Why did God allow the holocaust to happen?

Question

Why did God allow the holocaust to happen?

Answer 1

The quickest, truest and most honest answer is because there is no god so HUMANs FAULT.



It is human HATRED BRED OUT OF RELIGIGION that starts every war.



It was Hitler's hatred of the Jews that made him cause a war and try to annihilate every Jew In the Holocaust NOT ANY GOD, IT WAS AN EVIL HUMAN BEING.



Read your History books.



I am not religious BUT FOR GODS SAKE, Do not try to put History down to some God I do not thinks exists.



If a God existed a Question you should be asking yourself : Is my god so fantastic that he would create everything and then allow it to destroy it'self?



My suggestion is that if as a person you create something and then wilfully destroy it you are normally carted off to Hospital under some kind of mental health section.



If I build or did some thing for you (Like the world as god is supposed to have done) But built it in such a way that it would ultimately tear itself apart You would want your money back!



Come on people, it is time you grew up and realised we all went to Sunday School when we were kids and believed everything were told, but then you realise, just like Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy, the Bible is just a Story!



So God did not allow the Holocaust because God Does not exist. An Evil Man called Adolf Hitler was responsible because he had ambitions to take over the world.



That has nothing to do with a god that does not exist it was down to an evil human being.

Answer 2

So humanity will be puzzled that there is a mystery behind human instinct and it is deeper than imaginations.



some will tell you story that you will wondered but not bad at all, Like this:

Answer 3

All the evil that has happened and will happen is not God's fault, Satan would love to have you think that but who really is in charge? (1 John 5:19) We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.

Everything you see happening on this earth is controled by Satan, there's only one thing he doean't control and that is the ones who have been set free of the ignorance Satan has clouded people minds with (2 Corinthians 4:4)

God does have a purpose for his creation even though man rejected him and chose to follow Satan, that man was Adam! The scriptures say through one man sin entered and through one man sin has been released! Jesus' death released man from his greatest enemy death! Not the way these churches of Christendom say but by showing God's purpose for a perfect world that he meant for man. This is what Jesus taught, he didn't teach the hell fire doctrine Jesus taught in the resurrection of the dead in the last days (Acts 24:15; John 11:24)

God's Kingdom will be right here on earth (Daniel 2:44) “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever,

Many will survive Armageddon (Rev 7:9,14) it say an unknown number will survive, then all the dead will be resurrected! (Acts 24:15)

Then death will be no more and man will grow back to perfection (Rev 20:14; Rev 21:3-4)

Answer 4

Because of His respect for our free will.



Human evil is caused the misuse of our free will. Our choice to be selfish instead of being loving. If you cannot choose to not to love then God is a tyrant and you are nothing but a robot. Your love has to be your own or it does not mean a thing.



Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn stated the following in relation to human evil and suffering: “Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened." Since then I have spend well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.



With love in Christ.

Answer 5

It seems such a ludicrously trivial answer in response to such a significant question. However, when a landlord allows a tenant to move into his property, he doesn't usually go back each day to tell the tenant to stop moving the furniture around etc.



Mankind has been given temporary tenure of the earth made by a loving Creator and man is allowed to just get on with it. Intervention is rare and it is almost unheard of for any individual to be spoken to directly by Him with the exception of one and one alone, to my knowledge.



When God acts, it is swift and decisive. To stop the Holocaust would have meant annihilating the whole of Germany. As many Germans were actually good people who did not agree with Hitler and the nazis and many were innocent children this would be a probable explanation.



Christians would also be aware that a new set of rules was in existence which meant that wiping out civilizations was also probably not on the agenda.



Many Germans repented.

Continents were united against evil.

The rights of man were established throughout most of Europe.

Lessons were learned and International Law established.

Many people became immediately sympathetic to the plight of millions of Jews.

There were great acts of courage, community spirit and mercy and compassion shone through even the darkest of days. Lasting friendships were formed.



In other words, even though great evil existed in those days, there arose goodness and unity amongst nations which countered and ultimately triumphed against this evil.



Man is and was given a free will, the ability to choose between right and wrong for himself. If there were no freedom of choice we would be like robots. In the case of a massive intervention in the days of global communication, it would be a breach of the original design. If you are given a free will, that would disappear immediately on recognition of a Divine Creator.



The better question is, would people, generally be happy with the idea that if they put one foot out of line they would be completely destroyed? Why don't you ask around and see what answers you get.



