"Theodicy, the attempt to rationalize why an all-good, all-knowing,
all-powerful God would allow such pain, is the hardest nut to crack for
religions that believe in that sort of deity."
In running into this term while watching everyday tragedies unfold before my eyes, I can't help but realize that we have lost complete and total sight of the promise we have, given to us by God, through Jesus. God never said this world would be peaceful or that it would be alright or that it would be fixed. Throughout his Word, God explicitly tells us that this world is IMPERFECT, BROKEN, FALLEN, DOOMED, and DESTINED FOR DESTRUCTION.
But we have become so enamored with it, that we would rather REPAIR it, or at least try to, as opposed to embracing God's Word and promise of a new heaven and a new earth.
COME LORD JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
