Q25: If God only wants good, nice people and a nice world with no wars, how come there still is?

This is a question we all ask.

The disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray. Part of The Lord’s prayer as it has become says; “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

Read it slowly and digest every word. “Thy (God’s) kingdom come.”

How many do you know who are working to bring God’s kingdom to earth? “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”.

How many people go against God’s will in daily life. I am thinking more of grown-ups in government and industry, more than children.

How many people make drugs, bombs, alcohol and land mines and machines of war.

As a civilisation I think we seem to love going to war of some sort or another pretty often.

The greed of ‘Banksters’, money people and the staggering money losses in 2008 shows how people love money too much.

I think that our society loves ‘things’ far too much - but they do not make us happy.

What do you think?