I wonder what it would really be like for many living under the threat of Divine retribution.



They do now, I hear you cry..... no, actually, they obviously don't.



There would be no murderers, no thieves, no liars, no other religions than the right one, no unbelief and no fornicators, idolaters, or those who love and practice deceit.



The other three of us would be fine (smiley face)??? lol?

Answer 6

If I may, I would like to give you a condensed, nutshell summary of what the Bible says about such awful things happening, not just the Holocaust, but all other bad, horrifying things. Please bear with me, it's not a short story.



The reason is that when Adam and Eve were first in existence, all was well in their Garden of Eden. But humans and angels both were given free will as to whether they continue to comply with God's requirements and standards or not. God had the right to set those standards, being the Creator.



One angel got some ideas about having a 'better way' and used the serpent to talk to Eve and get her to thinking like he was, and we know that she did eat off that tree, thereby disobeying God, and Adam ate from it later too so therefore, humans were officially messed up and imperfect. God withdrew his help to them and they began to break down mentally and physically and it would get worse thru the ages.



God did not destroy them or the bad angel right then because the angel had raised some questions. If you look at Genesis 3, the first few verses, he questions Eve about what God said and then just outright lied, 'you positively will NOT die'.......The first lie in the whole universe.



And everything went downhill from there. But this lie called into question whether God told the truth about anything, and it also questioned his way of doing things. Big issues, right?



So the wise thing to do was to let time go by, let that angel try to prove if his way really was better. He promised Eve she would become like God, knowing good and bad.



In the book of Job, there is more information about this very issue, it's so interesting. Chapters 1 and 2 tell of Satan (the bad angel) appearing before God and challenging him.



Anyway, this account shows that Satan now included all of mankind, not just Job (ch. 2 verses 2 thru 8). We are all involved in this situation now. So God allows more time to pass, enough time to prove whose way is truly best.



We have been living Satan's way for thousands of years, what do you think? Is it working? His way is the way of war, violence, terror, cruelty, and on and on. That's his way of thinking, and that is why horrible things have happened for so long. However, God has not been idle; he has a purpose for the earth and he has had to take a detour in that, but he will still achieve the end result of a beautiful earth with good people on it living in abundant peace and real love. According to Bible prophecy, that time of change is very near.



I'll share a few Bible verses that describe Satan and then some that describe God and you decide for yourself who has the better way.



Satan

Hebrews 2:14, 15 1 Peter 5:8 Revelation 12:7-9 Job chapters 1 and 2 Matthew 4:1-11



Jehovah God

Exodus 34: 6, 7 Deuteronomy 32:4, 5 Job 34:10 James 1:13-15 Romans 8:31, 32

Answer 7

Too easy of a question. God was pissedoff at the Jews again for like the bazillionth time for corruption and usury and stuff so he planted the idea in people's head that using extreem violence against them for their collective crimes was a great way to solve all the problems the Jews cause the goyim. So a strong leader took charge (Hitler) and he decided to move them all to Madagascar and just kill any who resisted this new Law. Things were going well, millions were captured, but the war was not going as well as planed against the evil democracy and communist countries so he decided that a more 'final solution' was necessary and systematic killing was the solution as the Allies had blocked his rout through North Africa to get the Jews to Madagascar. If his plan worked not many Jews would have died and Madagascar would be called Israel today and they would have peace and so would we. What to do with them now is another problem to be solved if we ever want economic freedom and morality.

Answer 8

Why does God "allow" all of the tragedies in the world to happen? There's much more than just the Holocaust. It's up to humans. Not God.

Answer 9

The holocaust happened, yet Israelites/Jews race still survived. The holocaust was to prove that God preserves His people. So many times people have tried to cut God's chosen people off, but they fail, time and time again. There are other races that have been on this earth but are now gone e.g. Aztecs etc.. God is behind the Jews. I don't know why the devastation must happen, but you know God is in control of all things. All things work out for the ones who love God. Many times I don't understand why things happen/ God allows things to happen. But only after it all plays out, will we be able to realize.

Answer 10

If you don't believe in God this question is redundant – history is made by people. If you do believe in God, you should consult your community's leader – every religion has its' own understanding on this matter. Some believe that without the Holocaust, the world nations would not accept the creation of the state of Israel and God wanted a Jewish state. If God exist we are not able to understand each action of the divine.

