God is the Artist. Creation is his Art. I do not mean these things figuratively but literally. When you understand this, you shall know why God allows evil and suffering.
I hear the rhetorical blasphemy, “Where did God come from?” The answer is obvious… but a remark in the guise of a question is insincere.
I shall pretend to answer the false question by answering it truthfully: GOD IS THE SOURCE.
You do not understand? The obvious is beyond your comprehension?
A DERIVATIVE IS NOT THE SOURCE.
Are you still confused? Seriously?
If God is the source and a derivative is not the source then God did not come from anything but himself, by definition. Anything before him would be God instead… unless something comes before that. We know for a fact that there is always a beginning. To reach the very source, you must find the very beginning... something that always existed.
Take heed that time and sequence are derivative. We know this for a fact. There is no present without a past and there is no future without a present. There is no reaction without an action and no effect without a cause.
Why allow evil and suffering?
Why not? You are evil. You cause suffering. If you don’t
like these things, then stop.
Very well said my friend. Creation is the Art of THE ARTIST. Man had a beginning, it was by the hand of The Artist. God is apart from creation and did not have a beginning, otherwise he would not be God. When we see things from the perspective of The Artist we would be short sighted to deny evil and suffering as Art.
ReplyDeleteUnlike the phonies, you understand. You bother to see what is obvious.
DeleteThe human race was given so many chances in the beginning and they didn't even come close. They are a failed people who have no choice but to need saving, and even then they often reject that as well. If they really want Hell, then they can have it.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. That is proven in this world. THEY turned it into a hell.
DeleteIt is amusing that evil people would question why suffering is allowed. Taking responsibility would be a step towards solving the problem. And that is something they utterly refuse to do.
ReplyDeleteThey DO evil and CAUSE suffering, yet they whine about it. Their hypocrisy is without shame.
