1 | Doesn't it say that God would cause evil | 2 Sam 12:11 | charis | 15413 | ||
Dear RWC, I have been through this one before. My only question is, why would anynone, in their pursuit of God, want to *know* that God is the root cause of evil? What purpose is served, and how are we able to use this *knowledge* in our comission to preach the Gospel to all creation? Surely, the Holy Spirit within us speaks to our hearts that God is good! For me this is enough, and philosophical conjecture of the *source* of evil is moot, and indeed destructive of faith, our own and those around us. In my humble opinion. In Jesus, charis |

Hello, charis, and greetings in Jesus' name, my friend and Christian brother. A hearty amen to your post. It grieves me that in our time so many people, including, alas, some professing Christians, hold the Almighty God in such seemingly low esteem that they want to question everything concerning not only His word but God himself. Whatever happened to the humble and contrite spirit that held God in absolute awe? Don't we need a daily booster shot from the last chapters (beginning in chapter 38) of the Book of Job in which God puts Job (and all mankind) in his place? Who are we, weak, sinful stumbling creatures that we are, to stare God in the face and dare impugn His motives, question His wisdom, or, perhaps even worse, to disagree with the transcendent God who molded us out of the dust of the earth. If we only knew what little we know, we'd certainly know more than we do now. I rejoice in your "humble opinion." -- Hank | ||||||

Hank: I agree with the views expressed in your post. I especially like the part where you ask: "Who are we, weak, sinful stumbling creatures that we are, to stare God in the face and dare impugn His motives, question His wisdom, or, perhaps even worse, to disagree with the transcendent God who molded us out of the dust of the earth?" Here is a fitting quote I heard today on Christian radio: "It is a principle of physics that: An object that is larger than the container cannot be contained by that container. "And God is much bigger than your head." (See also Deut. 29:29.) |