Answer 11

Are you insane? Religion was a great way of controlling the uneducated masses before advances in literacy, science and philosophy. Now it is at best quaint, and a crutch for people who have difficulty taking responsibility for their own actions or understanding the varying degrees of cruelty and kindness that humans can bestow on each other. Or used as an excuse to act with cruelty towards others eg ISIS, paedophile priests. It is all open to 'interpretation' by conniving 'scholars' for their own personal gain. The world would be a much better place without any religion, whether christian, Islamic, Buddhist or even pagan. Take responsibility for your own actions, and stop wasting time repeating mantras to an invisible sky giant who doesn't exist.

Answer 12

Well, an essential part of religion and its belief of god is the idea of free will. The ability to make our own choices in the most insignificant and significant things, that we have power over. But if God were to step in, continously controlling things for the better it defeats the purpose of free will and more importantly the religous belief that this life is a test and the result of our tests determine if we reincarnate into higher being, enter heaven/nirvana/jannah whatever it may be.

Furthermore it is inevitable that all humans will die be it in a mass genocide or on island alone. I do not mean to belittle the holocaust and its monstrosity but if you take one victim from amongst those people it wouldn't matter to them how they died the simple fact would be that they died for better or worse. It was simply the end of their life and their test. It would only be logic to give a harder test to someone who can perform better and also the reward will be greater.

Answer 13

The Holocaust and all the other acts of genocide committed throughout human history prove that “man has dominated man to his harm.” (Ecclesiastes 8:9) Furthermore, man’s Creator has not been silent in the face of so much horror. Through the pages of the Bible, he has revealed his reasons for allowing wickedness. God has also assured us that he has not forgotten mankind. In fact, the time period during which God has permitted man to rule himself will soon come to an end. (Jeremiah 10:23) Over 1,900 years ago, Jesus offered such a wonderful and happy hope in John 5:28, 29. The expression “memorial tombs” implies that those in them are retained within God’s memory until the day of their resurrection and restoration to life on earth.

So how does all of this affect millions of Jews, Slavs, and other victims of the Holocaust? They are truly not forgotten! They are in God’s memory, awaiting to hear Jesus' voice in the resurrection.

Answer 14

There are two major forces at work here on Earth - Good and Evil and we, mankind, stand between the two and must choose.



Jesus came to Earth to tell us of the Good and how it can and will overcome Evil.



In the 20thC, Evil manifested itself in the guise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. The Nazis sold their souls to the Devil in exchange for brief Earthly Power - they then set about the task of doing the Devil's work - one such work being the planned destruction of God's Chosen People, the Children of Israel.



The Holocaust is the work of the Devil and not of God.



God instead used his power to help support the Allies. He sent the Mighty Archangel Saint Michael to lead the invincible Red Army to destroy the Anti-Christ Adolf Hitler in his lair the Berlin Bunker.



The Human Mind is as the Human Soul - thus what we will our minds with here on Earth will remain with us in the next life.



We do not know where the Human Mind resides, even though most of us probably think it's in the brain area. But this does not explain 'out of body experiences' which are now taken seriously by scientists.



Anyone can be with Jesus, all we have to do is 'ask' and 'it will be given unto you'. Yes, that simple.

God With Us

Answer 15

I don't know.

It seems like a lesson that we should teach children empathy for others, teach parenting and nurturing skills, teach communication and social skills along with math end spelling.

Working at mcdonalds requires training, but parenthood has zero requirements or training. Some people are not capable of nurturing and educating children and should not be parenting without support and education.

Some societies value work over empathy as we saw in nazi germany - having a job overshadowed insight and awareness of the suffering of others.

Perhaps it is a lesson.

We have free will. There is cause and effect. Those are laws of reality. Perhaps we should learn ways to nurture a peaceful society. How can we learn and change until something truly terrible happens to unsettle us from our complacency?

To give those deaths meaning, we should create something equally good for society because we learned.

Answer 16

We have already seen the pathetic and amoral claim that god gave Man free will. That requires an explanation of why the free will of the Nazis outbid the free will of the millions who died in the holocaust. Why does the free will of a few evil people take precedence over the free will of millions who did not choose to die an horrific death in grave fear? I know you cannot answer this question because your religion is morally void. No blame can be laid at the feet of god; there are no gods and so they cannot be held to account for the evil actions of humans.

