God alone has knowledge of the Hour of Doom. He sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. No mortal knows what he will earn tomorrow; no mortal knows in what land he will die. Surely God is Knowing, Aware.
Qur'an 31:34

you speak the truth, huskarl
noone knows when their number is up

that post reminded me of a kickass deathmetal song by deuteronoium "to die and gain"

i love that song, and the person who inspired it.

2003-09-23 16:36:18 ET

i was just on your sight yesterday Kreg! thats awesome, i do too, the person i mean, lol sorry i am not familiar with the band.

2003-09-23 16:38:11 ET

they are fairly obscure. i think they have thrown in the towel too. christian death and roll bands are hard to come by too... so sad.

2003-09-23 16:40:09 ET

true true...have you heard the group East West? not quite metal, but neo grunge rock maybe? still hard

2003-09-23 16:44:43 ET

hmm, can't say that i have, i usually don't stray too far from the industrial/goth variety of music, but i may have to check that out. what kind of stuff do you listen to ?

2003-09-23 16:46:30 ET

wow...everything. i really like industrial, synth-pop, jazz, classical, swing, prog-rock, Christian rock (mostly the rock genres there tho)

2003-09-23 18:25:11 ET

actually that is not me speaking, it is a citation from the Qur'an.

2003-09-23 19:08:18 ET

awwww man.

2003-09-24 01:01:06 ET

i want to thank you for that, you have put my entire evening into perspective just now. God bless.

2003-09-24 06:16:40 ET

i dont like to think about death. it depresses me and i cry.i'm to happy right now in my life to want it to end.

"And don't tell me God works in mysterious ways, There's nothing mysterious about it, He's not working at all. He's playing. Or else He's forgotten all about us. That's the kind of God you people talk about, a country bumpkin, a clumsy, bungling, brainless, conceited, uncouth hayseed. Good God, how much reverence can you have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in His divine system of Creation? What in the world was running through that warped, evil, scatalogical mind of His when He robbed old people of the power to control their bowel movements? Why in the world did He ever create pain?"

2003-09-24 13:16:10 ET

oh sweetie, what happened? where did you get all that pain?
God didn't create all that, hun. Humankind chose that path from the begining by disobeying Him, so we have to pay for it now. Death is a disease, look at it, it is a decay of life, a consequence of our choice as humans to commit sin in the begining. Death was never intended to exist, it is a consequence of our action. I think of pain as a part of the reality that we created and so ultimately we are responsible for it. And I can say in full confidence knowing the truth: Don't lose heart, He loves you, Faith.

2003-09-24 13:39:19 ET

Chamber: I'm not sure if you were thanking me or not, but if you were, you are more than welcome.

2003-09-24 13:46:37 ET

ahh stop it!

2003-09-24 15:05:51 ET

God wishes pain on nobody, that was created by our own selfishness


:edit: eep, i should start reading things before i post.

haha :edit:

"... have you once stopped to wonder, why all the suffering? what has each man and child done to deserve this thing. maybe the truth is nothing, maybe we're all the same. for every crime commited, we all must take the blame. there is a new day dawning, where our hope fills the skies. legions of love surrender unto our children's eyes. take me cuz i am ready, take me where i belong, take me until forever, take me away from harm." - regenerator "take me"

2003-09-24 16:33:39 ET

2003-09-24 23:17:31 ET

2003-09-25 02:18:47 ET
