Blame it on Satan...
Posted On 04/08/2008 03:54:38 by tom1974

This weekend i spent some time with some old church frinds from Norfolk.  Being with them and a few of there frinds for a few days brought up an old hate of mine that never went down to well at all when i spoke out, Blameing every bad thing in life nomatter how small on Satan.  Such as "i have had so many trials this week" & "my life is one big trial what have i done to deserve it".  Most of these people have had very good lifes compaired to other people.  Say a political refugee moveing to the UK because of threats to there /familys lifes.

I do not believe in this way of thinking at all!  We must take responsibility for our own actions and understand that a free persons actions can do ill to us as well as good.  I do believe that we may be temped one way or another by Satan or fellow humans but church members more than any other people i have ever met our wey to quick to pass the blame.
Im not exactly the best example of a good bloke but i will always take whats comeing to me!  I guess i was brought up to stand my gound and apcept who i am.  There is no point kidding myself to who i am it will get me nowhere.

At the end of the day i just hope that people in the future will think about whether they are complaining about the perfectly normal workings of life or justifiable wrongs whoever they came from.  After all we are here to be tried!  
It always looked as though the other person has the eaiser life, the more manageable trial or rongs, more money, better job. Put in there position and it would most likely be just as hard.

I agree with your perception, tom.  Thanks for reminding me.

Tom.....good points. In the last few years (particularly lately) I have come to realize that the gift of "Free Agency" granted to me, gives me the power to choose what is RIGHT or what is WRONG and......when I choose the wrong it is not necessarily of the temptation of the Adversary but my free-will.
