After all, one of the struggles humanity grapples with is, "How can a loving God let bad things happen to people?"<br /><br />God is powerful, and He wants an intimate relationship with each of us. The general opinion (shared by a billion people, give or take a few) is that God is good. But, there are some who still hold Him accountable for atrocities such as the Crusades, the Inquisition, etc.<br /><br />To answer your question, I would say, "Yes."Michaelhttp://www.michael-dunne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774213686899888653.post-69012013952805766802015-02-08T11:00:20.266-05:002015-02-08T11:00:20.266-05:00Thank you Kate.

Yes...I have some answers for your questions, Robin. Yes, certainly--curiosity is the impetus generated by the situation, isn't it? To want to know *more* about who this person is. What if it did get you killed? It absolutely could. Maybe, it is even worth dying for.<br /><br />As to your agenda, in this scenario, perhaps it is nothing more than any persons: to enjoy what is good in life, to love others, to be comfortable. <br /><br />This powerful person would upset the comfort zone, I'd say!<br /><br />Thanks for your answer!Kristie Kiesslinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480845108333771796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774213686899888653.post-52272258267329028612015-02-08T10:55:46.521-05:002015-02-08T10:55:46.521-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kristie Kiesslinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480845108333771796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774213686899888653.post-8751572273467760002015-02-07T10:56:27.839-05:002015-02-07T10:56:27.839-05:00Huh, that's an interesting question.

I have to agree that knowing what the conflicting things are would help in the decision. Also, what's my own agenda? Am I trying to be helpful or get ahead? :DRobin Lythgoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432411701244810312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774213686899888653.post-57583770817098038372015-02-04T22:42:12.962-05:002015-02-04T22:42:12.962-05:00This may or may not help you!

After all, why would a powerful person suddenly want to become such dear close friends with me all of a sudden? If I were a devious person, I would say "yes of course!" because I'd want to know what they were really up to and see if I couldn't use that against them.And if I were a trusting person I would shrug my shoulders and say "Sure, why not?" <br /><br />I hope that helped! :)Katie Mastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001282913154187519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1774213686899888653.post-84676856989155392102015-02-04T09:07:10.431-05:002015-02-04T09:07:10.431-05:00Thanks for your answer!

In what way is he/she/it powerful? What are the conflicting things I'm hearing about this person? Are they coming from reliable sources that I trust? What have they done that I think makes them probably good? <br /><br />In general terms, I might be interested but I wouldn't go all in at first. Let whatever the relationship develop gradually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
