Hello All!
Before I begin this post, I would first like to mention that I AM a believer in God, in His Word, and in Jesus Christ. But though I am a believer, I don’t know if I would call myself a Christian, because from my personal experience (I was raised around “Christians”, and my father was a preacher); many Christians seem just as bad as the people who they condemn.
I am hoping to find someone who I can have an enlightening exchange with, not someone who is going to sit on their high horse and talk down to me because my beliefs aren’t exactly in line with theirs. I’m hoping to find someone who can look at the world as it is…and not the fairy tale of how it should be.
I see the flaws in my ways of thinking, but my perspective is based upon things that I have witnessed and experienced.
I would very much like to find someone who could maybe…help to turn me on to a better path.
I guess…in a way…this is my cry for help.

When discussing the condition of our world with Christians, they very rightly give praise for all the good things to our Lord; after all, He is the creator of everything. But when discussing the negative aspects of our world, the blame is placed upon Satan; the blame is placed upon man and our “free will”. Sometimes “no one is to blame”.
The thing is this: man has many flaws and limitation, Satan and his fallen angels are powerful, but they too have limitations. So why is it that when bad things happen in the world, ALL blame is placed upon the flawed, limited beings; while the ONE being who is the creator of EVERYTHING, who is ALL seeing, ALL knowing, ALL powerful, ALL omnipotent…isn’t held the slightest bit responsible for any of it?
Thanks in advance for you input!
