If you have a hernia then according to your way GOD is trying to tell you something, karma? Maybe you did something wrong in your past?
Children paying for the sins of their father? I don’t know and I don’t have the answers, I do know that the God I believe in is kind and gentle not mean and to be feared like the bible states that’s all.
If you are having difficulty, according to your believes you screwed up some where and GOD is coming after you. I truly don't believe that by any means and you have every right to believe as you choose more power to you, the same goes for me as well that’s all. Please do not be upset as life is to short for that.
You see my ex is a fundamentalist Church of GOD Christian snake charming and all so I am kind of close to the subject as I get to witness her tell my 13 yr old she is going to hell for reading Harry Potter. Religion is kind of a sore subject to me, and there is no way on earth that the GOD I believe in would punish a child for reading a book no matter what contents or in it.
That’s all.
Merry Christmas and good luck with that hernia that is a painful operation...

You are mixing up "religion" and fanatics with following Christ and giving all glory to God. I was tempted to state my opinion of why you post the way you do but that would be judgmental on my part. I believe that if it's God's ultimate will for me to do something doors will open. However I do have the freedom of choice not to take advantages that are presented to me or the freedom to screw things up if I chose. Giving Glory to God is not giving up your freedom of will. Do you not honor and praise your father and mother? So where's the problem with honoring and praising God?
By the way you keep saying Merry Christmas so does that mean you do believe in God and Christ?
