happen on this planet such as sufferings, natural catastrophies etc.
On the other hand the natural man hates being influenced or determined
by God as this would certainly violate his free will. And of course,
free will has become sort of the summon bonum of human society
which no the sinner would ever want to sacrifice even for the eternal
and almighty God.
Today, while driving to work i heard an interesting podcast by Greg
Bahnsen. Dr. Bahnsen was discussing the matter of the sinner criticizing
and judging God, not understanding and accepting that it is man who
sits on the bench and God who is the ultimate judge.
By blaming God, the natural man puts himself in a position the other
way around. Bahnsen quotes the reason why he does that. The answer
can be found in the Bible of course. Job 40:8
"Wilt thou even annul my judgment? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou
mayest be justified?"
The natural wants to be justified. And in judging God, he justifies
himself !
