do you agree with the saying "all things are happening for a reason"? why?

Answer 1

In a way yes. In another way no.
There exists the contemporary mythology of things like when someone dies, certain ones will say "It was his time", or when referring to children that die, things like "God needed another angel".
These concepts are both wrong because they attribute to God, the things that make us sad. Like death and dying.
Yet, in the other context, all things happening for a reason, is true.
Yes, we die. Yes, our children die. But the reason is because Adam and Eve, had rejected for all of us the intervention of God, when it comes to the whole issue of death.
We, were not intended to die, yet, because the first pair rebelled, we inherited death.
Yet, all is not lost.
We do have the bright hope of the end of death. And the Resurrection of our dead loved ones.
Yes, while the majority of people have accepted that dying is normal, the truth, which is becomming ever brighter says, that it is not normal, and that soon, death will be overthrown.

Answer 2

I only agree that all of these natural disasters and strange or unusual events are happening to point us in the direction of The Book of Revelation.

We had the contaminated pet food from China, the contaminated human food from China, the deadly toys from China, and all other manner of defects from China, and so much more since the first of the year. We have China and Russia conducting joint military excercises on Russian Soil. He that hath an ear, let him hear.

Yesterday it was the floods. Today it is Greece Burning, over 3,000 forest fires this summer in that nation. Before that the hurricane, and tornadoes, and fires, and earthquakes, and bridges, the coal mines, the floods again

The skies around Athens are red as ash falls in the center of the capital.--Report: 600 dead from N. Korea floods. Iraq body count running at double pace- 2 dead in Canada hot air balloon fire AP - 20 minutes ago Twin bombs kill 70 in southern India AP

Blazing Balloon Crashes In Trailer Park Watch
At Least 2 Killed As Screaming Passengers Jump From Hot Air Balloon

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

He that hath an ear, let him hear.

Answer 3

One thing I have found is that things DO happen for a reason, most time it's more than ONE reason! The trick is to be in tune with the reasoning process! But this requires a subtlety of reasoning and mental capacities not generally cultivated by regular people, hence it is not accessible to most people!

Answer 4

I do think all things happen for a reason. You can find a reason why everything happens. People do things because of their character or lack of character. Earthquakes happen because of instability in the earth's plates. Hurricanes happen because it's part of the overall pattern of the earth's cycles. Global warming and ice ages happen for the same reason. Everything happens for a reason.

Answer 5

Not completely... I do believe that a lot of things do happen for a reason but this general law is by no means perfect and there are plenty of things that happen for absolutely no reason.

Answer 8

yep. because it is sometimes revealed to us the chain of events that lead up to or from something that happens in our lives.

like the reason rosa parks decided she wouldn't give up her seat on that bus. the impact of her individual action was felt across the nation and our society is living proof of the power of one woman's decision. did she know in advance that she would be known as a mother of civil disobedience? nope, but God had a reason....

Answer 9

No.
We should take responsibility for our actions or lack there of.
It's is horrible to hear someone blame God because they smoked and developed lung cancer or when they drink and drive and kill someone.
Bad things happen to good people.
Jesus illustrated this to us with his reference to the 22 people who died when the Tower of Salome fell. I hope that is how you spell it.
What we should be doing while we are alive is search of Jehovah and his Kingdom while there is still time.

Answer 10

No, that means we are NOT in control of our own destinies
