Welcome to Gaia! ::

If you are wondering if it is okay to get made about it and really defend god and debate his existance, then I say yes. (Watch out for Gendou though he might lock your conversation) Righteous anger is admirable. It shows you believe and trust in God and you are willing to say whatever is needed.

Our Job in on this earth was just to go out and tell the other people about Christ. If they don't want to believe us they don't need to. All we can do is Pray and God will do the rest... I've had problems like yours befoere. My friend kept telling me i wasa starving myself whenever i was fasting. One day i got so angry that i yelled at her. I told her about it and after that all i could do was pray. Just never give up your faith and keep praying to him becasue HE will always help you.

A good question to ask her is just how could God, who created us and is supreme over us, be scared of us, his creation?



Fault is a really bad way of putting it, but God does allow bad things to happen. Even then, he has a purpose for them.



If you two get to this point again, it'd be very good to bring up how when Jesus was in the garden, before Judas and his cronies arrived, how he was praying that if it was possible that "this cup might pass from me," but don't leave out how He wanted the Father's will, not His to be done.



Very much so, if you're passionate about something, you'll defend it will all your might. It's the same with God.



Don't get too concerned about her not listening. The important thing here is that you're trying. Don't also sell yourself short on how it may or may not have helped. You have no idea how much of an impact those words could have made.



A typical worldview I've heard of, you should really ask her why she feels this way.



First important thing is don't get too down if you didn't win her over the first time around. Also, don't try to force it on her. That's a big turn off, and it won't really help. The best you can do first is pray to God for help in what to say and for Him to work on her heat, so that she will turn towards Him. Also, if you're discussing with her and the topic is turning back towards there again, start praying for the Holy Spirit to help you have the words to say.

I pray for your success in bringing her to God.

ya im with them thats kinda what i was trying to say b4.

Im my opinion, your friend's problem is not with God; it's with herself. It seems that she may be scared herself, feeling lonely and confuzed. Instead of preaching to her, it would probably be best if you helped her work through her problems. Of course God cares. But it's hard to convince someone who is closed off because of their own problems. Once she sees that life isn't horrible, then she'll be more willing to accept the goodness of God.

Invite her to a movie, or go play miniture golf. Try to take her mind off of her problems and she'll eventually see the light.

hot_wheels_turbo_racing definitely has the right idea. I couldn't have said it better myself. ^^

Shame be upon you who got angry!

This is a person without the love of God in her life. We should be feeling great sorrow! She has to go through life without the wholeness endowed upon us by the spirit, without knowing that, no matter what happens, there is always someone out there who loves them. Can you all imagine what life must be like like that? Shame be upon you who were so judging and lacking in the love of Jesus.

Certainly, defend the existance of your Father, for such things surely make Him glad with you. Next time she talks about how if God cared, then bad stuff wouldn't happen, use this true story that actually happened to me. It has taught me loads about life.

I knew a girl who was, in every sense of the word, blonde. To be blunt, she wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. However, she was the happiest, most innocent thing you could have imagined. In the morning, she had gotten up a little late, and, while she was going to turn off her alarm, she stepped on a light bulb. That hurt. Alot. Well, she showed up to school that day with a big bandage around her foot. When we asked about it, we found out that some glass was still in her foot. When we, understandibly, asked her why she didn't take it out, she replied 'It hurt'.

Sometimes, what can hurt us in the short term (like removing that piece of glass) is good in the long run (like not getting an infection from leaving the glass in there).
