This is a mixture of Psalm 103 and Psalm 145.

"Praise the Lord, o my soul," is from Psalm 103

"As far as the east is from the west, that's how far He has removed our transgressions from us." Psalm 103

"The Lord is gracious and compassionate; slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all that He has made." Psalm 145

All in all, it's a wonderful song of worship that's straight from the Word.

No one said Christians practice Christianity with perfection. Only one did that... Christ himself. But we keep trying. And many claim to be Christians and are not or do not actually practice what they claim to believe. Christianity is not an easy path, just try doing waht Christ said to do... love your enemies, turn the other cheek, etc. not so easy in this world... but we persevere and try to do better every day and ask forgiveness when we fail, realizing that we are not God. Praise the Lord!

@wbluscom Well put!

@silvermidnight77 Do you seriously think that belief in a deity solves mankind`s problems ? Look at the Japanese, are they christian ? Not many. How they endure hardship , almost with a smile, makes the whole world ponder.. Look at history, belief in a deity makes no difference. Christian nations make war like any other, maybe even more.. They even make war because they believe in a certain kind of god or prophet.

[tallliza]

@silvermidnight77 The sufferings in our lives are trials. They make us stronger.. Do you know how many in this world commit suicide, because they cannot face all the adversities that god( supposedly) send them. How can you claim it makes people stronger ?

[tallliza]

@silvermidnight77 You try to tiptoe around the question with empty words. Why does your god make or allow the innocent to suffer ? If I read you right, 100.000 innocent children in Haiti had to perish to draw people closer to god. What a loving god. LOL, Doesn`t this allmighty have less painful ways to draw people closer ? Even the worst tyrant on earth would not resort to such butchery.

[tallliza]

@silvermidnight77 Again, Romans 3:23 has no more validity as the homily of your Sunday preacher. technically the only innocent person there ever was is Jesus Christ.. So Techinically a new-born baby is a criminal ?? What silly nonsense

. But God loves us and although he makes people suffer.. If your dad acted like god, he would be in jail with a life-sentence. but because of brainwashing in childhood, you are programmed to call suffering from god LOVE. Bullshit.

[tallliza]

@silvermidnight77 That`s a great homily. You should be a pastor. But you just beat around the bush. You do not answer the question... Why the INNOCENT have to suffer. ? How do you reconcile the idea of a loving, caring, just god with the ,, suffering of the innocent ? Romans 8:28.. means NOTHING. It has the same credibility as the words of your Sunday pastor.

@tallliza Thats just a worldly perspective. What is the length of this life compared to eternity? If you try to see it from an eternal perspective you would realize that this world can do what it wants to our bodies. But this world can never touch our souls. After all our bodies are temporary but our souls are eternal.

[tallliza]

@xxservantxx : You carefully tiptoe around the problem. Does your god have control over the elements, yes or no., ? Do Innocent children deserve to suffer, yes or no ? Wouldn`t a loving father save at least his innocent children from injury, suffering or death ?  So, why doesn`t your LOVING god act like a loving father ? I have news for you. NOWHERE in the scriptures is the immortal(eternal) soul mentioned. In fact the O.T. talks about the MORTAL soul.

@tallliza "The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls." - 1 Peter 1:9. "So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father. 25 And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us." - 1 John 2:24-25. The eternal soul is mentioned on a number of occasions but to answer your main question, how can a loving God allow innocent people to suffer? That takes a much longer.

[thebigbristolian]

@tallliza As my girlfriend's brother-in-law put it: It is sadly not uncommon that tens of thousands of people can die in an instant, that has been happening for thousands of years. The difference for Christians is that the death of Jesus Christ has freed us from the bonds of death into eternal life (as I quoted a couple of times before), case in point being John 3:16. I would also point to the numerous Christian and religious charities that do try to better mankind:e.g Christian Aid and Tearfund

[thebigbristolian]

@tallliza Sadly there have been a large number of 'misguided' Christians, shall we say, who maybe haven't followed Jesus' proclamation: “‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'" - Luke 10:27. To be honest you're more than welcome to believe that everything I've written is BS and misguided, but I hope this answers some of your questions. God bless Johnny

[tallliza]

If god were compassionate, he would not have let 100.000 innocent children perish under the rubble in Haiti !!
