Mark, perhaps its the way in which you perceive God that is flawed. Have you ever read in the book of Revelation how the angels are ever before His throne praising Him? Seems kind of strange that Mark is down here ever questioning his authority. Do I pat you on the back for criticizing my God in the guise of sincere truthseeking? No, a thousand times NO!! Stop and ask yourself, why has God allowed you to be so blind? If after pondering this question your attitude is that of remorse then there is hope, if you say that your not blind then I believe God has already given you over. Chris

Well Mark he just couldn't stay away with his damnation holier than thou teaching of of the Roman bible. Sometimes Methinks he doth protest too much!

Mark, I think it is the way the question is asked. If someone asks me a question with a desire to learn I am not offended, but if they ask to insult or provoke it is a different story. If people are asking God with a motive to disprove and have no desire to learn or hear the answer, then the condition of their heart is the problem IMO not that God is angry. They are unteachable and bring troubles on themselves by their negative attitude. When I consider the Universe and it's magnitude I am humbled and respect God with my questions. I had a neighbor that was involved with Shirley McClain and they can at times be very casual with God as though they understand the Universe without his guidance IMO. Nancy

Hello my friend Markus hi-ho Silvers, In answer to your question, Seek and you shall find. I have questioned God before. I don't know anyone who has never(although i venture to guess that BV would say he has not.):o). I questioned The Almighty just the other day, when a friend of ours, full of Grace, died from her battle with cancer. But you know... answers came from the strangest place. My answer to that very question came from our friend herself. Before she died, she told her husband this which was revealed at her memorial service. " All physical healing on this earth, is at best... temporary" . That may not say much to you right now, but buddy, it spoke volumes to me. And it ties in perfectly with the scriptures that I posted last night. ESP. the first part of verse 11:: Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, and another verse:: Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. We sing a song called "This world is not my home" and I think of it now, we are to live our lives as strangers and pilgrims here, because we are here but a fleeting moment. This world is not my home I'm just a passing through. My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue. The angels beckon me, from heaven's open door; And I can't feel at home, in this world anymore. O Lord you know, I have no friend like You, If heaven's not my home, Then Lord what would I do? The Angels beckon me from heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home In this world anymore. They're all expecting me, And that's one thing I know, My SAVIOR pardoned me, and now I onward go; I know He'll take me thru Tho I am weak and poor, And I can't feel at home In this world anymore. O Lord you know, I have no friend like You, If heaven's not my home, Then Lord what would I do? The Angels beckon me from heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home In this world anymore. Just up in glory-land We'll live eternally, The saints on every hand are shouting VICTORY!!! Their song of sweetest praise drifts back from heaven's shore, And I can't feel at home In this world anymore. O Lord you know, I have no friend like You, If heaven's not my home, Then Lord what would I do? The Angels beckon me from heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home In this world anymore.
