David, very good. I wish them well that would believe that they can somehow change human nature by changing God like you would put on a new suit of clothes. I wish them well as I must acknowledge their right to search out God as they wish to understand Him. Notice I said as they wish? That is the problem of their search. They do not seek to understand God as He is but rather as their mind would like Him to be. GOD DOES NOT CHANGE!
Here's the truth. Suffering is inevitable!
The Bible states very plainly and bluntly in Job 5:7, "Man is born to trouble." Between the cries of birth and the tears of death, our years are touched by anguish and grief. No one is exempt, not even our Lord. We can however, choose how to respond to suffering. We can become bitter and broken or we believe in Christ and His suffering and accept our trials in trust of His name.
The cross always reminds me that God can always use suffering and even death to create something beautiful.
After 2000 years of His offering, I always think, won't we ever learn to accept the risen Christ as our Savior!
Hope you are well,
James
