80 We Did Not Choose To Be Born Here. - a podcast by Warren Kay and Ian Hartley

Not one of us chose to live on planet earth. It was thrust upon us with all the sadness and sorrow of living and dying here. Not one of us condemns a child born blind or deaf , afflicted with some dreadful syndrome. We are not kinder than God. We can make the best of our sorry situation but it is not fair.

We can bravely say that at the Second Coming all will be righted but what about the present? Does a good future justify a sorry present? Some situations do. Enduring the work of the dentist for a pain free future is worth it. However, in the moral mess we are in, there is no advantage to suffering and finally dying.

What about vindicating God?

Of course, God knows all the above. He sees us with eyes of compassion and understanding. He understands the unfairness of the suffering on the planet. He was the innocent one who was tortured, abused, and executed 2000 years ago. This is the only understanding that makes God moral. He has suffered more than all of us put together. Every human pain is his pain for he loves us as if we were the only person on the planet.

Because God is fair (Romans 3:26) and understands the unfairness of our situation, he has gone to great lengths to correct the consequences of Adam’s choice in our lives. The miracles he performed 2000 years ago demonstrated his desire and ability to save or heal us of our hungers, our afflictions, our sadness’s, and our eventual death.

Join us as we look at the evidence to support these claims. www.rediscoveringgod.ca has the PDF document with all the verses.
