WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS REGARDING THE PREVIOUS POST:

If you look at mankind, their lives have become shorter and sickness has become more rampaged because man can only handle so much of the stresses of this world's burdens, whether it be from doing things that we were not intended to do, or hanging out with people who do those things. Have you ever noticed that when you are stressed out, you have health issues/emotional/mental issues. God did not create us to do whatever we please. It is like the creator of the automobile. . .If you give the car watered down fuel, it will not function properly. If you continually take the car to rough terrain and don't maintain it, the car will eventually fall apart or break down. God was proud of his creation and if things hindered it from functioning properly, he would try to fix it or eventually remove what ever hindered it. God flooded the earth because of the poor condition of mankind and only saved those who he could salvage. He also did that throughout the bible; including to the Israelites. God loves his creation and continually tries to direct it to a way that would make it healthy being he is its creator. My point is, if we do what God requires we will live a much fuller life and if we don't, we will not do as well. Also, Paul who originally was a devout, knowledgeable Jew was chosen by God to direct the Gentiles in the ways of God. He only backed what Jesus and the apostles said. Paul taught to live a Holy life. God is HOLY. If you were to pray to God and ask him about all the things you mentioned below, I guarantee that He would show you what the truth is. . . IF YOU TRULY DESIRED TO KNOW THE TRUTH. God loves us dearly and really does want what's best for us. cg
