[> Subject: Re: the little things Author: BIker Bob [Edit] Date Posted: 06:21:57 07/21/05 Thu I got that one and another that listed all the folks who ended up in 9-11 because of unforeseen turns of events. The plumber who had to fix a faucet on the 75th floor, The UPS guy delivering a package, the bike messenger who was sent to the world trade center, the law clerk serving divorce papers to a guy at work. I guess these folks all were being pulled into the event because someone was watching over them too. All the folks on the planes musta been really bad asses. You can see the flaw in the logic if you look. You can't have it both ways. The only rational way to look at things like this is that it is pure chance and nothing more. Nobody is watching out for you and nobody is out to get you. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: the little things Author: tim [Edit] Date Posted: 23:35:11 07/06/08 Sun death has no sting for those who put their trust in God and His plan for salvation through His Son. It is not God, but the enemy of God, who comes to "steal and to kill and to destroy". It is important to know that God's purpose for your life cannot be fully realized until you acknowledge Him and then learn to trust Him for everything. We fight the devil by staying positive about God's power to change us and to open the doors that lead to the new life that we can have in Him. We can have victory in every area of our life as we surrender our ways to His more excellent ways. How do we know the will of God for us? We open the book of Life and Read the last will and testament that God gave us; it is our inheritance! those who will step up and claim a place in God's kingdom by faith will be partakers of the divine nature that is available to everyone! you can: Believe it and Receive it, or doubt it and go without it!
