Or in other words, whatever happens is of God`s will? If that is so you are making a very general statement (Everything) that applies to any and all situations.

Therefore kids get molested and abused for a reason. Genocides and Atrocites happen for a reason. The fly landed on top of my head for a reason. Not only that but saying that everything happens for a reason takes the stance of "Hard Determinism," which is not compatible with free will. A contradiction to say the least.
Perhaps you don`t believe everything happens for a reason. But, I usually hear Christians subscribing to this train of thought. Is this a fair assessment of the Christian belief? In that everything happens for a reason?

I should start off by saying i've been with my boyfriend for years...
The otehr day in class, i looked up at the clock across the room...i felt someone looking at me, so i glanced down adn saw thsi one football player who sits under the clock looking at me, and he raised his eyebrows at me and smiled...and i immdiately thought "sh*t he thinks i was oggling him"... the kid sits right by the door and is usually the first to leave after class lets out...not that day: he took forever putting on his backpack and held the door for me...i basically took off

the next day, i wore a watch to avoid looking at the clock...and i made sure to discuss my boyfriend pretty loud...but it didnt seem to stop him, i caught him looking at me like 3 times, and after class he did that waiting thing..he's yet to say anything though and i hope he doesnt...

now waht could this be? was he just being friendly? how can i tell? if he's nto being friendly, how do i make it stop?

Y'know, I just happen to adore Paul Simon and I see there's a whole lot of questions about him on this here yonder R&S board. I tried to find and answer 'em all but I'm afraid I probably missed a few. This is a dire problem. Unless I answer those questions, the people who asked them will remain forever ignorant about the man I love and thus may start a religion in his honor.

These people must be stopped! Please, if you notice a "Simon-y" question I haven't answered, point it out to me. Goodness forbid the poor man be hung on a cross and martyred! He's so cu-uuute!

*Mad hugs* Thank you. Y'all rock, ya know that? I think I may have some extra cookies in this here bag too... want some?

The reason I ask is because I see a good deal of Christians here that say things that I don't believe they would ever say to another person face-to-face. Yes, I know the atheists can be rude also, however they don't have your God watching every move they make and have no guilt associated with defying the teachings of your Christ. Do you think because of the annonimity of this forum that God does not care how you are treating others not of you faith?


PS-I realize this applies to the few, not the many.

How could some one become a doctor if they don't believe in evolution and they believe the earth is only 6000 years old.
How could some one like that pass med exams?

It doesn't matter whether one says Jesus is "God" or "a god" there is still a problem with John 17:3 when it says "...that they might know thee the only true God..." There is only one true God and Jesus must either be the true God with the Father and the Holy Spirit or else He must be a false God. If Jesus is a lesser god then John 1:1 must be taken as an assertion of polytheism. If Jesus is equal to the Father in His essence of being God, then we have a triune God.

If Jesus was "a god", then please explain why the New World Translation implies polytheism.
