Why didn't god save them ? Another example of it's indifference to human suffering. Used as an example to prove a point ?

He did, by bring them into heaven with Him. They're not suffering anymore.

@GodSpeed63 How do you know that?

Through His Spirit and through His Word.

@kodiac Yes, all rather sad. So many here going on and on about those who share their own beliefs being persecuted, and hoping/praying that they will be able to endure it when it comes. Not one shred of thought for the millions upon millions of others who have suffered persecution throughout history or for those suffering now. Such insular people, aware of nothing but themselves.
@SW-User this is such a nasty comment, really revealing your own hatred

@GodSpeed63 So everyone is supposed to believe it because you say it's true? Does god speak to you personally?
kodiac · 22-25, M
@Activitykittens It pales in comparison to the things that are said to people who question these stories. Your response is a good example. You call it hatred I call it the truth.

No, you believe because it is the truth.

Yes. He also talks to you if you'd only listen to Him.

@GodSpeed63 As usual the answer is just because. If i told you I'm the king of England and you have to believe me because i say so would you believe me?

Are you one that lies or do you tell the truth?
kodiac · 22-25, M
@GodSpeed63 I tell and seek the truth

@kodiac [quote]I tell and seek the truth[/quote]

I'm glad to hear that. Then, tell the truth.

@GodSpeed63 Your using my example out of context. Purposely. Why do i have to believe you just because but you don't have to believe me just because, you don't have proof, you have an opinion. For all you know i could be the king. You can't prove anything you say .

@kodiac [quote] you don't have proof, you have an opinion. For all you know i could be the king.[/quote]

I don't need any opinions of God's work. I've experienced Him in my own life and have given testimony to His work in my life. I am one that tells the truth regardless of what your opinions may be.

18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Romans 1:18-21

@GodSpeed63 it's impossible to have a conversation when all you have are bible quotes. What all of that shows me is once again you refuse to engage with anyone that questions your opinions. You believe you know but have no way to show me what you say is reality. Your truth is uour own ,it doesn't have to be mine . Your answer is to use passive aggressive bible quots to try to frighten me with hell fire and brimstone .

It's the Word of God and it's the only solid Truth we have in this fallen world.

[quote]you refuse to engage with anyone that questions your opinions[/quote]

I have no opinions where my Savior and Lord is concerned.

[quote] Your truth is uour own [/quote]

Nobody owns truth, not even you. The Truth is for everybody.
