The internet is a hard place for serious discussion..

and it is an easy place to get into pointless arguments. I do not wish to argue any point. I am just sharing what I have learned over many years.

In short I do not believe that sickness, disease, heartaches, suffering and all the negatives are God's will. But religion will tell you it is.

Papa God is good. There is nothing un-good in Him. He does not use sickness, disease, pain and suffering to teach us lessons. Life brings us many negative things. What the Lord will do is join us in the darkness and work to bring good out of it. He is able to bring good out of a bad situation even though He does not cause the bad or orchestrate it.

When going through those dark times it does not help to tell people to have faith or believe. They need friends who will cry with them ... stand with them ... comfort them ... help them with finances and material things ... and pray for them. And friends who will believe God to work and bring good things out of it all.

At least that's my take. I am not judging anyone who may believe differently.
