If God Is So Great! Why is the world he created so terrible?

4 responses

lizshab There is no IF. God is great and all he creates is good, just like him. He did not create a terrible world; he created a perfect world. It was the sin of mankind that brought all the terrible things into it. Thankfully, God has also provided a way out of all...

Born again Christians, need help here. . .

Have you heard from God? I've been praying to Him that I want to hear from Him but still haven't. I know self pity is a sin but I really want to hear from Him.

lizshab If we are going in faith that God's Word, the Bible, is true, just like Him; then we can see from many verses that God does indeed hear our prayers. Psalm 65:2, Hebrews 10:22-23, John 15:7. 1 John 5:14-15. We also know there are many examples of God hearing...

Do Pets Go To Heaven

lululastrange @lululastrange (339) • United States 5 Jun 09

I know that the Catholic Church says that animals don't go to heaven, but every pet I have ever had they have distinct personality. I can't imagine that a creature with a personality and some forward thought couldn't go to...

lizshab I think pets go to heaven, they are part of God's creation. He has given us the ability to love them and take care of them, and they are innocent creatures...they certainly aren't going to the other place!

diamania @diamania (7011) • Netherlands 5 Jun 09

lizshab I would suggest reading books and magazines, go to your local library and just start reading. Watching TV can also be a good tool, hearing the language and also practice saying what you hear.

What is the origin of Christmas?

JB @joynatarajan (335) • India 1 Jun 09

Is it Biblical? If so, how can it be proved? If not, then what are its origins and why is it observed? Also, if it is not Biblical, is it right to observe it?

lizshab Christmas is not a Biblical tradition in any way. It cannot be proven as a Biblical tradition. The origins of Christmas have to do with the Emperor Constantine, who was a Roman Emperor from 304 - 337. He believed in some form of Christianity and wanted his...

Gold or Diamond?

jellymonty @jellymonty (2352) 29 May 09

Like they say "all that glitters is not gold" and "diamonds are a girl's best friend" So just out of curiosity, which would you choose to have in abundance, gold or diamond? and why would you make such a choice? Which is more...

lizshab I would not choose diamonds. Watching the cost of human life in diamond mining was enough to turn me off forever (Blood Diamond). I don't even want an engagement ring. Gold is nice but I can live without. But if I had to choose it would be gold.
