Anyone who tells you its normal doesnt know anything about anything, there are many meaningg to the same dream depending on the person in question and the message.

Writing exams in the dream could mean

1. There are lessons you havent learnt yet and you must or you are going through the learning process again and again, you need to be very sensitive to know the lesson in question. Think about your relationships and carreer.

2. It could mean you are not living your life like you should. Sometime like a detrimental deviation from your life purpose. Think about your closeness to sinful activities

3. Sometimes it could means backwardness, especially when they are exams you have passed like common entrance or WAEC

4. It could also mean you are or will go through tests or trials anytime soon so be prepared

How am I bringing God down?

Rileey:
I am sure a lot of Christians just by reading the topic are already annoyed and are armed with their "repent from your ways and give your life to Christ," replies. But please I urge you guys to patiently listen to and try to understand what I have to say first, before you jump into conclusions.

The Bible portrays God as a loving and caring God who only has thoughts of good for his children. The bible says that God loves us all.

My question is this; If God loves us as the bible says then why does He allow evil to reign? Why does he allow his children, his people, to suffer and perish like chickens?
If God sees the future from the past, why does he allow some certain things to thrive, knowing fully well the mayhem and suffering such things would cause latter in the future?
Why does he allow pain and sorrow to continue?

Let me elucidate my point. Some of you here are mothers and some of you here are fathers. Now, how does it feel if your child is experiencing just a slight pain, maybe a head ache or a stomach ache? Or what if that child has an injury. Would you just stay still and allow that child to continue suffering in pain when you know you have the power to end it?

Why does God allow his creations to suffer for the sins of others? Or does He somehow enjoy the sufferings, pain, sorrow and evil in the world, cause I don't see any other explanation.

When you say someone is all loving and all caring, it means the love that person has should be greater than any other being. But yet, there are people who show love and care that surpasses the kind God shows. Don't get me wrong, I am just giving my honest opinion.

Now the saddest part of all this is the issue of hell. I am still trying to understand why God would decide to send his creations to hell just for committing sin. Why would a loving God allow his creations to suffer eternal torment, just for something as small as a lie. Even sins much worse don't deserve such punishment.

The bible says God is a just God, but his laws and ways are anything but just. Justice doesn't demand punishing a someone for the sins of another.
Justice doesn't demand punishing someone in the most sadistic and cruel of ways just for not believing in your son.

Ask yourself this question; Even if someone who isn't your child steals from you or does wrong against you and against what you stand for, would you punish the person in a cruel way? Would you be okay watching the person suffer just for
that? How much more your own child.

It surprises me when I see Christians open their mouths and say that people would go to hell if they don't keep to God's commandment. How does someone justify such punishment?
I wonder if people even sit and think.

Some people are born into cultures and religions where they have no say as to what religion they belong and they are groomed and trained in that religion till they reach adulthood.
How does one expect such person to turn from their religions and follow yours? And when such person doesn't turn from theirs, eternal torment becomes their destination.
Most Christians preach that God destroyed the world with flood in times pats and next, he will destroy it with fire.
This also gets me surprised because I still can't find any reason why Someone would be okay seeing people drown to death.
I don't know if you guys have seen someone struggle for breath as they drown. Do you know what it's like? How much more children and babies?
There were children when God destroyed the world in Noah's time and those kids suffered the same fate. Most of them didn't even understand what was going on, most didn't have a mind of their own, but God still allowed them to suffer such fate and He was okay watching them suffer and die.

Even in the old testament, a lot of God's laws and actions (which I don't want to go into) defies the adjectives used in defining Him.

absoluteSuccess:
My answer is, if there is no bible to read, would you be this bordered? You are bordered at human's thinking.

Also, I dont think it is God to please man, if it is your pleasure, believe him.

Now that you have discovered the weakness of God, correct it and God will cease to exist.
