I am referring to this account in Acts 9:36-43.
I lost my beloved Dorcas. Pardon my asking these "stupid" questions:
1. Is being with God bad? If not, why did Peter raise Dorcas from the Dead? Where is our modern-day Peter to express similar gesture with respect to my beloved Dorcas?
2. Why does a Loving God subject people to so much suffering and anguish or Is there an evil God vs. a good God?
3. Will God Forget the Dead? If not, how if there is no identifiable grave? Or are most ministers merely preaching about the glories of heaven in trying to comfort and encourage me, and my family and the friends of Dorcas? Is Life Fair?
As probably you might detect, I've been reading The Good News for answers, but some questions still linger and persist:
Thanks.

Read "A Stranger In A Strange Land" and acquaint yourself with Dorcas in that book.

Dorcas? *burst into laughter* Like the first person to answer, I'm childish too.

Well, I guess I would be Dorcas' great great great (umpteen greats) granddaughter.
Your questions are never stupid if it leads to gnosis.

I just love that part. I always pronounce it "dork as*s". *snickers* sorry, yes, I am childish
We need more modern-day Dorcases
