Precious Balance
God is a very powerful being, he is the one who brought the humans onto earth and we must realize that he can take them out. In my previous blogs I spoke about gods power to kill and if he had any right to kill himself if he punishes people for killing. I have not been able to solve this question and once again I see a situation where he is taking human lives. I ask myself if he has a good reason to do it and realize that for me he does. The Egyptians were not being reasonable and therefore god had to do something but for gods standards that is not enough. In gods standards I don’t think anything is enough, he said if someone hits one cheep you should turn the other. God told the Egyptians “And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:” (Exo.8) This is a threat coming from god and he carried out his threat by saying “For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.” (Exo.9) after some time I realized that god is forced to make these decisions, he is in charge of holding a very precious balance of good and evil. His task is like nothing else and in order to carry it out he must do things which no other human can do. I agree with this but it still left me with another problem if god can make super natural decisions then we are not all equal and that is a very big problem which I have not found the answer to.
