Question 1:  “Why did God make The Universe so Big and Old that we cannot see its beginning?”

Answer:  “God gave us Free Will.  To have Free Will, His ‘human programs’ must not be forced to believe in God by seeing a beginning or an end to His Power.   So, His Creation stretches for 10-15 trillion light years in time and space.”

Question 2:  “How are we to use our Free Will?”

Answer:  “In every Age, God gives everyone a choice:  We may choose to love and obey Him.  Or, we may not.”

Question 3:  “Did people listen to God in ancient times?”

Answer:  “Adam and Eve listened, but did not obey.  Abel and Abraham listened and obeyed.”

~
