I don’t know and never will.honestly I don’t buy into the notion of God’s plan because I cannot see a loving god bringing pain suffering and misery to eople for no apparentDeleted
I have no idea what is setting you off. I think it’s pretty fair to question wth is going on after you watch some of these kids and people go through horribleness. I was hoping some our Brite alums would answer me here. We’ll see if one does.Deleted
I'll try to leave it at this as, again, I'm not a theologian.I have no idea what is setting you off. I think it’s pretty fair to question wth is going on after you watch some of these kids and people go through horribleness. I was hoping some our Brite alums would answer me here.

Some people getting these blessings and none for these children?
Sorry for the lousy job of typing. I cannot use my left hand which leaves no choice but to dictate or use one finger. Auto correct makes most what I write sound idioticI don’t know and never will.honestly I don’t buy into the notion of God’s plan because I cannot see a loving god bringing pain suffering and misery to eople for no apparent
My reason. When my son died, I had a lot of people who would pay me on the back and say” it’s just part of God’s plan””. Over time I came to realize they just didn’t know what to say or how to rationalize itontheirminds, so they said what made them feel better but it didn’t do the job for me.
Maybe there is a plan, I don’t know
on this I have a lot to learn but I’m trying.just wish I could get my left hand back
There is no rhyme or reason to it. I’m sorry about your son. I guess just live clean and be a good soul is the best one can do. But I’m not into the plan thing as a valid reason.I don’t know and never will.honestly I don’t buy into the notion of God’s plan because I cannot see a loving god bringing pain suffering and misery to eople for no apparent

I’m guessing you’re talking about that helicopter crash in the Bahamas that killed those LSU girls? That was horrible.Wes, I don’t know why you don’t have steelfrog on ignore—what a beating.
I haven’t been a poster on this board very long because I thought I might spend way too much time posting, but I have been reading this forum daily for over a decade. I feel like I know everyone on here personally. I was saddened by Scott’s passing and now your illness. I’m slightly older than you with two open-heart surgeries and a pacemaker but that pales in comparison with what you are going through. I understand Hemingway’s perspective and sentiments but I also know that God is all good and all merciful even when it doesn’t make sense to us. I was just praying this morning and contemplating the vast difference in God’s perspective and ours for this very reason. Friends just lost a 22 year old sweet and godly daughter to a helicopter crash—a helicopter crash for goodness sake! After walking with God for 35 years I still don’t understand, other than to say this life is but an eye-blink in time compared to eternity and there is little difference in 3 years or 100 years here. Those in Christ Jesus have the hope of eternity without the suffering. That is my certain hope and I hope it is yours. Nevertheless, I am still praying that God grants you many more years with us without that blasted tumor!
I appreciate your thought out response. I’m not ready to go either just sick of seeing some preachers flying in G5’s talking about the plan, while seeing little ones deal with things like non hodgkins lymphoma and etc. I know Wes is a good dude and doesn’t deserve this bleep.I don't mean to sound like a guy who always handles every difficult situation perfectly. I don't. My emotions cloud my views of things and disrupt my faith as much as anybody else. But that doesn't change the fact that I believe these are the answers you seek.
Your own?Some of the posts on this thread aptly illustrate why Steel stopped coming on here. Good lord.
I have a lot of friends in ministry who are rightfully very skeptical of the type of preachers you describe. I believe Paul cautions us about them and people like them throughout his missionary journeys. Since it's not my responsibility to judge them for eternity, though, I'm not going to let the disparity bother me. Ultimately, I trust God is a fair arbiter of justice.I appreciate your thought out response.
