There are many questions different people has asked me !
Today I want talk about this 4 questions !
- Who created God ? Where did God come from ?
- How was the planet earth was made ?
- How did man / mankind come to existence ?
- How can an all powerful , all loving God , allow for evil, pain , atrocities , sickness and suffering in this world
1- Who created God ? Where did God come from ?
The answer is that the question does not even make sense.
It is like asking, “What does blue smell like?”
Blue is not in the category of things that have a smell,
so the question itself is not right .
In the same way, God is not in the category of things that are created or caused.
God is uncaused and uncreated—He simply exists. If God was created He was not God !
How do we know this?
We know that from nothing, nothing comes.
So, if there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence, then nothing would have ever come into existence.
But things do exist.
Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been in existence.
That ever-existing thing is what we call God.
God is the uncaused Being that caused everything else to come into existence.
God is the uncreated Creator who created the universe and everything in it.
God is the creator and sustainer of the universe
2- How was the planet earth was made ?
Some scientists say that this beautiful planet and universe came from a cosmic cataclysm or a huge explosion , known as the Big Bang .
Then from this big explosion came this beautiful planet earth!
I need to much faith to believe in this theory!
Who or what caused the big bang?
Which makes more sense—that everything came from nothing
Or that everything came from something or someone?
The bible answer is : Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
3- How did man / mankind come to existence ?
Some scientists say we came from the sea , others we evolved from aquatic apes.
If humans evolved from animals—from apes, for example—why is there such a huge gap between the intellectual abilities of humans and those of apes?
Why there are no apes becoming human ? They are still apes !
The evolution always became de same specie , not the change of kind !
Even Scientists don’t agree on evolution. Despite decades of research, scientists have yet to come up with an explanation for evolution that they all can agree on.
If scientists can’t agree on evolution—and they’re supposed to be the experts—are you wrong to question the theory ?
Genesis 1:27 “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
What does God say about you ?
Psalm 139:13-14 “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
You’re so beautiful! God created you in His image !
You’re so beautiful ! You look like your father ! You don’t look a monkey !
The last question :
4- How can an all powerful , all loving God , allow for evil, pain , atrocities , sickness and suffering in this world
Because of that some people say : There are to much evil in the world , there can not be a God !
1- Evil is the direct result of man’s choice !
God created man and woman , not robots !
God gave to man Free Will !
Do you know what means to have free will !
Is the right of choice !
God permits evil to exist because it is the downside of free will,
and free will is necessary if man is to be truly made in the image of God.
Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image
When you have choice it’s good ….. but also you have consequences of your choices !
The result of this cumulative disobedience is the evil that we see in the world today and the suffering caused by that evil, not by God
2nd point about Pain and Suffering : Pain and Suffering can be good !
I heard and watched a documentary about one girl in USA she had a strange problem that is called CIPA : Congenital Insensitive to Pain
She can not feel pain ! The problem may sound good !
What do you think ? If you don’t feel any pain ! Could it be good or bad for you ?
But the reality is , if the girl steps on a nail , she doesn’t fell pain , it can puncture the skin , create an infection and nobody could be even aware of it !
She could put a hand on a burner and not know that a hand is burning !
Her mummy said : I pray one pray every night :
God please let my daughter help feel pain !
My question is this : in our finite existence we can see how important is the pain to warn us that something is wrong !
Is it impossible for God in his infinite wisdom to allow pain in our lives to help us know, that something is wrong ?
One of reasons of pain is to revel to us the consequences of sin .
If you and I could sin against God , disobey God and there is no pain , no suffering….. We just keep on doing the same thing !
So we have choices, we have freedom to choose but when we choose to be disobedient to God we are going to suffer consequences!
One of the reasons He allowed pain and suffering is for our own protection!
Think about it this way , it also alerts us to danger .
Suppose there were no pain and suffering
Let’s say for example that you broke your kneecap , tore the ligaments , and tore the cartilage and there was no pain. Imagine what kind of condition you would be in very shortly.
So all pain and suffering is not bad because alerts us the danger
Pain and suffering also revels who we are !
We think we are strong
We think we are patient
We think we have everything in control and all of a sudden you are lying in bed , there is awful pain and suffering and you don’t have solution , you don’t have answers, and what happens?
We recognise our need of God !
I have experienced many miracles in my life , it was in the midst of pain and suffering.
The most powerful lessons on my own life have been a result of coming to the end of myself and recognising God !
Everything that drives you and me to God is good for us.
Yes, there will be evil and suffering along the way.
We can rejoice
Romans 8:18 “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us”.
You have to focus your life on eternity!
You should live for eternity!
Considering all the evil in the world, does God really care about us? Yes
Not only does He care, but He cares enough to have sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to suffer and die for us.
Because of God’s great love and sacrifice, we now have a way to be reconciled with Him through Christ.
Our lives are defined by the choices that we taking right now !
You can change your future by your choices today !
Jesus died for you at the Cross to save you , to give you life and abundant life
God gave you free will , you need to choose to serve him !
Please , don’t waste your life , you have just one life, and soon will pass.
Do you want to be free , that freedom for which God created you ?
If so , please bow your head and pray with me ! One line at time !after me !
Heavenly Father, you brought me to listen /read to this by your will
This is no accident, I’m here because you wanted me here
Today I cry out to you ! I am in chains on the inside !
Free me from my sin
Forgive me from my sin
Take my will and make it yours
Make me a new person and let my life follow your roadmap
I need you , I want you , I submit to you Lord Jesus
Be my Saviour from now on. Thank you for answering my prayer
In your holy Name I ask this and pray , Amen !
This does not mean that we will no longer suffer in this world, but it does mean that we will spend eternity with God.
There will come a day when God “will wipe every tear from” our eyes and, “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things” will pass away (Revelation 21:4).
