with so many troubles plaguing the world today, it is no wonder the above question surfaces many a times. i am a Christian. i do not consider myself very devout, as i do not claim to live up to my Lord's ways. however, i am not ashamed to say that the above question has been in my mind from time to time. i mean look at the state our world is in now. the really stubborn N. Koreans refuse the terms the rest of the world has stated from them. it seems that the N. Koreans wish to start a war. i dunno about the rest of you guys reading this, but maybe they wish to be like the Japanese in WW2. the dominant asian power. may or may not be true. that is something only the state would know. with all that nuclear power stored up in their arsenal, you could say that they are gonna be the ones pushing their weight around.
then there is the fight between Lebanon and Israel. to be honest, i haven been keeping up with the news. but it seems like the fightings will never end. to top it off, there was a natural disaster that happened around the Indonesian(correct me if i am wrong) region. forgive me for being weak of faith, but then it seems that some of these people do not deserve to be put through the suffering that they are currently going through.
which brings me to something Auntie Dixie asked me before at Genki Sushi. back at that time i din know how to answer, and now i do not profess to know the answer. all i have are questions that depending to each individual's answer, will decide which course of belief the individual will take. the question that she asked was what is the Bible's take on death of children that either die really young, or die before birth. to be honest, i have no idea. anyone has that answer? i mean most or should i say that all Christians know that the way to heaven is through Jesus, by knowing Him and believing in Him and following in His instructions which differ from people to people. but so far i have no idea what He has to say about the question she asked. i was stumped. by the way, this was juz an aside of the question she asked me. well, juz now when i was hanging the clothes (yes i do housework at home. i am a maria), it was probably God, or my inner man asking myself, the following questions:-
do you believe that there exists a God?
do you believe that this God is a fair and just being?
do you believe that He loves all humanity?
after i answered those questions, i then realise the answer to my topic to today. the answer is mine to know, and if you would like to know what i think, you are free to ask. but now it is my question to you, yes you reading my blog now. what are your answers to the questions above? maybe you already have the answer to the questions you were asking all along pertaining to your doubt in the existence to God.
but do know that the above is what i think, though it would be great if you share my views, but if you do not, then it would be better. coz i believe that we all learn things when our thoughts are challenged.
p.s. will try to blog more frequently now. (",)
