[fairyprincess90]

::sigh:: im about to like break down and cry. so many people have cancer.

my grandmom died a year ago from brain cancer and it hurt me so much! she was like the most godliest person ever!
now, my other grandmom may have more breast cancer. V.V and shes a godly woman too!
also, the best people in our church have cancer. a dear lady who was always bubbly and friendly cant even walk down her steps anymore because she has breast and brain cancer and isnt expected to live very long, she has battled cancer for the longest time. also her husband battled cancer before too.
now, i also found out that my pastors wife who has meant so much to me has breast cancer... and it looks bad!
its so depressing!
why does god allow all the good people suffer! these people who are battling or have died from cancer are like the most godliest people you can meet!
im really angry at god for allowing this because it just doesnt seem fair!

and pray for their families. i know it has to be hard.

and if you know anyone who has cancer please post about it here because i'll pray for them!

Yeah, cancer really sucks. My mom had breast cancer twice. I know it's rough, but you just have to pray and try to trust God. The second time my mom had cancer they tought it was spreading and I really thought I was going to lose her. But that was about 3 years ago now, and she's still here. When she had cancer we met a bunch of people who had or used to have cancer. On the one hand it showed me just how many people get cancer, but on the other hand it showed me how many people have made it through.

Sometimes these things just happen... but to be angry at God for it because they are good people... don't you KNOW where they all went? They're probably all partying it up in heaven right now^^ Sometimes God just calls some people sooner than others. That's all. Shouldn't hate^^ But for those that have it now, I'll be praying.

Our faith in God helps us through hard times because we know God loves us and cares about us. It makes it easier to bear hardship. However, this does not mean that hardship doesn't come.

If good Christians never got sick, then there would be a lot of immortal (in body) Christians out there. This would not be "fair" at all. Actually, it would be very biased. Because IF God ran the world this way, whenever someone got sick or died, we would then assume it was because they sinned. Many Jews of Christ's time felt this way. Thus, Christ uses the example of the man born blind to state that it was not his parents fault (which was the prevailing excuse for such babies, since they could not have personally sinned yet), rather he was blind to serve as an example (that of Christ's healing him).

Perhaps there is a reason this is affecting you this much? I recommend praying about what God wants your role to be regarding these cancers.

Who said following God would be easy? Just know that He will accept them in open arms; they truly are in a better place, away from sin and temptations and evil. Of course it's painful, but at the same time you must rejoice; these people are at peace.

My friend passed away this year due to 5 cancerous tumors in his brian.

I understand how you're feeling =\

[Roy Mustang]

I was going to pm you this, but your PM box is full. Anyway, I just say what I feel that needs to be said here.


I know how you feel. I lost my grandad just last month to cancer and I had some other family and friends get cancer that have pass away or are sick.

But you can't give up on the lord. We don't know why people that are good people get sick. That's just how it is, my grandad was 81 and he told everyone that he felt that he had a good life and didn't want anyone of use to feel mad about it. He was a very deep christian and I know that he is in a better place, but it still hurts a bit. But we know that he is happy that we remember him in our family hearts and that we don't take it out on the lord.


I have been very open about this at CAA and I know that you are somewhat new here and don't know this.

I was born with a heart problem that I had to have surgery when I was three days old and then open heart surgery at 15 months old. I started to get very sick around the time, I was about to turn 13 years old.

Come to find out that when I had my open heart surgery. The blood that they have to give me as they did the surgery was bad blood and it had HIV in it.

By this time, It went from HIV to AIDS. At one point, the doctors give me only six months to live, but my family, friends and alot of people in my church prayed for me. That was 13 years go and now I'm 26 and take med for AIDS and since 1996, the virus level is so low in my body that it doesn't show up in my blood.

They know that its still there, but I'm pretty heathly and can do things that I once did, before I even knew that I had AIDS.

There was alot of hurt ache when this happen to me and because one of the meds that I had to take years go to help me keep me alive, cause me to lose some of my hearing. I wear hearing aids and I can hear just as good as I did.

