When a man deliberately harms someone,that man did not listen to a gut feeling. The man doing the harm knew he was not supposed to do what he was about to do and he ignored that inner voice.Blanton911 said:I don't think that all bad happens just because someone didn't listen to a gut feeling or voice.
I can't argue with that. But I would begin to ask God to make me more sensitve to the Holy Spirit so that next time, when He tried to warn me, I would hear it. Please don't get mad at me for saying that. It is still not your fault. It is the fault of the man your hurt you.Blanton911 said:I know I certainly didn't have any experience that made me the least bit uncomfy when I faced bad times. In fact, it was quite the opposite. I was really excited about seeing a friend I hadn't seen in a long time and hanging out with a few others as well. It was not until this guy was sitting down next to me already having his way with me did I feel any sort of idea that something wasn't right.
Of course not. I don't see anyone in here who said such a thing.Blanton911 said:I don't think God punishes you for something you did in the past either. Jesus died on the cross forgiving all our sins. God keeps no record of wrongs. He holds no grudges against us.
Well then, we can see that the devil saw you as a threat and it goes back to Good God and bad devil. The devils job is killing, stealing, and destroying. He tried hard. He instigated a man to accomplish it.Blanton911 said:That and the fact that I had just started going to a new church and was completely on fire for the Lord for the first time in a few months. Why would God say heh, you are coming around to me again lets do this to you. He wouldn't.
According to the word, when the thief is discovered then he must give back everything he stole. God has given us instruction on how to make him (the devil) do that.
I believe we've all agreed on that.Blanton911 said:What happened to me had nothing to do with me. And I feel that is the case with a lot of bad things. The one who suffers is the one who deals with the consequences of someone else's choices and mistakes.
Blanton911 said:However, even if something bad did happen, I know with no doubt that God is going to turn it to something good, no great. But that doesn't mean that what happened to me is my responsibility at all.
Nobody said it was your responsibilty. I agree, God works all things together for good to those who love Him.
