Many people think that God is uncaring and hardhearted. ‘If God cared,’ they reason, ‘would not the world be a very different place?’ We look around and see a world full of war, hatred, and misery. And as individuals, we get sick, we suffer, we lose loved ones in death. Thus, many say, ‘If God cared about us and our problems, would he not prevent such things from happening?’ Worse yet, religious teachers sometimes lead people to think that God is hardhearted. How so? When tragedy strikes, they say that it is God’s will. In effect, such teachers blame God for the bad things that happen. Is that the truth about God? What does the Bible really teach? James 1:13 answers: “When under trial, let no one say: ‘I am being tried by God.’ For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.” So God is never the source of the wickedness you see in the world around you. (Job 34:10-12) Granted, he does allow bad things to happen. But there is a big difference between ALLOWING something to happen and CAUSING it. For example, think about a wise and loving father with a grown son who is still living at home with his parents. When the son becomes rebellious and decides to leave home, his father does not stop him. The son pursues a bad way of life and gets into trouble. Is the father THE CAUSE of his son’s problems? No. (Luke 15:11-13) Similarly, God has not stopped humans when they have CHOSEN to pursue a bad course, but he IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS that have resulted. Surely, then, it would be UNFAIR to blame God for all the troubles of mankind. God has GOOD REASONS for allowing mankind to follow a bad course. As our wise and powerful Creator, he DOES NOT have to explain his reasons to us. Out of love, however, God does this. You can learn more about these in the 1st weblink of my "sources" section below. But rest assured that God IS NOT responsible for the problems we face. On the contrary, he gives us THE ONLY HOPE for a solution!—Isaiah 33:2. Furthermore, God is holy. (Isaiah 6:3) This means that he is pure and clean. THERE IS NO TRACE OF BADNESS IN HIM. So we can trust him completely. That is more than we can say for humans, who sometimes become corrupt. Even the most honest human in authority often does not have the power to undo the damage that bad people do. But God is ALL-POWERFUL. He can and WILL undo ALL the effects that wickedness has had on mankind. When God acts, he will do so in a way that will end evil FOREVER!—Psalm 37:9-11. HOW DOES GOD FEEL ABOUT INJUSTICES WE FACE?: In the meantime, how does God feel about what is going on in the world and in your life? Well, the Bible teaches that God is “a lover of justice.” (Psalm 37:28) So he cares deeply about what is right and what is wrong. He HATES all kinds of injustice. The Bible says that God “felt HURT at his heart” when badness filled the world in times past. (Genesis 6:5, 6) God HAS NOT changed. (Malachi 3:6) He still HATES to see the suffering that is taking place worldwide. And God HATES to see people suffer. “He CARES for you,” the Bible says.—1 Peter 5:7. HOW can we BE SURE that God hates to see suffering? Here is further proof. The Bible teaches that man was made IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. (Genesis 1:26) We thus have good qualities BECAUSE GOD HAS GOOD QUALITIES. For example, does it bother you to see INNOCENT people suffer? If you care about such injustices, be assured that God feels EVEN MORE STRONGLY about them. One of the best things about humans is our ability to love. That also REFLECTS God. The Bible teaches that “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) We love because God loves. Would love move you to END the suffering and the injustice you see in the world? If you had THE POWER to do that, would you do it? Of course you would! You can be just as sure that God WILL END SUFFERING AND INJUSTICE. The promises are not mere dreams or idle hopes. God’s promises ARE SURE TO COME TRUE! In order to put faith in such promises, though, you need to KNOW more about the God who has made them. GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW WHO HE IS: If you want someone to get to know you, what might you do? Would you not tell the person YOUR NAME? Does God have a name? Many religions answer that his name is “God” or “Lord,” but those ARE NOT personal names. They are TITLES, just as “king” and “president” are titles. The Bible teaches that God has MANYTITLES. “God” and “Lord” are among them. However, the Bible also teaches that God has A PERSONAL NAME: JEHOVAH. Psalm 83:18 says: “You, whose name is JEHOVAH, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.” If your Bible translation DOES NOT contain that name, you may want to consult the Appendix of this information to learn why that is so (located in the 2nd weblink of my "sources" section below) . The truth is that God’s name appears THOUSANDS of times in ancient Bible manuscripts. So Jehovah wants you to KNOW his name and to USE it. In a sense, he is using the Bible to INTRODUCE HIMSELF to you. God gave himself a name that is full of meaning. His name, JEHOVAH, means that God can fulfill ANY PROMISE HE MAKES and can carry out any purpose he has in mind. God’s name is UNIQUE, one of a kind. It belongs ONLY to him. In a number of ways, Jehovah is unique. How is that so? We saw that Psalm 83:18 said of Jehovah: “You alone are the Most High.” Similarly, Jehovah alone is referred to as “the Almighty.” Revelation 15:3 says: “Great and wonderful are your works, Jehovah God, the Almighty. Righteous and true are your ways, King of eternity.” The title “the Almighty” teaches us that Jehovah is THE MOST POWERFUL BEING THERE IS. His power is UNMATCHED; it is SUPREME. And the title “King of eternity” reminds us that Jehovah is unique in another sense. He ALONE has ALWAYS existed. Psalm 90:2 says: “Even from time indefinite to time indefinite [or, forever] you are God.” That thought inspires awe, does it not? Jehovah is also unique in that he ALONE is the Creator. Revelation 4:11 reads: “You are worthy, Jehovah, even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.” EVERYTHING that you can think of—from the invisible spirit creatures in heaven to the stars that fill the night sky to the fruit that grows on the trees to the fish that swim in the oceans and rivers—all of it EXISTS because Jehovah IS THE CREATOR! CAN YOU BE CLOSE TO JEHOVAH?: Reading about Jehovah’s awe-inspiring qualities makes some people feel a little uneasy. They fear that God is too high for them, that they could never get close to him or even matter to such a lofty God. But is this idea correct? The Bible teaches JUST THE OPPOSITE. It says of Jehovah: “In fact, he is not far off from each one of us.” (Acts 17:27) The Bible even urges us: “Draw close to God, and he WILL draw close to you.”—James 4:8. How can you draw close to God? To begin with, continue doing what you are doing now—learning about God. Jesus said: “This means everlasting life, their TAKING IN KNOWLEDGE of you, the ONLY true God, AND of the one whom you SENT forth, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3) Yes, the Bible teaches that learning about Jehovah AND Jesus leads to “everlasting life”! As already noted, “God is love.” (1 John 4:16) Jehovah also has MANY other beautiful and appealing qualities. For example, the Bible says that Jehovah is “a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness and truth.” (Exodus 34:6) He is “good and ready to forgive.” (Psalm 86:5) God is patient. (2 Peter 3:9) He is loyal. (Revelation 15:4) As you read MORE in the Bible, you will see how Jehovah has shown that he has these and MANY other appealing qualities. True, you cannot see God because he is an invisible spirit. (John 1:18; 4:24; 1 Timothy 1:17) By learning about him through the pages of the Bible, however, you can come to know him AS A PERSON. As the psalmist said, you can “behold the pleasantness of Jehovah.” (Psalm 27:4; Romans 1:20) The more you learn about Jehovah, the more REAL he will become to you and the more reason you will have to love him and feel close to him. You will come to understand why the Bible teaches us to think of Jehovah as OUR FATHER. (Matthew 6:9) Not only does our life come from him but he wants THE BEST LIFE POSSIBLE for us—just as any loving father would want for his children. (Psalm 36:9) The Bible also teaches that humans can become Jehovah’s FRIENDS. (James 2:23) Imagine—you can become A FRIEND of the Creator of the UNIVERSE! As you learn more from the Bible, you may find that some WELL-MEANING people will urge you to STOP such studies. They may worry that you will CHANGE your beliefs. But DO NOT LET ANYONE STOP YOU from forming THE BEST FRIENDSHIP you can EVER have. Of course, there WILL be things that you DO NOT UNDERSTAND at first. It can be a little HUMBLING to ask for help, but do not hold back because of EMBARRASSMENT. Jesus said that it is GOOD to be HUMBLE, like a little child. (Matthew 18:2-4) And children, as we know, ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS. God WANTS you to FIND the answers. The Bible praises some who were eager to learn about God. They checked CAREFULLY in THE SCRIPTURES to MAKE SURE that what they were learning WAS THE TRUTH.—Acts 17:11. The best way to learn about Jehovah is to examine THE BIBLE. It is different from ANY other book... period. Answered By: Myro - 9/11/2009

