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: Shael, Why God would sacrifice His sone is something that can only be grasped by the gift of faith, which apparently your friend at work does not have. pray that God grants her that gift. 1 Cor 1:22 For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; 1 Cor 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, 1 Cor 1:24 but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 Cor 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. What is more we can expect to be treated as was Jesus by the world. So, in a sense your friend is correct. God may not protect you any more than His Son except in eternal life and the resurrection. Matt 10:21 "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. Matt 10:22 "You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved. Matt 10:23 "But whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes. Matt 10:24 "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. This is known as The Scandal of the Cross. Emmaus |
