JESUS CASTS DEVILS OUT OF THE SWINE

"Talking about the Bible, do you think it right, as Matthew 8 tells us,for Christ to drive the devils into a legion of swine, who were drowned? Matt 8:30-32 30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. 31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
A greater good was done by driving the swine out of the demoniac, and permitting them to enter the swine, then the death of the swine as a result of their rushing headlong into the sea.
"What became of devils that went into the swine?"
“My guess, if you want that, is that they became deviled ham”.

This is my 2nd post of the night here. I am going through such terrible emotional pains now and I hope you guys dont mind posting again.
There are things in life that I am just lost, confused, and can't understand. I will list them below and hopefully some people can provide me with insights.
1. Why do innocent, good people have to die and suffer?
2. Why does life have to be unfair?
3. Is it your fault if you were born with terminal illness?
4. If you were born gay, how are you supposed to live with that for the rest of ur life? Isn't the Bible against homosexuality?
5. Why didn't God save tens of millions of innocent people, mostly civilians during WWII? How could He possibly let such horrible mass-scale atrocities happen? Why didn't He intervene?
6. Where is the world going seriously? Maybe it is just me, but I notice people getting more evil, greedy, losing conscience, moral values, violence happening all over the world.

We had a Christian wedding but I don't think we will be able to find a priest to do the required convalidation ceremony. So, what happens now? Will I be excommunicated? Does that just mean the inability to recieve communion?

the nazis spread their hate ideology by overthrowing the german gov't. and eventually terrorizing europe>
currently Radical muslims are rallying people to join them into overthrowing governments and enforcing Islam upon the world> If they succeed I'm afraid they will turn into MANY Nazi germanys terrorizing the world>

Should the U.S. and its allies keep fighting the war on terror or let this growing threat strengthen??

There is one thing I don't understand. Some of you keep saying that we are in time. But God is outside of time. I can't understand exactly what that means. Can someone explain it to me? Are we living in some sort of science fiction world here? Love Betty.

It may sound kind of funny reading this, but I want to know what God has done for you all. I wanna know how he has helped you and what he has said to you to help and how you know he exists for sure and things like that?....

thanks!

As a spiritual guide, it's sorely lacking. If you want to know about stoning people to death for trivial reasons, keeping slaves and slaughtering animals to appease a "jealous" god, the Buy-bull (especially the Hebrew bible or Torah) is for you.

Since Fundamentalists believe that no one, not even the Virgin Mary, can be without sin, who do Fundamentalists think the righteous are that are talked about so often throughout all of the Bible?

Abortions: So you think your saving a life? Do you think your doing something good? Not all people who get abortions are sluts... Some of the time they spend there last dime on it so there child wouldn't have to suffer... Some children who are adopted are abused and treated horribly or even sold as sex slaves. But you don't care do you?

Gay marriage: Explain to me why this matters so much to you... you can't let people live happy lives? Did it ever hurt you? Does other peoples happiness not matter to you? How would you like it if I became president and tried to take away straight marriage? (not possible but a what if...)

Stem Cells: Why would you be against this of all things? They don't have to use fetuses they can use umbilical cords as well... Would you really take someones who IS born life away just for the cost of one that hasn't started? I know it may seem barbaric. If you had a chance to save someones life before you were born would you take it?

the opinions of others? Should I respect the opinions of a racist, a religious extremist, or someone who believes unbridled greed is necessary for a healthy economy? If not, why should I respect an atheist, or an evangelical? Why can I not just condemn and then argue my point without respecting anything that appears absurd or dangerous to me?