ONLY two truths about God if kept in mind tells everything. 1. God is Love. 1 John 4:8 "those who do not love, have not come to know God, for God IS love" 2. God CANNOT lie. This struck me as SO profound. HE CANNOT. Something GOD cannot do, SELF professed in a world of philosophers with silly questions like "If God can make a rock so big EVEN he cannot move it..." Well here is GOD being humble. Not saying, WELL I AM GOD I CAN LIE IF I WANT TO... Hebrews 6:17 In this manner God, when he purposed to demonstrate more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his counsel, stepped in with an oath, 18 in order that, through two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to the refuge may have strong encouragement to lay hold on the hope set before us. " So I took those TWO things from the Bible and for over 40 years I put them to an honest test. IS GOD LOVE? CAN HE LIE? Because this last scripture gave me another clue... " In this manner God, when he purposed to demonstrate more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his counsel, stepped in with an oath," I got to thinking what was the promise and WHO are the heirs? If he cannot lie and he is love, WHAT ARE THE PROMISES?? Which kept leading me to the past examples in the Bible Promises he made to people, were they feasible? WOULD people die for sinning and "for dust you are and to dust you will return?" "is God forgiving?" Psalms 103: 11 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, His loving-kindness is superior toward those fearing him. Which led me to this thought Isaiah 55: 7 Let the wicked man leave his way, and the harmful man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, who will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will forgive in a large way. 8 “For the thoughts of YOU people are not my thoughts, nor are my ways YOUR ways,” is the utterance of Jehovah. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than YOUR ways, and my thoughts than YOUR thoughts. 10 For just as the pouring rain descends, and the snow, from the heavens and does not return to that place, unless it actually saturates the earth and makes it produce and sprout, and seed is actually given to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 so my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it. 12 “For with rejoicing YOU people will go forth, and with peace YOU will be brought in. The mountains and the hills themselves will become cheerful before YOU with a joyful outcry, and the very trees of the field will all clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thicket of thorns the juniper tree will come up. Instead of the stinging nettle the myrtle tree will come up. And it must become for Jehovah something famous, a sign to time indefinite that will not be cut off.” Which lead me to...I CANNOT BE HIGHER THAN GOD, and HE forgives others then asks us to as well... No Not asks, DEMANDS it, with a promise. That we cannot judge so we won't be judged. IF you meditate on all of these, and you put them to the test. They are so reliable. But thats through DECADES of testing this. If I did not KNOW the truth about Jehovah, and all I saw was this *sweeps arms pollution, crime, greed, lusts rein as KING, Earthquakes, cruelty to children, animals, the vulnerable... anger, demonic... it is SO demonic all of it. people so selfish I would wonder when and where and how it would all end. I would be LOOKING for the answers to these things. But I know that because... I know the truth about God. And why these things exist, and how they will be made right Including one of my favorite scriptures.... In the paradise God promises the memory of this time "will not be called to mind" All of it down to allowing the wickedness for this length of time to SHOW... WE CANNOT WALK TO DIRECT OUR OWN STEP.. TO SHOW WHY ADAM AND EVE should NOT have eaten of that fruit. And the wisdom in allowing it all to play out and SEE besides "they would return to dust" WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ALL OF US.. We see don't we? We see what a world WITHOUT GOD IS, A world that listens to that "little voice" from a serpent.. Telling us God is a liar... Don't worship him. But that leads us back to.... IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE. And the way it played out is true. The truth about God is.... In the Holy Scriptures. Test it out, like a scientist with a heart and lack of ego searching for a cure for.... anything vicious. Answered By: Bienvenue à Zanzibar - 9/11/2009

