Challenge: Why does God have to judge sin. Sin isn\'t such a bad thing. Why can\'t we all just do what we want?

If you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this.

It is the proclamation of the Gospel, not argumentation, that transforms minds. See Give Them the Gospel.

It is best to ask them a few questions first and to listen to their answers

"When I first heard this question, it seemed to challenge what I know to be true.
"I used to feel the same way."
"At first glance, this gives the appearance of being a problem."

"Would you like to hear what God has revealed to me?"
"God is God and we are not. He is the One Who is all knowing. We know almost nothing. Do you think that it might be likely that God would know something that we don't know?
"God knows every hidden thought and every hidden act. He knows about every circumstance, so He alone can judge rightly."
"The things in the Bible must be taken in the context of the entire Bible. You must understand God's purpose. Only by God's power can you receive God's revelation and understand these things."
"God looks at things differently from the way we look at them. Throughout time, people have accused God of not being fair. However, God has authority and the right to do all these things. His judgment is perfect. Our place is to believe and trust Him.
When something goes wrong, it may be something He brings to purify you.
Death is not a great problem to God. Those who die as infants, for instance, are brought into God's presence. When the righteous die young, it is to spare them from seeing all the evil that will be done in the Earth.
God will be fair and just. He is doing something much bigger than we can understand and His plan goes to the eons of the eons."
