In Reference to: 1 July 1990 - OUR WRESTLINGS WITH GOD
Dear Susan:
We struggle the same way you do.
The bigger question is, "How could You allow Jesus to suffer and die the way He did?" The answer to this question will also answer why God allows all the evil in the world to continue as it is. Paul also seems to have struggled with this same question in Romans 8, and he concluded that the whole of creation is suffering and groaning to this day awaiting the revealing of the children of God to set creation free.
Just because someone claims to be Christian, it doesn't make them a child of God, whom Jesus tell us are the peacemakers (Matthew 5:9).
If it wasn't for the relatively few children of God in the world, things would be a lot worse. We really are stemming the tide of evil in this world, and the very fact that the atrocity committed upon Tiger Lily came to light, and that there are laws to prosecute such cases, is proof that we are making a difference.
Like you, we don't hold much faith in humanity, nor in most of Christianity. This is why we are making our stand against their collective hardness of heart.
We hope this helps.
In the Love of the Lord,
Frank and Mary
