Well see, now that borders on free will. 

Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails. 

I realize the need to be prepared and to be careful, and that's good.  But I have gone overboard in an attempt to keep anything bad from ever happening, only to wind up super depressed, anxious and worried over something that may or may not happen.  Anticipating and planning to counteract something bad, always seems to contradict this verse:   

Phil. 4:8 whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Not judging.  I realize there are places in this world where people live their entire lives looking over their shoulder for no other reason than they have a different skin color.  I'm not talking about that.

Maybe God wants us to see that life in this carnal world is pointless

Joel:
I can understand where Ray is coming from when he said there is a big, big difference between "Thou shalt not kill." and "Thou shalt not murder. "
The death sentence is no doubt the best verdict in some cases in judgements.
There is the case of Ananias and Sappria in Acts 5. Pretty stiff sentence for lying.
Ecclesiastes 3:3
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
Then there is Genesis 9:6
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

I personally don't like killing, don't even hunt. But I don't have a problem with anyone that does, and goes about it properally.

Rito1980 & friends,

But life in this carnal world IS NOT pointless. There is a great lesson for all, even for those that are not yet called. They are learning every day that they are weak and incomplete without God in their lives and when they finally are called all of this history and knowledge will come back to their memory and quickly convict them of their need for God. Then we will be there to guide them into all knowledge and begin to build them up into a work of God as has been done for each of us.

Maybe what Rita1980 meant to say was temporary. If it was pointless I would have ended my life years ago.
