Bible Question: I was asked these questions at work and was wondering if i could get some insight. Why would God allow his son to die for us. Is this not wrong, allowing someone to kill another for any reason. How could God allow this to happen to his own son. Is this not murder. What makes you think he will protect you if he wouldn't protect his own son. This lady that asked these questions does not belive there is a god she believes in evolution. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks |
Bible Answer: Greetings - first of all, when you are with co-workers, I encourage you to not use company time to engage in spiritual discussions. The simplest answer to why did God allow His Son to die is God loves people and He wants us to live!- See Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:9 What makes me think that God will protect me if He didn't protect His Son? His love for me that sent Christ to the cross, to pay MY debt for sin. Since Jesus paid the penalty for my sin in His body - what do I have to fear? The only thing to fear is the wrath of God that remains upon those who reject the substitutionary atonement of Jesus See Romans 5:9 and John 3:36. One who refuses to recognize God sould be the subject of our prayer. It is only through the work of the Holy Spirit that this person can be enlightened. Just keep speaking the truth in love, live as a light before her and don't engage in pointless arguments. Evolution is just a theory - it was proposed to eliminate a Creator. There is much more evidence for "creation" then there is for evolution. You are on the winning team, but don't be arrogant about it! Do read up on creationism so if asked, you will have a ready defense. See 1 Peter 3:15 Blessings, mommapbs |
