+JMBella Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 quote:Originally posted by wilywampa:not to hijack this thread and turn it into a religion debate or anything, but i have to ask.. why is it because of god that she was found, but not because of god that she went missing in the first place? or are you just going to tell me i'm in no place to question "His plan"? Chill out. I'm no holy roller or anything. Just showing some support. Why don't you do everyone a favor and delete your post. If you want to start another thread on the topic of religion I'm sure we'll get some debating in before in gets locked down by the admins. I respect your opinion but this thread is not the place for any negativity. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Because now I am Lost. Quote Link to comment

+Mark 42 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Romans 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. I'm a pretty devout believer, and unlike some who grew up in a Christian environment and have been nurtured with certain beliefs that become intrinsic to them, I often struggle with this one. There is also another which says that all authority comes from God, and no leader is in place except by God's doing, which also gives me a struggle in faith. Ultimately, I have to resign myself to recognize God's sovereignty, and trust that if he made me and everything around me, he knows what is best for me. Very difficult when I see some people's circumstances. But I try to be honest with myself and others, and not just give pat little cliche answers that I so often hear. Having not always been a believer gives me perspectives that people who always have been believers sometimes can't comprehend fully. I think this is actually a good thread for this sort of discussion... it is sort of a natural progression for a conversation on such a topic as "Why do we give God credit only for the good things in our lives?" or "Why do bad things happen to good people" It's really DiverMan's message thread, so if he doesn't want it to go off on a tangent, I can respect that, and I'll edit this post down to my original intended post, which was to say I am glad, thankful, and relieved that it turned out well. I guess I see forums like this as sort of an electronic front porch... grab a cup of coffee, sit in one of the rockers or a porch swing, and tell us what's on your mind". Quote Link to comment

AMEN! God doesn't do bad things, but he can allow them to work for His purposes! I'm so glad to hear your niece is back at home and pray that God's hand continues to work in her life!

DiverMan Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 The topic of religion has always been a sensitive one (not for me ). I do agree with Mark 42 that this is like a front porch. Where friendships and new ideas can develop. However, I don't believe in "flaming" or knocking someone else down because of their thoughts/opinions. There have been many times where I was so strong in my opinion that nobody could change my mind then later I was proven wrong. I have learned to have an open mind and listen to different views. If I don't agree with it, I leave it as "we agree to disagree" and remain friends. Things change. That's normal. Heck, 100 years ago, GPS didn't exist. If that knowledge never developed, I would have never have "met" all of you. I kind of like the religeous tangent that this has gone to. But again, I hope that this does not turn into a "flaming" session. If that happens, then the thread needs to end. If that does, we still have email that we can "converse" with. So with that said, Pass the cream and sugar DiverMan Dive Down, Dive Deep Quote Link to comment

wilywampa Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 is there ANY evidence at all that god was involved in either situation? what makes you think god taught you anything rather than just figuring it out for yourself? my picture galleries Quote Link to comment
