    Have I been unfair to God?

    Why would you think that God would want people to fall? Is it not written in 1 John 4:8 that God is Love ? Also… 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.

    Have I been unfair to God?

    I’m glad that you’re open to the possibility that there may be a reason why God hasn’t or doesn’t step in. I wondered that at one time myself. Let me show you what I learned…. at Genesis 3 “Now the serpent+ was the most cautious* of all the wild animals of the field that Jehovah God had made...

    Why Does God permit Suffering?

    Why Does God permit Suffering? Before answering this question, I’d like to share my beliefs as to why / how suffering started and why God permits suffering to go on for so long. It is written in the Genesis account, chapter two, that God made Adam and Eve perfect in mind and body, that...

    What do you think of these verses?

    Yes, good! You are getting the idea of the Resurrection! Good, Frank. As much as we’d like to think it though, there is no immediate afterlife. Our loved ones are Resting in peace, safe in Gods memory, until called out the grave by Jesus.

    What do you think of these verses?

    “We await”, “After”...that is rite. Even those dead for 5,000 years, when they come back to life, it will be like no time at all, for them!

    Can you answer my post?About the afterlife?

    So, really...it’s not ‘when you die’, that you’ll know; it’s after your resurrection that you’ll find out. Along w/ millions of others....”all those in the Memorial tombs.” John 5:28-29.

    Flood Evidences — revised

    Right or wrong religion?

    People make many Gods, and even more religions. If there is only one true God, … Question: Should you select/choose a religion going by how you feel, or by what God expects of you or mankind? Would you agree that the God we worship has rules, standards, and laws ? Example: If anyone wants...
