(July 26, 2016 at 8:12 am)Drich Wrote: Where you only see the bad, in war and hunger I see a space program, air lines, Genetically enhanced foods, opportunity for us to serve and feed the hungry and homeless, I see atheism keeping religion from taking us into another dark age, in that it provides a check for the self righteous. I can see a potential balance in all things... If I can see this balance and the 'good' that can come from your bad, then why wouldn't God be able to see the same? If there is indeed a 'greater good' that comes from a generation's suffering the benefits the whole of Humanity, then why would God want to take that what you call suffering away?
Here is the Scriptural support for what Drich is saying:
"But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." - Genesis 50:20
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." - Revelation 21:4
