Justice

April is “Child Abuse Awareness Month”. An estimated 39 million survivors of Child Abuse in America today. One in four girls is sexually abused before the age of 18. One in six boys is sexually abused before the age of 18. Nearly 70% of all reported sexual assaults (including assaults on adults) occur to children ages 17 and under. Where is the justice?

Lately I have been having some very good conversations that I am very grateful for. Some believe that the world is an illusion. And we are all interconnected as one. But the problem with the claim of the world being an illusion, if it's true, is that our environment is an illusion. It's Maya. It's not really there. So how can we get true information from something that doesn't really exist?
If this is true, how can we know anything at all?

Something else that comes up if you can't know anything at all then you can't know anything moral. Consequently, if you can't know a moral truth then there is ultimately no distinction between good and evil. But what of these crimes against our youth? Is that not because of evil?

The bible tells us that God is good by nature, and because of His goodness He will make sure that justice is eventually done. For example, there were more than 150,000 unsolved murders in the U.S. during the last 20 years — however, those unpunished murderers will receive justice by being sent to God's "prison" — a place called "Hell." But God is so good He will also punish rapists, thieves, liars, adulterers, blasphemers, and fornicators (those who have had sex before marriage).

Another question. Does this belief in Maya offer forgiveness? You might say “yes”. Well as you know this type of thinking also includes the belief in “karma”. If this belief provides forgiveness than why is there karma? Because it does not provide for true forgiveness. And if the world is an illusion why should anyone care?
I can tell you that there are people who do care.

Is it possible that what the Bible says about God and Heaven and Hell is true? The Bible says that God wants to have a personal relationship with you. Jesus said “I am the way the Truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me” That is a strong claim. It’s either true or it’s false, but you need to find out for yourself. Trust, in relationships is developed with time. While you think about this you might want to pick up a bible and read the Gospel of John. Look at the character of Jesus. Ask yourself, “Can I trust Jesus?” Think about if Jesus is the Unique Savior he claims to be. Think about what this might mean to you. Please consider why I’m writing about this. What can be more important than your eternal salvation. Thanks for your time.
