Discussion Groups

Chris and I like to be independent so thats why we have 2 posts within minutes of each other and standing right next to each other... ha

Anyways, I wish i could speak Czech also. There were some good things and questions asked tonight that i am sure somewhat got lost in translation. One question asked by Jirka in my group was clear

In response to the question "Why dont you believe in God or what is holding to back?"


If God is so righteous and good, then why is there so much unrighteousness in the world? Why are so many people dying of diseases around the world. Shouldnt God help them, they didnt do anything to get those diseases?

I was and am stumped. Good question from a czech student.

Post answers if you have any.

  1. God is good, Satan is not, and he is alive and well in the world. Suffering is part of our human condition - goes back to the original sin ..........better to stick with what you know - that God is good and faithful despite life circumstances - love you guys! Dion

  3. Sin still exists and God - who has given free will - will not stop sin, that was why we need Jesus, so that we could choose to live different from the sin and evil around us. If God did stop all of the evil, we would be unthinking, unfeeling robots- He wants us to want Him.
