Job is interesting. I really liked the analogy you used. "Doth Job serve God for nought?" Job lost everything and never cursed God. I've always heard the analogy we are like clay on the Potter's wheel, or like Gold tried in the fire. The heat takes out the impurities. <br /><br />As for the bad things happening to good people. The Bible says the wages of sin is death, and we live in a world full of sin. I think the most comforting thing is <br /><br />Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (KJV)<br /><br />Good things happen to bad people too. Ultimately everyone will stand accountable for every action, and every word. <br /><br />Humans have free will, God can, but I do not believe He will force change upon anyone. He could have taken Himself off the cross, but He didn't. I guess there are some things we simply can't understand.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076283220215133943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108314857073991866.post-13497529966557426012011-04-07T07:52:07.983-06:002011-04-07T07:52:07.983-06:00I have a dear Uncle who left the church after his ...I have a dear Uncle who left the church after his mission for this very reason. He is one of the greatest and kindest souls I know. One day when I was reading Alma 14:10-11, I caught a glimpse of why God doesn't always interfere. I think a big part of our existance on earth is to teach us our own power to dispense good and evil to others and to show us by experience the consequences of those choices. Of course, the most potent "attitude adjuster" is D & C 122. Bad things are gonna happen; whether by design or accident. How we respond to our own and others misfortunes is all part of the test.Jacquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368827386130871645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108314857073991866.post-20646226808116123292011-04-05T13:06:54.302-06:002011-04-05T13:06:54.302-06:00I feel like we'll understand this more after t...I feel like we'll understand this more after this life.
