I am actually planning to quit christianity or give up on your God so that I can live a peaceful life But i still need some suggestion

If God really loved me why did he allow evil people to torment me?why did he not protect me?why did he allow those evil people to hurt me?

The Son of God used His life to save you from death, is it too much for you to love Him back the same way He loved you?

If someone sacrificed his life to save your life, how do you repay him? With your own life, is it not? So if you are going to repay Jesus with your life for saving yours, why do you run away from temporary suffering?
 
people did not torment me for faith ..but because they are selfish and evil

It does not matter, you are targeted because you belong to God. If you belonged to the devil evil men would treat you like a friend. You don’t belong here, you are waiting for a world with no evil, what you need to do now is to endure and keep your faith.

but i was not tormented because of my faith or God ..I was tormented because they were evil and I feared my conscience
 
but very few suggestion are satisfactory

You mentioned you’ve read the Bible twice, every single person who belonged to God suffered, some suffered worse than you. They will be honored by God because they endured suffering even till death, why are you giving up now when you will share the same honor and even have eternal life if you endure and keep praying to God to strengthen you?

because why does not God punish such evil people?

And if you give up on God, how will that protect you from them? If you give up on God, you will lose eternal life along with every loss you have now.

those people are all long gone from my life but they have destroyed my life ...
 
because why does not God punish such evil people?

Because God has already set a time to punish them, it has not yet come but will come soon. Your suffering is a test, how can a test be easy? If you endure and pass the test, then you will be rewarded.
 
those people are all long gone from my life but they have destroyed my life ...

My life has also been destroyed. I have mental illness even but I still hope in God. Not all whose lives are destroyed give up on God, those who endure will be saved. Do you not want to be saved? If yes, then endure the test, it is only temporary.
 
You can read my story on how much I suffered and why I still believe in God:

Read my story I linked above and feel free to inbox me. I will reply as soon as I can. It’s 3am here so I’m going to bed for now. I’m praying for you dear child of God.
 
Sometimes just enjoying yourself and having fun is quite practical.

Maybe if you treated yourself to something you like and is sensible then you would not spend time being upset with Jesus.

Maybe then you would pray again and it would be different.

Just an idea but I know it works well.
 
If God really loved me why did he allow evil people to torment me?why did he not protect me?why did he allow those evil people to hurt me?

First off, you clearly do not understand what the Bible you allegedly read twice teaches about God and his relationship with humanity. So hear this one quote (one of many passages that speak to this issue) Jesus tells us "In the world you WILL HAVE tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world"

Secondly, God's promise that you would be saved has absolutely NOTHING (zero, zilch) to do with what may happen in your moment by moment life here but rather speaks to the overall condition of the soul/spirit as to where, because of that condition, it will spend eternally (for we all continue existence after separation of the spirit person from the body...those who are with God will experience the ever NOW in His presence and receive what He would provide, and those who want nothing to do with Him who want their own way and are lord of their own life here will be lord of their own kingdom void of His presence and all that He would have provided).

The second option of eternal separation from God is your choice! There you will be in a place where there is no order to calm the fires of chaos, no light, no fellowship with another, and so on, because all of these things were/are of Him;.

So now let me say that God does not interfere or intervene in each and every moment by moment situation like some grand puppet master because of what he ALREADY established....God gave humanity DOMINION over all that is on the earth (He is not going to violate His own will or be fickle as to His own promise). On occasion where it was necessary to the accomplishment of some aspect of His willful plan He has and will do so, but for the most part we direct and choose and are subject to the direction and choices of one another. So not knowing the details of the circumstance you are complaining about I must ask you consider if choices of your own placed you in a situation where that could happen or IF choices others made in their own will have been the cause of this problem?

Finally (for now) I surmise you already are NOT a child of God and already ARE an agnostic (or atheist) for a couple of reasons you have revealed but let me say this, just as you CANNOT choose to cease being the biological offspring of your biological parents, IF you are actually a child of God (born of His Spirit - Romans 8:9...please read it) you cannot "decide" to cease being His child...it is not possible and that is why John says "If they go out from us they were never one of us."

