But your heart is in the right place Klugmo!
THE WORLD "IS" F*CKED UP!
AND WE
DO BLAME VICTIMS SOMETIMES!
The solution is LOVE.
And the church that should BEST EMBODY that love, the Church that Christ Himself founded.... unfortunately, is often more interested in politics, and choosing the right color carpet for the sanctuary, than LOVING OTHER HUMAN BEINGS!
Ryan, was literally PRAISING 110,000 DEATHS in Haiti, as if God had done that to them. Sans makes this same mistake on occasion, and SEVERAL fundamental Christians on here, almost sang a song one day, about how terrible a burning hell is, and that others deserve their fate there, for eternity, because they made a salvation prayer, and some other poor sap, did not.
That's not love!
The Bible has been misunderstood.
God is not some psychopathic torture lover, who keeps people alive MERELY so He can then torture them FOREVER, with no possibility of it ever ending.
THAT IS SICK!!!!
It is NOT God's heart... and I BLAME FOOLISH GREEDY ministers for this amazing error in understanding, which leads so many Christians into JUDGEMENT rather than LOVE!
How can you hate people, or think they deserve their fate, when what they have done was WITHOUT GOD IN THEIR HEARTS!
How could GOD HIMSELF judge them by sending them to an eternal hell, that "burns" but doesn't "burn things up"?
Of course they sin. Of course they commit crimes. Of course they hurt others, and are selfish pricks!
What else should they be?
God is not in their hearts, showing them the difference, guiding them, filling them up with love.
Without God, it is a miracle that EVERYONE doesn't just kill each other for entertainment.
We CANNOT be surprised that people without God commit sins. We should EXPECT it, and we should NOT judge them because of it, without FIRST offering love, and trying to bring them to God's throne.
It is God's love in you, that shows each of us, how HARMFUL selfish, sinful acts are. Without that love, it is FAR MORE DIFFICULT for THEM to see that. And we get judgemental about it with them? It's wrong. And I make the same mistake too often.
It's like judging a blind person for not being able to see whether something is red or green. He's FRIGGIN' BLIND PEOPLE!!! Of course he doesn't SEE the difference between red and green. He has a DEFICIENCY, which ENSURES that reality.
Same for the LOST who are missing God in their lives.
They are SPIRITUALLY BLIND!
They cannot see either, and have a clear defect preventing them from it!
The difference is, that defect is readily curable... NOW!!!
Unlike the physically blind, who may have to wait 20 or 30 more years, before modern science and tecnology can cure their handicap.
