And Randy I gave up on expecting anything from "god" a long time ago, just so you understand where I'm coming from. I've seen god's work, up close and personal, and I don't approve. The fact (and I don't doubt you) that god has given you so many blessing throughout your life and afflicted others with boils and cancers that weren't cured with prayers says all I need to say. God works in mysterious ways - that just don't cut it with me. You got some splainin to do god.
Not sure what you are calling god’s work, but from past conversations, I’m guessing you are blaming God for all the terrible things that happen to people/babies/etc. Do you not realize there are TWO forces at work in this world? Good and evil. God does not give people cancer. God does not kill babies. God does not abuse children. It wasn’t God who afflicted Job in the Bible. Nobody knows, but God, why these things are allowed to happen. Since the “fall of man”, sin and evil have been here, and will be until God throws satan into the bottomless pit of fire. Until then, I’m going to keep believing that God knows what He’s doin’. I may have to stand in line up in Heaven to ask Him “WHY”, but I’ll have eternity to find out; maybe on a slow fishin’ day. 😊. Will you be there? If so, I’ll save you a spot in line......
