| Hello, welcome and enjoy!!! It's not a big thing, I was just testing this, so don't worry click the back button, thanks for your cooperation. Taken from http://www.whereisgod.com Why does God allow terrorism, war and crime? And why does God allow natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, disease and famine? Does God know what is going on? Is God powerless? Will God ever intervene in human affairs? Many people ask these questions. After all, if God were all-powerful and loving, why wouldn't He step in and prevent the suffering? Christianity as we know it today is failing to provide answers to these questions, but the original teachings of Jesus do provide the answers. Mainstream Christianity teaches about the messenger, Jesus, but has forgotten His message: Jesus "went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God" (Luke 8:1). Very few people today understand His message about the Kingdom of God, a message very different from the confused beliefs, emotional appeals and empty rituals presented by the church organizations familiar to us today. Jesus was once asked what the greatest commandment was. His answer is recorded in Matthew 22:37-40: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38. This is the first and great commandment. 39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Your relationship with God will be very important to you. You will seek to know God and to please Him. Consider Matthew 7:21-23: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. |
