I Probably Think Too Much About Religion
I have a deep theological question here, and I've been searching for an answer for quite some time. Here goes:
With all the suffering in the world, all the natural disasters, all the diseases, I sometimes wonder if things haven't spun out of even God's control.
Where does it say unarguably in the Bible that God is in control of everything? Maybe I've missed it. I wonder, however, if we -- as mere humans with a limited intelligence when you consider the vast infinity of what we do not know -- have applied characteristics to God that aren't necessarily there.
For example, IMHO, stem-cell research just may be God's way of bringing about "curing" of diseases that have spun out of even God's control?
In conclusion, I'm glad I bumped into an associate pastor at First UMC-Richardson a few weeks ago. She, too, has many, many questions, but here is what she said: "God is bigger than the questions."
