The problem is that doesn't always happen.Their conscience. God works through our conscience as well as our hearts and spirits.

Maybe if he had accidentally pushed him into the pothole, he would have.I'm not suggesting that you should have sent flowers to the pedestrian in the hospital. But certainly you got out of the car, checked on him, waited until the police or ambulance came. This business owner apparently didn't to any of that.
This. My wife and I are 64 and have no health insurance. We pray every day that He protect us. He has been very faithful. He is the great healer.God is the best insurance you can have. Not only can he heal all manner of sickness.....but He can also prevent you from getting them.....
No, but as a business owner he is responsible. As I said before, a lawsuit here would be filed against the business but it is really against the insurance company.Maybe if he had accidentally pushed him into the pothole, he would have.
What I mean is that this wasn't caused by direct activity by the business owner, unlike when I hit the pedestrian.
The problem comes with the word "safe". The word has no meaning without a qualifier. In washington state it is illegal to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. It is otherwise considered unsafe. It is also considered unsafe to ride in a car without a seat belt.Again, a business is responsible to provide safe conditions. This guy apparently did not.
You are protected and you are healthy. I would suggest, Thanking God every day for these facts, as opposed to asked him to do what is already done.This. My wife and I are 64 and have no health insurance. We pray every day that He protect us. He has been very faithful. He is the great healer.
It's gotten to the point now where I "feel" like I'm showing a lack of faith when I even entertain the idea of getting health insurance.
Yeah, a guy I know used a weird turn of phrase a year ago. He was working on his live-in girlfriend's brakes and using his girlfriend's dad's old jack to hold up the car. It fell and crushed his ankle. He said he was going to sue her insurance company.No, but as a business owner he is responsible. As I said before, a lawsuit here would be filed against the business but it is really against the insurance company.
We do that too. As someone once said, "why should I ask for stuff if he's already got me covered?" The answer was, "he likes it when we ask".You are protected and you are healthy. I would suggest, Thanking God every day for these facts, as opposed to asked him to do what is already done.
I like it.We do that too. As someone once said, "why should I ask for stuff if he's already got me covered?" The answer was, "he likes it when we ask".
Our daily asking and daily receiving is our way of honoring his authority and done in the vein of "give us this day our daily bread".
You see, I believe that every human being enjoys the exact same lifespan. And we even have a word for that life span: Today. As Paul said, "I die every day". For us, every day is a new day. The old has passed away. It can be learned from, and the future can be planned for, but our actual life is "today". And the question to be asked every morning is, "Today is my life. What am I going to do with my life?"
I love the "christian love" people shown this guy by insulting him and calling him names as if hes stupid. If I read right hes older. The older you get, the more clumsy you get at times. And you're vision may not always be the best. Also maybe this happened at night? Or maybe there was a small coating of snow so he couldn't see the pothole? People have to be realistic and realize not everyone is as perfect as them when it comes to normal things like walking.
Side note, someone said hes just trying to advantage of the system. Well the system exists for a reason. And since hes older, breaking a bone or injuring oneself means you don't heal as well, or maybe not fully in general. So a small injury could affect your life.
Yes. I'm 64. And I confess that in our current culture the temptation is very high to listen to an ambulance chaser. But the bottom line is that the proprietor's insurance should more than cover it, and if they don't, well, that is when a suit may be in order. That is literally what insurance companies are for.I love the "christian love" people shown this guy by insulting him and calling him names as if hes stupid. If I read right hes older.

True, its not like he hit his head in went into a coma for months or something. But my point was more that people are calling him stupid and unintelligent for falling. It would be like me looking at you and say have you ever went over the speed limit? Ever swore? Ever got mad? Ever smoked? Ever lied? If so then your not very smart. See how rude and silly that sounds to call someone names over things that are just part of life (such as falling because maybe you didn't see a pothole).This is no reason to Sue.

So your saying you shouldn't ruin the lives of the business owner but its ok for the business owner to ruin someone elses life because they failed to maintain property? Lets say your walking down the sidewalk in Canada and a brick from a building just happens to fall off and smash you in the arm, shattering it and its not really fixable. Are you saying you'd be ok with that and not blame the building owner? Despite the fact your life is now changed?Just because they fell, they need to sue a family business for having a pothole? Ruin their lives with a suit? Just another American Suing to get something for nothing. Keep up the good work.
True, but that is between them and God. If we follow the ways of Christ, Christ will compensate us and he will deal with them in his way.The problem is that doesn't always happen.
