Bible Note: 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 |
