I was listening to something interesting the other day
when someone mentioned putting God on trial for some of the atrocities
in the world. If God is the creator of the universe and all that is, or
all that ever will be, how can we put him on trial, he's our creator. We
can't put our spiritual master on trial can we, he'll just escape anyway
if we convict him, won't he. He's got to be smart enough to break out a
prison.
As a child I often thought about God and why he would allow such
suffering throughout the world. It never made sense to me when I was
child and it still doesn't make sense to me today. Why would the
creator, want us to suffer, with even the littlest of problems. Other
religions have explained it as if God was teaching us a lesson and
that's why we have hardships in our lives.
Do you think God ever went through these hardships? Did God have
problems finding a job or gathering some food? Does God even eat? Okay
now I'm getting off the topic here, (I wonder what God does eat)... if
children do something wrong, most of the time their parents will
discipline or correct them. If adults to things wrong, the government
will discipline and reprimand them. Sometimes these punishments can be
severe. It depends on the crimes committed.
If man has to be put on trial for committing crimes like murder,
genocide, and general atrocities towards mankind, should God also be put
on trial or is he above man because he's God. I can't imagine the
creator of the universe ever being put on trial for man's crimes against
humanity or other men, but it seems like someone who is all powerful and
all knowing could help his children out of this little mess that we're
in today.
Couldn't God help us like we help our children. We as parents might not
have all the answers, but we do not claim to have them. We are not all
powerful and all knowing, like we would assume God to be. When is God
going to help us solve some of our major world problems, like genocide
and starvation.
Putting God on trial might not solve all of our problems today but it
would be nice to have some help with our problems. If he created us to
please him, do we have to go on trial one day, for all the things we did
or ignored while we were alive. Something to think about isn't it. |
