Eternal Dimension....
What is everything we do now, in the time to come?
Time is immesuarable, and life is measurable.
We realize that whatever we do now is futile when we view the future as eternal...
Why do we work so hard when time is always against us?
The Eternal Dimension is the answer to why God would allow disasters to happen, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and death.
God is a loving God. When a person dies without the hope of salvation, it pains Him severely. Why would He allow such disasters to happen, where hundreds of thousands perish?
We, in our human-self, blame God.
We criticize Him for not living up to His promise.
We justify His actions for our own premises.
BUT, we forget the most important thing. In every fair verdict, both parties must have a say!
We didnt allow God to tell us His truth!
Two of God's characteristics are
1) Omniscience
2) Eternal
Omnisicence - God knows everything. The past, the presence and the future. He knows BEYOND everything
Eternal - God created time! He is the ruler of Time exists outside the control of Time.
Thus, if we are to judge, we would lose the case fair and square.
Because, His plan is beyond our foresight.
i.e. I was brought up in an average income family. I lament that I was not born in a rich family. But the experiences that I gained, the wisdom that comes from being such, would not have been if I were in born in a rich family.
Thus, even though I lament, I could not foresee the outcome that being in an average income family would provide
To do so, a being would have to transcend time.
That being would have to be God.
well.. enough of my preaching, I posted this entry because I brought up the topic about the Hurricanes and Earthquakes to my father over dinner, and he gave an excellent answer in reply
- Who are we to judge God?
- Who are we to presume what God would do?
and.. finally.... the best answer
- Who are we?
Maaple...
