Hello ladies, I am really struggling with some questions and really having a hard time. there are things I simply don't understand and I don't know if I ever will. I've been a member of some groups in Yahoo for about a couple of years. They all seem like neat people and then all the news stuff started happening and I never heard so much condemnation in all my life. I joined the Blind conservative group and because of their bashing of a couple of people, my heart was starting to really break. I found that my heart was breaking over America and I keep praying for our country. As I prayed, I just started getting some questions. they are here below. I know that after this time of grieving, and seeking God, I will never be the same again. 1. How is it that people can say that they are Christians on one side of their mouth and out of the other side say all kinds of condemnations about people? 2. How does this condemnation lead people to the Lord? 3. when people say that they are Christians and talk damagingly about others, what does that say about our witness? Our true belief in God? Our desire to reach those whom we view as ugly, creepy, weird, criminal? 4. Do criminals need Jesus? why or why not? 5. What does God say about gosssip? Why does he say it? Why is it okay for the media to gossip? Why is it okay to gossip about high profile people and not the average person? What makes the right for these people to have privacy non-existent? what is the point of all the shaming humiliation, and what does God think of all this? In the media, where is the line drawn for gossip and facts? Please help? some of this really is making me struggle. I just don't understand how we can say we can be a Christian in one breath and be so mean in the next. that's not the God I know and love... I won't worship this flimsy god. what's good for one application is good for the other... That's the God I worship. Why is this effecting me so deeply? What does God want me to learn out of this? I have a heart for the lost and hurting people and what I'm witnessing really hurts. when I see/hear this stuff going on and it's interfearing with my email where my sanctuary is, what do I do with this? the news has been hacking people apart for years and I find that I've wept over the news and commentaries that flood my email box and I just want to weep. it's like God awakened a passion more inside of me. I don't think I'll ever be the same person. I won't be perfect until I go to heaven.
