[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A child with cancer.  How is that caused by anyone's free will?  So what happens, that piece of crap-tastic life experience is handed out just so someone can say God will bring them through it?

I don't buy it.  Someone certainly hands out more than a lot of people can handle, and it isn't all caused by another human being.[/quote]I won't try and debate you but I can tell when someone has not read  scripture and goes by emotion and feelings.  The earth and its people were corrupted by the initial sin by Adam and Eve and everything since then has been corruptible from emotions, intellect, physical.

Whether you buy into scripture or not, that's up to you but anyone who has ever read and studied will understand what I'm talking about.  We all deal with the emotional aspect of your example of a child with cancer.  But since you have already decided that scripture is something you will not buy nor read nor study, then no one here will be able to answer your question from a non-spiritual view, only a self-conceived answer and there will be plenty of those in differing opinion.  Spiritually based posters are on the same wavelength, and that's because our answers are derived from scripture.  No other explanation is plausible for us.  It is by choice just as it is for an atheist, Buddhist, Islam, Hindu, Judaism.

Your decision of what you believe (or not believe) was made long before you posted here.[/quote]

OP here.  I don't really understand this post.  I don't relate to the idea of original sin, sorry.  I'm not trying to be disrepectful to your views, but I don't believe that any religious person or spiritual person will relate to this.[/quote]I don't take it as being disrespectful, not at all.  However, if you are not familiar with the bible then, yes, you won't understand my post.  And a person who does understand the bible WILL relate.  It's about what you understand and what you believe as a Christian.  There are certain tenets of the bible that cannot be changed by debate.  However, I have debates about the age of the earth which I believe is far, far older than a mere 6000 years, and I justify that by the words 'In the beginning' which does not define time by our definitions AND I believe in science.  Let's save that for another thread. :)

But there are biblical tenets that define concrete biblical beliefs and that won't be changed regardless of what I or you believe.  If you don't relate to the idea of original sin (I remember that from attending 12 years of parochial school, now non-denominational attendee), then you are most certainly entitled to your belief.  And I'm most definitely fine with that.

If you want to debate, I'm all for it.  But just as I will accept your opinion that YOU don't believe  doesn't mean that WE, who find solace in the Word, are wrong, dumb, or grasping straws.  You are entitled to your beliefs as we are.

Your question is answered by believers and non-believers.  Take what you will from both if you so desire.[/quote]
