The message the christian church's have been giving for eions of years has been that God is a loving God because
He gave His son to pay for mankinds sins. This is 100%
true. The thing that is so hard to understand is that if
God loved the world so much that He gave His son as payment
for mankinds sins then why can't he love the world so much
that He would end the suffering and pain for ALL His followers. SUPPOSEDLY we're supposed to be "CHILDREN" in the "FAMILY OF GOD". Let's look at this family. In this family we have some of the children who are doing quite well. They are doing well financially and they are also
doing well healthwise. On the other hand we have some of
the children who are doing well financially but they are
suffering with some very severe health problems. Every day
they are in constant pain and even their doctors can't seem
to help them. Then we have some of the children who have
good health but are suffering financially. They are barely
making ends meet. And we have the children who are hurting
both financially and physically. ALL of the above children
turn to God for answers and help. Some of them receive help and some of them don't. The pastors of their church's
tell them they have to use the word of God to get victory's
in their situations. Some of them use the word of God and
some don't. Some of them that use the word do get victory's
and some of them that use the word don't get victory's.
Some of them that don't use the word still get victor's and
some of them don't. In some of these situations there
"FAVORITISM" is being shown. In the bible it says that
God is like our earthly father. When we do something wrong
our earthly father would punish us because he loves us and
wants us to learn right from wrong. If this is true then
why can't God be like our earthly father in that our earthly father,when we were hurting, would first of all tell
us to take our medicine to stop the hurting and if for some
reason we didn't take the medicine he would do everything
within his power to stop the hurting. And what about the
old people in the nursing homes that are hurting in such an inhuman way. Their relatives want them to stop suffering
even if it means their dying. But EACH and EVERY day they
exist as nothing more then vegtables. We have children of
ALL ages suffering in many differn't ways. We have the
victims of the Sunami disaster. Victims of the STUPID war
in Iraq. And the christian church wants us to believe that
God is a loving and caring God. That same church tells us
that God says not to only tell someone you love them but also, SHOW them that you love them. And to the christians
that are going to respond to this message by saying that we
won't know the answers as to why God is allowing all this
suffering to go on I would like to say two things. First of
all the bible is supposed to have all the answers. And
second there is no good reason or answer why ANY suffering
should be allowed to continue when someone has the power to
stop it. It's because of this unfairness in the "FAMILY
OF GOD" that a HUGE percentage of people in this country
don't want anything to do with the "BORN AGAIN" church's.
I have heard people say that they know people who are
"BORN AGAIN" who are going thru all kinds of financial and
physical problems and that they are affraid that the same
thing would happen to them if they were "BORN AGAIN".
One last thing NOWHERE in the bible does it say that
"BORN AGAIN" means having a personal relationship with
Jesus. And also if the people who say that you must be
"BORN AGAIN" or else your going to hell are right then everyone who died before the "BORN AGAIN" movement started, sometime in the 1960's, then they have ALL gone to hell.
