Reading the Bible it almost seems like God made everything, the devil messed it up, God spent a long time angry and disappointed, sent son to bridge the gap, and is waiting to send son again to destroy all and make new.
This is considered blasphemy by some. But it tells the macro "storyboard" sequence that I see as I read it over time.
My hard questions about God:
- If God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow why does it seem like he changed?
- When God was disappointed in Israel awful things happened, like the ground opening up and swallowing people, snakes everywhere killing people, a flood, and other stuff. What will happen when he's disappointed in me?
I don't know, I think about this stuff when I slow down and take the time to think. Sometimes I wonder if I should do it more often...
