Satan was a mistake
Hitler was a mistake
Adam and Eve were huge mistakes
This planet was a mistake
Hades is a mistake
I'm a mistake

The only way those weren't mistakes is if he knew and thought it would be fun.

All those you mentioned did things on their own will. God never forced them to do anything. They sinned based on their own choices.

It's not a mistake to love, and that's all He was trying to do. Love isn't really love if a person is forced to love you back, so He made creatures who could choose not to accept His love. Given that that's what his pupose was, the only mistake was made by His creatures.

The planet would not look like a mistake if not for Adam and Eve. Hades would not be there if not for Satan. And you have not yet chosen whether to accept His love or not, so you have not made a mistake. Would you care to discuss why you think you are a mistake?

God made Lucifer who was stunning angel. For millenniums Lucifer loved God and served Him. God loved Him as He did the other Angels and valued that relationship for the time it happened.

Hitler had the same chance as any other human being to accept Gods love and grace, have all his sins wiped clean (yes, Jesus did a COMPLETED work on the cross) but chose not to. But Gods salvation was there for him..thats how loving God is.

Adam and Eve had an amazing relationship with God and even though they fell into sin God used it to show His amazing love for us by dying on the cross....wow!!

God made this planet so full of life and wonder for us to enjoy because He loves us and wanted us to experience an awesome life here.... unfortunately due to sin its being destroyed.

Hades serves its purpose and will do so especially in the future. Out of Gods perfect love and His holiness He wants His people free from things of the enemy and those who chose to follow in those ways.

No person is a mistake, we are fearfully and wonderfully made. It is only by the will of God does any baby get created...look at all those people who try for years and nothing happens?

I think from your post your missing one big ingredient....Gods nature....Love. And so I guess from your perspective in life it is also missing in you.

Regardless of what you think of God...He still loves you.

I'm a mistake because he knew I would turn out like this and made me anyway without consint
Adam and Eve were mistakes because he knew what they would do and did nothing to stop them
Hades was a mistake because he made it not only for satan and the other morons to rot but for people who do nothing other than not want the love of someone who stuck them on this planet when there were millions of other options for him
Satan was a mistake because he made him knowing he would cause his other two mistakes to become mistakes.

All of those things you said were mistakes
He made them, they didn't do what they want, they needed to be terminated, they were mistakes.

Dekote, what do you mean turn out 'like this'? You compared yourself to Hitler, surely you didn't mean that. Why is it so bad that God made you? You are depressed, I understand that, but that doesn't mean you are a mistake.

Your bio says you are not a Christian. It is not surprising that you are hearing things in your head, and think they are correct. God says what we are telling you God says, not what you say. What God says is that you are not a mistake, He loves you, and the only reason you are confused is because you are thinking about things your way and not His way.

Give Him a chance to prove it. Challenge Him. Call out to air if you have to, like "God, these people are all telling me I'm wrong, but I still think I'm a mistake. Show me who's right." My wife was ready to kill herself when she tried it at age 23. He showed up, talked to her personally for six months, and gave her a completely new life. We were married for 31 years, and when she died, she went straight to heaven.

Actually it's unsure but I don't know how to change it.

And I already asked, the only thing I got was a dool proof way to end this pointless game and nothing else.

He doesn't care.

If you as a human who isn't perfect build something, it is yours. Say you were powerful enough you could give what you build the ability to look you in the eye and say "you made a mistake".

God created us and our world. He even set up how it was to operate down to the smallest detail and then wrote a book telling us the operating principles. He told us He loves us, wants us to have a world filled with what God calls milk and honey, but told us that to get it we have to follow the operating instructions. That is the facts of how it is, how we were created, and how it all works. Nothing you or I can do to recreate it so it is done to our specifications.

Frankly, the more I learn about this entire set up and the one who created me the more I am in awe and thankfulness for the love that is behind it. And for icing on the cake, the Creator set up a method for living forever and promised an existence even better than is possible for us in this one.

As in I having no reason to live other than for the sake of living. I knew the whole thing was pointless since I was born and the only thing that kept my mind off it was TV, now I have no reason and the thought of being immortal sound worse that a death sentince if I'll still have free thought.

My purpose is obsolete by the creators intentions. I'm a mistake.

If they don't want to stay as created because I made a mistake then I'll change the desgine to the way they see fit while still serving the function they were made to. If they don't want that function then I'll program them to want it so the mistake doesn't pertain to that.

I'm telling him he made a mistake by not designing me with the love he wants me to show him.

My purpose is obsolete and there for I am a mistake.

Of course you have no other reason to live, you don't have His reason to live yet. Isn't that what you are really asking us for? We can't tell you what that is; He has to do that. But I know that if you kill yourself, it will make Him cry, because then He will have one less person to show his love to.

Lord, I pray that you reveal yourself to Dekote tonight, like you did for my wife Anna, when she prayed. Be your powerful self, Lord, and show her your power in her life, so not only she, but everyone who ever knows her, will know that she is not a mistake.

Hunny :( I don't really know you. But you are indeed LOVED by God. You are HIS child. You are not a mistake. But this really breaks my heart that you are calling yourself a mistake. I will pray that God intervenes and somehow shows you his LOVE for YOU in a special way soon. You are special to HIM. Sometimes, I wonder the same things about why God would create someone he knew would doubt him so much. :/

If He made you do it the way He wanted, you would be a robot, not a person. The function He made you for is to know His love, and then to share His love with others. Don't worry about you loving Him, let Him love you. Then your purpose will not longer be obsolete. You can take that love and change the world with it, like no one else who was ever born.

Agree with what everyone said. Man made the mistakes, and not God.

Jesus taught us that God is like a father whose children have made mistakes. His children have taken Him for granted and even gone far away from Him. Nevertheless, God is very patient and is waiting and waiting for his children to realize their mistakes and return to him. Once they return, God is willing to give them His best.

I would encourage you to accept God as a loving father and experience God's best. Believe it because Jesus said it. Never mind what happened to Hitler & the rest. Approach God one on one and you will realize how much He loves you, and that you are not a mistake. He has written your name on the palms of his hands.

The world is messed up, but experiencing the love of God will change your perspective.

How is this to be answered? We again share the knowledge that we will die.

If God is indeed that, how can He not be perfect in all His ways?

God makes no mistakes if we think we He has we are the ones mistaken. Our knowledge is not like his so we do not see things his way until he reveals the truth to us or we move in faith. Read the book of Job he thought things were one way but in the end he knew God was right.

Habakkuk 2:1 I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart,
And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected


Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
Isaiah 40:28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom
Numbers 23:19 19 God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
