| Publisher Description: Possibly one of the most wondered about Question ever, is WHY - If God is a loving God, then WHY all the pain, suffering, and death, and why do bad things happen to good people? Biblical scholars have been puzzled over the big WHY's for centuries. You might remember that Jesus chose to work with the lowly fishermen of His day, instead of the, so-called, biblically educated. Since I'm a lowly cabinetmaker of my day - I heard and was open to listening to things that made sense, where 2+2=4. I chose not to accept spiritual concepts based on - just believe it by faith - void of evidence. If I understand correctly, it's the Devil that would have us to believe that God the Father would burn and torture us as ONE that's full of vengeance over us breaking the rules. But because Jesus agreed to take our place - it's said He will now forgive us. Humm - what's that make the Father out to be, if not unforgiving? As for me, I'm going to believe Jesus when He told Philip, "If you have seen ME, you have seen the Father."In that statement from Jesus - I see the good news of the gospel being that God the Father is just as gracious, kind, and loving as Jesus - even pleading with us to run away from the Devil's picture of Him.You'll soon discover a far more important and significant reason than punishment - for all the bad and crazy things happening here on our little planet. |
