I know some problems can seem to difficult at the time, but in the end they can help you. It just depends on what you want. Do you want an easy life or do you want to have your character built?
so your saying that because adam and eve screwed up, that were being punished for it thousands of years later?? that makes no sense at all, especially from a religion that always talks about peace and forgiveness.
basically were being punished for the mistakes of our ancestors. thats the same as if you went to jail because they found out your grandfather killed someone, makes no sense does it??
You'll never touch God's hand
You'll never taste God's breath
Because you'll never see the second coming
Life's too short to be focused on insanity
I've seen the ways of God

So I guess you are perfect then? Every person has sinned and messed up, Adam and Eve were just the first. That is how sin entered the world. I'm not saying we are punished because Adam and Eve sinned, I'm saying that when they sinned things changed. God's original design didn't include sickness, pain, or death. When sin entered the picture things changed because we (all of humanity) screwed up. Christianity does talk about peace and forgiveness, but it also is very clear that there are consequences for actions. I hope that you no longer misunderstand my statement.

oh, ok, i understand that now, kinda makes sense
