Why would God allow bad things to happen to innocent people?
Why would God allow bad things to happen to innocent people? Wrong question. How can a God who knows what I thought about yesterday allow me to wake up this morning and take another breath? Ask yourself that question. We will never know why God allows things to happen. If we could figure that out, then we could know the very nature of the createor of the universe, we would then know what God was all about. If we all could figure that out, He wouldn't be much of a God. There are things that we will never know on this side of eternity/life. God is sovereign. That means that He is the supreme lawmaking authority, subject to no other. Knowing that doesn't mean you have to understand it. It does mean that as believers we have a hope, a hope of eternal life, that we will live forever with God and His only Son in heaven one day. Having a hard time with that one too? Okay, I understand what you must be going through. It's hard to believe in something you can't see or touch. Let me ask you a question, do you have a brain? Well yea, what kind of stupid question is that? How do you know you have a brain? Have you ever seen it, or touched it? No, but the doctor told you that you have one, and you are walking and talking and reading this post right? Evidence that you have a brain. It's the same with a loving God, I can't see Him, but I can feel him and I can see Him work in my life and the life of other people. Look, I couldn't pass up this opportunity today to tell you, as readers of Steeple Media about the greatest choice you could ever make in your life. Jesus Christ was God's son, He came to earth to take the punishment for your sins, so...they're forgiven and forgotten. He offers you a free gift, all you have to do is take it. It's living forever in heaven with Him. The only thing He asks in return is that you tell other people about their free gift once you've got yours. If you would like to know more about your free gift, please e-mail me at
jholden@equipmentlocatorservices.com. I'd love to tell you how and when I got mine. In the mean time, have an awesome day. -Uncle Jesse
