Understanding Reality Religion

You know the Big questions. When did it all begin? Before creation what?Before that? Where was I 10000 years ago? When will it all end? But I suppose that the question that bothers people most is: How can God the omnipotent the Creator be good when there is so much evil in the world? </P><P>Here is an attempt to face up to the eternal unsolvable contradictory questions about God Jesus the church and the practice of faith in the Christian life.Without negating traditional religion concepts God is embraced in all of hisattributes. He has a dark side. He is jealous egotistical cruel tyrannical killer of innocent hordes. </P><P>He is also recognized as a great deliverer lover of good supporter of mankind and a generally good companion. The Christian opts to address this second image of Godthe beneficent. </P><P>The author has struggled with the definition and nature of God all his life. He has found that he can question God and acknowledge his/her dark side while at the same time love God and bask in his presence and love. </P><P>Here is a new kind of spiritual journey -- intellectually honest and committed in faith. </P>
