But God created your mom.
I disagree deeply, once science and all religion find common ground we can move forward. Till then people will cling to confused notions.
Then who else make the cake if not by you?
The blue fairy made you. That is proof that the blue fairy is real.
Practically all the Christians I know have the same attitude that I do. The problem is the word Christian. There are many groups that call themselves Christians and have sadly done things in the name of Christianity that Jesus would have never condoned. But, people will point fingers and say look what those Christians did! They broad brush everyone who says they are a Christian. Personally, I try to hold to this commandment of Jesus:. . . . . . . . "and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself, no other commandment is greater than these."
Its easier said than done for sure because there are some people that are very hard to love!
Conclusion: uncung is pulling our chains. He must be.
Yes I agree, very good! For me, having a personal relationship with the Almighty Creator is an incredible experience! Does that mean trouble doesnt come my way? Of course not. Jesus said that we will have trouble in this life. But its the peace that He gives during these trials that help us get through them, but also, knowing He is in full control so I dont have to worry about anything! It is so awesome because no matter what I go through, I know it is for a reason and hopefully that reason is to help someone else going through the same thing. When I was diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago, I said, okay Lord, you allowed it, what are you going to do through it? To this day I dont know fully all that He did but in the process He cured me which was an incredible testimony to His power! I suppose one day if He chooses to reveal it to me, I'll know why and who was affected in a positive way through my trial of cancer. I look at it this way, if God can create the universe, this planet and all life on this planet in 6 days the way He said he did? Surely anything I go through is not too big for Him to handle!the problem, as you mention, is the word 'Christian.' "Christian" is a category label, it means only that the person claiming to be a Christian puts the teachings of Jesus Christ at the center of his religious belief system. It is not a declaration of salvation. I think it would be better for everybody to worry about whether he or she is Christ's, rather than who is "Christian."

Well first of all we are all going to die. Even though I was cured, I'm still going to die. He just isnt finished with me yet. How we die and when, we never know. I dont know. My father fought a rare cancer for 16 years. Through that process he accepted Jesus as his savior and I know that I will see him again one day in heaven, he was 57. My mother died of lung cancer and never smoked, she was 93. I dont know why things happen the way they do. What I do know, is this life isnt all there is and if you ask Jesus to come into your life, ask Him to forgive you of your sins and believe by faith that He is God you will be forgiven. Like the thief on the cross, he didnt say any special prayer, but he recognized who Jesus was and Jesus knew this mans heart and this man was sorry for what he did and Jesus said what? Today you will be with me in paradise. You know, another thing to keep in mind, if you happen to read the book of Job in the bible, you can see that Jobs suffering had nothing to do with him being a bad guy. Satan was striking him and his family with with horrible things! You can actually read the conversations between God and Satan concerning this man Job. I believe Satan hates God, and he hates Gods creation which is us. In the book of John chapter 10 verse 10 it says The thief (Satan) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Lets put the blame where it belongs. Satan is the bad guy in this world and will do ANYTHING to keep you from God. Your questions above sound like you are very bitter for the loss of your loved ones or friends or anyone for that matter. I didnt like loosing my father and mother to this terrible disease! Didnt like loosing friends because of drunk drivers! Satan is the prince of this world, he doesnt care about you or anyone for that matter. He just wants you to die with out Christ so you will end up where he is going. Because he knows his fate, and because he hates human beings, he wants to take everyone he can in any way he can to hell with him. Sorry, but thats the truth. God has done an incredible thing because He loves us so much! Jesus came and died and was raised on the third day showing He has the power over death. Meaning, yes we may die but God has given us an incredible offer. The question is, do you humble yourself and accept His offer of eternal life in heaven or do you not accept and choose not to be in heaven when you die? I dont know, thats up to each individual. But He has made the way for you to be in heaven when you die if that is something you want. If being in hell for all eternity is what you want, He will allow you to go there, but its your choice. Personally, I dont know why anyone would want that. Eternity is a long time!My wife's mother died of cancer. Did God not love her enough? Why did God choose to heal your cancer, while allowing over a half a million others to die from cancer each year?
How does God choose which people he cures and which people he lets die?
Also, when it comes to God healing cancer, why does God heal about 99% of those with prostate cancer, but only about 3% of those with gallbladder cancer?
I dont know why things happen the way they do.
And you are certainly entitled to your opinion. My parents were not healed, they didnt think it was preposterous or insulting, they were happy that they were going to be healed with aYou're right, you don't. And that's why your claim of being healed by God is both preposterous, and insulting to those who weren't healed. IMO, of course.
Are you saying to avoid Hell one must be a Christian?For the people alive on Earth at the soon coming ' time of separation ' - Matthew 25:31-33,37 - they can avoid biblical hell (grave) because they can remain alive on Earth, and continue to live on Earth, right into the start of Jesus' coming 1,000-year governmental rulership over Earth when even ' enemy death ' will be No more - 1 Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8
They will come out of the great tribulation of Revelation 7:14 into Day One of Jesus' millennium-long day of reigning down blessings upon Earth.
Earth's nations will be healed - Revelation 22:2 - because mankind will see the return of the Genesis ' tree of life ' on Earth for the healing of earth's nations.
That will be in fulfillment of God's promise to father Abraham that ALL families and ALL nations will be blessed - Genesis 12:3; Genesis 22:18 - blessed with healing.
I don't think being a Christian has anything to do with it. At least not from a biblical standpoint.Are you saying to avoid Hell one must be a Christian?

