sorry, i mean:
@ rogermevans
thank you. at least someone has the decency and integrity to post something that actually tries to explain rather than exterminate. as I say, I am not a religious person to the extent that I follow a church or 'God' as such. please forgive my ignorance, it is not intentional. what you say is very interesting, and indeed answers and puts forward more questions.
I would read that as saying, to an extent, that those who chose to follow God would not be sufferers of disease and famine (and other such nasties), yet obviosuly we know they do. if these people choose to follow God, why are they not exempt from these things?
and I agree life does just happen. we make our own paths, but do they all end in the same outcomes? (and I'm not talking about being 6 feet under!)
also, when does this test end? what is the sign that says the test is over?
