[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]I'm pissed at you, so I hurt your children?[/i] Funny, to me it seems more like, "You get punished, and EVERYONE gets hurt in the process. So don't think it's just your life that'll get messed up if you screw up." [i]"obey me or burn forever" IS forced obedience.[/i] No, it's not. It's a frelling big favor. We WOULD burn forever, not as punishment, but as the natural way of things. God can not be in the presence of sin (Job being a screwy book that quite possibly shouldn't be there to begin with), and without God there is no life. Obeying God is the only way to avoid hell, and He set that up at massive cost to Himself. [i]Life is a blessing.. .provided you're not born with crippling defects or into an abusive household, or with any number of problems that AREN'T your fault.[/i] No, it's STILL a blessing then. All is in how you look at life, and apparently you're the more pessimistic type. [i]I will personally make sure you burn in your own damned hell if you try to pass this off as "God's will".[/i] Excuse me? Who said people dying was God's will? Not me. It's just the way the world is. "...and that's why God causes bus accidents..." [i]How dare you even CLAIM to know the thoughts and desires of a supernatural entity?![/i] Because he told a bunch of people, and they wrote them down. [i]You obviously haven't lived long enough to know what real misery means[/i] Wanna bet? There have been times when I would have welcomed death. Then I grew up and realized exactly the truth I've been telling you: life is a blessing, no matter what. Simply view it as such, and you'll be happy all your days. [i]No shit has hit your fan yet, but you have no idea how much I'm restraining myself from hoping it does, just to teach you some humility[/i] *L* Humility? You think [i]I[/i] need to be taught humility? The basis of humility is the exact concept I've been trying to get across to you! There are two ways to look at life: A) Humble guy: "I don't deserve life, and yet I have it anyway. Cool beans, no matter what happens to me." B) Proud guy: "I DESERVE life, with all the trimmings. If something bad happens to me, well, it must be GOD, treating me unfairly!" Still think I need humility? I'll take anything life has to offer with a smile, becuase I can't be touched. Humility leads to happiness in all things. :) [i]he certainly must also deserve the blame when life is a curse.[/i] The only time life is a curse is if you WANT it to be a curse, if you want to see it as one. Job may have been wrong about who was doing what, but he did get one thing right: "Blessed be the name of the Lord." I am ALIVE. I have the chance to spend eternity with God, instead of away from Him. How can I possibly complain for my own situation? [i]he can't only be responsible when they go right, and not when they go wrong.[/i] Sure He can. They go wrong when we take control away from Him. [i]for those who have lost family, the "blessing" would be the time you had with them, rather than the time you lost them. Is it better to have known someone for a short time, or not at all?[/i] Yes! Go, Liam! Regardless of Tim's former .sig, Tennyson got it right: it IS better to have loved and lost. [i]You view life as a blessing, but would you feel the same way if you were in pain, or sad, depressed, and lonely?[/i] What makes you think I'm not? Well, minus the "depressed" part, 'cause that's part of what we're trying to avoid, here... :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
