Maybe he made that first. Then looked at it and said “Wow, I could make a lot of other stuff based a little bit on this creation!”. Sorry, just a thought. :p
Anyway, my question would be: “Will you tell/teach me EVERYTHING?”.
I figure that covers all the bases.July 18, 2003 at 1:55 am #69538Someguy03

MemberOk, here is my SERIOUS question. I would ask him if there was life on other planets and why they have never bothered to contact us (that we know of!;))

Well I dont know what your religion is or what you believe in… but doesnt the devil make evil in the world? the devil will get into anything he can to make God mad and to make the world into basically a living hell. God made people, but he made them sinful and thats why you ask Jesus in your heart to wash away your sins.. so to make a long story short, the devil makes people evil–not God.
Well thats what I believe…i dont know what you believe in so i hope i sorta answered your question 🙂
If I were to ask God a question, id ask him why he made a mosquito! they are so annoying and i dont think they really have a purpose :p

MemberI would probably ask, “Do you have a position open for a assistant God? I would love to apply for that one :o”
Seriously, I would ask “How do you manage to control this huge universe with so many planets, so many life forms, so many people (most hazardous form of life) ?”
I really do wonder about this 🙂

MemberThe questions I would like to ask God are…
“Why do really good people have to suffer at the hands of evil people?”
“Why didn’t you prevent it?” 🙁August 3, 2003 at 5:55 pm #69547Venomman
MemberI would ask God why the sky is blue, grass green, etc.

MemberI agree totally with Allison. If I were to ask God one question, it would be: How exactly do I get to heaven? This would suppose, of course, that I really believed there was a God and that He would be willing to answer me.
To those who would ask, “If there is a God, why do the innocent suffer?” I would say that if there is no God, then what makes them innocent, and who cares if they suffer?
By this I mean that if there is no God, what is there to define right and wrong and who is innocent and who is not, and if love is of God but if there were no God, who would have feelings to care about suffering?
For, Donna, who asks, “WHY DEAR GOD DID MY DAUGHTER COME INTO THIS WORLD NOT ABLE TO WALK, AFFECTED WITH CEREBRAL PALSY?”, I can kind of relate to you.
I was born with a disability and have had many family members die prematurely because of cancer and other ailments.
There are numerous verses in Scripture which substantiate the view that physical healing in mortal life is not guaranteed in the atonement and that it is not always God’s will to heal.
The apostle Paul couldn’t heal Timothy’s stomach problem (1 Timothy 5:23) nor could he heal Trophimus at Miletus (2 Timothy 4:20) or Epaphroditus (Philippians 3:25-27). Paul spoke of “a bodily illness” he had (Galatians 4:13-15). He also suffered a “thorn in the flesh” which God allowed him to retain (2 Corinthians 12:7-9).
God certainly allowed Job to go through a time of physical suffering (Job 1–2). In none of these cases is it stated that the sickness was caused by sin or unbelief. Nor did Paul or any of the others act as if they thought their healing was guaranteed in the atonement.
They accepted their situations and trusted in God’s grace for sustenance. It is noteworthy that on one occasion Jesus indicated that sickness could be for the glory of God (John 11:4).
I know that it’s hard to understand the injustice of suffering and why it exists, but I believe that there are just some things we were never meant to fully understand.
I think it’s always good to be content and to count your blessings, because no matter how bad your situation may be, there’s always someone somewhere who’s in a worse situation.
