Religion / Re: Why Aren’t Christians Better Off Than Non-christians? by mqf: 9:03pm On Jun 19, 2010
Religion is man made as God knows no religion.  He only knows that we are to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and with Him.

Why do we think that we are any better than Jesus?  He came down to earth as man and conquered sin.  He had to deal with the same things that we're dealing with today and WORSE; however, He conquered.  That's why He came to earth to show us that we too can conquer sin.  He gives us a choice and doesn't push Himself on us.  As He's a gentleman.  He gives us our own free wills. God sent Him here for one reason ONLY and that was to save us from our sins. Look at what He went through. It was a terrible thing and He didn't defend Himself because He knew what His purpose was. He shows all of us our purpose, but we have to take heed.

Our rewards are not hear on earth (worldly, man made), but our rewards will be in Heaven.  The scripture says that He went to provide a place for us and each of us will have a mansion.   We have to go through things to prove to God that we will trust Him totally and not man.

There are, without a doubt, battles and negative circumstances which God’s people must face, even as the unjust do. But they do not come from God. God gives only good gifts (James 1:17). So when He sends the sun, it is to bless, even the unjust. When He sends the rain, it is to do good, even to the unjust.

We were all born into iniquity because of Adam and Eve.  Sin is why we go through things, not God.  God doesn't know sin.

Study your bible, dissect it and you'll find your answers there.
