WHY DOES GOD LEAVE US IN THE DARK?
For the sake of the less
mature, let me first explain that we are talking about why God does not give us
knowledge that we need. This is a question that has puzzled and troubled
multitudes through the centuries. God
leaves us in the dark for one or more of the following reasons:
·
There is some knowledge
that God freely gives to all but there is other knowledge that you have to seek
out. God leaves some people in the dark
because they haven’t searched for the knowledge that they need.
·
God leaves some people in
the dark because it is best that some knowledge be provided at a certain time
and that time has not come.
·
God leaves some people in
the dark because they are living sinful lives.
·
God leaves some people in
the dark because they haven’t learned the difference between “being in the
dark” and “the experience of being in the dark.” What they think they are in the dark about they
are not in the dark about.
What they are in the dark about is that a person can have a sort of
feeling of being in the dark WHEN THEY ACTUALLY ARE NOT IN THE DARK AT ALL.

Some people who ask this
question really want the answer to the question “why does God send
suffering?” You will find the answer to
this question at WhyDoesGodSendSuffering.htm.
