The world does have many ways to hurt us, especially when we have people we love. It does seem to me, though, that there's something changing in our world now...Melissa Jenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671992975667465476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34713524.post-59206047188401033692012-03-13T14:01:19.897-04:002012-03-13T14:01:19.897-04:00I agree that the world is filled with horror. I lo...I agree that the world is filled with horror. I looked at Joseph when he was first born – so dependant and trusting and helpless-- then realized that babies just like him are killed daily. Children are being slaughtered and have been thousands of years. People used to sacrifice them to gods by putting them on red hot burning hands of idols. Now women cut them to pieces and burn them in their womb. If we can’t even reign in the slaughter of our own kind, what hope do we have of saving the whales? <br /><br />Look at the horror once people are grown. The evil in a man who rapes a woman or who rapes another man in our prison system. Women and children who are in sex trafficking. People who farm their land only for dictators to take all of the produce and leave the farmer and his household to starve. <br /><br />You are right; there is something wrong. This world is full of sin. You are also right that there will be hell to pay. It is already written in God’s word. Sin will not stop until He stops it, and those who do not repent will finally meet justice. It is only by God’s grace that all of us will not perish for our sins.Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872162728186797477noreply@blogger.com
