Christian, tell me why a “good” God allows so many bad things to happen?
I have always found it easier to accept God’s infinite power than His infinite love. Power is obvious in Creation. But love? That seems too good to be true, but the Bible insists that it IS true. This prayer is my response of praise to Him.
Christian, tell me why you refer to “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit”, yet still say that there is only one God? Why do you say that Jesus is the Son of God, but you also say that He is God Himself? Why don’t you make up your mind?!
Christian, tell me why do you think that everyone is “infinitely valuable”? Some contribute much more to the world than others!
Christian, tell me why you say that everyone is “individually responsible”? Some have lots of advantages, while others are very dis-advantaged.
Christian, tell me why do you believe in the resurrection? Why do you accept such an un-natural event as an historical fact?
Christian, tell me why you feel so secure? Why don’t you worry about the future? How do you know that everything will be all right?
Christian, tell me why you disagree with evolution? Why do you see it as a threat?
Christian, tell me why do you believe that the Bible is God’s word? Wasn’t it written by men just like any other book? Didn’t humans make the choice of which writings were and were not “Scripture”?
This is my prayer for this website, and for everything I do.
This is a story I wrote for Easter, many years ago. It was fun thinking from the different perspective. It may be my favorite of everything I’ve written.
Christian, tell me why do you care so much about “evangelism”? Why do you insist that your way is the only way? Why can’t you live and let live?
