I guess I am fortunate..in that, I'm alone but I don't get lonesome or depressed...I enjoy people, but I also enjoy my alone time. I have many friends, and this makes a difference...I also have a daughter with whom I am very close...though we live 600 miles apart.

The Boble is without error in that it proclaims the truth whether te truth be pretty or ugly...we need to digest that the Bible is the truth and he Holy word of God and embrace Hi as a loving Father who created man out of His need, then we might be able to glimpse ourselves as we really are. If we could resist linking God to the elements of this world and accept that it s us who committ adultery, who rob and kill and it is us who deny the poor and rob ffrom each other and ththt those things like seeds once planted, they give birth to fruit of its kind...When are we going to stop blaming God for the poverish things we are committing against each other and ourselves? Deuteronomy 28 is very explicit and clear on God's promise to us as to His actions that will take place bases on our behavior... God's word when released manifest itself accordingly...He said I set before you life and deth...chose life...He gave us a test and then gave us a clue to the answer...chose life...However, some chose life and some chose death...It is clear to me that my decisions promote results that are product of my actions...God is holy and we must behave in the manner that glorifies His character, personage and that is all there is to that...So when I read the Bible, I search for what God has to say about what I have done, planing to do and what I feel...As I read His word His word is either convicting my heart or His love is lighting His love upon my heart as a sign of His approval... One fo thena many wonderful things about God is He knows we are ignorant of the way , yet through the death of Jesus ,His love and mercy are extended toward s us and we are granted grace to see and come into the light... God is not responsible for our decisions, He gives us the choice to go left or right then if we go left and find out we went the wrong way,, His love directs us to the right...What moe can we say than that He is good and His mercy endures forever...Thank The Lord

Hi RosaHG...You made some very good points. I would like to comment on just a couple of them. I liked your question:"When are we going to stop blaming God?
There are many people in the world who feel that somehow God is to blame for the plight of the human family. They may feel that when God made the first man he knew what the outcome would be and, for that reason, the sin, suffering, wars and death that overwhelm humankind are a part of his will. When death takes a loved one, they resignedly say, ?It is the will of God.? And many calamities are termed ?acts of God.?
But the Bible clearly shows that God is not to blame
Having created the earth and the plant and animal life upon it, JehovahGod specially beautified a portion of it in Eden, and in these delightful surroundings he placed Adam and his lovely wife Eve. They were perfect, the crowning earthly creation of God, all of whose activity is perfect. ?After that,? the inspired account relates, ?God saw everything he had made and, look! it was very good.??Gen. 1:31.
Every provision was made to supply the needs of man. Surrounded as he was with these loving provisions of his heavenly Father, man was given the opportunity to demonstrate his appreciation for them by willing obedience. ?And God also laid this command upon the man: ?From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.?? (Gen. 2:16, 17) But Adam did eat of it, and he died. Does that not prove that man was imperfect? One who is perfect cannot do wrong, some may reason
.But they forget that man had the divine gift of free will. Had man, endowed with free will, been unable to choose bad, that ability to choose would have been incomplete, hence imperfect. Therefore, the very fact that man could choose either good or bad argues, not that he was imperfect, but rather that even in this respect he was perfect.

Hi RosaHG....I didn't have enough room to enter all of my response. So this is a continuation of the 1st response.
His sin resulted from entertaining wrong desires.?Jas. 1:13-15.
In Eden it was the Devil that led off in rebellion against God, and man followed. So today it is Satan the Devil ?who is misleading the entire inhabited earth,? and man has followed in blaming God for all distress and in ignoring His Word, the Bible.?Rev. 12:9.
Almighty God is the Author of ?every good gift and every perfect present.? He lovingly gave the first man a perfect start in a paradise home. When man sinned, God?s goodness did not cease. He mercifully made provision for those of the human family yet to be born to have opportunity to gain what Adam lost. By means of His kingdom, for which all Christians pray, he will see that those evildoers, including the Devil himself, who are to blame for the woes of man will be cut off. ?But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.??Jas. 1:17; Ps. 37:9-11.
I hope to hear from you again. I joined this site back in March...But I still don't understand it. I will be checking my message board to see if I get any replies.
