Now, this is not to say that all of the bad in this world is actually by His hand, but if it is indeed true that nothing can happen unless He allows it to, then how can He not be ultimately responsible for everything that happens?<br /><br />Yes, that is a very hard thing to accept, but I cannot imagine why anyone in their right-mind would want to believe otherwise. For if it is indeed true that things really did go horribly wrong in the Garden of Eden and that there has not been all that much He could do about it since in regards to living in this world, who is to say that it could not happen again? Subsequently, how secure can an eternity in even His Kingdom of Heaven be--regardless of how much faith one might have in Him?<br /><br />Be assured that He has a very good explanation for why He chose to do what He has done, and I am hoping that you will want to hear it. Quite tragically, it is too simple for most to accept.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-71181931020824787302012-10-28T09:53:56.057-06:002012-10-28T09:53:56.057-06:00Is it simply that man has some inner "drive&q...Is it simply that man has some inner "drive" that makes him constantly strive to take advantage of the less powerful?<br /><br />A friend has sent me an article, which I am now poring over, which delves into the aspect of land ownership and distribution which is really making me think. I will probably post my "take" on this article when I get it digested. It is pertinent to this post.

You have a circular way of writing that makes it hard for me to understand what you are trying to say, If (perhaps, can't really tell) you are saying all the pain and hunger and exploitation in the world is by God's design, you might want to go back for confirmation. If that is not what you are saying, then I don't know what to say. I invite you to write again, using short and clear statements. I hope all is going well with you today.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-22314164871500014772012-10-27T17:12:25.601-06:002012-10-27T17:12:25.601-06:00There are very rarely aggressors, internal or exte...There are very rarely aggressors, internal or external, who don't wrap themselves up in the role of sanctity incarnate and move forward, killing and laying waste in the name of freedom and civilization. <br /><br />As you pointed out, history is up to its eyeballs in such malefactors, always claiming to work for the good of the people they "free" (even believing it at some level) instead of using greed as the excuse, even if it generally the reason. <br /><br />It's disheartening that such behavior is clear in the past and repeated over and over, yet now, in a "civilized age" we still don't get it.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-32860909905548996222012-10-25T21:24:53.711-06:002012-10-25T21:24:53.711-06:00It is in consideration of the history of such regi...It is in consideration of the history of such regions as Central and South America that makes it hard to want to hold onto the absolute truth of the matter truly being that our Heavenly Father is in FULL control of ALL that happens. That is, unless one wants to believe that He really is as cold-hearted as He so often appears to be from our own ground-based points-of-view.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-89749511636855762812012-10-22T11:23:58.955-06:002012-10-22T11:23:58.955-06:00Adullamite suggested I read this post...and he was...Adullamite suggested I read this post...and he was right.<br />Central America ...serial exploitation.the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-77614271569411864942012-10-21T15:17:57.651-06:002012-10-21T15:17:57.651-06:00It was, is, a sad situation.It was, is, a sad situation.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-6246253870219283442012-10-21T13:11:15.756-06:002012-10-21T13:11:15.756-06:00Very interesting.

Often it is the police! <br />South America is more settled, but with vast numbers of poor (see Brazil).<br />Some parts are rife with problems as you have noted. Human nature needs a saviour as they say. <br />Great post. Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.com
