Question
Respected madam,
            My name is Jeya Sekharan.I have two questions for you.Well,why is there a lot of differences between human beings.One is strong tall and handsome and an another person is weak and handicapped.One person is rich and leading a luxurious life and one is poor and suffering.One has a acute memory power and one has a dim memory.You know god is impartial but why is there is such differences.In animals there is not that much difference,it is only in humans.What do you say about it?What does christianity says about it?

And one more question
They say in gods creations everything is God and everyone is God.What does it mean?Please clarify my doubt.

Answer
Hi Jeya,

THanks for this great question.  There are some things that I cannot explain.  THere are some things that we cannot comprehend.

Isa 55:8  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isa 55:9  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isa 55:10  For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Isa 55:11  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

I do not know why that is, but I know that it is by God's perfect design.


Rom 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

God is not everything, God made everything.

I hope that this helps you.

In Christ
Pastor Don
