Does God Want Bad Things For You?
A question that I have pontificated upon before, but nonetheless a difficult question in life is: “Why do bad things happen to good people?” The basic premise is: If God is such a loving and kind God why is there pain and suffering in the world? It is a concept that even the brightest minds…

Are Your Decisions Based On Knowledge or Understanding?
Job 38:36: 36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? King James Version (KJV) Have you ever wondered how someone could purport to hold the exact same set of beliefs as you and yet seem to be on a totally opposite page? I have. For example –…

Are You In Your Comfort Zone?
So here is an interesting concept to me, people that are worried about their comfort zone. I was chatting with someone today who was worried that God would move them out of their comfort zone.

Further Considerations of Hell
Yesterday I left you with my belief that God, The God, The One True God, Jehovah God, created Sin. and that he actually allowed evil to come into existence by design. I also stated that I believe he did this by creating Satan (the Angel Lucifer) as a vessel of dishonor for the purpose of…

Hell: Fantasy or Finality?
A while back I had a post here in which I mentioned Hell. In that post I based arguments on some assumptions that were given’s up front in my discussion and I purposely did not offer a definition or an explanation of Hell for the stated reason that I wanted to revisit the subject of Hell in more…