Every single person used as an example for us in the Bible has gone through pain and suffering and sometimes severe trials (that is the fault of humanity and one's desire to rule over others or ignorance of the effect of their choices) but those whom God has then used always have learned something valuable from it by which later they are a help to others. Take Joseph as one example and imagine of this were you....his own family beat him mercilessly and dug a pit and threw him in it and spat on him (and the Lord knows what else)...they left him for dead...they sold him into arduous slavery...and then he was sold again (and you KNOW how slaves are treated) and then he is placed in servitude, used and abused and eventually thrown into a smelly, rat ridden, dangerous prison (and you KNOW the way such ancient prisons treated prisoners) but He never thought for a minute that this God (who he knew and loved) was at fault or now decided on his won to reject God or blame God or decided He whom he knew was a myth and he would go to a different god....that was not even possible because Joseph KNEW this God was real and there and loved him despite all that other humans had done to him....

God did not intervene and stop this but in the end God used all this to bring about the completion of one aspect of His greater plan. So if you think you will just leave or change gods (you probably are already lord of your own life anyway) or that the one and only God is a myth then please just admit to yourself He really is not your daddy (ABBA) and move on. If you choose to seek Him even amidst your tribulation then fine do that, but cease faltering between YHVH and Self or YHVH and other gods...it is His will that you be with Him but He will not force you...the choice is yours.
 
All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purposes. Rom 8:28
Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37

I have endured so much evil in this life. I have 3 unsolved violent attempted murder cases open, many betrayals, many thefts, pcs hacked and wrecked, phone hacked, neighbors paid off, cutting vicious slander, people turned against me with/for lies & money. I have been used, abandoned, abused, stalked, raped, stolen from, disregarded, denied employment, etc., etc., etc.

I have also witnessed God deliver me from a wicked rich man who tried many times, many ways, and with many people to kill me.
Severe stuff I am not going to post.

When someone did/does evil to me Jesus takes me in His Word (Holy Bible) to the accounts of His crucifixion and He shows me what He's done for me.

Look at things from that view: What they did TO you is nothing compared to what Jesus has done FOR you.
No one escapes God's judgement. Fear God & obey His Word. Go before His throne and tell Him you're willing to forgive them but you can't do it on your own & ask for His help. God will heal your heart and enable you to forgive them. Do not stay angry, do not stay in unforgiveness or He will turn you over to the tormentors. Love your enemies and do good to those who hate you. Be faithful to God and pray for them. Ask God to make them into new people. Do not wish evil on them, obey God.

Also remember that all who stir up strife with us fall because of us. God is merciful but He is also just. He will allow certain things but there is a point when He will strike. So get your mind on what Jesus has done for you, set your mind on things above not things of this earth, be honest and open with God and seek peace in Jesus. Trust God with all of your heart and do not depend on your own understanding. Know that God is with you and for you, but if you deny Him He will deny you.

Look what Jesus endured. Paul, David, Joseph, Job, Daniel, etc.

I have seen God's hand turn against someone who did me grievous evil. God permitted it for a time/season but has broken him and will soon remove him from among us. In fact, God is entering into judgement with 4 who have been so, so very evil to me. They cannot escape. Judgement comes after death.
Let no one, let nothing, separate you from God. You have too much to lose. Trust God, He will make all things right. Let Him heal you and help you.

Don't judge the judge. Trust God and keep going.

Never forget:
What God has done FOR you is greater than what they did TO you.
Repent and return to the Lord.

Jesus Christ is worth it.

I have talked to this brother in PM, I believe your judgment of him is a tad harsh. How many of us today are taught that we will suffer losses as children of God? Neither the organized religion nor the society teaches that we will have tribulation, only the Gospel does.

He is from India, and most people in Asia value societal achievements highly. He faces different things that made him question God: first, why are evil people advancing in society while he isn't (he said he lost a job opportunity at Silicon Valley), second, why isn't God punishing those who ruined his life.

He has not understood why God allowed people to suffer and there have been verses quoted here that would tell him that. He hasn't turned away completely from God, but he is going through a period of doubt just like Job did when he lost everything. Let's not be like Job's friend in putting him down and discouraging him further.
