From the Daily Sceptic... Matthew 24:9 is coming true: you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake...

"Muslim candidates and elected representatives… need make no excuses for their personal faith. To criticise a Muslim, or any other minority, for the illiberal tenets of their faith would be prejudicial. But Christians? They’re fair game."
i def understand what you are saying, but the Bible tells us that Gods ways are not our ways and His ways are much Higher than our ways.
i also struggle with this thought about creating something that i love and to know that creation might burn in eternity seems cruel. to be 100% honest, i don't know how God does this? i often think about how He sees all these children being sacrificed for centuries and how He can take it? but i have to always come back to He is God, He knew all of this would happen and yet He still created us. somethings are not for us to know.
i've been crushed different times and have vented on this site and there are some really, really great people on here that lovingly bring me back. a pede on here called Fractualization (sp?) was very gracious to me in his/her words. i will never forget the time and graciousness of his/her words about our Father. we all have bad days, some worse than others and that's why we have to lean on our brothers and sisters and much prayer because satan works OT on us.
i was asked one day, what happens if you don't believe and you die and there is a God? what happens if you do believe and you die and there is NO God? which one would you rather choose?
what do you lose if you die believing there is a God, and there is a God, you have eternal life. what have you lost if you die and have lived a good life and there is no God? you have lost nothing, you gained a good life. why take the chance? having God in your life is a win/win.
100% agree on having God in life is a win/win. But to your point on creation, imagine having a child and knowing it would become homeless before you conceived? It just seems like a wild concept. Like you said, Gods ways are not our ways. I am sure there’s a reason for all of it.
i agree 100% with you but then i realize i have to trust that God knows exactly what he is doing because if not, it would harden my heart. i def never want that. i guess this is where trust and faith come in?
also time for us is different than time for God. 1,000 years is just a blink of an eye for Him. God bless fren, i hope you find peace.
