I Am Christian

The number one argument against God always seems to be "If there's a God, why do bad things happen to good people?"

But God never promised to give us these ideal, perfect lives where nothing ever challenges us or tests us. After all, the Son of God and Saviour of the world was born in a stable and wrapped up in a burlap cloth. - What does that say? He is no less a king and no less powerful, and God certainly loves Him.

Its not about ideal circumstances where everything is perfect and we never have to cry, never have to struggle or never experience pain. Jesus himself said, "why hath thou forsaken me?" to show we ALL experience that point where we feel we're about to break.

Jesus was God in human form, an incredibly vulnerable state. But God walked among this earth, just like the rest of us to show: Yes, faith is enough and yes, I will never leave you nor forsake you.

I have learned through my pain and I'm strong because I have struggled. My faith is my greatest achievement in life and it grew because I had to LEARN how to trust God in EVERY situation.

If my life was perfect then I would have the same faith as an infant- never learning to walk in God.

Jesus wasn't God in the flesh.he was God's only begotten son.do you understand that.begotten means born.God has other sons not born of flesh.he was the only born.don't get it twisted

@Abbenthewolfserpent: You are wrong. The bible is the only revelation about God we have and that is why you are wrong.

@Dreammmer: you are stupid you better re-read what was written.not some recent interpretation just added.to make Jesus into God because he wasn't.go to the old testament book of Job.and see what it says about God's Sons.not some nis.version or some new American version but the original versions don't add to something.that wasn't said.but someone had the gull to change the ordinal to mislead like you are being.mislead .and blinded by doctrine of man.

@Abbenthewolfserpent: Go home and learn some manners before you engage in a discussion with an adult. And please learn some basic english grammar.
