Interesting read.

This is where the left really loses it out of the gate. They believe, even if it’s unsaid, that people are basically good and want to do good and that is obviously, patently untrue.

The question so many people ask is that if God is good, why is there evil and suffering in this world.

Considering the way human beings have revealed themselves to be, the question shouldn’t be why there’s evil in the world, but why there is good in the world and where did THAT come from?

Thanks for the ping, Metmom.

Makes you wonder what the Rabbi tells those parents whose child was randomly murdered for no reason other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. What about the woman who seeks comfort from him because she was brutally raped? And so on, and so on ...

"Considering the way human beings have revealed themselves to be, the question shouldn’t be why there’s evil in the world, but why there is good in the world and where did THAT come from?"

A very good reversal of the typical objection as to how can a good God allow evil and even cause death etc., often raised by anti-theists who presume omniscience in judging the omniscient omnipotent God of the Bible who can and will make all work out for the Good of those who choose the Light over darkness, and who this cannot be charged with being evil for allowing it and judging sin, since it is not evil in the light of the Big Picture which God alone sees and works to effect.

Thus rather than the evil that God does allow and the judgments He does send being a seeming contradiction to the nature of God, it is that keeping the whole world from being a North Korea is a seeming contradiction to Him being Just since such is a result of the choices of man, which we daily see taking place now. The US will end up being part of a North Korea.

And while atheists ask why "where is God" in the light of such evil, then they charge Him with being so by wiping out terminally degenerate wicked nations as the Canaanites - thus rescuing the innocent children from being as their parents and stopping them from infecting other cultures.

I like that flip!

Where did good come from?

Really sick and tired of peon religious leaders making all of the hellbound people feel good about themselves with soft words. IMHO, they work for the devil.

I guess sanctification doesn’t mean anything to the broad road folks?

indeed!
