Do you have access to a Bible? These issues are addressed in many places in the Bible. Gods timing, IMHO, is never wrong. Every time something tragic has happened in MY life, later there was a bigger blessing tied to that tragedy. And I believe that I see these blessings because I am familiar with His word. The Bible. Reading the Bible is tough. Makes no sense, so if you are inclined, even with your feelings, join a study. It really helps bring things to light. You can gather everyones opinions together and see which one fit you best, and they are all probably part of what God was getting at in the first place.

I do!!! And here is one thing I have always thought:


If I live my life beleiving in God and using the Bible as a guide, and try to keep His rules ( be nice to people, be a moral person, be humble ect) and I die and there is no God or heaven or hell, what have I lost? I done the best I could to people according to the Bible and more than likely, I helped people.
However, if I live life with no regard for God or heaven or hell and I die and there IS a God and a heaven and hell, then the results are much much different!!!
I'm not pushing my God on anyone, just how I look at it!!!!

I believe in one GOD our Father
and his son Jesus Christ.

Romans Chapter 1 verse 18-21

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

God is Love
He wants his children to be pure and righteous and not do and think evil things. In the end he will give us eternal life and all the good things we desire. Who wouldn't want that???
Accept=faith=works=heaven

Peace and Love to all !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not an openly religeous person, I certainly don't preach to anyone or push my views on them, but I believe in god. I also believe that when we are born that we have a preplanned destiny. We are here for a purpose designated by the man/woman upstairs.

As far as how we look at his decisions, it does not seem fair, especially when you see children suffering. It is very easy to question god's motives and why he would do the things he does. BUT, If you believe in god, then you surely believe in the devil, who may or may not be responsible for alot of the hurt and suffering we see each day and blame god for.

I do believe in heaven or hell. I DO NOT believe god judges you for the color of your skin, your sexual preference....etc etc....BUT I can assure you that people like Charles Manson, Jefferey Dahmer and people of that nature, will not be passing thru those pearly gates.

I understand where you are coming from and I will certainly have a list a mile long to ask god about when I meet him someday.

Rocketdog, if you would like to PM me, I would be more than happy to engage in a discussion with you about MY beliefs. Not to recruit you for door to door service either.
