There Is A GOD!

Personally, I think its just pure luck. So if all those people would've died, or say, people that were in those same situations and died, would've proved what?

Sounds like bollocks to me.

I am the only one who is not yanking your chain...the rest of these self-righteous nay-sayers here obviously do not know the Lord, nor care to make an effort.

Critter, I don't necessarily disagree with you. But this is hardly the appropriate place to witness. I too agree with the people who questioned your outlook on those three stories. For example, 3 people were shot in the back of the head, execution style in New Jersey. Somehow, a 4th survives. Are you implying the survivor was in good with God, and the other 3 must not have been? That is what I am interpreting your reasoning as being. You are correct, in my opinion, that nobody can comprehend what He is up to and why things happen the way they do. But you said, "none could fathom comprehending". Then how the hell can you announce the 3 stories are divine miracles? Maybe they are, maybe they are just damn good luck. But anyway, the point is, this is not the place for you to share your religious philosophy. It has nothing to do with Colombia, despite how you want to spin it or rationalize. Get on a Christian, or better yet an agnostic blog, and have at it. Most of us are interested in topics while on PBH, pertaining to: Traveling to Colombia, living in Colombia, Colombian women and men, Colombian politics, Colombian real estate, business in Colombia, etc.

Wait just a minute there RJ! First, you are correct in saying that it speculation whether or not they were miracles...I personally believe there are. However, for any of you to say Christian beliefs or religious philosophy has no connection whatsoever with Colombia, a latinamerican country that dominated by the Christian faith?? Is that what you are really saying??? 97% of all hispanoparlantes consider themselves some sort of christian (94% of them are catholic). Talk about hypocracy!!!

Here is the part about God discussions that always amaze mw. Almost everytime someone begins a negative talk about God it is the Christains God that they are talking about. Rarely if ever do you see someone start putting down Islam or MUslims or Hindus or any other relisgion, it is always the Christan God that gets slammed.
Like I have said before many times anything that goes wrong in this world from a collapsed bridge to a war to a hurricane to cancer to whatever, anything negative that happens can be blamed on one of the following.
1. George W. Bush
2. United States of America
3. Christain God

Don Cordazzi,

I appreciate you appreciating me. So, are you telling me that you "believe that there must be a God", but you don't believe the scriptures that tell us to "go out and spread the gospel (good news)?" Do you realize that you are telling me to not care about the salvation of others? Sorry, but I do care about of them...even if they could give a cockroach's posterior about me. Tell me something, Don C...have you ever had the pleasure and honor of being filled with the holy spirit??? It's truly incredible! No words could explain it or give it justice, but it is inmistakeable and unforgettable. I hope all of you open up your hearts enough one day to experience it. It will change you forever, for the better! I promise you that much!

And, don't worry...you won't have to judge clavito for committing blasphemy...but you are obligated to tell him the truth about the consequences. MC is a christian but likes to try his luck at "shock affect", another poster thinking he can match wits with el modefoque infamoso on this website.

Critter, I give up. You are so lost in your own world, you have no clue what's going on around you. I wasn't putting you down for your faith. I even said that in my post, in not so many words. I was simply saying this isn't the place for your diatribe. You called out anybody not positively supporting your views publicly here, by saying: "you call yourself Christians, shame on you." Get a clue buddy. Not everybody that is a member of this site is on 24/7. Some visit a time or two a month. So they should be "shamed" for not instantly coming to your defense? Codazzi summed it up pretty well. You alienated me, and I am on your team, so to speak. I can imagine many people who are on the fence, or open to new ideas, are now turned off totally because of your spew. So congrats. Do you think you accomplished something positive for Christians and non-Christians?

Lencol, if you turn your back on Him, He will most assuredly turn His back on you! Furthermore, God keeps His promise when he says, "If you do not protect the innocents from bloodshed (abortion, murder, starvation, domestic violence, child molestation, sexual abuse, rape & incest, drug and alcohol abuse, debauchery, homosexuality, and yes, gambling too), then I will not place a hedge of protection on you!"

And the 'reasons' you give to claim there is a god dont make sense to me, so what do the other three ppl that got shot in the head 'execution style' (oh such amazing journalism) prove what?
