I believe that God ordains everything to happen so in a way I think he sends the pain whether that be from him or through the fact that he gives Satan power to do so. In the end all things on this earth start and end in Him so he's ultimately in control. But I definitely agree with the fact that pain is a consequence of original sin. It comes with our humanity.Davey Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857484459995322673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713445415482808162.post-62442288814208081702009-01-30T10:40:00.000-06:002009-01-30T10:40:00.000-06:00Very moving and thought provoking.

Anyway-I think you make a great point about Christians believing God can only work through the church puts God into a box and attempts to limit Him. I think it's cool your friend had a powerful worship experience at a secular concert (I've had similar experiences) - and that you were challenged by a secular movie. It's such a testament to God who cannot be limited by ANYTHING man does and who can transcend and use anything for His purpose as well.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361917419492720195noreply@blogger.com
