Why God? This is a question with a multitude of layers. So here is my attempt at one of the layers.

The Bible begin “In the beginning God…” This is a great answer, Why God? because God was at the beginning. This then raises a question I don’t have an answer for, where did God come from? But then again this is a question that needs to be raised regardless of how you believe things came into being. Can something be created from nothing? There has to be a beginning and I trust in what the Bible says, “In the beginning God…” So what did God do in the beginning, He created. I am a product of a God who was from the beginning Creator of all things. We see this unfold thought out the first couple of chapters of Genesis. He created the sky and the earth, plants and animals, sun, moon and stars, and then he created us. Why God? Because he is our creator.

More to come…..

Have you ever had a question that just kind of nags at you? The question that I have is “Why God?” Now I wish I could tell you what exactly this question means, but I haven’t unpacked it enough yet. I began to ruminate on this question a couple of days ago and this morning as I awoke it was the first thing I started to ponder. It is odd to have to unpack the meaning of a question before you can answer it. I would enjoy to hear from other about this question. It could be addressed on a variety of levels. I can see that it will take a bit of pondering, so this is where I will be heading in this blog and my times of pondering for the next little while.

I have been thinking about this for a while, but I don’t think that I want to use the term “Christian” to describe who I am with regards to my religion. The term seems to have so many adjectives that qualify it. There are evangelical Christians, fundamentalist Christians, conservative Christians, liberal Christians …. I don’t know which of these labels if any really fit me. Rather, I want to be know as a follower of Christ. One who not only believe, but does as Jesus did. I think this will be where I begin my discourse on orthodoxy and orthopraxis.
