cancer

[a.baker]

Cancer seems to me that it is spreading more and more. An idea of the cause but yet a mystery. My husbands cousins dad is diagnosed with cancer in his brain so he a short few months left to live ( there is a different story with this man). This police officer at work has stage 4 cancer around a vein thats in his neck so it is inoperable so he has a short time left to live. Very sad too; sole provider for his family of 4 children and wife. Another lady at work just got operated on for breast cancer. My grandma was just checked for breast cancer. She has already had it twice. And more people I hear of all the time that I do not know personally. All of these that I mentioned up top were all within the last month! :(

All evidence of a corrupt and fallen world from Adam, and getting worse imo because Satan knows his time is short.
We have lost my mother and a close friend lost his wife to cancer and i have another friend that may have it. :(
I was going to start a thread about faith, "who is right." this might be a good place to talk about it.
On one hand you have people especially in this country preaching up a storm about how that if you have faith and trust God He will protect you and keep you from sickness and disaster.
On the other hand you have people in other countries like China that are probably as Christian as you can get being tortured and killed for their faith in Christ.
So who`s right, imo i believe that we`re going to suffer in this world, Jesus said that we`re not to find it strange that we suffer, that He suffered before us.
What about the disciples, they all believed who Christ was and all suffered terrible deaths.
Does God heal, yes, does God help us, yes, are there guardian Angels, yes but only if it`s Gods will for His purpose.
I could use a little understanding of this topic myself. :scratch:

Many do not realize that much of what is promised and spoken of are eternal, not earthly, issues.

In eternity we will all be health, wealthy and wise. Happy beyond current belief.

So we have to keep our perspectives correct.

Yep, ITW, the sins of Adam are running us down genetically. As are Man's added destructive actions against, self, others and nature.

We are a greedy race and are paying for it.

Man doesn't learn, just gets worse, so the impacts on us get worse. God blessing are in relationship to our relationship with him. Man's relationships is gone or disappearing, so God's blessings are being withdrawn.

Not going to get better until the MK. No way.

Any trial or tradgety we go through is to help make us stronger and bring us patience. God is always there to help bring us through if we let him. When our faith is really strong and we Really believe and know the situation is in Gods hands and we know HE IS TAKING CARE OF ME IN WAYS THAT I CANNOT SEE, God will do just that. All things are in Gods hands and he does not have to prove himself to anyone. He wants us to trust him in ALL things. He already paid the price, we must believe

I know we are to suffer things in this life to make us stronger Christians. The refiners
fire makes gold ever more pure and perfect.

Still, my heart breaks to see anyone suffer.

My greatest prayer is for God's time to be
accomplished and for Jesus to return. That's
the only perfect cure for the ills of the world.