God is spirit. John 4:24 God is kind and it is His kindness that leads men to repentance. Rom 2:4 God is loving and compassionate. 1John 4:8, Lam 3:22 God is faithful. Numbers 23:19 This has been the character of God in my relationship with Him. He is good - all the time. When we see it any other way it is because we have taken our eyes off of Him. All good and perfect gifts come from Him, so if what we are seeing isn't good or perfect, it didn't come from Him. Source(s): John 4:24 (24) God is spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."Rom 2:4 Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know11 that God's kindness leads you to repentance? 1Jn 4:8 The person who does not love does not know God, because God is love. Lam 3:22The LORD's loyal kindness never ceases; his compassions never end. Num 23:19 "God is not a human who lies or a mortal who changes his mind. When he says something, he will do it; when he makes a promise, he will fulfill it. Answered By: Lori T - 9/11/2009

Jehovah is awesome, he is my best friend. I read my bible everyday and learn more things about him everyday. I look outside and see the beautiful things that he has done. ever look at the sky at night and see the stars and the night sky. I can go to Jehovah anytime of the day or night and talk with him. and I do it threw his Son Jesus Christ. Jehovah sent his Son down to earth to die for us so that we can live forever on a paradise earth and never die. Jehovah wants us to serve him because he love him and want to, but the devil tries to get us to turn our backs on him and serve the devil instead. look what he did to Adam and Eve. we have to be real careful and stay strong.

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now. 1 answer - Asked By: Alex Prieto - 10/14/2012

	What to wear to a job interview VS a career fair? So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?! 2 answers - Asked By: Beast - 9/23/2012

	Are there any career in computers that doesn't involve code scripting? 1 answer - Asked By: Big D - 5/3/2013

	Why can't people see that technology will soon cause civil war in the USA? Advances in technology will soon cause 70-80?nemployment in the USA. How will all those millions of people eat, then? That will lead to a conflict between Social Market-ists (gov't imposed wealth redistribution) and Free Market-ists (no gov't imposed wealth redistribution). First, the Luddite Fallacy. It WAS valid UNTIL machines could do most human mental functions better than humans. Some experts are already saying this, but generally it seems like the American Society and its leaders are proceeding in utter ignorance. You probably know about all the technologies that now exist or will soon be up & running, & which will massively reduce the need for human labor in the economy, thus MAKING MOST HUMANS UNNECESSARY to the economy. Some facts: (1) A couple weeks ago all the toll booth workers on the Golden Gate Bridge were all dismissed because the gov't bought a machine to handle everything. (2) Computer voice recognition already exists, in programs such as Siri and Google Voice and others. But very soon these programs will be so much better. Virtually all the human-staffed customer service call centers will disappear very soon. Human office receptions will be mostly eliminated. (3) McDonald's already has a prototype version of their fast food restaurant with NO human workers on site. (4) Wal-Mart & other retailers already have plans for stores with NO human cashiers. (5) Google's driverless cars and trucks will soon eliminate most drivers of commercial trucks & taxi cabs. (6) IBM's computer "Watson" defeated the best human players on "Jeopardy" about a year ago. Watson had to hear and understand host Alex Trebeck's spoken speech just like the human contestants. IBM created Watson to replace Medical Doctors. The plan is that nurses and nurses practitioners will take data from patients (temperate, blood pressure, reports of pains, etc.), enter that into Watson, and Watson will order tests and make prescriptions and treatment plans. Unlike human doctors, Watson will KNOW EVERYTHING about medical science. Doctor errors currently kill about 100,000 patients per year in hospitals alone. Patients will DEMAND to be diagnosed by Watson (or other equivalent) & have a prescription by Watson, since studies will show that patients fare