Hey peeps,
Wow, thanks for some of the feedback I have gotten on my last blog. I feel very supported in my walk with Christ. I am still working --but hey, who isn't right?
I recently finished When Bad Things Happen to Good People. Wow, what an amazing book!!! At first it seemed so dim...but then it gave a light at the end. There was a chapter about the book of Job and another somewhat looking at the Creation story and Adam and Eve. I have never looked at the stories in that way before...Job as a fable, because who could be so good? But there was so much more to that story that I didn't know about!! And in the Creation story, I have never caught where it says "Then God said 'Let us make man in our image, in ourlikeness and let them ful over..." Genesis 1:26. God made man in his image yes, but also in the image of animal. Yet, there is a clear distinction between animal and man. Man has the ability to make choices and not have to "follow nature's order of life," we can love, we can chose to do something right, or something wrong. And that ability of choices are why bad things happen from humans to humans. Since we have the ability to chose then we have the ability to chose the wrong way. Now with nature occurences, happen because God created this world and nature, and nature and weather sometimes just takes its course. This s not God's blame, but he can help. I believe nature takes its course and people sometimes chose to do wrong, and God isn't to blame, but with him we can make it good. "It is what we do as a result of what bad happened to us" that really matters.
If and when we ask God for help, he is there!
I gotta go for class now, but I will write more later! Have a fantastic day!!!
God bless
Luv