It does come off as insulting when people use medical ailments they recovered from as an argument for the proof of their faith, as if God has saved them for some special mission but let the others die because there wasn't anything else left for them to do with their lives. My mom died of pancreatic cancer in January. She had hopes and dreams. She had a lot of things she wanted to do with her life. She believed in God all her life, too. But she still died. I suffer from severe, debilitating depression and anxiety that functionally cripples me. I probably have Avoidant Personality Disorder. God hasn't cured me of that, and I'm awfully close to suicide lately.And you are certainly entitled to your opinion. My parents were not healed, they didnt think it was preposterous or insulting, they were happy that they were going to be healed with a
new body in heaven! Never to be susceptible to disease or pain ever again! There are people in our church who have died of cancer and some who have been healed. They accept that. The point is, we are all going to die, period. Where are you going to go after that, because that is going to be forever! That is more important to think about.
You cannot know this for certain. You believe it but many other faiths believe very differently, such as mine as in my path, we reincarnate, something which has an argument for the concept in your Bible. So all your rhetoric really means nothing to anyone who is not a part of your faith and only comes across as preaching.The question that brought me here,
Can good people go to hell?
Although we are not supposed to judge anyone, I can safely say that there will be many 'good people' in hell. Considering yourself good enough is dangerous. It is not our goodness that will get us anywhere eternally. If you do not have a loving relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I would encourage you to do all the research you can to find out what you need to know about what happens after you die! Once you take your last breath, (which are all a gift from God to begin with) you will have already made the decision as to where you will be spending Eternity. You have to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior BEFORE you leave this earth. Once you have settled that in your heart, your good works will pour out of you automatically with the help of the Holy Spirit that will work within you to prepare you for God's Holy Kingdom!

Thank you for being honest. It is in the written record of scripture that Jesus heal the sick, people who had leprosy, a horrible disease, He healed those who were crippled all their life. A woman who was bleeding for 12 years was healed just by touching His garment (because she had great faith in who He was) and this happened right in front of crowds of people but most importantly, a JewishIt does come off as insulting when people use medical ailments they recovered from as an argument for the proof of their faith, as if God has saved them for some special mission but let the others die because there wasn't anything else left for them to do with their lives.

The truth is that who dies of whatever has nothing to do with God. He doesn't play favorites and He doesn't micromanage reality. **** happens and it doesn't always make sense. But people want to have answers for everything, so we come up with reasons that are acceptable to us. That's fine, it's part of human nature. I believe in God/a Supreme Being, too. I don't always like Him and I sure don't claim to understand Him.
