Trend, we all have the right to have differing opinions. But having an opinion that runs counter to the BELIEFs that most of us are speaking about here, will not provide you with eternal life with Christ. That's what the bible tells us will happen. ALL knees will bow on judgment day but Jesus will not say that He knew all who bows their knee. I would suggest you give that a lot of careful thought and consideration. Have a great weekend all.

Trend1, RE: War, Misery etc.

Here is what I have come to understand about this world/earth. It is full of opposites (has been this way and will stay this way). Heat/Cold, Joy/Pain, Hatred/Forgiveness, Jealousy/Compassion etc.

If there were no wars/killing at all, you will not come to know/value Peace! If there was no misery, how would compassion arise in someone? How would the urge to help others arise? Folks like Bill Gates are finding more joy/peace now doing philanthropic work than when he was making his Billions (sure his work helped him earn those Billions! :)

There is nothing "material" in this world that will give a Human Being "Everlasting/Eternal Joy or Bliss" that we are all looking for ... every material object gives joy only for a short time. True Bliss can be reached by having God in your heart and acting upon the principles outlined by your faith in him.

I agree with others on the board that those who commit these sins do not have God in their heart and hence perform these malicious acts unfortunately!
