Q&A

I do not believe the bible
addresses this but its a
valid question and I do
not know how to
answer it.
Why did God wait 4,000
years to send Jesus
and another 2,000 +
before bringing things
to a close
( the close obviously
having not happened yet )?

Why not have provided
the sacrifice up front
and wipe out the following
6,000 + years of suffering?
Answer to Question

Yes God, why didn& #39;t you
make it easier on all of us?

We know you don& #39;t do
things arbitrarily
and we know there& #39;s
a lesson in here for all of us,
but it sure would have
saved us a lot of
inconvenience.

What& #39;s that, God?
Yes we know you& #39;re
the Potter and we& #39;re
just the clay
but even so.
2/2
Seriously, aside from
the things we& #39;ve learned
about the nature of sin,
the futility of works
based religion,
the incomparable
riches of God& #39;s grace,
His nature and character,
the unblemished accuracy
of prophecy,
1/2
the fact that even when
man knows the outcome
of his actions in advance,
he still won& #39;t obey,
and a host of other things,
it remains that
He& #39;s God and we& #39;re not.

2/2
Even in the Millennium,
with the Lord personally
ruling Earth, all
unbelievers banished,
and Satan bound,
there& #39;s still enough sin
in natural man to rebel
at the first chance he gets.

So I guess we still
haven& #39;t learned.
