Has anyone ever thought that its Gods will that this is all happening? In the bible many people have suffered for Gods will, only to be with him in the end.
Perhaps God feels its time for her to come home? 15 years of fighting, an act of congress and the president of the united states cant put a feeding tube back into a women... perhaps God wants her to come home?
If we are faithful to Him, there is nothing to be afraid of.
I don't believe for a moment that God would have wanted the New York Yankees to lose the 2001 World Series.
The rest of 'em, yeah......but not 2001.
God.. on many occasions has used his will to "on the surface" hurt people.. but in the end it had a greater message.. Shall we start with Jesus?? Your kidding me right? Read the old testament.. its loaded with things that God did to people for his will.. good and bad alike.. its for a greater message.
heheh Mans free will on that one..
Jesus and others had choices to follow or not.
Only time you see God act bad agaisnt people is with his wrath.
Terri is not a focus of his wrath NT.
I'm an example of blind faith. A Detroit Tigers fan.
I fear for my country.
Of that, there is much to fear.
So i guess all the people that were thrown in to cages with lions and eaten alive because they were Christian were acts of his wraith? no.. God has very very strange ways of working.. you cant compare our logic with his will it will never work.
Why would you fear for your country? I certainly dont.
God allows free will, so Christians being thrown to lions had nothing to do with God. He did not cause those bad men to act upon Christians.
You are having an infatuation with predestination.
Innocent lives are destroyed for convenience sake, and when someone goes to jail for doing to a dog EXACTLY what is being done to Terry, but her husband and the courts system is hailed as being heros, I fear for my country.
"Only time you see God act bad agaisnt people is with his wrath"
Tell that to Job
God gave all men free will, however he can interject his will upon the masses whenever he wants..
God is not doing this. We are capable of such evil all by ourselves with no help.
EVERYTHING is in God's hands. It's what WE do about things is how we ALL will be judged by HIM. She is being murdered in front of our eyes and no one is PHYSICALLY stoppng it. It's almost like hearing screams of anguish from someone and just walking on. We WILL be judged.
Jesus wouldn't do that just like God wouldn't stop the Romans from killing Jesus.
It's not up to Jesus to start feeding her again. It IS up to us as men and women of FREE WILL to do as Jesus/God would HAVE us do. I DO NOT belive that Jesus would have had the feeding tube removed either.
In the end for Terry, (which I fear is very soon), Jesus will be there for her too.
That must have been the time when I was in Vegas, very early in the morning, the sole player at the blackjack table, playing 4 hands at a time.
All 4 hands demanded that I double the bet (dealt hands of 9,10,11,10 with the dealer showing a 4)
I doubled down on each hand and the rest is nothing but a fog.....all I know is that I lost all 4 hands when she dealt herself a 7 after exposing a queen in the hole.
Yes, but it isn't in His nature to go pick on a handicapped person.
He tends to smite the bad people.
