Is that really true? Does that mean that bad things don't happen to christians, or when they do, it is God's will that had some purpose?

Say a devout Christian person had his small son kidnapped and killed, now, was this to "test" the man's faith- if so, then what did the child do to deserve being tortured?
Did the man just not pray hard enough?
Was this punishment to the man for some past sin? IF so, what did the child do to deserve this?
Or do you believe that the child couldn't have been innocent and deserved it?

Is it possible that chaos ALSO exists for people who follow "God's plan"? or is this not possible since those who follow God's plan don't get punished like the rest of us, and when they do, it is either a "test" or a "punishment"....
for the believer, is this a win win situation faith?

I told this girl I’ve been dating for 3 months that I had strong feelings for her and I was falling in love with her. She was very surprised and said at the time it was a good thing and she was happy to hear it. Well a week went by and now she says she is freaked out a little because she’s been thinking about it. I’m not head over heels in love with her but do have strong feelings for her. I told her that I wasn’t like let’s get married in love but I do have strong feelings and wanted to convey them in some way. My choice of words may not have been the best but I’m not really good at this sort of thing. Anyway, we saw each other yesterday and things seemed to go ok. I still felt a sense of awkwardness though. Should I back off and see how it goes some or should I forget this one? She has a hard time conveying any feelings toward me and said that it was just the way she was. Should I continue to show her affection or back off some to see if she starts showing me anything?

I am thinking of buying either a Nissan Skyline R33 GTR or a Nissan S15 Silvia. The cars are right hand drive and dont have egr's. Can i still register them, so I can drive them legally. I heard to legalize the Siliva, I could buy a U.S. 240sx and swap over the tags and plates. Then use the 240sx to pass smog, and put back the tags and plates on the silvia. Would this work for the skyline also???

My wife has had neumerous affairs during our years of marriage. I have tried to resolve this with her, but the reason it can never be resolved is; she just won't admit she ever done anything wrong! I have saw her with another man with my own eyes, and saw her vehicle at a motel when she was supposed to be working. If she would ever come clean and admit to it, then we could work toward a resolution. Why does she not understand that this will always be between us, and I can never trust her again knowing she lies about it. I've tried to make myself feel better and have an affair of my own, but I couldn't bring myself to do her that way. What she doesn't understand, is honesty in a relationship is everything. I love this woman, and she says she loves me, but I can't put this behind me, ever. Why is she that stubborn? This has drove me crazy, and I can't do anything but hurt. We don't have children at home. Any suggestions?

Just reading the BBC news page.(check this link)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/2/hi/africa/5333910.stm >

and it said that India has the highest number of AIDS sufferers in the world, not SA. Upon further research I found many sites giving the following figures SA 5.5 million, India 5.7 million.
I mean this is hardly good news, but it's something to point out to the racist bigots who come online moaning about the black goverment doing nothing, and blaming AIDS on them. You'll also see in the link our Minister of health, who incourages garlic for Aids, is being sidelined.(Yipee) Hopefully they'll get an expert on it now, and we can start to slow down the spread of this gastly disease, and the stigmas and taboo's that go with it.

I remember it so vividly. In the beginning. Soon after the start of the war in Iraq,.
"We are NOT an occupying force," came cries of denial from Donald Rumsfeld, and the Generals, and the President....
Denials. Denials.
But I think I already knew differently. When US troops stormed into Downtown Baghdad,, and I saw that clip..of a U.S. soldier, hoisting a United States flag......
Oh it was soon taken down. But the image was still there. It was such a humm, BOLD and disturbing move.
Then came Colin Powell, after weeks of denial also, letting it slip that we were "occupying" Iraq.
And then Bush.,denying, denying. Continuous assurances that we were there "to bring freedom and democracy" to the Iraqi people.
But finally relenting.
"Yes, we are occupying."
When will we learn....
or no...
its more that our government has to stop lying to us. I thnk, even as we might not like what they do, that if they do it and not lie about it, this government would be far more respected.
