Why Does God Allow Suffering in the World? by Robert Thomson
Evil, pain and suffering are never far from us. Why does God allow it? Can a loving God allow suffering? Why does God allow suffering? How do we reconcile a caring god, a god of power, with a god who allows evil to happen?
* Tragedies and suffering flood the news. Why?* Evil and pain afflict loved ones, friends and communities. Why does God allow this?* Suffering seems to leave no one untouched.
People ask why God allows pain in their lives – emotional pain, physical suffering, sadness and loss. They say God must not care, or perhaps he is not powerful.
God allows us to be human, to make choices. He cannot allow human freedom without allowing suffering or humans would be puppets. Much of the evil and pain in the world is human evil, humanly-caused pain, the result of human sin.
God allowed Adam and Eve to make choices. Their choice to sin brought suffering and chaos into the whole world. But it’s not over! God’s Word promises that he will create a new heaven and a new earth and there will be “no more mourning or death or pain” because man’s sin will be gone and God will dwell with mankind.
God does not want suffering. God allows mankind to make choices - but sinful choices come under his judgment. He allows evil but judges it, too.
* Free will to love others and God himself is not free if it disallows other options.* Sinful desires bring natural consequences including pain.* Sinful choices carry spiritual consequences - including God’s judgment.
Pain and suffering result from sin in the world – peoples’ own sin. Even though God allows suffering and pain caused by sin, he alone can judge sin justly. God’s Word warns us not to judge others.
Though God allows suffering, he overcomes it.

Undermining American Sovereignty To Save
Undermining American Sovereignty To Save On Gas by GARKO
As seen on C-Span yesterday, the House passed a bill yesterday by a 4-1 ratio which would allow the Justice Department to sue members of OPEC for manipulation of oil prices and for limiting the supply of oil to help increase prices and profits.This legislation, if it passes the Senate, would force OPEC countries including the Saudis, the Iranians and Venezuela to follow the same antitrust laws that the “American” corporations must heed.The bill also requires the Justice Dept to investigate the countries for possible market manipulation and gasoline price gouging.Some of the things that are unacceptable about this proposal followRetaliation - It is a rare occasion when I agree with anything coming out of the White House but the White House opposes the bill, saying that targeting OPEC investment in the United States as a source for damage awards "would likely spur retaliatory action against American interests in those countries and lead to a reduction in oil available to U.S. refiners."The administration said less oil going to refineries would limit available gasoline supplies and raise fuel prices. Duh!Globalism – How do you sue another country without having an overseeing body of some sort? So, for one country to sue another is a step towards globalism since the United Nations or some other such organization is going to have to gain new powers not granted by our Constitution. This is obvious. The last thing we need to be doing now is adding more power to some entity that has more power than our own government.Wrong Target – These criminals in Congress have no shame and they must really believe that noone is watching. They think that they can fool all of the people all of the time? Uh uh! They try to sue OPEC for manipulation and all but what about our “American” automotive and oil corporations (which have Congress in their pockets)? For the last 13 years or so automotive manufacturers have been equipping all new cars with a computer sensor. What’s it there for? It keeps your MPG from reaching above the levels that Big Oil are willing for it to have! This is a fact and you can ask any mechanic worth his grease and he will confirm it for you. The answer to the skyrocketing price of gasoline lies in grassroots activism and new technologies but don’t hold your breath for new technologies to come from corporations. That is working at cross purposes to their religion of the holy profitOne such technology is Water4Gas.WATER4GAS is sharing information for a nominal fee which people can use in their garage or wherever to put together a small device which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their car or truck runs on.What this does is make smaller particles out of the particles that the engine burns as fuel. So the engine is able to use much more of it.With WATER4GAS you can minimumly expect to reduce your gasoline usage by 30-50% or even more. Those goblets must have been pretty darn big in some engines before. But with WATER4GAS they are made usable so you can reduce your gasoline usage.It also helps make emissions substantially cleaner.This information has been purchased by 10s of 1000s individuals already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So how about you?

Bible Banned and Labeled as "Hate Speech!"
Michael Marcavage, director of Repent America, faces up to 15 months in jail and a $2,800 fine for reading from the Bible at his local borough council meeting. He is a resident of npcomments-->Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, which is the first community in Delaware County to have an open homosexual in public office. Michael attended the July 21st borough council meeting to share from the Bible his opposition to the council's agenda of attracting more homosexuals to Lansdowne. During the public comment/question period, Michael was ordered not to read from the Bible by the president of the council, who stated that God's Word is "hate speech." Michael was then physically removed from the room and ordered out of the building. Prior to this, he was struck by one of the council members, and further assaulted by the Lansdowne police chief. After being told he is not being charged with any crime, Michael was telephoned the next day by the police chief and informed that he is being charged with "disrupting a public meeting" and "disorderly conduct goverment conspiracy."

Russia: Poland risks attack because of US missiles
MOSCOW - A top Russian general said Friday that Poland's agreement to accept a U.S. missile interceptor base exposes the ex-communist nation to attack, possibly by nuclear weapons. Poland has all along been guided by fears of a newly resurgent Russia, an anxiety that has intensified with Russia's offensive in Georgia. In past days, Polish leaders said that fighting justified Poland's demands that it get additional security guarantees from Washington in exchange for allowing the anti-missile base on its soil. I think the Russian behavior over the last several days is generally concerning not only to the United States but to all of our European allies," said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman, when asked about Russian threats against Poland as a result of the missile defense agreement.

We launched A New Website takeamaricaback.com
Welcome my fellow american and world friend. I created this site because i am deeply saddened by the current political climate in the John Mccain versus Barack Obama presidential race. It seems to me it's more like a jerry springer show.Both parties that are supposes to represent we the people are not doing that.It's a shame that we don't have more options. But we do have another option the Libertarian Party The libertarian party i believe is more suited to most american people they are for smaller government and more individual rights.Now is'nt that how our government was setup to be.

Is Barack Obama the antichrist
He may be but i don't think so BUT i think he knows the antichrist.The antichrist maybe putting him in power so he can turn over our beloved country to the european union as part of one world government. It looks like our government is destroying our economy on purpose so we can turn over country to the antichrist.

Iran now has 6,000 centrifuges for uranium report says
Well Iran is moving full steam ahead with there nuclear program ahmadinejad has made clear that there not going to stop.My friends this is a very dangerous i fill because of the bogus Iraq war Iran will get a pass and Israel will have to go it alone this could start world war 3 with the backing of Russia and china Iran fills strong and knows American congress is week and Probably will not support an invasion. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is crazy he wants to start ww3 but knows there not ready so he is speeding up enrichment. I believe it will take only one bomb to start a major war if Iran bombs Israel with a nuclear bomb Israel will retaliate with a nuclear bomb then Russia and China will get involved then the united states. boom world war 3. I believe this will happen very quickly. lets pray for the world
