What makes God wonderful?

Seriously though, there is only only one truth concerning the existence of God. Either he is real, or he isn't. I like insurance, and I will be obedient, and continue to learn about God. If there are those that want to follow him, I will always point them in the direction to the best of my abilities. My wife is currently on assignment in Nigeria she's a Civil Engineer, and a week ago she became very sick (this of course happened just as she is about to come home in a few weeks from now), and I didn't know if she would have made it. She contracted malaria, and I cried, and didn't sleep for 2 days, because I knew that there was a good chance that you can die from it. So I prayed to God, and she came out of it while in the hospital. I believe that God is wonderful, and he was kind to us, and he has given us a little more time to be together before we inevitably die. It can happen at any time, but we were given an amazing gift from my perspective and hers.
Nicely said. Glad your wife is well.

I believe in believing in (God), because it is comforting, appears practical (whilst not abandoning common sense), and the Transcendent may be real. If nothing else, in death, finally, only one side will know it was right. 😉

The bible speaks of generational curses. These curses could have been in place several generations ago. Perhaps the baby that dies of cancer was from a line of evil people that practiced evil things. Yes I mean people practicing witch craft for their own personal gain, and the baby was meant to pay for those sins as they are, and were yolked to the curse before they were ever born. Perhaps it wasn't a curse at all, and just a medical condition, and that child was never meant for this world. Like I said bad things happen to good people.

"This kid's family has historically been a bunch of jerk's, so I'm going to make it suffer terribly for its brief existence. This punishment is on top of its family having already gone to Hell for their deeds."

What about that doesn't sound like a ********** to you, lol?

There are laws that have to be upheld even in the spiritual world. Prices that must be payed for things sowed. Yolks can be broken concerning generational curses and spiritual bindings, but in order for that to happen the person or people cursed must submit themselves to the Lord (God, Jesus) according to the bible. I believe that any ailment that is not physical (whether that ailment be physical, or psychological) is spiritual (my choice what a wonderful concept).

A Witch of several generations past can pledge another persons soul in order to gain power in this world. Since many of these people are already bound to go to hell they have nothing to barter with, and thus they sacrifice another person whether that person be alive in the here and now, or are to be born in several generations to come. Can anything be done to stop an unborn soul from being bound or cursed? Yes there is. When I say cursed I am referring to anything that is not considered to be fully healthy in body or mind. Of course this could just be a physical condition, and not a curse at all, but I do believe like I said that there are those that were born into curses.

I won't get into a witty banter contest with you, I'm just going on what I have been taught from books that I have read on the subject, and that agree with the bible.

I don't believe that. God is forever unknown. However, any god that is a he is man-made.

You're looking for something, that I am unwilling to cater to. Do I believe that Christ is the Avatar of the one true God? YES. Christ is my best friend. You know why? Because he showed me the greatest love of all. He was willing to be mauled, and crushed for me. Can anyone in the history of the world say or do more? Perhaps... Perhaps not. I'll say no more about it other than God is Wonderful.

Thank you Brother.

Where do you get the idea that I am looking for something? This is a forum, and people give their opinions. Also, I’ve never asked anything of you, and I’m not bothered if you are unwilling to cater to something you imagined.

I don’t recall asking this question.

I assume you are talking about Jesus. He died over 2000 years ago. I truly believe that your friendship with this figure is only in your imagination. However, I’m okay with that. We all have our delusions to deal with.

This belief of yours is based on the story of Adam and Eve. After all, that is where the first sin came from. Unfortunately, the story of Adam and Eve is fiction. This is how I believe. I am in no way asking you to change anything about how you believe.

So if you don't believe in God, and it's all fiction why in the world are you hanging around topics that have anything to do with God? Actually it doesn't matter, because I don't care.

Who said I don’t believe in God? I just don’t believe in your god.

Do you often ask questions and not care about the answers?

That you believe that is fine.

I just have to ask what you think of a God who places responsibility on people who had nothing to do with crimes long since passed. Said responsibility taking the form of a painful, agonizing death. In what way does that not sound like the actions of a douche to you?

That he can't see that makes it a pointless endeavor to talk to him though. He essentially took the blame off God for not helping infants with painful, terminal, illnesses with "they probably deserved it" because their great great great great great great grandad did something that didn't please God.

Calm down.

F*ck that shit. Damborgson--calm up.

And party down.

Lol...you two are inspiring.

There's a bigger concern with Christianity than merely dying which no one seems willing to mention.

Damborgson, if this unspoken topic is your concern, the following might be of use and genuine comfort to you:

If it weren't for God, there wouldn't even be movies or comics. I thank him for that.

Wouldn't the god of the bible be against most movies coming out of Hollywood these days?

Hey, every God's gotta have a few contradictions in his Creation, don't he?

Bacon! Bacon makes god wonderful.