Answer 17

If it had happened it was not God's act. God never bothers who believe Him. God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits. Spirits are separate elements. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Even thoughts are not your own. When you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A human being is just a robot made of flesh, bones, tissues etc., and a toy of the spirits for their games.



There is no hell or heaven for human beings. They are only for spirits. I guess that the heaven is just the sky and hell is the prison for spirits. Good spirits are free to go anywhere in the sky but bad spirits are put in prison for certain years. Their lifetime is limited. If what they have said is true they live approximately for 500 years. Spirits are separate elements. There is always a common fate which is always applicable to all creatures including human beings. That is, we are like other creatures except that we have an additional sense (sixth sense). This sense had changed only the living conditions of the human beings but not the fate. The fate is almost same to all creatures including human beings.

Answer 18

Jehovah never causes suffering. He’s not to blame for war, crime, and mistreatment. God does not cause disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods. But you may wonder, ‘If Jehovah is the most powerful person in the universe, why doesn’t he stop those terrible things from happening?’ We know that God cares deeply about us, so he must have a very good reason for allowing suffering to continue.—1 John 4:8.

 Satan challenged Jehovah in front of millions of angels. (Job 38:7; Daniel 7:10) So Jehovah gave Satan time to prove whether his accusation was true. He also gave humans time to set up their own governments under Satan’s guidance to show whether they could be successful without God’s help.

Answer 19

Why did your parents allow you to kick that dog, get drunk and molest that waitress, spit on that homeless dude, gossip about your coworkers, lie to your boss, cheat on your wife, fiddle your taxes, litter the streets, etc. Your crap is your crap. Quit blaming your parents for the sh1t around you and take responsibility. Life is about proving yourself worthy not being bailed out. You're on here doubting a being you don't know who penned your reality when you don't even have your own sh1t together? Live your life and hope it comes to something that's not an embarassment of an existence. Then, maybe, you'll get an answer. Everybody wants to blame someone else or look elsewhere. Anywhere but themselves as a person or a species. Get real. People have achieved things which appear miraculous to others out of their will and determination. If you want to fall on your face and cry for someone to help you, go be a homeless bum on the street. We can be something and make a difference. You're sure as hell ain't gona do sh1t looking up at the sky. Get off your self entitled woe is me @ss and work for it, and by all means, peace be upon you.

Answer 20

It was the Christian electorate of Germany that elected a Christian leader that perpetrated the Holocaust. Trying to put the blame on an imaginary sky daddy to hide the stupidity of a people following blindly is a sure way to allow it happen again.



"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. -Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922



"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord." -Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)





Own it, Christians.

Answer 21

Aliens controlled Hitlers mind and made him a conduit which was basically the anti-Christ, in-turn brainwashing millions of German civilians amplifying the impact, creating an "Event", the distraction in the consciousnesses of the human psych allowed a gap in time where People weren't protected the way they should have been. Human being really aren't capable of those atrocities to there own kind.

Answer 22

I do not even know what my wife or children think most of the time. How do you expect me to know what God thinks!

-----

Most importantly is this: death is no obstacle to God. If a righteous person is killed, it is the killer who suffers eternally by being destroyed without any resurrection.



Once you get that, you can understand how sometimes things must happen to get a desired domino effect. As in, without Hitler and this holocaust, there would have been no Israel today. The Jews would have kept on living happily until today where their fathers and grandfathers used to.



Our present world configuration exists because of WWII, and the effects it had. In Asia, nations began to decouple from their European masters, as they did in Africa. Without Japan's invasion, without Germany and its war on various nations - our present configuration would not exist. Even Britain's opium war in China preconditioned the Chinese to what they are today, with their fears and desires, their desire to return to grandeur, to be a grand world-power once more.



So, our WWII had to happen. Now we are going into the last one WWIII soon, or some semblance of one. The stage has been set, prepared, and the actors are waiting in the sidelines to come onto the stage with all guns blazing - SOON. How soon? I have no bluudy clue.

Answer 23

Satan hates the Jewish people first and the Christians second. Hitler was a type of antichrist. But one is coming a lot worse than Hitler. The Jews rejected God in human flesh as Jesus. Even though salvation is of the Jews, there is no other name under heaven in which we must be saved and that name is Jesus Christ. When you reject Christ you are not under the protection of God. God set all the laws. God has let Israel be destroyed before because of their rebellious hearts. God chastens those He loves and God loves Israel and the Jewish people and God always saves a remnant of them. The Jews have never totally been destroyed. Time and time again, God calls them to repentance. God tells us to bless them and not curse them, because God has used the Jewish people as an example for the rest of us to show us what happens when we reject the God of Salvation.

