Comment on Angry At The World by Ane

I feel that way sometimes too and I hate it when people try to cheer me up, they just don’t understand that I just need to feel this way to be able to feel better, you know?

I think this is one of the reasons why I started blogging, somehow writing about how the world is screwed up or is screwing with me makes me feel a little better.

I hope you feel better soon, I know how tiring being sad can be sometimes…

I have also had that feeling lately and it’s about time I shake it and take control of the things I can and try and deal with the rest

Jeje,
I soooo agree with you—it is hard to have faith sometimes. However, just because Christianity doesn’t have all the answers, that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Nothing has all the answers—even atheism and agnosticism leave a lot of questions. God created the world, and He made it perfect, but when Adam and Eve disobeyed Him, sin came into the world. They became sinful people, and just as they passed on arms, legs, brains, and other human attributes to their offspring, they also passed on their sinful nature. Every human being is born with the tendency to sin (not that they can’t do “good” things too, but even the best people still sin). Because of that, there are evil things in this world, and people do horrible things to each other. That’s free choice. However, God is still in control, and even though He allows us to do these things, one day Christ will return at the end of the world and triumph over evil. That will be the end of all things, and justice will be administered. ALL of us sin though, so the only way we can escape God’s judgment is to trust in Jesus, who died on the cross in our place, for our sins. If we do that, then no matter what evil things happen in this world, we know that when He triumphs in the end, so will we.

I did believe in a higher power and also made my communion and confirmation. What I question is why would god let an innocent baby be born with horrible diseases, why would an innocent person get murdered?
Is it that God created the world and it is the human race that is ruining it? It is hard to have faith sometimes.

Hi Lisa,

What an open and honest post. I think at one time or another most have experienced these things. How do we believe in a God we cannot see? How do we believe in a God we cannot touch? How do we believe in a God we cannot hear? So many questions without answers it seems. Then one day I realized we can see God. We can hear God. We can touch God. Most of accomplishing these things are different for us all. I will state how these things came to me.

Of course through a lot of prayer, but when I touched a new born baby, I touched God. When I see a red-bird I see God. When someone tells me they “love me” I hear God. The reason for this, is because God is in all of these things and so many more.

Peace with God: Peace with God always depended more on me then God. God is always standing there ready to give us peace, but if we have say unforgiveness in our hearts there is no peace. If we stay angry or mad with someone, there is no peace. If we say mean and hurtful things to others there is no peace. Our inner peace has so much more to do with other things, outside of our trust in God. We have to try and be God in so many things in our lives, even though we are sinners. It is not always easy either.

As far as God killing and we killing: “Life and death are in God’s hands alone.” We never have the right to take a life He has created. When we do, we are playing God. Most of the time especially in the OT when tribes and nations were done away with, is because of the oppression of God’s nation Israel. These people were killing the Jewish people and this is the nation God had made His Covenants with. All that was done was for the coming of Christ. We must always remember God came as Man and killed Himself on the Cross for us. Suffering and death are a part of life, as much as life is in and of itself. God did not even spare His own Son of these things.
Another reason God killed was for sin and idol worshiping. God did not create us to die, but when sin came into the world, death came. He walked everyday with Adam and Eve in the garden. Think how His heart was broken when He saw what they had done. Even to this though He made them an animal skin to cover their nakedness. That is how much He loved them, even though they had just destroyed the humanity He loved and created.

Take it slow. God is a patient and loving God as long as we are trying to get to Him. I always trust when I am coming to Him, He will take care of my mistakes along the way. You will get there with prayer and one step at a time. God Bless, SR

Wow…really raw honesty…Good for you! Sounds like you have a really receptive heart. This is my advise, for what it is worth: Instead of listening to others opinions about faith, (Thousands of ideas…One Bible, One Truth, One True God.) Pray for it. Tell God. If He is really there, He will hear your prayer and make sure it gets answered. Pray for truth. God says we must worship in spirit and truth. You cannot worship, or love, or have a relationship with someone you do not know. So keep reading your Bible…It is His Word.

I read this..it might help:
“Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” (Heb. 11:1) True faith is not credulity, that is, a readiness to believe something without sound evidence or just because a person wants it to be so. Genuine faith requires basic or fundamental knowledge, acquaintance with evidence, as well as heartfelt appreciation of what that evidence indicates. Thus, although it is impossible to have real faith without accurate knowledge, the Bible says that it is “with the heart” that one exercises faith.—Rom. 10:10.

So…open your heart…but PRAY…ask, request, beg for Faith. HE WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS.

and…thanks for sharing. Very thought provoking and well written. All the best to you.

To hurt someone because you are hurting is hard to rebound from. Feelings of insecurity can actually get in the way if you do not deal with them, but being honest is all you can do.

If he wants independence, he should at least get a job, and work to pay for a car. But I understand your predicament, even though I’m not a mother,. You see, I feel my parents will have a hard time letting go of us. I guess they fear the lonelines of finally being alone, with empty bedrooms, and deafening silence, with just the two of them in the house, my Mom and Dad.
