1 | Why does God allow Sin? | Gen 3:15 | austexgal | 135286 | ||
I have been given many explanations before, but am looking to see what some other POV's are in regards to why God allows Satan to bring destruction on this Earth ie. Innocent people dying, rape, etc etc. Any POV's are most appreciated, also helpful if you can provide some biblical scripture if possible. | ||||||
2 | Why does God allow Sin? | Gen 3:15 | JCrichton | 135287 | ||
Hi, aust! In Genesis 3:15, we find Satan being destroyed by Jesus... this is the sentence given to him by God. In Revelation 12 we find an expansion on Genesis 3:15... I doubt that anyone can give you a clear and correct answer to your query... other than that God's Way is not our ways! I can offer two explanations: 1) God's Plan includes the struggle of His creation against evil (as in Job--how he would awake and make offerings to God for anything that he may have done in his dreams, as well as his offerings for his children)... God desires our love and obedience--Satan's challange is defeated every time we obey the Lord and serve only Him! 2. Since God knows no limits (time constraints, etc.) to Him 1000 years is but an insignificant fraction of time... and vice versa! (2 Peter 3:8) ...so, as in Jesus' parables (Matthew 13:24-30 and Luke 13:6-9), the wicked is allowed to coexist with the good till the fullness of times when all wickedness will be eradicated completely: from our perspective it's been years and counting... from God's perspective, Satan has already been condemned! Again, I am piecing together your thoughts with Scripture... there is no clear revelation of God's Intimate Design--only the Holy Spirit can truly reveal all Truth! God Bless! Angel |
