We all have been given gifts.

Yes, we can say that, but some people have it really bad.......

.........my friend's son has been punished since the womb.......a life in a weelchair.......depending on others 24/7......

Why? if God is so powerful why does he allow that?

The Elohim of Psalm 82, they are the ones who created us, or at least changed us.

To know god is to understand that all things are spirit, that is were all things come from, the spirit.

Yes, his genius was a gift from GOD!

Ok.......if we are to believe his genius was a gift from God, can you please explain to me a few things:

Why does god give gifts only to some?
If the 'gifts' are from God, who are horrible things from?

My cousin was a lovely woman who got an aggressive cancer that killed her slowly and painfully...
Why didn't god give her the gift of a healthy body?

My friend's son was born with cerebral palsy, that occurred when he was a foetus...
Why didn't God give him a genius healthy brain like Brunelleschi's??

Ag, I say if we humans take responsibility for our selves, we take a load of God if we have created one.

Some people are murderers, is that also a gift from God? Does Jesus alone carry all the burden of mankind? how can God be so cruel to his only son?

It's all about freewill imo... "God" (which to me is Source, the Universe, the Collective Consciousness)... doesn't take away or give. It allows us a playground and freewill to make something of ourselves. We're a combination of animal and spirit, sometime more spirit comes through than the base animal in us, sometimes not. Everything that happens gives us a chance to grow and experience life in different ways... even the crappy and horrific stuff. Sometimes the gifts aren't obvious.
