1 | problem with cause and allow | Job 1:21 | mikes | 117557 | ||
Thank you for your responses and since I am new to this site I'm having a little trouble getting back to respond.But ,again,it was not God who took away anything from JOB,it was Satan.Allowing is not causing.You allowed your son to continue playing with the swing.He might have been hurt and he may never have been hurt.You did not cause his being hit in the head. mikes |

2 | problem with cause and allow | Job 1:21 | Rowdy | 117617 | ||
But you seem to miss my point: we are the children to God and in spite of His Words of warning about sin, we continue commit sins and leave undone those acts of good and kindness we should be doing. Yes indeed, God allows sin and evil, the devil and all the other bad stuff to exist in the world because it shows off His glory all the more. Just like you can't have and wouldn't enjoy sunshine without rain, you and I really wouldn't enjoy an eternal home here on earth without this knowledge of flesh, the physical, the finite. Our physical world is totally incompatible with God's spiritual world outside of His one exception: the temporary combination of our human body with the soul He's given to each of us. Remember as far as my son was concerned I was responsible because I could have prevented the injury. But I knew he could handle it and I wanted him to grow and realize he must handle an ocassional pain in this world. But most important, I knew he needed to learn how to avoid these kind of pains. For the same reason, we took him and his brother to worship with us so he could develop his own relationship with God. You might also remember God doesn't have any grandchildren. Only His own beloved children will graduate to His Home we have waiting for us. God bless. --Rowdy |

Paul deals with this kind of thinking as follows Rom 3:5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7Someone might argue, "If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?" 8Why not say--as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say--"Let us do evil that good may result"? Their condemnation is deserved. Let no one be deceived. God is not mocked. We will most definitely pay for our sins in this world and reap the full consequences UNLESS we've got the blood of Jesus to cover our sins AND we're sincerely trying our best to live a christian life every day. God bless. --Rowdy |