so MUCH better when Watson is their “doctor,” and the cost will be MUCH less. (7) Computers are now replacing the lawyers that formerly had to spend massive hours read through massive amounts of documents turned over to the opposing side in "discovery" in civil lawsuits. Documents now are turned over in digital form, and computers search in seconds them looking for key words and phrases. (8) Soon publishers will stop printing books on paper. Everyone will have an e-Reader device. That will be the END of every physical library and bookstore. (9) Soon computers will be able to general characters in movies that are indistinguishable from real humans. Not only actors will lose their jobs, but costume people, makeup people, scene construction people, camera operators, key grips, electricians, lighting experts, etc. (10) New machines are replacing the humans who pick vegetables in fields. (11) New machines are replacing human security guards. (12) Human airplane pilots, both in the military and in commercial service, will soon be extinct. The FAA has already approved testing of drone planes for commercial transportation of non-human cargo. (13) Most trades on Wall Street are already being made by computers. (14) The U.S. Postal Service is doomed. Paying thousands of people to drive around in little trucks to deliver little printed pieces of paper to each household each day is going to seem more and more like idiocy. (15) Most of the reviews and analysis currently being done by human accountants, actuaries, tax experts, and other financial analysts and consultants will be done must better, more more quickly, and much more accurately, by computers. (16) Web sites already are using computer programs to write the text for stories that report on sports games. The program integrates the statistics from the game into a story text that seems to have been written by a human being. (17)Most education at the college and high school level will soon be done online, eliminating a massive number of workers. Thus, GIGANTIC UNEMPLOYMENT, in the range of 70-80?is coming soon to the USA. This will result in Rio De Janeiro type slums all over the USA. That will result in calls for gov't wealth redistribution, which will result in Armed Revolution, Counter-Revolution, concentration camps, & Latin American-style death squads. The rich and ultra-rich are never going to let any government get control of their wealth. Huge bloody CONFLICT is coming. * * * Politicians keep repeating the old canard that the solution is to train and retrain Americans for the "jobs of the future." But they are either morons or are lying, since anyone who thinks about it can easily see that even if every American worker had an engineering degree or a computer science degree, the economy just doesn't need that many engineers and computer scientists. * * * * * * * Why don't more people see this? Why aren't more people talking about this? We are facing soon a catastrophe in the USA (and in other places) on par of the plagues in Europe that killed half of the population in certain areas, and on par with the depopulation in Europe brought about by WWI and WWII. Sure, you can just repeat the Luddite Fallacy, and proclaim that the economy will always create enough jobs for most people to survive. But there is no law of economics that says that any law of economics will always operate the same. Laws of economics are not like the laws of physics. Economies and life forms can and do evolve in fundamental ways that make former economic models and ways of life obsolete. I'm sure the last tribe of Neanderthals were certain that nothing was ever going to change, right before the Homo Sapiens swooped down on them, chased them into a dead end canyon were other Homo Sapiens were lying in wait with big clubs. * * * * * * * * * In the past the Luddite Fallacy was valid since machines always needed the mental acuity that only human operators could provide, and machines frequently needed maintenance by skilled human hands and minds. But now machines have mental functions that equal or surpass what humans can provide in most work functions. And computers aren't so much repaired anymore as just thrown away and replaced. How many cell phone repair shops have you ever seen? Even most laptop computers are replaced rather than repaired. More and more laptop computers never even need to be repaired for years and years. In short, when the economy has no use for most Americans, all hll is going to brake loose, & that's coming soon. * * * * 2 answers - Asked By: Perro Americano Invicto - 5/16/2013
