If God is good...

The question, "If God is good and loving, why is there so much evil in the world?" is often used by Atheists to disprove his existance. The answer is simple. God is love and we are seperated from him by sin. We live in a sinful world of death and tragedy. Since God is love, he provided a way for us to be redeemed. His son Jesus came and died for our sins. Without this "out" there would be no hope. Thank God he provided a way for us. I urge all non-believers to please read the Bible with an open mind and an open heart. I mean this in love and without accusation. We can debate all we want (and I love debating) but the real story here is you must try it. If you read the Bible honestly, and find NOTHING of merit in there, then put it away forever, but at least try. Then you can say (in all honesty) "I studied it and it is not good". It's about credibility. More than that it is about salvation. We can debate, but God is good and being a Christian is good. Try it.
