To help those who need and take some from those that dont?...Thing is i dont think it is God who is in charge.how could it be...the way he is talked about here no way he could be that unfair......maybe its chaos or fear thats in charge...or maybe power and greed.....my only question is,and, if any of you know,please let me know who is in charge of life on our home we call earth.or at least politely ask them to contact me...

My dear wife, Peach Blossom, has read and studied the Bible much more than me, so I deferred your question to her. Here is her answer:

“You obviously don’t know this God you are questioning. Get to know Him before you accuse. God is love. He is the love, peace, joy and all those things you desire and hope for. Sin is disobedience to God and the loving, generous boundaries Our Creator set to keep us within His providence and protection. When man thinks he can run this world better than the Creator, we cause chaos. It doesn’t help that Satan is working hard to deceive us into believing lies instead of truth.

“If you want answers, ask the Creator, the “owner” so to speak. Read the Bible. Genesis tells how God created a perfect world. Then foolish man starts thinking he can run things better than God and gives the authority God gave him over to Satan. Satan of course muddies the truth, changes the colors and dulls up the shine, anything to deceive us into believing lies instead of truth. Ever since sin entered the world it has been dying and the Bible tells us it will get much worse before it gets better, thus the death throes of a dying world, i.e. hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, droughts and fires. It makes so much more sense when you believe the Bible that the world is only 6,000 years old instead of the lie of billions of years.”

“You are correct, nonothing, Christians don’t always prove their faith by their deeds. James 2:14-24 talks to us about that. Not one of us is perfect, only saved by the Perfect One, JESUS CHRIST, God’s own son. We are working toward perfection and try to imitate Christ, try to be compassionate toward people (not toward sin) but we won’t be perfect until heaven. Don’t look at me, look at Jesus, He is the only one who can really help you.”

From Soapweed again: Hope this helps, nonothing. As Peach Blossom indicated, the answers are all in the Bible. We just need to take the time to read, study, practice and pray to do what is right.

I had a pastor once that likened it to parenting. God is a Father, afterall.
And like good parents, He knows that He has given us the tools to make good decisions. But He also knows we have the willfullness and free will to make bad ones.

A good parent doesn't jump in to bail their children out of every mistake they make. Our children would never learn from their mistakes, would the? They would never learn what we want them to learn to be good members of society.

Mankind is a bigger version of that...

You can hide behind what ever belief you want?I dont know where the facts that are written in the bible come from and the ones who wrote in it does it not there for become their interpertation on stories handed down?.......one question i have for you people who use the bible as a map of life......why do men no longer live much past one hundered years old unlike the centurys men lived for in genisis?.....or did the calander change?....i am not attacking the bible,and i can say this about my faith..........i compare it to flying a kite in the fog.i cant see the kite but i can feel the tug on the string.......but is that how i am to judge all....it comes down to blind faith?does God really excist or do you just believe he does?Only you and your heart truely know...

Like you said, you either feel the tug or you don't.

so far as lifespans. Some people think lifespans have shorten, some think the measurement of time is different.

For example, my current pastor is from Kenya. She said it's interesting to ask old Kenyans how old they are. Because they'll tell you four times more than they really are. They measure their age in seasons.

Naw we leave that to the democrats :lol: red robin and I are part of the war mongering, cold hearted, big corporation, rich, Republican group. :lol:

Now seriously, I know about the sadness and pain that goes on in this world. I recently had a very close college buddy of mine get shot in the head while he slept in his own house. Might I add his 3 boys were also in the house when it happened. Oh did I mention it was his wife that did it? :mad: Turns out it was all for money, or at least thats the majority of it, the trial is next month hopefully and maybe I will get the whole stroy then. Currently I get my information from his family. I try to make it a point to go by and check on his mom, dad and three boys as often as I can but I know that's not often enough. But I'm trying to help where I can. So don't come on here preaching to people you don't know about how they should write their President to help those in need. That is the job of many not just the Leader of our Govt. :twisted: :evil:

First of sorry for loss bbj....many sad stories involving greed or money....and he was lucky to have a friend like you to help after such a brutal event....i offer you my codolunces and my hope is that his children's lifes wont be forever affected by such a senseless tragedy...................I am not preaching i am pionting out.....and what i wrote was merely a suggestion of rather than give me an insult to do something constructive with your pen....to many people in then end become victims that then become numbers ........i am tired of rich laywers and politicians and those that hide behind laws only to stand trial before the court and then asked to raise thier right hand and place their left where? ...

The Mayan indians as well as the Aztechs are prime examples of how civilizations crumble from decadence and evil. They were both brilliant civilizations that were advanced in architecture and math. Now their decendants are impoverished and lowly. They have devolved over the generations. There are several answers to why but I personally think it is from their human sacrifices , peganism etc. How will our society fair if we stay on the same path?

I thought the Mayans and the Aztecs were annhilated by the conquistadors?

By both disease and warfare.

nonothing I think God put you in charge. I think he presents us all with opportunitys to do or say good things every day. I think god gave Mother Thersa opportunitys everyday to do good and I think she took every one of them. One day we will all face God alone and we will only have to answer for the good things we did or didn't do.

I just watched a moody science video about the fall of some civilizations. The mayans were very impressive. They aren't any more. The showed one of the women nursing a monkey. :shock: My kids about freaked out. Here is something I grabbed off of the web.

The villagers are descendants of the Mayan culture and live much as they have since the fall of the Mayan empire around 800 AD. Thatch roofs, dirt floors, and open fires are the norm as is bathing in and drinking from the river. They are primarily subsistence farmers and their principle diet consists of corn, beans and rice. Most of the groups work is with women and children of the villages and the majority of each year's treatment is for upper respiratory infections, skin disorders, colds, cuts, and infected sores. There is a great book that has been recently published, The Maya Atlas, (available through Amazon.com), that maps the villages the group treats. It is recommended reading for those iterested in this unique culture. It provides detailed maps of the villages and provides some demographics

I think you might be in the wrong place to be making those type of comments. Yes most here are a God fearing people, as most farm and ranch people are.
