What is an Appendix For?
For all those who think “it is not revealed to us” is a poor answer to some of the mysteries God has presented us with, let me counter with a question:
What is the Vermiform appendix (just to be more specific) for?
No answer right? Only guesses. The almighty wikipedia doesn’t even answer it for sure. Still, although doctors do not know what it does, it doesn’t take away the skill of a doctor to cure your ailment? They don’t know the answer to everything right? even a simple super common thing like the appendix can’t be known in full.
To make the analogy more accurate, we as patients have no idea what doctors do to us in the operating room but we still trust them. In such manner, let us trust the great physician Jesus Christ, Jehova Rapha, to heal our spiritual diseases even though we cannot understand why 9/11, tsunami,*insert disaster which befelled seemingly innocent people* happened, because honestly, just like how unimportant the question of “why we have an appendix” is to a doctor trying to fix your cancer, the question of “why did 9/11, tsunami,*insert disaster which befelled seemingly innocent people* happen” is just as unimportant to your spiritual sickness and condition.
People (like you and me) don’t go to hell because they don’t believe in Jesus Christ. Technically, if they weren’t sinners and they weren’t born of adam, they wouldn’t go to hell if they were perfect. So don’t tell people they will go to hell because they don’t believe in Jesus Christ and acknowledge him as Lord and Saviour. They go to hell because they are sinners and are born in the line of Adam and for no other reason, are headed to hell. God wouldn’t allow us to go to hell if we were perfect and not born in sin.
Hmm.. I think distinguishing the reason for going to hell is quite important because it is not entirely true that we go to hell for not trusting in God to save us.
