I think it must've been difficult for them to follow through..

Perhaps it may have been a test on whether they will OBEY God above everything.Reminds me of whomever loves brother,mother,sister more than Jesus,is not worthy to be his disciple.

His commandments are difficult to follow!

I don't have an answer for your troubled heart.
Maybe some of us have to look into the face of pure evil, more than a few times, to understand why our heavenly father, has dealt with man the way he has.  That was certainly true for me.

Now I can't help but think how he must suffer,  to see all the terrible things we do to ourselves and each other. There are horrible unspeakable things happening to people and animals, all around the world. Evertday, 24/7.

I believe God feels all the pain of the whole world, thats allot of hurt he's endured, all through the ages.

Im gonna open up a very large can of worms, just to make a point. Lets take a look at just one of those horrors...

Abortion
Where is the outcry for such an unspeakable  slaughter of babies, done at the hands of their own parents. Who justify killing them by refusing to acknowledge they are human beings. Im thinking...The Biggest Genoside in the history of the world! This used to be one of my biggest tortures, until God opened my eyes.
Now he gives me the strength to endure and the promise and hope of the resurrection.

Try to focus on the truth of that. God will restore life to all of the babies who's lives have been lost.  Oh my goodness, who's gonna take care of all those babies :)

God is infinitely BIGGER, working from a vantage point we can’t even comprehend, with power to execute His plan so great no one can thwart His will for even a millisecond. The chasm that exists between His plane of thought and ours is too big for words to capture. In His unending wisdom, knowledge, and power He has planned all of eternity, from start to finish.

Isaiah 46:9-11
[9] Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me,
[10] declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
[11] calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it.

But consider this: Since 1973 Roe vs Wade, we as a so-called Christian nation have slaughtered 50 million (and counting) of our own innocents for no good reason.

Your so right Mike, but keep in mind these numbers only reflect the US. I wrote a series of articles on this subject a few years back, and the numbers are substantially higher.

Hi Octoberose
My presumption of George Bush is this. From Ray’s teaching on Tophet and Molech and my understanding. Ray refers to it as a modern day sacrifice to Molech.

He GB is one of many members of the powers that be of The Bohemian Grove. The self-sanctifying.
idol sacrificing,swine and mice eating worshipers of Molech, one of the deities of the idolatrous
Israelites and are a symbol of FAR GREATER SINS. Molech was referred to as the abomination
of the children of Ammon(1 Kings 11:17) and the primary means of worshiping him is the
SACRIFICE OF CHILDREN. Ray said Tophet of old is being brought back. ( Figuratively Speaking)

There is a list of members of this evil place in this study.

“ Let every soul be subject unto the Higher Powers, for there is no power but of God. The powers that be are ordained of God” Romans 13:1. ,,, including GB who’s motives I do not think are good.

For it is God which works in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure. Phil.2:13


Everything by design and all of God.
Sincerely and in Christ.....Pamela

Brings to mind what Paul wrote.  My paraphrase from memory.

"Who are you O  man!  Does the thing created say to the Creator, 'What are You making?' "

He is right, God gives life and takes life. [1Timmothy 6:13]
And though it is an awfulthing that seems like how Can God do such? We should still not ask.of him or expect response. Sorry for all those who God took child away. I was just reading today of two 10 year Olds who killed a 2 year old.  Sad. But only God.  He allows it.
God bless.

Well there’s a lot of truth on a little website called bible-truths , but I really would not put too much stock in a lot of what you read on the internet. For all it’s helpfulness , it can be very misleading . It all depends on the source .