Answer 24

Whether people like it or not, Him allowing it was a punishment for the Jews and for the white people's wickedness. The same way God allowed Israel's enemies to devour them as a punishment, He allowed this as a punishment. It wasn't that God made it happen Himself. Of course, He would never want to kill His chosen people. But the Israelis and the whites have always been arrogant. It was to teach them a lesson. Yes, Nords are the Jews themselves. Thumbs down all you like, I don't care. But like any merciful God He didn't let all of them die.

Answer 25

Read that ancient book 'The Book of Job'. You won't get an answer there but you will realise that this is one of the eternal questions. Is God the Divine Clockmaker? Or a puppeteer? Or an occasional visitor? Or none or all of the above? Or is God isn't?

Answer 26

With one explanation to justify the suffering of millions in the Holocaust, you play the "free will" card. Essentially saying, man does what man does and if you are part of that suffering, well, sorry. However, those that did not suffer, end up thanking God for his "will", which suggests God did have a hand in it. Which is it.



Consider this; a tornado touches down in Joplin, Missouri. It flattens entire neighborhoods, killing men, women and children, many of whom are church-going, God-fearing, honest people. Your answer it why this happens is...well, what exactly? "Free Will"? Um, man didn't choose that tornado. And what about those who were spared the suffering? Same honest, faithful people, but their family is spared the suffering and everyone thanks God for his "will". Huh?

Answer 27

Why does God allow any suffering? The Bible does answer that question and it goes back to when the first humans were created. When they disobeyed and listened to who we know now as Satan,God's right to rule, his sovereignty was called into questioned. All the meriads of angels even Jesus looks upon that situation. Does God have the right to rule? Does he have the right to tell us what to do? Is his way the only just and correct way? All of those questions arose when Adam and Eve sinned b/c of listening to something else that wanted the right to rule also. With the 6,000 years of humans being on earth we can see what humans ruling themselves has caused and it's to our detriment overall. Even with good intentions there is still so much injustice in the earth. We see this without a doubt how life is without God's kingdom ruling. That is why God has allowed suffering. Why for so long? The information below gives an in depth reason as to why God has allowed suffering for so long.

Answer 28

The holocaust never happened.

Answer 29

It appears that God used the results of the holocaust to reinstitute tge nation of Israel in 1948.



The nation of Israel is important for the fulfillment of end time prophecy.



Hitler intended to wipe out the Jewish race, and God ultimately used the results of that tragedy to rebuild the Jewish nation after 2000 years of non-existance.

Answer 30

Your question presupposes that "God" exists.

Take "God" out of the equation and you will have your answer.

There are many people in this world that make the "devil" look like a choir boy.

Free will is not the reason by the way. People are enslaved.

Mankind has never experienced freedom. Mankind has only ever experienced varying degrees of ignorance and slavery.

When mankind experiences less ignorance, he thinks it is enlightenment.

In time, mankind will understand just how limited his own authority is.

We have yet to conquer the common cold.

Answer 31

God, for whatever reason, follows the Three Laws of Imaginary Gods:



First Law: Within stories, legends, and realms of the imagination, imaginary gods may do _anything_ and have any properties, even when such things conflict with laws of logic, physics, or any other laws.



Second Law: But outside of stories, legends, and realms of the imagination, imaginary gods never affect the real world except via the agency of real persons or natural processes, nor communicate information both unavailable to and unimaginable by real persons.



Third Law: Nevertheless, real persons may give imaginary gods credit for anything occurring in the real world, even when such involvement would conflict with the Second Law.



Intervening to prevent the Holocaust would have been against the Second Law.

Answer 32

Maybe it's that God is doing that because it will turn out better in the end, or because He wants to let us make our own decisions. Not His fault that all the decisions are bad.

(1 quick thing: I'm a Christian but I'm not extremely religious. It's really disrespectful to insult someone's religion like some of you are doing. That's racist. Racism isn't just about the colour of your skin, it's about your beliefs as well. And I find it really insulting that you're saying this about my opinion. Your opinion is yours, like your beliefs, but you shouldn't be disrespecting the people who believe otherwise to you.)

