I still feel compelled to write on this top pic, and yet I am so underqualified (I guess) to feel that I would have something worthy to say about this topic. I mean, not many bad, bad things have happened to me that would give great insight to empathize with those who really suffer. I have never been abused, hungry, or homeless. However, on my mind right now are people who have suffered. One is a professor that teaches at the school I attend. He had twins born to him that died, at birth! He wrote a book about his experience. Its called The Cup Of Glory. Another issue is a girl in one of my classes. Her father was diagnosed with colon cancer, and they found out that he has some in his liver as well. The gave him a 50% chance to live!
So, do you wonder why these terrible things happen. Bad choices you, or they, made? Wht about enviromental influences? Human depravity? Do you think that God really wants to make you suffer for the sins you have committed? The truth is, these things happen because this world is not a pefect place. Bad things happen because of bad decisions we (or others) make, but they also happen because this world is inhabited by harmful influences, whether those be natural or genetic.
Unfortunately, the rise of scientism has left people with a hollow foundation. On the surface, it offers truth and validity. But underneath, it stands upon the styrofaom pillars of deceit. Just add a little heat, and it will conform to whatever you need it to be.
The origin of evil (lack of good) is not because of a heavenly temperment, but of an earthly torment. Depravity breeds sin, and sin breeds suffering.
Think on That?
