You prefer questions. Especially in matters of the spirit. The reason is simple – all else equal, you don’t know and will never know while on this earth. If you have a question and come up with an answer, He’s not going to appear and congratulate you for winning the daily double…

And in a universe where you are the creation, you have no idea the tools of the creator.

It’s funny that the Bible says that God created the heavens and the earth. Because of the time Genesis was written in, specifics of today really wouldn’t apply. It’s entirely possible that that only meant the solar system. Or the Milky Way. Or literally everything everywhere. Or just this version of reality. Probably something even more that you can’t even comprehend though. 🤔

So there is the eternal question then… Why? To which there is no real answer other than your cliché response…

One theory your Bible study group wants tossed out was that God is too majestic not to be worshipped… which is at the same time both true and probably still not the answer, lol… 😆 

Right now your running theory is that cliché…. “Why Not?”

One of a million things that has an answer, but it doesn’t matter. Very few of the answers actually matter.  I mean just your favorite analogy of trying to explain taxes to a housecat pretty much covers the idea of human beings attempting to comprehend their creator.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons why you put stock in evolution. That our species is supposed to evolve. That we are supposed to “level up”…  and maybe after a few more hundred thousand years, our species might actually evolve to a point where our brains can comprehend the next level in God’s little project.

Maybe that’s at a point when God reveals Himself to us in a way we can understand him in terms other than “God”.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons why you love SG-1. The benevolent Asgard were an advanced race of aliens who were friends of ancient humanity and sought to protect them, but the latter were to primitive to understand the former. So the Asgard projected illusions of themselves as great warriors to mimic the Norse gods… Leaving behind on many human worlds chambers of knowledge to test the human descendants.

Eventually one day said human society would advance to a point when the descendants of those cavemen could answer a question of a famous mathematical formula – at which point the Asgard would know they have reached the next step of development and would introduce themselves as what they truly were. 

Maybe it’ll be like that one day. Maybe not. 🤔

There is a reason for all things. God’s Plan. Ultimately that’s always the answer, which makes sense because it’s the most annoying answer possible.

Being able to just let go though… having enough trust in faith… anytime there is a conundrum of questioning what is right just and fair… always knowing “God Is Just”… You have so much less anxiety in your life because you have this faith.

It is rather disturbing though because honestly you do know that nobody’s really that great of a person… The human race isn’t exactly filled with saints and never has been. And even those saints had pasts…

God is Just. Jesus paid the price for our sins. Some people have a problem with that. “Why couldn’t God just forgive us?” “Why did Jesus have to go through all that”, etc.

Which is odd considering this society still holds true to systems of compensation, action and consequence, etc. Many scoff at the idea of offering sacrifices, etc, but it’s honestly no different than supply and demand at the end of the day. Jesus being the ultimate sacrifice ultimately squared it. 

Humanity’s collective sins are nearly infinite. Therefore only an infinite sacrifice would make up for them.

So many questions that made complete sense When you actually asked others wiser than you. Is there more to it than that? Of course. Why on earth wouldn’t there be? 😂

Redemption and peace. Jesus gave everything so we would have them.

Everything makes sense in a way that you just can’t explain to anyone else.  every single line of every conduit on that motherboard of motherboards ties together neatly in some greater construct that is existence.

So many things explained only in terms of your slightly evolved ape brain can understand. What do you need answers for? You wouldn’t be able to understand them. it’s all part of the wondrousness of Faith. You know that answer that annoys you. Faith in Him and His plan.

His plan. Our Free Will. Two things completely linked and separate at the same time.

There’s nothing you can say to help her. Nothing you can do. It’s between her and Him. He is her answer. Keep praying for her. Keep giving distance so He can work without your biases. Hold as true as you can so your prayers carry more weight. If she could only see what you saw in her… If she could only see…
