Is it not commonly believed that as long as we all accept Christ as our Savior:
* no Baptized babies will starve (and all babies would be Baptized if we all accepted Christ)
* everyone would be fed and clothed
* all death would be welcomed, because we would all know it to be the Will of God
* bad things would not happen to good people (and all who accept Christ are good people), so nothing bad would ever happen anymore

That is exactly my theory as to why Christians are so angry....They believe that they are on the blessing bus, yet they see horrific things all around them happening to themselves.... They don't dare get mad at God, so they lash out at non-believers as if it is their fault....
A few months ago on the News after a tornado hit a town near ours and wiped it out, they were interviewing a man who 2 days prior to the tornado had buried his 42 year-old wife...
She had died from heart disease complications....Well, his church was gracious to him and collected some money for him to cover the expenses.....
The next day was the tornado.....He was in his house, the tornado hit, the money that the church collected was swept away, he was carried across the street and left unharmed, his house was nothing more than a pile of rubble....
Now, he is being interviewed that day, giving Glory to God, smiling......And the News is just marveling at him as he says that God was just testing him....
My point is, if all that happened to you and if you were being real......would you not be on your knees in great sorrow, maybe asking God, "did I miss it somewhere?" And maybe tell the media that you are too heart sick to talk right now?
It is so fake, it did not bring Glory to God at all, it makes people sick....
Eventually his anger and remorse will come out and he most likely will direct it towards non-believers....

No. Baptism has nothing to do with salvation, & starvation has nothing to do with salvation.
Yes. All Christians will have the material they need to survive for as long as God has willed their lifespan to be.
Maybe. Most Christians are ready to meet the Lord, but wouldn't mind staying here to continue working to further His Kingdom.
No. God said the rain falls on the just & the unjust.

No you have everything mixed up, as long as Satan is still around bad things will still happen, also no one is good, accept God. The Bible did not promise a life filled with happy fellings and fun, it only promised that we would have "Joy that surpases all understanding."

the only unforgivable sin is rejecting the furnish of God's forgiveness. in case you think of you're 'organic and holy' sufficient to get into heaven devoid of Jesus, sturdy luck. you're making the shown fact that he died for no longer something and God's a liar. there will be no one to rescue people who instruct contempt for his or her maker. Your 'deeds' are as filthy rags (particularly relating menstrual rags used by using females in historical situations) until now the daddy. Ever lied? Ever stole something? once you circulate to court docket for committing purgery, theft, homicide and lewd or cowardly acts.... do they choose you on the so-stated as sturdy you do? NO. you're punished for the crimes. in case you assert 'i'm no longer accountable' once you're, you reside in a state of self fantasy and you are going to be able to to boot end examining. no one aspects help to. God is powerful and maximum worth of compliment. He confides in people who concern him. it somewhat is your situation. you think of the single that made the attention can not see. you think of the single that made the solar is to no longer be feared. each and every physique is like grasshoppers to God. we are whilst in comparison with bugs in scripture. except of direction you get stunning with him - that's the whole objective for being here - after which you upward thrust like a Phoenix and are given a place with him on his holy hill. If no longer, you will get precisely what you deserve. He made you and he would be your choose sans mercy so as that justice would be carried out. As a floor dweller, i'm particular you have had a flavor of the undesirable existence. No satisfaction in something. issues getting worse and worse for you as you chase after 'different' gods. in the present day death might take you thru marvel and you will circulate down alive to the realm of the ineffective. Your determination. or you could come to him and discover relax on your soul. it particularly is a promise we've all experienced. the determination you're making is eternal. don't be a lazy historian or a self appointed critic. try each and every thing. Your very existence relies upon on you no longer being stupid approximately this. the suitable commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your coronary heart, ideas and potential and to love others as you adore your self. the suitable commandment will become your best suited sin in case you do no longer.

Well it all started with Adam & Eve. Sin is all around us so we just have to learn not to follow that path.If you really look at things that you think are bad that happens to you, they are nothing compared to people like in Iraq and homeless people, drug addicts. Really look at your life and see if those are anything worse than you. Of course satan is going to try to make bad things happen to us but as long as you have a relationship with Jesus he can control what happens.

Bad things happen because so few accept FSM as the savior. RAmen. Look at global warming if you want proof.

I don't believe in Christianity, but if people actually lived the peaceful, helpful life that Jesus did (assuming he was a real guy), then I'd imagine a lot of the problems would be solved.
The problem is not not following a religion. The problem is not following simple moral standards.

i don't agree with that. i believe that bad things happen to everyone, but it is just so that we would gain Christ. it's nobody's fault. He arranges all these situations so that we would gain Him more. That's what I think.

Bad things happen as a punishment for our sins.
