IS GOD RIGHT?

Einstein once said: "God didn't create cold, darkness, or evil,
because they are just the absence of heat, light, and good, which
he did create". This is fairly good man reasoning, but Isaiah 45:6&7
says: "I am the the Lord and there is none else. I form the light, and
create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these
things. The necessary question is: Would God be unjust if he created
evil? Would the end justify the means, with God? - I say, most certainly,
YES. He created, and rightly owns, everything that exists. If God chooses
to create these things as a way to reveal himself; his nature, attributes,
perfection, holiness (hatred of evil), love, omnipotence, omniscience, bring
glory to his Son, and bring many quickened sons to himself, in this
manner - He owns that right. We, as his creatures, don't have that right,
because we're not God; as the Communists, and Humanists think.
They claimed God's end, means rights. Anything one considers the highest
intelligence in the universe is his god. With Com's and Hum's; it's the
mind of man. We've seen the horrible result of that religion.
IS GOD RIGHT?
Is God righteous? He lets babies die.
Is He fair? He hears the hungry cry.
Evil men live lives of comfort and ease.
The good have many a reason to grieve.
Tyranny blossoms while freedom struggles;
Catastrophe comes to multiply troubles.
Strife and contention everywhere grow;
The reason for this – does anyone know?
The answers come through humble introspection.
God finds no pleasure in Man’s dereliction.
He displays his plan of a future resurrection,
Even explains the mystery of Satan’s infection.
Yet, Satan is God’s devil, temporarily to rule;
Just as the black cloth accentuates a jewel.
He’s made for God’s purpose – calamity to strew;
God’s greatness reveal, and forgiveness to show.
Nay – but Oh man, will to God you reply;
Why did you make me, if only to die?
Who is the clay to reply to God so:
Potter, Creator ? - he’s your owner, you know.
If life on earth is as the blink of an eye,
To life eternal – it’s foolish to reply.
God declares He is just, as His attributes cite,
And proves He’s unlimited in all of His might.
There must be good reason, His wrath to be shown,
And just as he promised, the good seed is sown.
Is He not worthy our worship to hold,
-As He gathers his own sheep to the fold?
Questioning God results of superstition.
Man is measured by his inward condition.
God is known only as he, himself reveals.
Revelation displays what superstition conceals.
Glory to God’s son seems the purpose indeed:
His love made manifest, as the prisoners go free.
The Creator creates what is pleasing to him.
It’s all of Holy Design, and nothing of whim.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man, than he lay down his life for his friends.
Job 1:21 The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
Rom 9:20 & 2 Shall the thing formed say unto him that formed it – why hast thou
made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay?
Isa. 35:6 & 7 I am God, and there is none other: I form the light and create darkness;
I make peace and create evil – I the Lord do all these things.
Matt.20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil
because I am good?

Very nicely and poetically composed. Is God right? Well, let me leave the answer to Richard Dawkin, he is rather to the point.
' The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, megalomaniac, sadomasochistic, capricious, malevolent bully.'
But hey, God is the boss, he can do as he pleases. We just need to shut up and kiss his feet. |
