WHY DOES GOD APPEAR SO MEAN?
TruthInConviction ^ | Dec 31 | J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Posted on 12/31/2009 4:16:58 PM PST by freedomyes

“Grant, I wonder if you are a football fan? Just because, if so, I hope you're demanding to the team ownership that the whole team should be put to death immediately. After all, a literal reading of the Bible does tell us that anyone who works on Sunday should be killed, right? And you've apparently linked belief in Christ with blindly following everything in the Bible.”

You can fight to stop this onslaught of our children...

Always.

...but the forces that be politically and otherwise will not lay down their weapons any time soon...

Nor will I. And mine are infinitely better than anything they could possibly bring to bear.

Amen....the battle continues and anyone who thinks it is not one has much to learn what is at stake....

I often wonder if our country isn’t as much under the judgement of God now for allowing the butchering of our children and the slide, (no free-fall says better), away from His principles.
In fact this nation’s people have more than turned from God but have slapped His face on the way out the door!

The number of aborted children out weighs the Holocaust now.
I realize God is longsuffering of our ways, but I do believe his limits have been reached.

I have no problem with Christianity. All my problems are with the secular left. The existence of these vermin makes a godless life unbearable.

An innocent child losing their life is a cost to them which outweighs the things you wrote of.

What cost? The horrible tragedy of not living here on earth? THIS life is not the point. THIS life pales in comparison to a Heavenly life. Kinda like skipping your vegetables and going straight to dessert.

You dehumanize the baby and the baby’s right to life in order to render its death more palatable to yourself.

Sorry, you're wrong. I agree that babies have a right to life and it is our job to protect and defend that life. God, however, may have different priorities. He knows what is waiting for us. IF heaven is better than earth, and the consensus seems to accept that, then why is it cruel for God to take a child from here when he will certainly be heaven-bound and in a better state? Is it really so important that a being stub his toe, fall in love, get fired from work, get married?

I'd take eternal peace and the absence of pain over all of that. Wouldn't you?

Why do you attribute so little worth to life on Earth?

There is tremendous joy to be had here, and no good person (least of all a completely innocent baby) should ever be robbed of that.
