Subject: destruction of earth |
Bible Note: okay, thanks John...but the newspapers / news make a good case for the "inevitable", even if it isn't biblical. I am trying to make a clear case for the NON-destruction of the earth to my son who brought up a good point..."if the world DID get destroyed by so much that is going on in the world now, would that prove that God does NOT exist or at least that he is a liar or impotent?" I told him that God promised Noah He would not destroy the inhabitants of the World AGAIN. But he kept on insisting on the "What If" scenario. He has been reading a lot in school and in the news. He is 15 and won't be comforted by mere dogma. Any ideas? |
