God Questions

When this life is over, whatever be my fate, I have a few God questions I'd like answered at heaven's gate. Why do some live long lives while others leave so quickly? Why let children suffer with maladies, so sickly? Does a soul choose its birth family? Will mankind ever live together peacefully? Is there truly a hell where bad people go to fry? What happens to animals when they die? I'll hold my thoughts for eternity if God would only answer, mercifully.

The Bible answers our questions if we read it through, research passages we don't understand, and pond on some verses. God is always merciful. I believe that every good and perfect gift is from above and if it is not good and perfect then it is from below. God made humans in perfection to live forever but man was lead away when tempted so man let Satan become the ruler and he is not good nor perfect and brings imperfection to this earth in all forms. Interesting lines you have penned. Sara

Hi Tom, thanks for reading my page. Wouldn't that make a good theme for one of those contests? I'm sure it would spur a lot of different spiritual perspectives and insights from the varied writers here.
