Society & Culture - 4 October 2006

Up until recently I have been questioning God and asking him why do wicked people prosper and good people suffer? I have even asked this question on this site.

But lately I have been getting to the point of accepting the things I cannot change and having the courage to change the things I can.

I feel with what I have gone through ( and I know I am NOT the only one) I wan to help counsel people in the form of encouragment? What are ways that I can do this and what are some signs of a mature beleiver in Christ? How can I become more mature?

All species can produce offspring unlike both parents, sometimes this is called mutation, but basically it's a birth defect. Imagine that there were white buterflies who bred other white buterflies but one produced an off white buterfly (slighly darker) and by being slightly darker it blended into it's eviroment a little bit better, avoiding being eating by predators, it survives to pass on it's dark genes. Let's say half of it's offspring are born off white as well, all of them have a greater chance of survival and when mating season comes, they all pass on their genes. Now let's say after several thousand years most of the butterflies are now off white, one might give birth to a butterfly with a birth defect of being even darker, but this helps it blend in even better than it's parents starting the cycle all over again. Over many years of this you could end up with black butterflies. This is just one small step in the evolution process.

How do you read this statement and what does it mean to you?

First, before I get started, I am not interested in ignorant racist answers so expect to be reported!! Now on to my question. I watch so many music videos based on "sippin on Cristal" or "rolling on 22's". All of today's music is about blinging platinum and diamonds, driving a Maybach or some other expensive car or insulting black women. If we're not rapping about any of those subjects, we're rapping about killing one another. And then we wonderwhy our children are growing up with no morals or values and no respect or regard for another human's life. So many of my black brothers are driving around in fancy cars with huge, shiny rims, gold teeth (mostly in the south) and can't save up enough money to move out of their mother's house. When will we as a people learn that this is our downfall? When will we learn to focus on more important things like saving for our children's future, investing in a home for our families, raising our children properly etc??

I keep hearing about free will, but an omniscient god would know of these betrayals before they occurred. And in the case of Judas, Jesus selected him to be a disciple. Why should anyone believe these betrayals were not part of the plan all along? God/Jesus could not have been fooled this often.

I think the show South Park is ridiculous and it either needs to be changed or removed. I DO NOT like the way it portrays Jesus. I have sent Comedy Central an email. I used to like the show until I saw the episodes where they make fun of Jesus. The show disturbes me very much and I feel that something needs to be done about it. If it was promoting Jesus than some anti-Christian would have something to say about it and eventually get it off the air. So why should we Christians sit back and do nothing? I need supporters to help me on this. If you agree with me, go to this website and tell them about it!!http://www.comedycentral.com/help/questionsCC.jhtml
I told them that I was going to also write to there sponsers and tell them about it. I am working on that now. I will add detail in a few with the website of there sponsers. I am going to tell there sponsers what I think also and if you agree then tell them what you think too. WHO IS WITH ME!!!! Serious answers only!!

2 Peter 3:3-4
Knowing the first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lust

And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all thing continue as they where from the beginning of the creation.

Do you see this already happening?
