How can the created be greater than the Creator?

2006-06-24 12:40:24 · answer #1 · answered by freedomnow1950 5 · 0 1

When I was growing up, I learned this prayer: "God is great, God is good, And we thank him for this food: By his hand we all are fed, Give us, Lord, our daily bread." Any of you use that? Short, simple, good theology. And when you’re done, the potatoes are still warm. What I want to ask you this morning is whether you believe this prayer. Specifically, do you believe that God is good?

It’s easy to just reflexively answer, "yes." We know that’s what we’re supposed to say. And of course, it’s easy to say "God is good" when things are going well. But when we’re suffering, when we’re going through a time of pain, or difficulty, or trial, then it becomes more of an open question, doesn’t it? Our response at those times to the question of whether God is good doesn’t come so quickly and automatically. We wonder, "If God is good, then why this?" Why this illness, why this painful relationship, why this financial problem, why this loss, why this disappointment? And so, even if we keep saying to ourselves and others that God is good, there’s a nagging voice in the back of our head that says, "Really?" "Is God really good?"

This morning, I’m going to do two things. First, I’m going to look at what the Bible says about God’s goodness. Second, I’m going to show why it makes a difference in our lives whether we believe that God is good or not.

God is good

The Bible teaches that God is good. He is morally upright and pure. He is just and righteous. There is not the slightest hint of evil, or sin, or wrongdoing in His nature. He is absolutely perfect and holy.

"God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. – 1 John 1:5
"The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him." – Psalm 92:15

"Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong . . . It is unthinkable that God would do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice." – Job 34:10, 12

God always does what is right. Period. God will never treat us unfairly. He will never break His promises. He will never punish anyone unjustly. Now, sometimes we have a problem with this idea, because we have a very high opinion of what we deserve. We believe that we deserve good health. And so when the biopsy comes back positive we conclude that God is treating us unfairly. We have a "right" to financial security and prosperity. So when we get handed a pink slip, we think God has slipped up somehow. We deserve a trouble-free life. So when the storms of life blow through, we grumble against God and His oversight of our lives.

Many people need to believe in a higher power. It's not about god being great or not, the only question that matters is "does god exist?"

Since there is no evidence to support the existence of a higher power, I'm happy to say that we humans are greater. I'm not sure how important it is for us as a species to be greater than a fictional character, but hey, I'll take the win.

Whoever asked this question really cannot spell; however, i myself do not beleive in god simply because i do not beleive in the bible. The stories told yes have good morals but they are simply too farfetched to be real. I have people tell me they are stories lost in translation things get added and take away but if you think about it, what if something was added to the concept of God, what if something was taken away for that fact what if "God" was in fact an alien of sorts thats not too unbeleiveable is it? I'm sure yo uare saying yes it is too unbeleiveable but really what is your God if he is not humanif he is not an actual being then is he not just an idea? If he is an idea then he really doesn't exist. Don't get me wrong I am not trying to get you to beleive what I beleive but please do not try to tell me i am stupid fo beleiving what i beleive in, I am not saying that about you so why put that upon me, isn't there something in your religion that has become known as "The Golden Rule"?

You must have given yourself the name of Professor because you certainly could not have earned that title You know John Lennon once proclaimed they were bigger than God and soon after he was dead Marilyn Monroe said she had no need for Jesus and a week later she was dead God is greater and more wonderful than any human He made us and it is a good thing He has eons of patience Maybe you will come around start with John 3:16

If you look at the top right corner of this block you will find a spell checker. I would suggest that you use it.

I don't think that you can be helped on this site. I would recommend a therapist for you.

Jesus loves you.

Dear Professor, I agree that you have to learn how to spell. Grate is not an adjective. The word you were looking for, oh great one, is g-r-e-a-t. You and the devil should enjoy each other's company in Hades.

If you are going to be here with a question like that I think you should leave the forum of Religion and Spirituality. Honestly, thanks for wasting our time.

God is about human reasoning. God is the Almighty and superior to man because he created us!

Yeah humans are so GREAT.... that they can't even spell on a 4th grade level.

I totally disagree. God is infinitely greater then greatest man.
