Just a Movie
lauriellen:
thanks all for your comments. I do think it was easier to think that the devil was responsible for all the evil in the world...lol. I do get, with my head, that God is working out a purpose with all this evil, but with my heart, a mothers' heart, i would give my life to spare my children pain & suffering, .... i do get that sometimes children do need to learn the hard way, but i have never been good at tuff love...lol.
Yes, such a hearbreaking scene to see the man loose his faith in God, because i do know what that hurt feels like.
i do believe that it will work to the good, and someday we will think what we suffered in this life isn't even comparable to the goodness God will give us, but i don't think i will ever feel that way in this life....my heart is too hurt....;)....but then again, God is in control and does what He wants to amoung all men. =)
have a great weekend everyone.

Having been faithless, all I can say it that it sucks. If a little is all I ever get, I'm thankful for that much. We're not called to enjoy but to rejoice, and that takes faith. I never want to 'fake-it' for public consumption, but privately sometimes I just have to 'reckon it so'. I'm guessing the Hatfields AND the McCoys said 'reckon' every once in a while. :)
Didn't see the movie. I probably would have concentrated on a different aspect--not to say it's more valuabe, it's just where I am.
Isn't it at least a bit encouraging that 'we' can see a 'movie' and think Spiritual and true thoughts? I think so. Just need to make sure they are 'true'.
Oh well, if GK can ramble, so can Dave.

Hi lauriellen, I didn't get to see the whole movie but what I saw was interesting. I reckon :) if McCoy lost his faith what he really was losing was all his churchin? I suppose he came to a place in his mind that we all have to get to at some point and that is to be broken down and crushed in all our understanding and reasoning so the new and true foundation can be laid and built on. Even if that faith losing experience is also a life ending one there is still hope for us in the resurrection.
"no just God would allow that to happen."
I wonder how many times that line has been used. How many have lost their faith or given credit to the devil for what seems impossible that God would cause to happen to us. We are all putty in the hand of God and He smashes, squeezes, molds, builds, destroys and kills us as He pleases. That I know without a doubt. If that sounds a little bitter well, I am.
GK, I don't find any of your posts "stupid" if you do, hope you get over it and keep on posting cause I like to read what you have to say and enjoy your rants and ramblings cause I can relate to your anger and disagreements with God.

1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
we should take solace in the comfort of the scriptures...really there are so many things we wont know NOW except for the few that's revealed through God's spirit working in his true servants. how be it in the coming age the earth will be filled with the Knowledge of G[size=78%]od[/size] just as waters covering the sea...i know He will accomplish it- best regards to all BT members Olasupo jacobs
Ps: Movies are good sources of getting other peoples opinions and belief...never the less they can only convey half-truths as most other media outlets are, they keep re=echoing their sponsorer's belief or opinion

i hope i copy and pasted this study of ray's correctly. if not, it is listed in his audio recordings.
i wanted to include it in this thread because it is all in there. really. i listened to this audio of ray's again last night and was amazed at how many, many truths are contained in it.
lauriellen, gk, dave, et al; i encourage a re-listen or a first time listen to this audio teaching. i pray it will be a comfort to each of you and to all who read it. it sure was for me.

p.s. when i started listening again to this audio, i must admit, my heart sunk and then bounced like on a tramboline, when i heard ray's voice again. what a dear brother. :)
