Everything happens for some reason, God is in control of it all. I'm disappointed with Christians when they act like they personally know such reasons, like they're able to see God's bigger picture. Essentially such are claiming prophet status for themselves. If we find out they're wrong about something, maybe we should stone them?
Thankfully, Christ means God no longer seeks judgement and retribution, but grace and forgiveness. Something many Christians like Kirk tend to forget when they get up on their high horses.
Stay safe RickD. I'd hate to lose our most active poster. It'd reduce the daily posts here by what? 90-95%?
