Let The Maker Make

God knew in advance that Adam would sin,
And He also knew rash Lucifer would;
He created them anyway, so men,
Despite their sins, knew God's free choice still stood!
How great He is, to contrive contrivers,
Knowing even of their vile betrayal;
Let them turn on Hin, as evil strivers,
Try their Maker and Provider derail!
He feared them not His good work to undo;
Why would any poet fear to loose his poem?
Parents still sire, though their child they may rue;
Birds still nest, though winds may destroy the home!
Let the Maker make what's sure or unsure---
Whether for His good or His ill inure!

"Threfore once more I will astonish these people who wonder upon wonder, the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intellectual will vanish; woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the Lord, who do their work in darkness and think, 'Who sees us? Who will know?' You turn things upside down, as if the potter was thought to be the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'He did not make me'? Can the pot say to the potter, 'He knows nothing?'" (Isaiah 29:14-15)

Most of the philosophers of the world through the years have thoroughly given God and the Bible the benefit of their superior intellect and have now decided that God does not exist, and the Bible is not ultimate truth. The largest objection they see, which has been the subject of most of their intellectual discussions, is called the "problem" of evil in the world. They have concluded that since evil exists (in the form of death, predation, grief, and the like; to them, Satan doesn't exist, and there is no sin), God cannot exist, because He would not have created such things and still be a loving God. Their coup de grace is the question, "Why would a loving God create evil?"

Well, la dee dah, intellectuals, don't you realize that you are the pots and God is the potter? You've got the cart in front of the horse. It is not your perogative to pontificate over whether your Maker exists. You would not be here if He hadn't made you, amd you are using His gift to you to deliberate the wrong thing. You wouldn't be wondering whether or not God existed if Adam and Eve hadn't eaten of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Your brain should be used to consider truth revealed by God and only God. As for your shipsinker question, here is the simple answer: How could man have free choice if Satan were not here to put him to the test? God created evil to test you and me. Your grade is F.
