Tonight, a good pal set me thinking more about God with his many questions like: Why did God let Satan fall and invade the world?; Why did God allow sin to enter the world?; if he knew that all these sins were going to happen then why did he allow it?; don't you think God is such a sadist? blah blah... He felt that he is just a puppet for God to play with - he even depicted a scenario that God has many television sets in front of him that shows all the sufferings of the world. Oh well, I tried providing answers (with the help from the bible and some online resources) but...he was not convinced. well, i tried and I told him that I believed God because of throughout my years of knowing Him, I have seen and tasted His goodness and felt it for Myself.
He was a Christian, and has felt God but what he wants is to have hard-core evidence to support those feelings. still claims that he believes in God's existence but not in His goodness. Told him to come to church to search for the answers himself but he always pang say me...sigh, he is super weird la, but what to do he's my dear friend:)Will just continue to pray that he will not be so depressed all the time and that he'll come one day...(he promised anyway..hmm..)
Oh, I would like to know the answers to these questions too, not that I doubt God or anything but the knowledge will definitely come in handy. Come to think of it, Zhifeng asked me before but I was inadequately equipped to answer him, especially since he asked about what the bible says about sexual purity and I was a little taken back. (think my chicken rice was distracting me at that time, haha) hmm...shall seek Pastors' advice one day....
well, like I told him, I choose to believe rather than to doubt. don't wish to go too much into this but it's our choice to choose what is good, especially when its right in front of us, waiting to be chosen and received.
Once again just want to thank God for giving me the chance of Salvation ("second chance") to experience His love for me.
Time for a good night's rest after so much thinking (helped Jean with her 600-word law essay after my Banking Law paper today...) whew, brain super exhausted need to recuperate.
