I have a grown daughter, and my life has been full of sorrows especially deaths to face. Most of my family are gone. I feel i am at a cross roads now , and have no answers.I am saved , and have studied JOB i think you refered to in your answer.God removed the hedge from Job and let the devil test him . God has removed the hedge from my family many times and I stood steadfast. God has always been in my life.My question is Who or what stoped God from changing his mind. He could have and Not condemed mankind to death ,and especially pain.We loved us yet he alone said we must die yes but why suffer. Pets also were given as mans' companions yet they suffer. I am NOT judging God i am at the present lost in NOT understanding. Guess your saying there is no answer. Thanks for the welcome hope i can learn to use this forum. |
Bible Answer: I've never been very good with words concerning the struggles you've faced and the sorrow you feel. But I hope these will be an encouragement to you at least that is the intent that I have. I first want to bless you for your compassion I can see it in the first message you posted on the 25th. I see taking care of pets as a fulfillment of God's first job he gave man that was to tend the garden. That included the animals as well as plants. As to Why didn't God just forgive Adam and Eve? I believe He did. he covered them in skin of an animal which sacrificed it's life to cover their sin and it was God who did it (Gen 3:21). There are few other things God promised and set in motion at this time as well. 1. He promised a Savior and redeemer. 2 He established the way of redemption through the blood of the innocent. Here he provided skins but later He would provide His only Son. 3. He promised the destuction of the one who caused this all to happen in the first place. Please realise there are three things God cannot do. He cannot lie. He cannot change, He cannot make us love Him. That is the problem with having free will. Unfortunately when Adam sinned he put in to action things that could not be stopped. he gave authority over this world to the devil. He had by his own choice gave the devil authority to influence his life and all the children that would come from him. That is the free will in action and is something God cannot change. This all leads to the suffering we all deal with in this world today. BUT God has fulfilled His promise of a deliverer and redeemer. He has fulfilled His promise of conquering the devil who no longer has authority or should I say we have greater authority than he. And His promised for a new creation still stands. As for condeming mankind to death.The death that took place when Adam sinned was not a physical one but a spiritual one. The Physical death God gave us in Gen 3:22 was actually a blessing. This death was given so that we would not have to live forever in a sinful corrupt world which we made for ourselves through our choices. It was given for us that we could rest from the troubles we face here as long as during our life here was one surrendered to faith in Christ. Please be encouraged although things happen that we may not understand I know that God does not want you to give up. Be strengthen in order to give comfort to those who in like manner may be struggling too. I know I can promise this to you that God will turn this around for you and do great things through you if you stand firm. Love, peace and joy in Christ. |
