Simply Because God is Unseen Doesn’t Mean God is Unreal

No Comments on Simply Because God is Unseen Doesn’t Mean God is Unreal

A common question Atheists ask, “if there is a God, why doesn’t God come down and fix things?” That usually leads to the question of why God is letting millions of people die of starvation and disease? Is God an absent landlord? Amid pain and suffering, people cry out, “God, where are you?” Is God powerless to do anything?

The observable answer is that God allows pain and suffering because pain and suffering exist. We should make a distinction, however, between God causing unfortunate events to happen and God not stopping bad things from happening. Still, why does God allow bad things to happen?

The answer is free will.

Merry Christmas!

I know it has a pagan history. However, I’ve concluded that anything that highlights God, Christ, and love for one another is sanctified. What do you think? Like any topic, I respect everyone’s perspective.

God Forgave the World Before God Created the World

No Comments on God Forgave the World Before God Created the World

Some people believe this is some New Age anti-Christian philosophy, but it is bible-based. Understanding it does require some deductive reasoning, however. 1 John 2:2 is the scripture that supports this post.

“He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:2)

God The Father, who knows everything, sent Jesus to atone for the sins of the world. Jesus wasn’t a strategy God used in response to a world that is out of control. God knew the world would need forgiveness before God created the world because God knows what we will do before we do it.

“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” (Luke 12:7)

God knew the world would need forgiving before God created it. The more profound question, why did God make humankind knowing humankind would need forgiveness?

Don’t blame God for the circumstances we create. Humbly ask God to intercede

No Comments on Don’t blame God for the circumstances we create. Humbly ask God to intercede

The negative events we experience individually or as a collective are a result of individual or group choices. God did not create a species of robots. God gave humanity the power to make their own decisions, and each decision we make, whether large or small, has consequences.

God gives people, nations, and the world the ability to make decisions. Our decisions can produce positive results, devastatingly negative results and every result in-between. The world is in the shape it is because of the consequences of human beings making decisions that cause these types of results. We could eliminate all these things if we wanted to.

Do we really want to?

Of course, at a humanitarian level, we do. Still, most of us are not willing to make uncomfortable personal sacrifices. Are you eager to sacrifice your comfort for people who live on the other side of the planet who do not look like you and who do not believe the same as you? Based on my observation of people, there are not many who would. We have a tough time even helping our neighbors here in this country if they do not look like us or believe the same as we do.

The world only solves a problem when the problem becomes too horrific to ignore. So, God only observes because He will not violate humankind’s free will. God gave us free will and God will not override it.

On the other hand, we can use our free well and ask God to intervene. All we must do is ask. God is waiting to assist us if only we would invite Him. This is what God desires. Human beings are created with the free will not to believe in God. They choose with their free will to believe in God and then ask God to intercede in their lives. The lost sheep find their way home. Let the heavens rejoice!