Answer 33

Which one? There have been many in history. The latest being the Israeli holocaust of the Palestinians which happens every three years or so.

Answer 34

Why does God allow anything to happen? You're asking a question that can never be answered because God is never going to answer it.

Answer 35

You could then ask why he allows murders, rapes or terrorism to happen? The reason is because we all have FREEWILL . To choose to do good or bad. Ultimately we reap the consequence. But if god doesnt allow us freewill then the universe would simply be meaningless and we would become his puppets. Hope that's answered ur query

Answer 36

He have a set time when he will bring an end to suffering. His patience has allow some to repent.

2 Peter 3:9 Jehovah* is not slow concerning his promise,+ as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.+

Answer 37

The Holocaust was the raprure, Hitler was the anti Christ and we're the ones left behind.

Answer 38

The Holocaust was as all that happens under the great shroud of one that caused them to see not...past his own eyes being opened..then when he ate the fruit...his eyes widened...and after he gave up flesh..his breath to still make him to reorganize as God had breathed"life"into his nostrils..and if he not ill here..then God would be undone..Cane killed God..and the book records it..by Adam saying nod..(no defense)...CANE was Adam...remember..he had eaten the fruit of knowledge..of good and evil?and one of his sons good and one..evil?God shows here that he knew his first formation Adam was going to kill him using his own son(whom since he had knowledge of..he was..as one flesh?There is a heaven and hell for human beings..and if you believe him I have some ocean front property..he is a donkey headed elephant trunked son of a ***** that God didn't breathe life into so sure..he wants to rebel against my teachings in the book.-Roland

Answer 39

They abandoned There messiah..always in the Bible the jews went off and did there thing.sure were ok for a bit.but God always repaid there sins..as in moses leading children of Israel out of wilderness.they kept screwing up so no 1 over the age of 20 was left to enter the promiss land..read your Book whole thing then wont have to ask such things

Answer 40

I thought the Holocaust never happened it was a lie.

Answer 41

God told Adam and Eve do not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil or you will surely die.

The serpent in the tree called God a liar and told them if they ate the fruit they would be like God.



They took the word of a snake over the word of almighty Holy perfect loving God who NEVER LIES.

And they died just as he said they would. As far as God is concerned anyone who has not received Jesus as their savior is already dead. Even if he had rescued those people ... (Many christians died there too), They still all would have eventually died. God uses the circumstances of life, the circumstances we chose in the garden, to move us in the direction of his will. When the Jews were in Egypt he could have called them out into the wilderness at any time, but they would not have followed him into the desert to wander for 40 years and die, unless they were escaping the abuse and slavery and genocide of an evil pharro. And when the time came for the jews to return to their land after being scatterd about the earth for as Daniel was told they would be. The Jews would not have returned to the land if they were prosperous living well where they were all around the world and nothing would uproot them no command from the LORD would move them. And as it was when Jesus was born and the babies in Bethlehem were slaughtered in order to try and keep the king of the jews from being born and when Joseph was sold into slavery to keep him from becoming the leader of his brothers, when hitler killed the jews because satan wanted to keep them from returning to the land. (he knew the time was close just) What man meant for evil God meant for good. Hitler murdered millions of them jews and also christians. but it motivated the world to support Israel in their return to the land and motivated the people to leave their homes and return to the land. nothing else would have done it.



“You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit!

Answer 42

THE QUESTION POSED SHOULD BE-- WHY DID the nations allow it to happen, when they were warned by Jehovah's Witnesses as to the monster , Hitler's activities, as of 1919?



PLEASE NOTE how early was Hitler exposed to the earth & its powerful nations:



*** g95 8/22 p. 6 The Evils of Nazism Exposed ***

The Evils of Nazism Exposed

IN THE 1920’s, as Germany struggled to recover from its defeat in World War I, Jehovah’s Witnesses were busy distributing tremendous amounts of Bible literature. Not only did this offer comfort and hope to the German people but it alerted them to the rising power of militarism. BETWEEN ( my caps ) 1919 and 1933, the Witnesses delivered an average of eight books, booklets, or magazines to each of the approximately 15 million families in Germany.



*** g95 8/22 p. 6 The Evils of Nazism Exposed ***

The Golden Age and Consolation magazines often drew attention to the militaristic stirrings in Germany. In 1929, more than three years before Hitler came to power, the German edition of The Golden Age boldly stated: “National Socialism is . . . a movement that is acting . . . directly in the service of man’s enemy, the Devil.”

