A while back I saw a video that was put up on a site that really disturbed me. It opened with several men with guns dragging another man through the streets. I dont have any idea as to why they were doing it. The man was begging and pleading for them to stop, even though I could not understand a word he was saying I knew this to be true. The man was so very terrified that he soiled his pants. My heart went out to this man as his mortified pleas were unanswered . He knew what was going to happen to him.
They dragged him into an alley, laid him in the dirt, and shot him. The first shot did not kill the poor man. In that video I heard such a scream of agony, it is imbedded into my mind forever. The pain he must have felt as the bullet tore through his flesh. The next shot did kill him , because it went through his head. His screams were immediately silenced.
The men in the video that killed the other man celebrated their murder. They were happy that the man had been killed. I do not know why, and probably never will, this happened. But whatever this man had done these man were his judge, jury and executioners.
This all brings me to something I found even more disturbing. On a facebook post I saw a quote by a leading preacher, Joel Osteen. It said that there was nothing that could stop gods plan for your life. Hmmmm
I think that if the man in the video had a chance he would say that gods plan for his life sucked pretty bad. God planned for this man to be executed in that manner? What a horrible plan.
What about a child that is molested and murdered by some horrible person? Think of the torture they go through. This is gods plan? Horrible, just horrible.
I know I know , insert free will. We can all make bad choices. I say make up your minds!!! Either god is in control or he is not. If I had the power to stop a child from being harmed I WOULD DO IT! Wouldnt you? or would you just sit back and think, " it is all part of gods plan", or the old bullcrap ,"god works in mysterious ways". What is so mysterious about watching children get tortured and killed?
If the god of the bible is real and has the power that you believe then he has the power to stop these things. But yet he does nothing, NOTHING, to stop these things.
If god knows what is going to happen and does nothing how can anyone claim that this is a god of love?
How can the plan for the poor man in the videos life be seen as a good plan. If nothing can stop gods plan for our lives then god planned for this man to be murdered in this fashion. God plans for children to be hurt.Are you still excited about gods plan for your life? Not me.
