In Memorial of 47
I've done quite my share of questioning and doubting along the journey of my spiritual journey.I don't pretend to know it all, my friend.That's great that people learned something from his death. But what has a child done to deserve death at such a young age. What productive lesson could possibly be learned from hundreds of thousands of children dying of cancer every year? It doesn't add up.
I can only take comfort in the promise that one day all will be revealed. (or not )
And that's where one of my major problems with the whole concept of God comes from. Stuff like that, just doesn't make sense to me and once you find one chink in the armor you start to question everything else in even greater detail.
Cancer and other illness, the way it was taught to me, is all part of the sin/corrption that entered into humankind from Adam and Eve.
That was why they had such long lifespans back then. The 'yeast' hadn't 'leavened' yet.
