Subject: Why do bads happen to Christians? |
Bible Note: Thank you for this wonderful answer and the detail. I accepted Christ as my savior less than a year ago (am 58 years old) and have since become very active in my church. Am going on a mission trip for two weeks (Nicaragua) the end of May and have been asked to give a talk one night...on any subject of my choosing. Looking back at all my years of being, at best, an agnostic, it was the misery, death, war, disease and hatred that so permeates the world that always made me ask "where is God?". Better yet, my Christian friends wanted me to accept as my savior a 'person' I could neither see, touch or feel (at least in my imperfect reasoning). So now that I'm on the other side of the fence and wanting badly to reach all those, like myself, that kept his heart closed to God's glory, I want to be prepared to witness, to be prepared for those same difficult questions. Even as a Christian there is so much I don't know and so much I know I'll never understand. But I want to learn how to respond to these big questions. I can certainly explain why I finally opened my heart but am eager to do so. But for those hardened against God, they want more practical answers so I am looking for help. Any thoughts? Wade |
