Judging God, Part 1

Judging God, Part 1 August 3, 2009

It’s amazing how many people want to second-guess God.
You’ve heard them. In fact, you’ve probably mouthed some of these things yourself.

“If I was God:

  • “I could cure cancer.”
  • “I would bring that little boy back to his family.”
  • “I would stop all the senseless wars.”
  • “I would stop religions from fighting.”
  • “I would stop AIDS.”
  • “I would end poverty.”

All of these things are worthy things to ask God to intervene. After all, a child’s death seems so meaningless. A widow without heat on a cold winter’s day is beyond sad. A mother who doesn’t get enough nutrition to even nurse her baby is inexcusable. We want to right all of these wrongs, and we think if we had supernatural abilities, we would do it.

After all, God is good, right? He is love and light and everything good. He knows all. He sees all. He has all power. God has all of these abilities to right the wrong. Certainly, He could, so why doesn’t He? At least that’s way we reason…..
