The Things I Think About

I want to talk to someone about the things that I think about. The answers are inside.

To look in a place for answers where you have only tried to avoid. I have looked long and hard for a place of retreat in this cruel, dark, and lonely world. I sought refuge in the many idols it has to offer and thought they would help me cope. 

I am done searching on the outside, for a salvation that cannot be found in the world. The only other place to look is on the inside. That is the opposite of what the world teaches. Look for happiness everywhere else except for inside of yourself.

That is where I now look. I have a feeling that the search is not in vain.

A lot of people believe that God created life. But why would God create children, if only to put them in a world where they struggle and suffer? Why would a loving Father extend His Life to something, if only to let that something suffer pain and die? If that were the truth, God would be cruel. He would be vindictive. That cannot be so.

So either a loving God is real, or our unloving world is real. They both cannot be real. They are contradictions of each other. If there is a loving God, He would not make a world where we all struggle with so much guilt and pain. 

Which is real. Well how do you define real?

When something is real, it exists. It does not have to protect its realness, because it will be real no matter what. It cannot be made unreal, so something real must always be real. Nothing can change that it is real or threaten its realness. If something is real than it is real.

What is real cannot be threatened. What is not real does not exist.*

Does the unloving world or a loving God better fit the definition of real?

The unloving world is full of bodies, which decay, wither away over time, and die. All the things in this world eventually corrode. It appears to be a pretty threatened world, in which everyone is always defending themselves.  

A loving God is believed to be omnipotent. He is all-powerful and all-knowing. He is God and always has been. If God knows everything and can do anything, then God cannot be threatened by anything. He does not have to protect Himself, because He cannot be vulnerable! If God cannot be threatened, then He is real.

If God is real, this unloving world must not be real.

If the world is not real, God did not create the world.
