Ok - you all know me, well most of you have an idea of my sentiments. So I thought you might enjoy this. I have a room mate that collects crosses. All sizes, all designs, from pictures to metal, to crosses fixed to various backings. She decorates with these. Stop laughing, now. I'm actually beginning to appreciate some of the artistic qualities of a few of her pieces - I suppose if I have anything to be thankful for, in the matter, it's that NONE of them include a deparate man nailed to it. whew!!! |

...because God is compassionate & slow to anger (patient), not wanting that ANY should perish & that ALL should come to the saving knowledge of His wonderful grace. 
. . . except for all the people he killed in the bible. . . Seems to me that everyone who was on the planet at the time of the entire span of the bible is dead. Is there some point you were attempting to make? |

. . . except for all the people he killed in the bible. . . Seems to me that everyone who was on the planet at the time of the entire span of the bible is dead. Is there some point you were attempting to make? Abracadabra obviously got the point I was making: ...because God is compassionate & slow to anger (patient), not wanting that ANY should perish & that ALL should come to the saving knowledge of His wonderful grace.
. . . except for all the people he killed in the bible. . . Yeah really. Clearly the Bible doesn't agree with the idea that God is compassionate and slow to anger. If God is so loving why are Christians so anxious to make it out like God hates eveyone who believes that God is nicer than the biblical picture. God should be thrilled by anyone who rejects the biblical picture because they believe that God is nicer than the Bible says. But the Christians aren't thrilled with anyone who believes that God is actually nice. |

Wonderful subject. and yes, our free will is the key to dealing with evil. We can not control the will of others but we can protect ourself from harm from their evil through our own faith. Our spirit can not be overtaken by the darkness of others as long as we cling tightly to the Truth. Faith might move mountains but it won't stop lead. I reckon I will protect myself with a combination of faith and readyness. God works on a longer time scale than I do... |
