inmates who were executed or are serving prison term for crimes they did not commit. Even the thought of one innocent victim spending years in prison cell is enough to break your heart. They say we're merely travelers/visitors here on earth and we should not desire worldly riches or temptations. But there're many people who get to enjoy success, riches, tons of friends and are reasonably happy in this world who get to go to heaven because they're good christians. What about those other christians who are always poor, sick, lonely and miserable all their life. Why do they have to suffer in this life? How can God say that we're all precious to Him and that He loves each one of us equally? Even though I"ve been a christian all my life, the only thing that makes sense is karma/reincarnation. Your actions in this life will greatly affect your future lifes.

I think this is a question a lot of us feel. I don't believe in blindly following anybody's version of God. I also do not condone organized religion. I have my own beliefs, not based on man made books or what some guy in a robe tells me to think. I believe what makes sense to me.
I also believe it's CRUCIAL to question what your told to believe, even if the end result is that you still believe it. It's the only way to decide for yourself what you truly believe.
I have passionate feelings about religion and corruption. I could go on for days, but I'll spare you. Kudos to you for asking the tough questions, though, and celebrating the journey, not the doctrine.

And that's pretty much the big question, isn't it?
All you can do is find what makes the most sense to you, and what works for you. I too think reincarnation makes the most sense as an answer to this question--but even with that, I don't know if I actually believe in it myself.
There's not a good answer anywhere. Just hang tight to what you have and figure out what you believe about it.

Their rewards are laid up in heaven. We cant blame God for a legal system invented by MAN, that does not function in a just way. Ever here the parable about the rich man? Our rewards are laid up in heaven. Many Christians, a friend of mine is like this, choose not to better themselves, because they believe it is God who will reward them, so they seek not for money and success, and thats why they have the lot in life they do. The Bible tells us we get one life, and one death, and what we make of it is OURS to decide. We are equal to God, but the path we choose, makes us individual to ourselves.

movements have outcomes. between the implications that God warned Adam and Eve could follow in the event that they sinned is that ailment, disease and dying could be loosed into the international. it is not what God needed, and something that he warned them to no longer do. yet while human beings disobey, suffering follows. collectively as God does on social gathering decide directly to step in and alter that by a divine therapeutic, it is the exception, no longer the guideline. subsequently is it reported as a miracle. He has the information to be responsive to while that's a variety of cases while he could step in. yet while he only stepped in everytime and rescued human beings for the implications of sin, morality as all of us be responsive to it does not exist. (be conscious that i'm no longer asserting her dying is the end results of her sins or something she did incorrect. somewhat that's the end results of a rigidity reported as "sin" that works in the international. there's a distinction.) Who is common with of what got here approximately to her for the time of those very final hours. possibly the ailment led to her to tutor to God, in seek of his help and salvation, and for this reason certain her an eternity in heaven in replace for some years of earthly existence. the place if she had lived, she could have lost eternity. because of the fact i do no longer and could no longer be responsive to all the circumstances, i'm no longer able to inform you the main factors of what God became doing on the time in the region.

The pat excuse is "free will"...evidently God holds it so sacred that he won't interfere with it (regardless of having done so in his own book.) . Even when one person's free will runs roughshod over another's.
Nice God you got there. You suppose he tosses his faithful to the wolves for amusement?
