Frequently Asked Questions
Don't you sometimes ask:
"Why does God allow ... War ... Sickness
... Tragedy ..."?
When God gave His creation freewill, then the door was open for bad
things to happen. Freewill is a good thing. It allows us to greatly enjoy
God's love, because our love towards God is a voluntary response.
However, freewill has a downside. There are those who abuse it and do
awful things. This causes bad things to happen to people who don't deserve
such treatment.
Fact One:
Everyone, absolutely everyone has fallen short of God's glorious holy standards
for their lives:
- You might not have murdered - but you probably have lied.
- You may not have slept with someone else's wife or husband - but
you probably have hated someone or been unjust or cruel.
Sin is not just sexual sin or murder, it includes being greedy, jealous,
and envious. It includes our thought life too! All that we think in our
imaginations is known to God. That is why Paul the apostle can write:
(Romans 3:23 NKJV) "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory
of God". All includes me and it also includes you.
