If God intends everything to come out the way it does, why would YOU as a Christian have life or health insurance? Is that not trying to defeat GOD SWILL, sorry I put the space in the wrong place. Prayer is useless in that event since the outcome is planned. Oh, and what about the 10 MILLION babies that die each year (under age 5) doesn't that make GOD the biggest ABORTIONIST ever? !!

10 million babies under 5 yrs of age DIE each year, Hunger, disease, malaria, bad water. Those are NOT the ones terminated by mothers who decide pregnancy is not right for them at this time....

I've always wondered if Benny Hinn and his cronies have health insurance.

God's Will is that we live in perfect communion with Him. But because we are all sinners, (Romans 3:23-For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God), we have consequences for the things we do and say. God provides a way to safety-(Romans 6:23- For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.) Because we have free will, we can alter the Perfect Will of God by our sinful nature and our choices. However, He will never leave nor forsake us, and ,( Romans 26:28-And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.) So though He allows trials and pain to come into our lives, He will be there for us, and it will work out somehow in the end. When we look up at the tapestry of our lives, we see all the knots, and ties, and the extra yarn that makes no sense. But from God's eyes, looking down at the tapestry--He sees the warmth, the colors, and the beauty that has been woven through our tears, sorrow, and joy. Remember, we learn and become strong through trials. If nothing ever happened to challenge us, we would become weak, lathargic, bored, and even lazy. God knows what's best for His Children. Sometimes discipline is required, just as it is with earthly parents and their children. . Prayer is not useless--it is so sacred and bonds us together for good. We should always pray according to His Will. No, God is not the abortionist! How "handy" it is for some people to blame God for everything! Some people hide behind the "hypocrite" excuse, too, but if you think of it, it takes a pretty small person to hide behind a hypocrite. Maybe if we all took care of our bodies we wouldn't need health insurance, but what would happen if some drunk driver came and ran over us, even if we were in perfect health? We'd be pretty thankful we DID have health insurance. But believe me, God took care of my children and myself for many years that I could not afford health insurance! And as for life insurance, with the ways of this world, you can't bury someone for less than $5000 to $7000, and that's not a top of the line funeral either. So we need life insurance so that our families can afford to bury us after we die. I'm sorry, I probably said a lot more than you wanted to know--but I'm so grateful to God for so many things I just got carried away. I hope you get something out of my answer. Thank you.

God in His love for us has given us freewill.
In the very beginning everything was perfect, until we creatures decided we wanted to be God. God did not abort ten million babies each year, that is a decision made by the mother and the abortionist themselves. Don't blame God for our sins.

I believe that God gave us brains to figure things out like the devil and his diseases. If we did not have Doctors and Scientists then we would all be dead from such rotten diseases like measeles, mumps, plague, and probably even the common cold! I also believe that God has a plan for everyone, those children were needed elsewhere, I do not believe that he is an abortionist! Also when women have miscarriges I believe that God doesn't think it is their time to have children, he has something else in mind for them. I have health insurance to help cover the costs of sickness and life insurance to make sure that my children and husband will be financially ok after I am gone.

He gives us free will. We do with it as we see fit. If we choose wrong then it is of our own doing. For you know of right and wrong and you choose either. What is happening , even with every thing that is said to be already willed, is that it is. Even the choosing of the free will has already been done. Though we know not of everything that has been chosen, it has. If you think that GOD is suppose to do everything we all want and if he doesn't then he cannot exist. Your wrong, for he does not give us all what we want , he gives us what we need, and for some that still isn't enough. For many of the people of today want so much and never stop wanting things. Ever notice it will never be satisfied? For if you always want monetary things you'll will never be satisfied. Go beyond that. Start with yourself and what you can do. GOD works through us.

Very simply put: Free Will. God gave mankind the choice to believe in him or not. Those of us who believe in Him know that with Faith in Him and his master plan, we can overcome the Evil of Satan (a fallen angel) and his legion of followers. Not everything that happens is God's will. Mankind and free will attribute to the final outcome. When Jesus was asked about paying taxes his response was, "Give unto Caesar that which is his. Give unto God what is his." Having life insurance or health insurance is called participating in the world.

Having health insurance covers money, no your actualy health. God might plan for you to get the money needed to cover costs. Just because God is almighty doesn't mean that he will make money pop out of nowhere. Having insurance has nothing to do with religion. Also, God has a plan for everyone. The babies may have lived a short life, but their life changed many people. It changed the world, even if just the littlest bit.

First, most Christians don't believe that. It's just something that you've heard some Christians say. Second, who's to say that God didn't want you to get insurance?

Well, everything is not God's will. Your will choices can certainly run counter what God wants for you to choose. So, therefore, God doesn't always get his way. Human beings make choices not of God's will every single day.
