Dear MJB (I like that for some reason), I wish you would feel free to
say anything here anytime you wanted, especially if it is another position taken by scripture that your mind logically rejects for some reason or other. Of every word of the Bible I first rejected, it was those very words which were lived out in my life, or proven to me one way or another to be true. It is all God revealed anyway.
I didn't answer you the other day for reasons that became obvious to you. I thank you for suggesting the visit to Meta, and perhaps the Lord would enjoy visiting the Poets thread also. What you don't understand is that He does not manifest in a spookey way, He doesn't have us channel Him as the enemy does to impress the stupid and gullible, and He can no longer send
angels as the experience would probably have us locked up
in mental wards before it was over, dealing with the disbelief in this world. So the only way He can go or do anything is through those
who love Him. It's hard for Him to do that when we're all watching TV, shopping, thinking of ways to make money in penny stocks,
you know what I mean? But more and more a lot of people are
coming out of the coma and perhaps it will change things, who knows.
Would you consider opening a Bible and reading Deuteronomy Chapter 28? I believe it may answer many of the questions of why bad things happen, and why it is unfair to blame this on God.
He has well warned us that we have our own free will to destroy ourselves, and also turn our children over to destruction by so doing, but He will not barge in to change things. Why, I don't know. But I know that each and every time I have PRAYED for Him to barge into someone else's bad situation and change it, that in fact He has done just that. Almost every single time, and most certainly for things that were purely divine miracle events. And I lie not about this matter.
As a matter of fact I promise you that I speak with straight tongue, not forked tongue of the white man.......... :) (please forgive me for being silly, it's been a tough week.) |
