RADIO PROGRAM NO. 213 - Why Blame God?

Questioner: You and I have often heard people declare, "If there is a God and He is good and all-powerful, why is the world in such a mess?" There is often a tendency to blame our own and the world's problems on God. How would you comment on that kind of a question and declaration?

Speaker: Well, I think this indicates that there is something lacking in our world. And I'm convinced that what is lacking is an understanding of God and of man's true relationship to Him.

In the first chapter of Genesis, we're told that God created man in His own image and that he was given dominion over all the earth. Two very important facts are pointed out here.
