I really hate all the pain and suffering, seeing people in the world with no hope, who don't even know what awaits them! I hate knowing that me, a most wretched and miserable man [and i say this with honosty, i am horribly carnal and wicked] can know the truth of God and yet all these people, God has not yet called. Why me? You know.. why me? What did i do, i'm nobody.. nothing great, i'm infact so unworthy it makes me stomach turn to think that i do know God and they don't.. its not fair.. it just isn't. I hate seeing pain, suffering, i hate it. I absolutely hate it, sometimes i cry.. when i see others crying or i hear the torment in their voices for the things they have suffered and all the while they are without hope because they know not God... or atleast they THINK their is no hope.. yet i KNOW their is and THEY SUFFER and i feel almost like its MY FAULT if i hadn't been here, maybe someoen else would know, and than maybe they wouldn't suffer as much...

Hello Alex,
If one day you should judge such people,
I know that it would be with a tender heart.
Don't hate, what God has blessed you with,
Take care brother.

Hello Anthony,
Maybe or Maybe not there is a better word than hate, of course it's difficult to deal with many things in life that annoy us and are repulsive.
1) what really annoys me or I " hate " is when you try so hard to please other people and you insist to them that you did your best according to your personal circumstances and they act as if it's not good enough. Like Julius Erving said: " Your only as good as your last shot " That quote doesn't directly relate to the above, but those same people, when you do something nice for them, they easily forget what you did last week, it doesn't count anymore. This goes to show, you can't please other people, in general. This scenario hits a nerve for me.
2) Also, a person that deliberately attempts to provoke you to anger, with alittle half smile and a smirk on their face and are relentless in doing so, that hits a nerve.
Example: The original Rambo movie where he's traveling through a small hick town and minding his own business, attempting to purchase a meal and this arrogant Sheriff persists in pushing him; Well some of you know the rest of the story.
Kind Regards, Samson.

Hi, folks
Just wanted to share some of my thoughts. What I'm about to say is not directed at anyone. This is just about Dewey.
I don't hate God's plan. I don't necessarily like it, but no matter what I see, feel, do, hear or whatever Ray has shown me that it is the plan of God. Dewey believes in suffering in this life. And also believes that if anyone doesn't then they've been fooled. It's gonna be. And I think that this is a pretty good example of suffering to the end: the example is Jesus Christ himself. Now, he suffered to the very end. Should I expect anything different? and that can be a very tough thing to believe in - suffering to the end. I believe that I have been called and I accept the truth with the help of God at every opportunity that is presented to me. It looks to me like the best that I can hope for while I'm still cardinal.
I say, Dewey, don't expect more than what has been given to other people and you won't be disappointed. I too feel sorry for the people in 9/11. I feel just as sorry for the people that didn't get on the ark with Noah. and sometimes I even feel sorry for myself; but I don't dwell on it for very long. For me what works when I feel sorry for myself is simply saying "Satan get behind me in the name of Jesus Christ". And Father, please give me the faith to believe that it is done.
There are a lot of things that people were close to Jesus Christ could do; heal the sick, raise the dead, walk on water. Being able to forgive for me is a tough one. Am I getting the short end of the stick here or what? why is it that I can't do these things? Of course I know the answer; could it possibly be lack of faith? or maybe doubt. and then I think Dewey, go read (Luke 7:20) When the men came to Jesus they said John the Baptist sent us to you to ask were you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else? Was that lack of faith or was it doubt?
Check this out. (Matthew 27:46) About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice "Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani" - which means My God, My God why have you forsaken me? Was that lack of faith or doubt? I don't know - maybe those two words have the same meaning. but when I start wondering why this and why that, Dewey starts thinking if it could happen to John the Baptist and Jesus Christ who am I to think that I shouldn't stand the same trials and tribulations as they? And I don't expect anything to change as long as I bleed. That way, I won't be disappointed.
love y'ans
Dewey

I think knowing that what you thought was a "great city" is actually "Sodom and Egypt." I mean it is hard to trust and be confident in what you think you know after an event like that. It is like starting all over again. Very humbling experience.
