People are very curious of one another's beliefs. A lot of the times, people just wanna know why. Why, oh why, oh why?
Once, a buddy posed an all-time favourite. "If God exists, why is there suffering in the world?" So I answered in the only way I know how. "I dunno. Maybe He hates you." Hahahahhahahah!!!!
Who can resist? Hahahhaha!!!
I guess that's what you get when you ask me these BIG question. Fact is, I really don't know. And I'm not about to pretend that I do. Even if I did attempt to give you a serious answer, would you truly be satisfied?
I know I wasn't. Even now, as a Christian, I don't think I can answer that - at least not to anyone's satisfaction.
So, what can I tell you about God? I can tell you of the peace that fills my heart. I can tell you of the joy that fills my soul. And I can tell you of the completeness that fills my life. But no, I can't tell you why there is suffering in the world. Not to your satisfaction.
And no, God probably doesn't hate you. I was kidding.
muahaha..that's a good one.."god hates you" :D
ReplyDeletei guess one must just believe in him..
Yeah glinar, I can be a pain sometimes making fun of it all. But it helps ease people into an otherwise uncomfortable subject. :) The thing about God is, you can never actually explain Him. Each person will have to make his own encounter... wwoOooOoOoo~ :)
ReplyDeleteIt's great that we all experience God in different ways!
ReplyDeleteYeah. And He still hates me. Always lost my way whenever I go to James' church.
