If Jesus is so loving then why...
Sometimes things happen that we just don't understand and it makes it very hard to believe that God is loving when bad things happen.
We will attempt to answer some of the tough questions you may have.

If Jesus is so loving, why doesn't He answer my prayers?
The Bible says we don't have things because we don't ask for them, and if we do ask for them, we ask with wrong motives.
God is a loving Father who loves to give good gifts to His children.
He says if we seek Him first and His way of doing things, then all the things we ask for, we will have, if we ask with right motives.
So often, people who never acknowledge God, will get into trouble and make false promises in an attempt to manipulate God into doing something they ask Him to do. If you don't have a relationship with Him, He is not obligated to answer you.
God does answer the prayers of those who seek Him. We have to check ourselves to make sure we are doing what He says we must do to receive the answers from Him.
And, sometimes we ask for things that are really not good for us. If you look back over your life, aren't you glad for some of the times God said 'no'?

If Jesus is so loving, why won't He show Himself to prove it?
Jesus did show Himself. He came to earth to pay the ransom for us after satan deceived Adam and Eve to sin and kidnapped them, and therefore the rest of us, from God. Jesus lived a sinless life, He was beaten, killed and rose again to make a way for us to get back into a personal relationship with God.
So, people did see Him and they wrote about Him both in The Bible and in history books as well. But Jesus said blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.

If Jesus is so loving then why does He send people to hell?
Jesus loves us so much that He refuses to force you to love Him, it is a choice-your choice. He said He put before us life and death, blessings and curses. It's our choice what we will choose but He wants us to choose life.
It's this choice that will determine where we spend eternity. He does not 'send anyone to hell' it is our choice. If you choose Him, you will spend eternity with Him in Heaven. If you don't choose Him you won't.
There are only two options: Heaven or Hell. Both are very real and if you don't choose Jesus in life you will go to hell when you die.

If Jesus is so loving, why do such bad things happen to good people?
We are born into this world, the world that is under the authority of evil. People have free will and people can chose to be evil and do evil things. It is never God's will for us to suffer but since we are in this world, suffering does happen. But when suffering happens we can turn to God. He is our savior and our comforter. He loves us so much that He will be there to help us get through tough situations. He can also help us make better decisions that may help us to avoid hurtful situations if we chose to give our lives to Him and let Him lead us in where to go and what to do.
The enemy is always going to fight you, it's his job to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly.

If Jesus is so loving, why are there starving children in the world?
We live in a world that is run by evil, who is out to steal, kill and destroy. But Christians are called to be the light and love of Jesus to the world. We are supposed to be His hands and His feet and to speak His Words of love to a lost and dying world. Jesus told us to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to care for people who are unable to care for themselves.
As Christians we need to step up and help families get back on their feet, to feed the hungry and to love the unloved.
When so many people are being tricked into thinking that Jesus is not the way to God, that He is not loving, they don't turn to Him and then there are less people to fulfill the mandate He has called us to.

If Jesus is so loving, why does He make people sick?
Jesus never makes someone sick. Actually, when Jesus came into town, He healed them; deaf ears were opened, blind eyes could see, He even raised the dead. He said if we live for Him and let Him live through us we could do greater works than He did. There are many ministries out there right now who are praying for people who are getting healed of every disease you can think of, even raising the dead.
The devil is the one who makes people sick, he is the one who is trying to kill people and lie to them so they won't turn to Jesus.

If Jesus is so loving why are Christians such hypocrites?
There could be a few different reasons for this but we'll talk about the two main reasons.
1. Not everyone who says they are a Christian, really are Christians. They may have been raised in a Christian home and just figure since their family is, they are. Or they could attend a church that does not teach what it is to actually be a Christian>more of a country club type church where it's just about socializing, not changing into the image of Jesus. Or they say it to fit in with the people they hang out with, or they are trying to trick people into thinking they are a Christian to purposely cause people to turn against Christ. There are groups of people who practice witchcraft whose sole mission is to get people to turn away from God.
2. The other main reason is that when you become a Christian, you aren't made perfect instantly. I heard someone say it like this: when a baby is born they are covered in mess, they look like what they just came through but once the doctors and nurses clean them up, they are beautiful. It's the same way with accepting Jesus. You look and act like what you just came through. But as Jesus begins to clean you up you begin to look and act more and more like Him.
I'm sure you've heard the saying: Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven. Just because we are Christians doesn't mean we don't mess up but when we do we have a loving Heavenly Father who will pick us up and clean us off again. If we really desire to live for Him. He will never leave us in the mess we are in if we choose to live for Him and listen to His leading.
