many of us are familiar with the Christian God, Yahweh of the Bible the creator of the world and man. some of us are also familiar with Jimmy Neutron, boy genius; a cartoon character that was created by nickelodeon and was a favourite for many kids.

at first look, they look nothing alike, but at closer look there is a similarity between the two. the patterns at which they operate are identical.

the major plot device of Jimmy is him always solving a disaster he created. when we look at God, we find that it is the exact same thing. God creates problems so that he would eventually save the day.
from the story of Pharaoh and the Israelites, to the ultimate salvation plan. all of them are problems both engineered and solved by God.

however, there is a difference between the two as Jimmy usually creates problems by accident, the problems created by God are on purpose. they are all part of his plan. God has it all set since before the creation of the universe. he planned everything. the hardening of pharaoh's heart so he could conquer him, the fall of man so he could save him, all part of his plan.

why create a problem just so you can solve it?
what do you think?

WHO ARE YOU TO QUESTION GOD? GOD'S WAYS ARE NOT OUR WAYS. THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD IS THE WISDOM OF MAN. ALL ATHEISTS ARE EVIL AND WILL BURN IN HELL.

OP... no judgment, but you are reasoning (at the very least), as a human... our understanding of these, and many things, is limited.

If you and your spouse had/have a child, wouldn't you say that you generally know more and can do exponentially more than that infant? How much more so human beings (shadows and dust) in relation to our Maker, the Eternal, Whose understanding and power are infinite?

Speak softly!
===================

“Woe to him who strives with his Maker!
Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth!
Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’? - Isaiah 45:9

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts. - Isaiah 55:8-10
