HONESTLY I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS, BUT ANSWER THIS ONE FIRST.
Young man you should be aware that I am neither a preacher nor a teacher in Christ and therefore would not blaspheme in trying to answer you with much explanation according to the divine holy book of God the Bible.I only believe in God through Christ and that has been doing me allot of good all my life since I acknowledged Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour with no doubt.I am not concerned what any preacher may say like Graham or what the so called scholars you mentioned were saying.I don't even believe in the pastor of the church I attend rather I believe and worship God through Christ.You see what I always insist to tell people is that only God has the final judgment and say,No man should fight for God the Alfa and Omega rather He God is the one to fight for his people in times of need.You can as well ask God to show you the rightful way on how to worship him and I believe that is your right as a human being created by God and believe you me he will surely show you the right path to follow and worship Him (God).
Remember God Himself allowed the devil with all the powers he posses and the same God has every authority and power to arrest the devil but He God never did so rather allowed the devil to be moving freely uncaged so who am I to challenge what God has created?I strongly believe God to have every reason to all things he created.Me my self did not know how I came to be,did not select who is to be my parents or which tribe and country to be born.I just accepted what and how I see myself to be in as much as my destiny.Even most achievements I acquired in life were not based on my efforts rather they happened to come my way hence some have tried more than I me but could not reach to their expectation the same way some acquired more than as i do but does not mean they are of higher struggle than me.Such is life.
I hope you are aware that the same God showers the rain on the vegetation of both the righteous and the wicked,the believer and unbeliever.you should also know that the same God created the sun that dries the cloth of both the good and the evil ones without discriminating is all these not enough reason for us to live and let live with tolerance to one another and leave the rest of every matter to the creator (God) that is wisdom.Is because we lack wisdom that is the cause of every human problems today.
Tell me who on earth or which group of individuals or country in the whole universe can withstand God.An ordinary Tsunami,Earthquake,Volcano just to mention but few can destroy the whole universe and no body or group and even the whole world can stop any of the mentioned incidents if they turn to catastrophe.
Remember among all the early prophets no one has seen God but the same God has appeared and spoken to many without any one seeing him.Has any of the prophets,messengers,leaders ever died and resurrected if not only one messiah we know as JESUS CHRIST? Has any one performed the amount of miracles Jesus did perform while on earth?But we still doubt what ever massage he preached on earth,so we should wait till He Jesus Christ returns then we will all believe in Him though might be late.
So this is all I can inform you with the little I know without going much deeper.
Thank you.