But I never question God on what this happen to me. I just dealt with it and tell you the truth. If I had I wish that I could go back in time and stop from getting aids from the blood that I got from the srugery. I wouldn't even use the wish at all.

I learn to be a better person by having this and I feel that God has giving me something to go out in the world and preach about as you can live with aids and to trust in the Lord.

Sorry to go in a long story about this, but don't give up on the Lord.

Its hard to understand why things happen to good people and stuff. But it happens and we just have to learn that to be thankful with the time that we have on this earth and be open and loving to others.

I never give up on God after all that I had to deal with and I hope that you don't too.

I will be praying for you, your family and friends at this time of need.

God Bless and take care.

Cancer sucks. I'll pray.

I spend lots of time pondering pain and death because it is frequently something that people don't understand and hate God for.
When I read your post, I thought, "Fellow Christians going home!" They are saved, they are going to be with Jesus! It's the healthy unsaved who really need prayer. My pastor always says, "We spend more time praying to keep saints out of Heaven then we do to keep sinners out of Hell." I'm sorry if that's insensitive, I'm not trying to be cruel and I really want to be a comfort. I have a poor emotional understanding sometimes, and what makes sense to me and comforts me occasionally makes other people think I'm trying to be patronizing. I'm honestly not.
Death reminds us time on Earth is temporary. We were never meant to be here forever. To live as though we would or might distracts us from what our purpose here is, because then you focus on 'suceeding ' by wordly standards, and spend all your time and energy on things that don't last, which, as much as it hurts, includes other people. You get tricked right out of the best part in life, that is, Christ himself, because of the pain of losing what you could never keep anyhow. It's one of the Devils meanest tricks in my opinion, to take the love you have for people and use it against you to make you hate the God who put them in your life to bless you in the first place.
If they are Christians, you will see them again. And since life itself was never the point, they won't lose anything when they die, from the cancer or otherwise. Do what you can for them until they pass on, and then look forward to the time when your trip on this ball of dirt circling the sun is done, and you get your chance to catch up, and then you can be partying with both them and Christ forever.
Regardless, I will pray for you all.

"Hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground. Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward." (Job 5:6-7). It is the way of it, we live lives loading ourselves up with synthetic chemicals and we live lifestyles that make us prone to cancer, and then we get cancer. God had provided ways in which we could live without cancer, if we had only listened to his word. God permits us the consequences of our choices, even as we sow the seeds of our own sorrow as surely as sparks fly upward. This is pretty obvious in such things as smoking, but still present with every wardrobe choice (i.e. wearing a light long sleeve shirt outside in the summer would make one less prone to skin cancer), every decision at the dinner table, etc. Conversely, cancer research gets held up by profiteering corporations who won't share their crucial research because they couldn't profit on it that way, etc.

wow. wingzero you are like amazing for not giving up on god. thanks for your example... you must be a really strong person.


and thanks everyone for praying.

I read an interesting thing the other day: God loves us. OK, that's probably "duh" to most people here. But think about it this way. The fact that God loves us doesn't mean He steps in and stops all harm. But it just might mean that when we are in pain or suffer or struggle with sin, God cries too.

[Ryupower]

OK, will do.
Why does God allow it? Well, maybe it's time for them to go...don't take this hard! The most important thing is that they're godly, and when they're godly they deserve a big reward. ^^
That's the point of it. Godly people derserve godly rewards...dying really is nothing but a reward! Heaven is so much nicer than anything here...no more cancer, no more pain...it makes it even more wonderful for them! So it's a precious reward they're getting. ^^
Also, He may use this to show other's how much one can really love God and all....and if they get healed of this it'd bring Him even more glory! Doctor's will get saved! Atheists! Agnostics! All of that just because God healed them. Which is actually now problem for Him.
I'm prayin here, people. Deffinately.

...God had provided ways in which we could live without cancer, if we had only listened to his word. God permits us the consequences of our choices, even as we sow the seeds of our own sorrow as surely as sparks fly upward....

Indeed. This sentiment is especially valid when in regards to illnesses such as cancer. God can hardly be held responsible to change what one has largely -- albeit somewhat unknowingly -- done to oneself.
