Answer #3

Let me just say “WELL done you just conformed to Satan! That is exactly what he intended for you to do and you did it” God sees all but lets us decide which paths to take in life. Let me share this with you. I too lost my my first baby who was full term (9 months) I just could not understand why? She was perfect in every way, a good healthy weight 6bls 6oz she was on time, the medical team could not fatham at first why she had died a week before labour, the after birth was in a near perfect condition but when they opened up the chord there inside was a huge blood clot that had lodged its way in her life line starving her of oxygenated blood! My baby suffacated before she even took her first breath! The doctors was shocked and said “If I was not pregnant at that time, the blood clot would have certainly travelled to my heart or brain and killed me out right, my baby girl saved my life.

My Mother in law was a God fearing catholic, she was as good as any other Christian but sadly she died of a tumour on her brain, but she started off with a lump in her breast, after a masectamy, she developed cancer in her lynph nodes under her arm then eventually in the brain. Is that Gods fault? No God didn’t tell her to smoke 40 fags a day and take drugs, she made that choice and the outcome of her choice was unfortunatly cancer and death.

Jesus who committed no sin at all died a terrible death, why? Because God loves us so much he gave us his son, and he was sacrificed by sons of men so we could be saved,and we turn our backs on him when Satan enters our lives devouring us and turning us against our Father God. Could you willing watch your sons life drain away to save someone else? Even though you have the power to stop it at any moment. I now have four children and three grandchildren I would find it very difficult to sacrifice any of them to save the world.

God Bless, I’m praying for you. Your are allowed to grieve and it does take time but its times like these you need to cling to God not push him away

Answer #4

life’s a test

if you want to go to heaven…your going to have to work EXTREMELY hard to get to heaven…that’s what life on earth is about..not just living but overcoming…

OH yeah and satan always whispering in your ears…remmeber when satan didnt bow down to Adam and God told satan to leave(heaven) then satan said that hes going to take as much humans to hell as he can…HOW EVIL…but yeah thats the DEVIL for u…=P

Answer #5

Yes, steal, kill, destroy, ofcourse God controls everything, except what people of faith dont want God to control… isn’t that convenient? If they dont like it either Satan did it (although you know God controls EVERYTHING) or well it was God’s will and who are you to question it, or there is a reason you dont know…

Im sorry, it is so easy to convince people of some mysterious being out there who you must just trust in. I mean there has got to be a reason life just sucks for some people, and then they die… You know to go into a heaven we don’t really know exists…

I believe in God, but I get where you’re coming from… there is no proof, and it comes down to faith. If you dont believe, then you dont believe, dont feel bad about it… (notice how non believers dont really care whether you believe or not? they kinda accept it, kinda like what most religions teach…acceptance, but “religious” people seem to miss this part of it?)

Either way, I get where your crisis of faith comes from… I am sorry about the things that have happened to you and the way you feel… But it also seems like you’re looking for an answer to why things happen, and I dont think anyone has an answer to that, not the religious people, and not the non believers… Not a real answer anyways…

Sometimes things just happen, and I dont think they prove either way the existance of God… You just have to decide what you believe in and what you dont… You have to figure out whether you can reconcile the notion of God with the notion that bad things will happen in the presence of God… or maybe you cant… and if you can’t well then you cant… dont let anyone make you think you’re the lesser person for your beliefs…

Answer #6

Satans purpose: Steal, Kill, and Destroy… He won’t stop at any costs… Don’t give him what he wants… Don’t let him push you around…

I’m very sorry about everything… Everything will be okay… I know it doesn’t seem like it will… but just believe it will.

Answer #7

We all face the same things when we go thru troubling times, for some, it does indeed draw them closer to God, however, for others, they go the other way. I am sorry that in your case it was away. I hope that some time you choose to come back to the faith. As for me, I have faced some very hard stuff, but, I leaned on the Lord, even harder. I had done extensive reading in the word, before the trials hit, and that helped me tremendously. Without that, I may have fallen away too. I wish you the best, and you know that God loves you, no matter where you are or what you are doing. And his forgiveness waits for you.

Blessings…

Answer #8

Satan is always testing our faith to see if he can turn us away from God. And he’s darn good at it too. He knows what he is doing. I used to ask why some people never go to church, are evil and have everyhing, when others go to church and have nothing. The answer was simple. The devil leaves people alone that he knows he already has. If he has to test you, there’s still a smidgen of hope that you will stay with God. Good luck sweetie.

Answer #9

youre right they should bring you closer to God, its a test of your faith and unfortunately, the devil prevailed in this case.

Answer #10

Don’t feel bad for questioning God, and don’t let others judge you or criticize you for it. Some of the most notable people in the Bible became very angry with God over situations in their lives, and went through great personal struggle that caused them to challenge God. I can’t give you any answers on why these things happen, but I can tell you that if you seek the counsel and friendship of people who are willing to listen to your concerns, you will feel a little better.
