Questions for God???

Post by Philip »

If you could ask just two questions of God (that He would definitely answer) - with one being a serious question and perhaps rather silly, what would they be?

I'll go first:

Serious: Why do You allow the suffering of innocents?

Silly: Why is my wife not more logical in how she thinks? :P

Who do you consider innocent?

And no, that's not my question.

Ness: Who do you consider innocent?
Young children, infants. And sin-wise - NO one is innocent - if that is where you are going with this. And although even Jesus didn't avoid suffering and I know that the suffering has purposes we can't possibly know - well, that's why I'd like to know some of the answers. Because you or I would intervene in natural disasters, tragedies, etc. But God often does not. Now, the lies are that God doesn't care, is powerless, or doesn't exist. But it's a common question, even amongst people of faith. And yet we know God is a God of unfathomable love for us all. Of course, He uses suffering to point people toward their need of Him and to change them, to give or build faith. And we don't have the all-knowingness that He has. Still...

serious: when exactly I will die? (you know I would plan my missions based on that)
silly: are you real? :D
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 1:6

Serious: Tell me everything you know about me...let’s see if we agree.
Silly: Give me the winning lottery numbers for the next Big Draw.
