I can't imagine that this is week 6 of theology course and I submit two essays.(Although one I have to resubmit and I guess another one need to resubmit as well) Thank God that I got this opportunity to study in theology class and I have a chance to take this great challenge.
I enjoy study the bible in such academic way, it really helps me to explore my vision of the bible and the knowledge of God. However, I struggle very much to prepare class and do the essays. I believe that the course will improve not only the skill of interpret bible, but the writing skill. Writing is my weakest and I really want to improve it. God, please help me.
Principle of Evangelism is my favourite subject because it is a practical subject that teach me how to another some 'THOUGH questions' that non-Christian will ask. For example:
1) Why there is suffering in this world if God is love?
2) Christianity is a killjoy religion...
These really help if I am in the situation that a non-Christian ask these question. SO what is the answer?
1) This is God's world. Suffering and death are not God intended to make in the beginning of the world. God is very sad same as you feel. It was because Evil entered this world and it corrupted every part of the world and humanity, and it leads to death and conflict.
God do not sit down somewhere we cannot see and do nothing, actually, he sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, to come this world and die on the cross and raise 3 days later, it defected the power of Evil. God hate evil as you hate. He promise Jesus will be come back to the earth to bring the judgement and complete the job, restoring the world and humanity. But before the 2nd return of Jesus, suffering still appear because this world still not prefect and it is the consequence of sin. What we can do is align with God and trust in him and he will save us, rather than assert independence of God and condemned.
