April 2, 20241 yr Just now, we_gotta_believe said: Yes, but why? Why doesn't he prevent children getting cancer? It's a very simple question with no right or wrong answer. If you say there's no right or wrong answer, what is your purpose for asking me? Are you trying to impress your atheist pals so that they don't mock you and consider you one of the "good Christians" who aren't so "dogmatic about it" as you say? Go ask your priest or read the Bible if youre curious or questioning your faith. You know that God tried to create a perfect world but humans could not live up to it as described in the story of Adam and eve. You also should know that God is interested in our life after death and suffering can take many forms.

When it comes to his policies, they are more aligned with my beliefs and opinions and that's why I'd support him over Biden. Another thing I'll say is something Ive posted before. Jesus didn't involve himself in politics: They sent some Pharisees and Herodians to him to ensnare hime in his speech.* 14 They came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion. You do not regard a person’s status but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?” 15 Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them, "Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at.” 16 They brought one to him and he said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?” They replied to him, "Caesar’s.” 17 So Jesus said to them, "Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” They were utterly amazed at him.f
April 2, 20241 yr Idolaters, blasphemers, idol worshipers. Whoever stands on the side of God come to me. For this, you shall drink bitter waters... God has set before you this day his laws of life, and good, and death, and evil... Those who will not live by the law, shall die by the law! The Maga Crowd worshiping their false idol.

Yep. I hope they make an arrest in this case. In Ardmore, a while ago, pamphlets were posted espousing White Power. They may be responsible for this incident as well.

Wow I'm impressed with how much you disagree with your own religion! God is all three. I didn't see that option in your dumbarse post. I've already explained this, so stop being stupid. Show me a single instance in the Bible where God promises no earthly pain or suffering.

Don't feed me some horsehit line about humans being fallible and unable to live up to the perfect world God created for them. Because that implies the families who have suffered through those tragedies were in some way culpable, which is an incredibly sick and disturbing thing to say. Though seeing how you've behaved for the last 8 years, that's hardly surprising to anyone.

Though seeing how you've behaved for the last 8 years, that's hardly surprising to anyone. That's not what that implies at all. That logic was popular in Jewish law pre-Jesus, but again Jesus established a new covenant with humanity based on the promise of forgiveness of sins and an afterlife. Newsflash, sometimes bad things happen to innocent people. What makes God benevolent is that despite earthly pain and suffering there is the promise of an afterlife free of those things. Seriously, it would save some time if you'd go read a Bible or talk to your priest if you have all of these questions about your own religion.

Sins and forgiveness have F all to do with innocent kids getting cancer. You just got done saying culpability isn't the reason so where do sins even come into play here? Does this make sense in your head before you type it out? Stop deflecting and answer the question. Quote Newsflash, sometimes bad things happen to innocent people.

I'm not asking IF it happens, I'm asking WHY it happens. WHY do you think innocent kids get cancer? You have been entirely unable to answer the question because you're too stupid to understand it. You pretend to know so much about the Bible yet can't even interpret it well enough to answer this simple question without telling me to "do your own research" like a flat earther. Is it the illiteracy that's the issue here? Just say so and I'll chalk it up to being raised in a state ranked dead last in IQ.

Go ask an oncologist or something, and stop acting like a child and blaming God for bad things that happen to innocent people. That's not God's promise to us and thats not the point of life. Jesus said himself that Satan is the ruler of earth until his return. Jesus also said that whoever loses their life on earth will gain it in heaven. That those who have the least on earth will be rewarded the most in heaven. Go read a Bible and stop being angry at God
