(Jackie D;42101) God bless you Pildit..............instead of accusing God why don't you read Job? I have red it before, albeit a few years ago. I just skipped over it again to remind myself.That's evil, sorry but God and Satan having a bet with a mans life. Is evil.(Jackie D;42102) one other...

(Jackie D;42097) As for bad things happening to people. God allows things to happen. You want a very good example of such a process read the book of Job in the OT. Job was a righteous man and yet God still allowed for bad things to happen to him....but I'm not going to tell you the story, I'll...

(Jackie D;42021) there is a huge difference...though we may seek the same things such as modern medicine to help us in times of injury and sickness...we praise God that He created such things for us. Human beings will always fall short of the abilities of God. A doctor can apply the medicine yet...

(Jackie D;42006) In bold...that statement is so very untrue. Now I don't disagree that there are many who say these things and that these people are very cult-like in this behavior. Quite specifically it is stated the steps to being saved:Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord...

(Richard_oti;41976) While I agree with you Pildit. I think there are some things that for some of us, we are just completely unable to allow ourselves to forgive ourselves. I know for me, it was within the first hour that I believed, that sweet release came upon me... I do understand that too...

(Jackie D;41974) A person is capable of having hope in everlasting joy and still feel sorrow for the lost. In fact having that joy helps to get us through the dark days that are seen and experienced here in this cold, cruel and complicated place. However if a person feels sorrow then they are...

(Saint Gutfree;42018) Have you ever asked anyone about what was going on historically in Judea around 70 ce? Not directly no. You're welcome to share though or point me in the direction there of this information.

(Jackie D;41966) no one should ever say that too you, for they do not know your heart and are not allowed to judge a persons soul. It happens, people assume things. It's annoying after a while but oh well. you are right it doesn't make them bad people and I have a heart for all...I just can't...

(Thunder1;41970) Thunder1: How do you cope with that? Where do you draw strenght and comfort in those times? Depending on the time of course either with great difficulty or in the knowledge that there are a few people that haven't let me down and who I trust won't let me down. Sometimes a...

(Jackie D;41964) unfortunately without taking the doorway to Heaven, which is Christ...all those nice apologies, sorting it out and moving on add up to diddley in the end. There are plenty of people out there that think they deserve heaven because they try to be good people...but without belief...

(Jackie D;41898) no longer carrying around the burdens the world lays on us of how we should or should not be. Isn't that exactly what God does? I no longer have to hang my head in shame over sins of the past. This depends on a lot of things of course but eventually most people stop hanging...

(Called 2 Conquer;40955) I am sorry but this is one of the worse statements I have ever read. I didn't know my thrid grade teacher as it was still summer but I got a letter in the mail stating what I would be required to have for her class. I didn't know her, had never heard of her and at that...

(Called 2 Conquer;40954) I'm again getting this picture of, you have free will but you don't. Either you let God drive or God points a gun to your head, therefore if you don't do what he says he's going to shoot you.I suppose that's one way to look at it but here is another view. God is on one...

(Called 2 Conquer;40953) Where does he say this? I'd like to look it up.As I have stated previously, I will not do your wet work. The best way to learn something is to do the work yourself. I am sorry if you don't like this answer but please keep in mind in order to answer you I and the others...

(Called 2 Conquer;40952) God wants to save us all but in order to be saved you have to choose that path. Why doesn't He just go ahead and save us inspite of our sins against Him? He provided a way for that salvation to happen. Remember God didn't choose our seperation from Him in the first...

(Called 2 Conquer) I hope you don't mind but I am going to work with you on these one at a time so nothing gets confused or lost by too much info on different questions. Fine by me and let me apologise, I starting reading this before but just couldn't take it in very well, so I decided to leave...

(Thunder1;41847) What do you do, when people let you down or there are just too many things going wrong at the same time ? Or maybe you have not experience it. The vast majority of people in my life have let me down, all but two that I can think of right now and I just came through the worst 1-2...

(Jackie D;41756) I know and it is unfortunate that more people when they are teaching the gospel don't paint a true picture of the life of a true Christian...I wasn't thinking you were under illusion that the pain or hard time would go away...many are though. And God does take much of it away...

(Jackie D;41745) I'm not knocking anyone Pildit because many people, I believe, get it into their heads that once they come to the Lord that all things painful are just going to miraculously go poof! and disappear. But that is far from realistic and if there was anyone as a Christian who led you...

The people around me and nature sometimes, it really depends on what the dark time is all about of course.In terms of God, sometimes the realisation that when you don't believe, there's no supernatural being who can literally take the pain or hard time away can hit home, especially when you once...
