@JoyfullyDazed It's like all these people who look at someone profoundly disabled and say, "God meant you to be born this way." WHAT??? What kind of God is that??? No, He did NOT! Even from the point of view of the Bible, sickness is the result of SIN, not God's plan at all! Makes me so angry.
@JoyfullyDazed Exactly!!!! 😡
@JoyfullyDazed @homebird
Their "logic" is fucked. To say the least.
@homebird If it's any comfort, sickness is *nobody's* fault.
John 9:1-3 NIVUK
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’ ‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned,’ said Jesus, ‘but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.'
I guarantee nobody who behaves as these people do are even *aware* of it.
@stueytheround @JoyfullyDazed Exactly, Stuey. Neither him nor his parents!
@stueytheround @JoyfullyDazed Again though, that gives me problems. "That happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him." Now I believe in God, but that poor man... he had to be like that for God to show the world he can work a miracle? Doesn't seem fair.
I agree, Stuey. Babies are born sick, children get sick, and definitely not bc they sinned or deserve it. Nobody deserves it.
I've had medical problems since I was 17. I have a rare autoimmune disorder that doctors really knew nothing about. I have never said why me and I hate pity. As one of my doctors said to me, because of you, we can help so many people. That's all I ever wanted. I didn't get sick bc I sinned. I got sick, that's it. Better me than someone else.

Using their logic, God must not love children, since he didn't save them from shooters at school.
