38. Excuse
"Why does God allow evil in this world?"
Answer: Freedom of choice is the creators gift to the human race.
"This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live." (Deuteronomy 30:19)
Sin originated in man, not in God. God prevents sin's dominion. (Romans 6:14).
God has, at his own cost, provided a remedy. "I am the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:6)
39. Excuse
"There is so much suffering."
Answer: This is not the world as God planned it-the world that he said was "very good" (Genesis1:31). It is the world in which nman has spread his sin. As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it (Job 4:8).
God has provided an alternative.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."(Romans 6:23)
It is not the world that God intends to establish (Isaiah 65:20)
