[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He does. He is in the form of an incredible sunset, a smile from a baby, a warm story from an elderly friend, that look between a man and wife during their first dance as newlyweds, the understanding ear of a friend.

God is alive and well and visible. We just need to open our eyes.[/quote]

Open thine eyes.  God is all around us, as listed above, and don't forget he's in the incredible mudslides that kill hundreds, a baby born without a brain, a terrifying story from a bag lady, that look between a man and wife as they decide to divorce and the conniving ear of a betraying friend.  The lord god does it all.[/quote]

Nice try, but those things are not God. They come from evil or negativity. God is only goodness, love, light, happiness. I hope some day you see Him in this way.[/quote]

Pray tell, how does a baby without a brain or a mudslide result from evil or negativity?[/quote]

These things and things like them are awful, but they may not be your lessons to learn. Have faith that there is a reason for everything, no matter how hard it may be to imagine. We cannot imagine; we are only human and of this earth, but one day we will understand.[/quote]

Let's see -- in the absence of a response from the person who made this statement ---- it may mean that "not your lessons to learn" means that [b]the mudslide is actually a valuable lesson  from God to those he selected for this particular event that he, being God, planned for the ultimate benefit of his beloved human creation.[/b]  Those would be the victims - now dead - and their loved ones - now mourning.  It's  beyond human understanding, but those affected, either living or dead, will understand once in God's presence.

As mere humans, some of us have trouble imagining how this could be possible, but those with faith in God can convince themselves of what seems like convoluted thinking and always giving a break to an unseen deity.[/quote]

Yes!  I understand that among the victims was a man who planned to secede (from ?) b/c the govt. was telling people where they could or couldn't build.  Like, they couldn't build under potential mudslides.  It all makes sense now![/quote]
