So we all know life isn't fair right? We lose a game of monopoly. A young boy gets cancer and dies. The family dog gets loose and runs away, never to return, or worse your dad up and leaves, never to return. The car won't start and you're already late etc. etc. etc. So people say life isn't fair. Yes those things might all be things that happen on a normal basis, but here's where I flip it on it's head. Was it fair for us to have life? Was it fair for God to decide to create this universe? We might not even have the opportunities to live and breath and love if it weren't for God deciding to create us!

Be thankful for what God has done!!! This post was for you people who read it to think. Every time a "life isn't fair thing happens, to think to God, Was it fair for you to decide to create me? No it wasn't! We weren't even around to deserve it! He gave out of the goodness of His heart all the good things we have, including the love of God that was shown to us from the good story of Holy Jesus!!!!!!
 
Come on. Would someone please affirm that this post is worth putting up. Did anyone get anything out of this?
 
how about this! whenever something bad happens just thank the lord since he said that everything will work together for good!
 
I think what you bring up is a lot deeper than you think. Did God have the right to create us? Did God have the right to gamble with our own welfare? Did he have the right to put many of souls in a position of immense suffering? Perhaps suffering that will last forever. How can one claim with certainty that God had the right to do this?

I do not see your claim as a positive twist but a deep question that deserves much thought.

It's okay I like to think deeply. God has every right to do what He pleases because of who He is. There was nothing before Him and He's beyond all created things. Created things are so far below what He is that there is no comparing what He does or does not have the right to do in human terms. God doesn't gamble, it's impossible because He has all knowledge. He didn't put anyone in the position to have immense suffering. We did that to ourselves with Satan's help. The Holy Bible says that God wishes for each person to join with Him in the perfect unity being good like Him. But not everybody's good. Actually nobody's perfectly good. Except Jesus; that's why He died. So we wouldn't suffer the just punishment for a soul that's been tainted with the rebellion against a good and perfect, holy God.
