2. Counselor or Killer
from Dr. Jim Richards · host Dr. Jim Richards
If we believed what religion told us, it would be impossible to believe that God is fair and just. Most Christians struggle with whether God is fair. If we say that God allowed something we are saying He could have stopped it but He didn’t. Religion teaches that killing our relative was the only way God could get to us and teach us something. But would we go to someone who arranged for the destruction of a loved one for comfort or grief counseling? We won’t go to the person bringing pain in our life to find solutions. We will hold a grudge against God or get angry with Him. Job 35:2 says, “Can a mortal be more righteous than God?"