On the eve of Hitler’s taking power, The Golden Age of January 4, 1933, said: “There looms forth the menacing promontory of the National Socialist movement. It seems incredulous that a political party so insignificant in its origin, so heterodox in its policies, can, in the space of a few years, develop into proportions that overshadow the structure of a national government. Yet Adolf Hitler and his national socialist party (the Nazis) have accomplished this rare feat"



We as Jehovah God's people were among the first to be forced into the infamous concentration camps:



*** g95 8/22 p. 9 The Evils of Nazism Exposed ***

Witnesses Exposed Existence of Camps

ALTHOUGH Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, and Sachsenhausen were names unknown to most people until after World War II, they were well known to readers of The Golden Age and Consolation. The reports of Jehovah’s Witnesses, smuggled out of the camps at great risk and publicized in Watch Tower literature, exposed the murderous intent of the Third Reich.



NOTE HOW the little monster reacted :



***FURTHER -- g95 8/22 p. 8 The Evils of Nazism Exposed ***

On the same day, Jehovah’s Witnesses in 49 other countries met in special assembly and sent the following telegram to Hitler: “Your ill-treatment of Jehovah’s witnesses shocks all good people of earth and dishonors God’s name. Refrain from further persecuting Jehovah’s witnesses; otherwise God will destroy you and your national party.”

The Nazis responded almost immediately by stepping up their persecution. Hitler himself screamed: “This brood will be exterminated in Germany!” But as opposition intensified, the determination of the Witnesses stiffened correspondingly

Answer 43

The holocaust was man made, the basis for it was to find a scapegoat for the the problems of the dissolute and failing German state.

Answer 44

Rejecting God comes with consequences. This planet has rejected God en masse. That is quite easy to tell from the sheer number of people who now openly claim that they don't believe in God and those that assert that God doesn't exist. No one wants to talk about God anymore. No one wants to hear about God anymore. We (humans) become more evil the further away we drift from God and separate ourselves from His presence. The more emboldened we become in our rejection of God, the more severe the evil that we shall commit one against another. The holocaust, wars, murders, rape, cannibalism, ethnic cleansing, terrorism. You name it. The solution is to find our way back to God. It is a controversial and unpopular topic. But it is our only solution I'm afraid.

Answer 45

Gods thru out history, are whatever WE invented them to be.



From Ra, the sun God, to Zeus on Mount Olympus, to the Romans Apollo....to the Vikings ODIN, to the Chrisitians Jesus.........to the Muslims Muhammad, to Buddha, to that Indian 12 armed octupus lady thing............whatever............



The Ceiling Cat or The Great Flying Spaghetti Monster are both just as valid.



The great and mighty GOD Weasel, is also just as valid.



God is whatever you wish it to be. Did believing in God stop Amatrice Italy from being flattened?



Where was God when 290 people were being crushed to Death? Why would GOD flatten a Church dedicated to him?



Yeah yeah yeah.............I know..............the mythical being I invented, also moves in mysterious ways, that I also invented.



That sounds really cool instead of just accepting the realities of shifting tetonic plates and building really unstable crappy stone houses on top of them.....and taking that responsibility for our own foolishness. ------building such structures on ground known to be earthquake prone.



But yeah........blaming God is good too

Answer 46

All sort of fatal things will happen....eventually to every physical body here. I think you'd agree it is equally a question why a child might die, or even a 40 yr old. Why does anyone die, even?



We have 100% mortality finally, even more than the concentration camps had.



The answer ultimately must be about all of us, each of us -- why does anyone we know die? Why an auto accident? Why cancer at 50 or 35? Why did that 35 yr old mother of 2 have a heart condition, and die rescuing her toddler?......



To learn that, read the scriptures. This life is only temporary. But we will all live again, at least a while.

Answer 47

He allowed it, to fulfill his need to see chaos and suffering. Imagine how boring the world would be to God if everything was peaceful and everyone got along. God loves chaos, he does what ever he has to do, to keep it going, even if that means creating an alter ego, aka satan.

Answer 48

God had nothing to do with the Holocaust. That was Hitler.

Answer 49

For the same reason He allowed Peter to be crucified, Paul to be beheaded, Stephen to be stoned, and Ignatius of Antioch to be thrown to the lions.

