    Job

    Thank you. I attend church occasionally, but have mostly been put off by the atmosphere. There are of course, in all things related to humanity, a plethora of unanswered questions. I chose to make a thread off Job because, at first glance, this very popular story appears a few possible...

    Job

    I guess my problem is, I can't stop asking questions. I expect to find truth in the Bible. Because that's what everyone preaches. However, feel good messages and ear tickling aside, whenever I read the Bible for myself all I find is more questions. When I present these questions to other...

    Job

    You seem offended. I apologize as that is not my intention... however... You took two verses and added many assumptions taken to very far lengths and came to a conclusion that has nothing to do with the rest of the story... or anything I was asking... I'm sorry that I fail to see how that counts...

    Job

    My default position is that I don't understand God. I never once bashed God or anyone who loves him (which would include myself). I am merely asking questions that you don't seem to have an answer to. And that's totally fine... just means we are in the same boat.

    Job

    So, because they were enjoying themselves, and **MAY** have been sinning, that justifies slaughtering all of the kids. And all of his servants. And all of the animals. Got it. Thanks for clearing that one up. Or. We could just admit the story is screwed up and we have no clue why all of those...

    Job

    Those verses don't answer my questions. The only thing it mentions of the children is that they spent their days in 'merriment' and Job prayed and offered to God for them in case they were sinning. With so little information, we are left to assume a lot of things. However, regardless of what...

    Job

    I have been reading the Book of Job for a few weeks, trying to wrap my head around a few things. I asked christian friends, christian strangers, even a church leader, and always receive the same, uninspired answers. The most obvious question is... why does God allow Satan to do these things? I...

    Where is God?

    After falling and scraping his knee, as we were bandaging him my son asked me "mom, why does God let us get hurt?" My entire world froze at this question. I looked him in his beautiful eyes, but had nothing to say. I couldn't tell him how I didn't know. As his innocent eyes, full of tears...

    Say something nice about the person above you (3)

    No matter the issue, SK nearly always has something wise to offer, that not only seems well thought out, but also very heartfelt. You are clearly a gentle, radiant soul, and a pleasure to be technologically aquainted with. Thank you :wave:

    What's on your mind?

    Eh. I'm skeptical too. But let's use the word try instead of resort. Makes me feel better. lol I met a nice, younger couple at church who met online and it piqued my interest. I mean, the benefit behind meeting someone over the internet versus, let's say, the produce boy at walmart or the...

    Talking to a woman that's in a non-welcoming congregation

    I'm not really sure it's up to me to compare their likeness to a perfect being, especially since I don't even know them! but i think it's safe to assume they're certainly human! Which is how God designed us.. :scratch:

    Talking to a woman that's in a non-welcoming congregation

    I think any group of 2 or more people can be that way. Even unintentionally. I dont see how church is an exception? In fact, usually it is a shining example.
