Christians that believe God saved your life because you have a purpose...?

Tell me, how many other people do you think have died that same way you could have potentially had God not intervened?

Why could they have not fulfilled that same purpose you were saved to do?

    What evidence is there that any god has saved any life?

  • 5 years ago

    The fact that you ask this question shows that you think there might just be an answer. Have you taken each and every verse in the Bible and been able to prove that every verse is impossible? Are you an educated atheist? Or have you taken other peoples word for it? Have you proven what you believe to be fact? It is so easy not to do research because something is too hard to understand or explain. Everyone has a purpose. What can you do that a person with 4 working limbs can not do? What idea do you have that will make a difference. How can you make life better for other quadriplegics? For other people? For yourself. All atheists are lazy, they take the easy way out instead of proving with evidence that God does not exist. What does every religion say about Jesus? God? Man? Prove them wrong or right.

    All who were born into this world had been chosen by God to salvation. If they did not choose it, it is because their hearts were hard.

    All could have fulfilled the same purpose, to praise God and bring others to a knowledge of Him

    I'm not sure exactly why GOD saved my life, but I know he did!

    Months ago (2008) I was in a car accident. I was driving and a truck ran right into me, causing me to spend into traffic going the other direction. Another truck hit me which knocked my driver's seat into the rear passenger seat while I was in it.

    They had to tow the truck off of my car then cut me out of it in order to remove me. I was unconscious when I got to the hospital. When I woke up...I found out I was in a car accident.

    I was in so much pain you wouldn't believe, the doctors told me that I lost my unborn child, told me that both of my jaws were broken, my pelvis was broken in three places, my lower back & ribs were fractured, and then told me I needed a blood transfusion in order to live...

    I know it to GOD that spared my life, cause due to my accident I lost everything except my life..."THANK YOU JESUS!!!"

    The driver (spanish guy) of the first truck left the scene of the accident, but the left his truck which wasn't his anyway. The actual owner of the pick-up truck was a spanish lady with the same last name. Unfortunately, for me they had crappy insurance that only pays the maximum of $20,000 which don't even cover my medical bills. The second driver is sewing him(the guy that caused it) too.

    No amount of money will never be enough to cover the lost of my child, but the fact that I won't be able to pay the hospital bills is a real bomber!

    When I say I Iost everything, I mean everything...I stayed in the hospital for three weeks, when I got out my car was already demolished by the car pound (after 10 days). They (town of Cicero,IL) wouldn't allow my little brother to take pictures of the car nor did they allow him to get any of my things from the car, not even my work tools (I was an electrician) and they were fully aware that I was in the hospital.

    Not only did I lose all my belongings and work tools, I lost my $10,000 wedding rings. I still don't know who took them off my finger (paramedics, doctors, who knows...) And to top it off: the guy that caused the accident only received six months supervision (I wasn't able to go to court). My attorney (Steven Gleason) didn't go either, he just sent a letter...

    You see...that's how I know it was GOD that saved my life. GOD don't care about all that material stuff, he cared about me therefore he saved my life. I have a whole new outlook on life now; everything happens for a reason.

    I look at it like this: I'd rather have my life and health then all that other stuff, that's what keeps me level.

    I know there is a GOD and he saved my life...

    Because those people will not be at the same places, nor know the same people, NOR have the same personality complex that I have.

    Each of us, including you, have a purpose and reason for living that only you were created to fulfill.

    Every one will eventually leave this world. Now is the time to fulfill your purpose. If God happens to give us a little extra time to do this, take it. If not get busy now.

    I was created with a purpose, And everyone has a purpose. God has already intervened. Why do you ask questions that are self explanitory in the bible?

  • 1 decade ago

    I believe that the saving part is from eternal pain, not from pain in this life.

    I think most people will admit that they are flawed.

    don't you find that frustrating?

    There are so many problems because of our faults.

    It's as plain as the noses on our faces.

    Two reasons: The ego gets in the way (it is all about you) and God can't use an unclean vessel (sin nature). You go your own way as Fleetwood Mac would say.

    The death of anyone is pre-known by God. That's all we can really say.

    Becuase everybody has a different purpose. Even satan is fufilling his.
