I do not understand God.
There are so many questions I have to ask God. There are so many things that I cannot begin to understand about God. I continually feel like I am learning more and more about God each and every day, but within this, I discover that I understand less than I think I do as time passes.
I hear a lot of people say that they can't believe in God because ...
..."How can a God who is loving do this..."
..."How can God have done this?"
..."Why would God allow evil in the world?"
..."How can a good God send people to hell?"
..."How could God have been here before time?"
To those who turn down God because of the questions they have, or because they don't have everything figured out... let me encourage you to keep wrestling with things and ask the tough questions. Trust me, no one has God fully figured out... if they say they have God figured out, they are telling lies out of their butt.
The point is that there are a lot of questions out there in Christianity. We all have the issues and questions. Some people try and shut us down from asking the questions. Have you ever noticed that? Some people seem to have "all the answers figured out".
One thing that I love about God... is that His mind, His thinking, His reasoning is far above mine. If God did things in a way that I could fully figure out and understand...If God had the mind and thought process that I do, the world would be in for a ton of hurt.
I am alright with not having all the answers.
I love that God doesn't expect me to have all the answers, but encourages me to ask the tough questions and talk about them with those around me and search honestly for more understanding of Him.
What are your difficult questions?
Great insight homie, funny I just wrote a blog on this very idea of questions this week as well.
