  Oh, Happy, one more thought.

  Do you have children? If so as a father would you want your children to just sit around and do nothing, or would you want them to take steps knowing that every step they take is either for good or evil and all have consequences. God our heavenly father like our earthly father would not want us to take a step in the wrong direction ie take drugs and tells us the evil of it however it is still our choice to take that drug as it is your childs that is free will. We have to choose to take advice and do what we know to be right.

  Ok Happyguy, my comments were not meant as an attack on you personally but on the idea that people tend to want someone other than themselves to solve todays problems. I will respond to your comments now. ( I can't get it to cut & paste so all will answer numerically)

  1. I don't believe God is pure love. He has other qualities, much like we do.

  2. Man wanted to rule themselves, so he let them. Cause & effect. Brief reasons why there is suffering:

  A. Natural forces of the earth, tornado's & earthquakes, wild fires have purposes, we need to be out of the way. Sometimes these are mistakenly called "Acts of God" , But some may be caused by Satan. See Job Chapter 1.

  B. Some suffering we self inflict by using poor choices in our free will.

  C. Some suffering inflicted by others using their poor choice of free will.

  D. Disease a result of our sinful nature and us not properly caring for our earth.

  3. No blame shifting here, man wanted to rule themselves, so here we are. And you're still under the assumption that he's doing nothing. As I said before he uses people (thats where you & I come in) also see Hab. chapter 2.

  4. I have great empathy for others, that is why I give to organizations that meet these needs. I would go personally, but its not finacially practical for me to do so, therefore I give to those who can. Have you been to the third world? I would be encouraged to hear how you have been helping these children. Yes, I know you want God to, but he has given that responsiblity to us. Just asking, no disrespect meant.

  5. The book of Matt. shows us that we are to feed the hungry, help the sick & injured & to be in peace with one another. If we all did a little more to practice this , the world would indeed be a better place.

  6. God is doing something by teaching us in scripture how to help ourselves & others. I trust that he sees the bigger picture.

  In the future, its Little Bird. I wont respond to any further name calling.

  God hasn't carried out rev 21, because there is revelation 1-20 to go through first.

  I see your point. Maybe there are greater reasons why he can't. Not that he cant physically, but cant for some other reason. I don't know, but am anxious to hear other responses.

  Im sorry, Im relatively new to the board and I misunderstood. I haven't seen many of your posts. I think he uses people, but for the most part, doesnt directly stop bad things, I accept that I may be wrong. Im still on my journey trying to figure things out. This is what I think as of right now. If you have the time please pm me about your thoughts, again, I apologize.
