I was reading a post on another site where a very nice Hindu person was saying that all religions lead to God, you just have to be good and kind and gentle. However the Christian God requires us to love Him perfectly with all our strength, soul, heart and mind. He requires perfection, but knows that we cannot attain to that and so He sent Jesus to live perfectly for us and die in our place as a perfect substitution for us. He even gives us the faith to believe in Jesus and all who believe receive His forgiveness, There is nothing else that we can do, it is a gift of God. This message is for all who will believe from every corner of our world. It is available to all who will believe.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
