I often wonder how much good prayer really does when I can't see its results. And sometimes people will use that as an excuse to not do anything.

I think I now realize where my anger is really coming from: feeling powerless and insignificant.

I'm sorry too. I'm usually shy and soft-spoken in public.

And I now realize I should've been clearer earlier by saying none of this personally happened to me.

After hearing about what my friend across the Atlantic was going through, I felt so mad that there wasn't much I could do beyond prayer.

They should've prayed he came to repentance.

Look everyone, I know I have a lot to learn, and I say things I probably shouldn't have. I often feel like I don't have a voice, or that it doesn't matter since I don't come from money and influence. Prayer alone just isn't enough sometimes.

Do I? Or is it just a heart that grieves with the oppressed and wishes they could take it away and see justice is served?

I could ask you the same question.

Now who's setting themselves up as a judge?

Thank you for understanding. I don't want to make excuses, but I have Aspergers and I have a different way of mentally processing things than most people.

People, I'm gonna leave this chat for now with one word. You do NOT know me. Don't even THINK you know what's going on in my head. I've been a Christian for 7 1/2 years. I had theology spoon-fed to me since I was born. I KNOW what I'm talking about. You all keep asking me what my mission is...

No. God is sovereign, but not in the way a lot of people think. He knows the outcome of things, but he's bound by his own law of love to allow for free will. God can restrict himself if he wants.

Excuse me?? Don't you dare think you know what's going on in my life and what I go through. You should read the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.

I at least didn't have to turn in my own father as a pastor I know about did. When he was told what his father did, he believed them. Do you know how rare that is nowadays? Can you imagine how devastating that must've been for him? But he didn't let his love for his father cloud his judgment.

No, we KNOW the reason. The prince of this world currently is Satan. When God created Adam and Eve, he gave them rule over the world, and when they fell, they gave that right to Satan. When God was saying to Satan about Job, "All that he has is within your power," he was not giving him...

Blasphemy isn't limited to one way of doing it. God cares about our actions, not just our hearts. People need to be taught that if someone is doing something evil in the name of God, they're really doing it in the name of the devil.

I've already repented for my sins. That's why I became a Christian. Like I said though, I may have empathy, but that doesn't mean I can always emotionally handle it. I don't think I could handle working at a crisis center. It would just make me more and more depressed when that's something I've...

I would BEG to differ about some sins not being worse than others. That is a lie and is not in the bible.

I feel NO sympathy or empathy for people who've been through tough things yet go on to do bad things themselves. Childhood abuse is NOT an excuse. No one is responsible for your sin. You and only you can make the choice, regardless of whether or not you've been abused yourself.
