📚 Alana (professional book nerd)’s comments from the The Debate Club group.

I plan to comment it’s just been a hectic day! 😅

Of course and thank you!

This is a little bit of a tricky question to answer and explain, but I'll do my best.

So right now, the reason that not everyone is Christian and believes in God is because we have a choice. God
gave us this and hopes we'll come to him. As of right now, technically, Satan has power Earth. It's why there's sin, pain, death, all of that. Yes, God is over all of it, but Satan has power over the Earth until Jesus's second coming, when He will destroy Satan.

This is from The Bible - which is what I believe in 🙃
“And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Good questions, and I'll do my best to answer! 😅🤭 (also I'm really chill lol I don't find questions like this offensive, I love answering them!)

- Why would God allow you to have chronic pain in the first place?
So, there could be a few different reasons. One, its a result of sin, since pain is part of the price for sin, or it could be just a hardship God sent me through so I could empathize with others and share His love that way!
- Why would God answer your prayers, and not the prayers of families affected by war and poverty?
This is a really good question! :D God doesn't answer every prayer, and its not always in visible ways. He may answer it down the line, or in a way not seen or visible right away.
- Why do people of other religions also believe praying works, and experience miracles like this when they pray to their deity?
So, this is really interesting because Satan can also do miracles, and he will to try and trick people into not following God and instead following false (in my belief) deities.

I’m Christian, and I very much believe Gods real!

Beyond the fact of my religion, I’ve seen Him work miracles in my life and others lives. I’ve seen unexplainable healings, and had that happen to me.

I had knee issues from when I was eight and was in constant chronic pain for years, until last year at a youth camp, I was being prayed over for those injuries and the pain was gone. Just like that. I’ve had no issues or pain since. (This is just my story and experience, and I have more).

Hey I just joined, thank you for the invite!

I’m 16 btw lol, and I’m a Christian with very strong beliefs and I have a habit of getting into debates anyways so I was very excited to hear about this group :)
