When you criticize a person, you are supposed to understand him.

Jesus asked, will a king charge his own household? The answer was, they charge not their own.

Those are red herrings that are totally irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

You meant GOD could do nothing to the injustices? No, not that I knew that HE couldn't. It was perhaps he loved not bloodshedings.

Spiritual people's lives are subjucted to the same forces and laws. They aren't inmortal nor live surrounded by miracles. Why would they have to pay less inssurance?

They should be a lower risk to insure than the general public, since God is looking out for them.
Thus they should pay less for insurance.

Why is no one upset at this obvious injustice?
I didn't have health insurance for 6 decades until the Obama thingy...I pay near nothing
just so I don't have a penalty at tax time.

I have complete faith in God...having insurance projects doubt in Him.
"Yikes, What if...?"
There're no 'what ifs!"....He is my complete protector in every way...even when I
get distracted and fall or swerve...He protects me...why would He stop NOW!?

I also know I am different than others and many think I am nuts...well, guess what?
I think they are nuts for not relying on God, the Creator and our Beloved for 100% of
everything...remember for newbies here...He gave me
that $100,000 to pay off my mortgage and that isn't even close to the most amazing things
I could tell people...but they seem to relate to that story more...

Believers, and lovers of God...have no doubt, rely on Him for every little bit
of minutia in your life...just for ONE week...and see...'Do not worry, Be not afraid,
Cast your cares, Give him your burdens, Be anxious for nothing'....or don't....
your choice to actually trust and implement what Jesus advised.

Trust.

I agree.

But try telling that to the folks who believe that prayer works and who believe that God has performed miracles in their lives.

Continued:....I used to complain of a hip injury...
my atheist boyfriend smiled one evening and said...'You're a Christian...why not heal yourself?''

Lightbulb!!! Yeah! Why Don't I !!!?

So I did. Read every single thing I could get my hands on on healing....Why do
some people get healed and others don't?
Why do some get healed for 10 minutes?
Why do some lose their healing?

So I went to a Charismatic church and BINGO!...That was July 2009...I
can show you squats and bending and all sorts of hip movements...haha.
just getting out of a restaurant booth and walking! With no limp!
6 years later!

Trust in God folks.

Are you being serious, or is all of that a parody? I honestly cannot tell.
