Is God a good god?

Everyone in the world has had negative things happen to them, even the most respectful and honest people. Just as Delores Russo has. Delores Russo’s son died in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. Not only did Michael Russo die in the Twin Towers, Michael is a fire fighter, and died helping the thousands of people in need of help. Events like this happen every day. People’s friends and family die on a regular basis for “no reason.”

So many bad things happen to good people. When people go through that time when there is a lot of bad things happening in your life, such as divorce, a loved one dying, or even getting a car accident, you might catch yourself asking a very commonly asked question such as, why is that happening to me? Is God a good god? What did I do to deserve this? Many people go through this stage in their lives. Christians believe that God is “good”, but how could a “good” God allow such horrible things to happen in people’s lives?

  1. I love how you are not afraid to ask these very controversial questions. Alot of the time as Christians, people will believe something or think something just because they have been always told that it is true. You have a nice spin on your paper. The beginning looks promising and I feel that you are starting to grasp the idea of what your paper will be about. Great job :)
