God permits evil in the world, and it strikes both the just and the unjust...
But God is Just...
it stands to reason that our efforts to be good count when we ask for His aid..
. In the end, it has to be better to seek Him and His ways.......
That mix is not impressive when it it subjected to your "it stands to reason" screen.
He permits evil to strike the just, too, when he could not permit it?
This is called being 'Just'?
It stands to reason our efforts to be good count when asking for His aid, but not when he's deciding who gets struck by evil?
It has to be 'better' to seek Him and His ways because... maybe he'll help at that point?
As a sort of insurance policy, I guess.
And he wants all that obeisance. He wants groveling from the sufferers he created, innocent and guilty alike, young children and the aged, beaten down, sick and dying alike.
I don't like this picture and won't participate. But I lead a good life in so far as I am able, and if that's the screen rather than groveling, see you in heaven, dude. |
