Hi EdB, I think the example you site is a good one. Although handicaps are not moral evils, they are evils nonetheless. In the context, I see the passage as literal. Moses' speech problem was not figurative, and God is saying in effect, "the way I've made you is the way I want to use you." I suspect some believers unwittingly place the Law of God (or some other standard of morality) beside or above God and believe that he must conform to it. They don't realise that whever God does is right. The law of God tells US, not God, what to do. It is a law over us, not God. God is above the law and all men under it. God has revealed to us that He is good. That goodness must be understood in terns of His sovereignty, not by some supposed standard of goodness outside of God to which He must conform. If He makes a man deaf, it is the good and right thing to do, because whatever God does is good and right, because He is God. Does not the potter have a right over the clay? Lionstrong |

Exactly! Let God reign! I think of the double standard we apply to God. Ravi Zachariah gives an illustration. A plane crashes to earth and 300 people are killed and humanity cries how could God allow such a thing to happen. Yet every year we kill 40,000 babies and okay with "its a woman's right to make a choice." We DEMAND that we have a choice but we resent the fact the God has a choice. Unlike our choices which many times bring further disasters, God's always work for the best. |
