Is it just bad luck, when we and our children....
Nov 16th, 2016 at 10:15am
 

Is it just bad luck, when we and our children are sick,       ...or are in a state of distress or dis ease ?





QUESTION;
If 'fast foods' taste good, does that mean that 'fast foods' are good for us ?

QUESTION;
If illicit [psychotropic] drugs temporarily give us a feeling of calmness, euphoria, or confidence, does that mean that ilicit [psychotropic] drugs are good for us ?

ACL injuries: Growing number of child cases prompts call for national database


By the National Reporting Team's Meredith Griffiths

Posted about 2 hours ago

Revelations a growing number of children are seriously injuring their knees have prompted calls for a national database of juvenile sports injuries.

Key points:

    Many injuries would not be unreported, Professor Finch says
    Children who specialise in one sport are more likely to be injured
    Coaches need to better understand "reasonable training loads" for children

Last night, 7.30 revealed the number of children undergoing ACL reconstructions had more than tripled in the past 15 years.

This has nothing to do with our choices ?

You think ?

Spike in meningococcal cases from strain most not vaccinated against


By Courtney Bembridge

Posted 20 Oct 2016, 7:29pm

Health authorities have reported a spike in the number of meningococcal cases in WA from a strain that Australians are not routinely vaccinated for.

There have been 17 reported cases of meningococcal in Western Australia this year, and the majority have been an emerging strain referred to as 'W'.

"In 2014, we had two cases. In 2015 we had four cases. This year so far we've had 10 cases, so we've seen a doubling each year over the last couple of years.

"If that continues then we will be very alarmed."

We used to be called 'the lucky country'.


A happy country, where even the poorest people seemed [mostly] content and 'full'.

But we are 'the lucky country' no more.


QUESTION;
Why do so many Australians today, seem to be troubled by increasing numbers of 'afflictions' in their daily lives ?

Depression, suicide, many, many mental health issues, increasing lawlessness, and increasing social disharmony, drunkenness among the young, the widespread use of harmful illicit [psychotropic] drugs,       even hapless tourists who are visiting our 'lucky country', some have suffered being raped and murdered!

And in a country with "the best guns laws in the world",      ....Australians are watching increasingly regular [almost weekly?] instances of 'targeted' killings among differing criminal groups, involving what are supposedly banned/restricted firearms [firearms that have been supposedly controlled [banned/restricted] by our "best" gun laws].

http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1479107950/0#0

And we also see increasing instances of sickness and infections among those who should be among the healthiest of people in society, the young [i.e. sub 30 years old, and younger].


It is so strange.

I just can't work it out!

/sarc off




Could our apparent recent misfortunes and 'bad luck' have something to do with our own inclinations and our own choices ?


QUESTION;
Do consequences really follow causes ?

Or are Australians, in recent years, increasingly, just becoming the victims of a run of extraordinary 'bad luck' ?

/sarc off



Dictionary;
effect = =
1 a change which is a result or consequence of an action or other cause.       the extent to which something succeeds or is operative.
2 (to that effect) general sense or meaning.
3 the state of being or becoming operative

Deuteronomy 11:16
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived....


Luke 21:34
....take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts [be deceived by the world]....


If we are deceived, whose fault is it ?

Is it God's fault ?

God says, "Take heed to yourselves."  !!!





As Moses before him, warned ancient Israel, Jesus too warned [those who heard him], not to love all of the pleasures of this world, more than loving God's righteousness....

Luke 21:33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.



WHAT WE CHOOSE, WILL BRING US HEALTH OR SICKNESS, LIFE OR DEATH

Deuteronomy 7:12
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13  And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14  Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15  And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.



Deuteronomy 28:58
If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
59  Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
60  Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
61  Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
62  And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
63  And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
64  And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
65  And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
66  And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
67  In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.





Deuteronomy 11:16
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;


i.e.
Deuteronomy 11:16     is refering to loving a comfortable circumstance in the world, more than being committed to God's righteousness, in the world.



God has shown us the way to live in this world [to live in his laws, by the principles revealed in Torah].

God has revealed it to us - even to our hearts.     [Matthew 7:12]

He has left nothing hidden that we need to know.

So whose fault is it, if we are deceived, by the world,      ....and decide to choose falsehood ?




Deuteronomy 30:15
See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
16  In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
17  But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18  I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
20  That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Is there not a time Yadda when turning the other cheek is not satisfying enough?
Surely many of today's Israelites would feel that.

Yadda posts are full of so much blather and BS its very difficult in determining what the point of view is apart from hate of Muslims which is the most compelling feature of Yadda's hate propaganda.

Yadda must have been the victim of a bad luck spell which has ruined his life. Yadda hates nearly everything.

As opposed to yours which are full of hate for the white European civilisation which feeds you?
You might be one of those white uni students running around in the US with a sign saying Ban Whiteness.

Au contraire Bogarde73 darling. White society has been very lucrative for me all of my life. I fit into white society invisibly.

I detest racist Islamophobic bigots like Bogarde73 whose objective is to propagate hate and to instigate and foment the exclusion from society of those groups of people he hates.

bogarde,

I'm not a good Christian.

I'm not like Jesus.

Scripture tells me Jesus was a faultless, perfect man.

And N.T. scripture urges us to be like him [i.e. perfect].



I can not be.

God forgive me,      ....if you will.
