God is not fair? Gos is just and fair. When you ask your parents for something as a child and you didn't like the answer did you tell them they were not fair? As a parent I can look back and understand why my parents sometimes said no. God never promised life would be easy if we followed Him. He never promised there would never be trials in our lives. I believe trials come along by the way of "peoples choices." They might not be our choices but choices that effect people because of others actions. My husband and I are farmers. Shall I curse God because we are having a drought? The crops are dying? NO. Today I praised God for answering prayer with a "YES" today. He sent rain. My husband would have liked more rain....but we are thankful just the same. We trust in Jesus Christ.(Galations 2:20, and Mark8:34&35) Good and bad times help us to trust Him. The bible tells me to trust Him. Keep Him first. Put no other gods before Him. Example...money, idols, "things."Connie said:Buddhism is not a believe. it is a philosophy. That is some thing else...
We had an other discussion here about believe and thats is more worth while.
I am a believer... but i have people at my door, see them on tv... and hear them the radio. What is it whit GOD...He is not fair... I think when you give your live to Him you have not a nice live...every think is for HIM ...what about your family`s... thats more important then GOD.... Are you afraid to live for yourselfs. He can`t do anything for you. When you die on a car accident is it not HIS will. It is a stupid mistake of you or the other car driver.
All the thinks that happend in this world is ower own fault.

I don`t want to tell you that you don`t have to belive... but some thinks are explain by people that learn for it... When GOD is just a good man why don`t HE show Himself to us.....Why must we believe, that He is just like us. We never seen Him.
Why think when you are pray for rain and then He sent rain... The people in Afrcia pray every day for rain... do they get it??? No!!! not a drop. Why... don`t He love them? Are they not His children? Why the pope tell them to not use a condoom? To have more children. All of the children die before they are one year old... Is that the mening of God??? The pope is His disiple and tell us what to do. He give us the word of God. When those people use a condoom they don`t get HIV or Aids... and they live longer.
Why can`t people be homosexual? are they dirty??? No they are good people...why must they be sentence to not normal people... That are words of God and the pope...
Wow... I did never write a long text like this...
But I`ll hope you get my ponit...
i love all people and I am a nice girl and a good mother and a good wife... I don`t believe in this God.. But I`am going to heaven just like you believers...He has a room for me too.
I love you all very much....
See you soon.
Love Connie
Jules said:Connie,
You ask so many good questions. I am not Jesus Christ, father of heaven and earth. The only place I know to look for the answers is in Gods word the bible. I don't know why God allows it to rain in one place and not another. I know it says in the bible the poor you will have with you always. I assume it is because of sin in the world, corrupt governments, etc. I don't know much about the pope.....
God "just" a man? The bible says is many places that God and Jesus are one.
Trinity: Genesis 1:26, Genisis 11:7, Isaiah 6:8, Matthew 3: 16&17, John 1:1, John 17:1,5,21, John 14:26, Acts 5:3&4.
Diety of Jesus Christ: Isaiah9:6, Isaiah 7:14, Micah 5:2, Exodus 3:14, John 1:1, 8:58, 17:5, Hebrew 1:3, Colosians 2:9, Philippians 2:11, Revelations 1:8,17,18, and 1 John 2:23.
I don't understand how a person can say they don't believe in God but they believe in His home, Heaven. Isn't that like saying I don't believe in you because I never saw you...but I believe in your house and I plan on going to the Netherlands to live there? I believe you exist even though I have never seen you or talked to you in person.
Trust....
Assurance....John 3:16&17
