely God must feel.


Hardly any of us really care about Him.

You experience what He feels OP.

God gave you free will.
To force you to do anything would be against the very core of what LOVE IS.

For Love is the expression of free will and the free will of the person to make a choice.

God didn't make us robots that are programmed.
We have a CHOICE!

But the down side is that there is always a consequence for the wrong choices you make.

Make the correct choice.
Choose to accept the Lord, Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and be forgiven of your sins by asking Him to forgive you of them and repent humbly and sincerely of them in your heart.

In Jesus Christ,

God Bless!!!

This is a fallen world.

When we experience pain, we can be respect pleasure and value it.
I often ponder on the same questions, OP. Then I realize that it's about balance, also to make us STRONGER.