God does not stop us from sinning. He only holds us responsible for it if we choose to do so.

Your mommy could make sure you eat right by insisting that she, and only she, is allowed to put food in your mouth. She can keep you safe by keeping you in the house with her and not allowing you out. She can make sure you stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer by dressing you herself. She did all of those things when you were too little to do them for yourself.

Do you want to give up your freedom and go back to those days in your own little Paradise? Most of us choose freedom.

Answer 50

God loves his people, so the holocaust is a teaching for them, they have understood

Answer 51

Take the time and read in the Old Testament, Leviticus chapter 26 and Deuteronomy, chapter 28. It's explained.

Answer 52

Because Germans were the true sons and daughters of God.



The west killed them and now we are getting punished for it as seen today with the white genicide in the western world by flooding it with blacks and Muslims.

Answer 53

God does not interfere in world affairs and natural disasters. We are all mortal human beings who have been given the freedom to choose what to do with our own lives.

Why do all the rich, wealthy, and powerful people in authority ( from all countries) allow poverty, crime, child pornography, warfare, drug trafficking, domestic violence, discrimination, and other destructive practices on this planet?

Answer 54

History taught us it was Adolf Hitler that allowed the Holocaust to happen.why do you blame your so called God?

Answer 55

There is an entire branch of holocaust theology. Get studying.

Answer 56

You might as well ask why God allows any evil to happen then. He allows people to make choices, bad or good. In the end though, everyone will be judged. It's not like there will not be any justice.

Answer 57

God's pattern of behaviour (over the course of 2000 years) is indicative of psychopathy.

He is ruthless, manipulative, and endearing (dare I say charming).

Most certainly a psychopath, of any other disorder.

Answer 58

Because Satan is the god of this world. See 2.Corinthians 4:4.

Answer 59

Who is god? What is god's purpose in space-time? are you assuming that god is here for us humans? are is here for something else? are we an experiment and is god a scientist? does god have a purpose for us or the universe as a whole? are we the primary focus or a byproduct of a different focus? what is god to you?

Answer 60

Each one of us plays out the exact role god intended for us as part of his Eternal Plan, put in to motion before the beginning of Time itself.

Answer 61

we are individual beings - if there ever was a SOURCE to creation ..then there is alot of evolution/creation in-between us and the source .. This creates FREE WILL



it works on the same basis as parents Vs their children - a parents WILL can not live a child's life 100% of the time

Answer 62

Free will, essentially. The wicked must be allowed to commit their evil acts, or else they could not be punished as they deserve.



Anything else would be a violation of justice. And God is nothing if He is not just.

Answer 63

Books have been written about this. Read them if you care to understand what is speculated about it. It doesn't cause me to question the existence of God, but the Shoah causes me to question the utility of religion.

Answer 64

Already had commandment 1# 2#



and his son gave 3#



and some of his disciples gave commandments too. actually



and were written down for us





If those Christians blew it



It's their fault

Answer 70

(Ecclesiastes 9:11) I have seen something further under the sun, that the swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because time and unexpected events overtake them all.

Answer 71

Every "why does god allow" question is answered the same way. He gave us free will He does not control; us. The real question is why did we allow it to happen

Answer 72

god gave man his own free will and mind to do he as please's it is man who allowed it to happen. when man does things god hates he lets out his anger with storms, hurricanes, earth quakes etc to vent his anger. man is at fault for all wrong doing.

Answer 73

"Blah blah blah free will blah blah blah"



That's basically the only nonsense you'll get out of these people.



The difference between their God and me is if I had the power to prevent suffering, I would.

Answer 74

Because He's not real, and imaginary people can't prevent real-world events from occurring. Next question!

Answer 75

There is no god, just us. Some behave ultra good and some ultra bad, and everyone else falls somewhere on the continuum.

Answer 76

Free will.

Answer 77

Because God doesn't exist.

Answer 78

Because He was busy curing cancer, solving the world hunger problem and instilling a tolerant nature in His beloved creatures.

Answer 79

if someone breaks into your home... DID GOD ALLOW IT OR DID YOU??? When Jesus rose from the dead He told the disciples "...all power is given unto Me GO IN MY NAME AND CAST OUT THE DEVIL..."... you see it is NOT God allowing but us NOT using the authority God through Jesus provided us...

To test your faith. That is the standard catch-all to cover his absence in situations where he could have made a positive contribution.
