Hi, I haven't had a lot to say or share lately, but this was so good, I had to pass it along. Alan >Subject: [Promise-Keeping_Men] Does God Exist? > >Does God Exist - Author Unknown > >The Bible says to have an answer for why you believe to those who ask you. >This is a good example of an answer to one of the most common reasons >sinners give for ignoring God and His goodness. > >A man went to a barber shop to have his hair and his beard cut as always. >He started to have a good conversation with the barber who attended him. >They talked about so many things and various subjects. Suddenly, they >touched the subject of God. The barber said: "Look man, I don't believe >that God exists as you say." > >"Why do you say that?" asked the client. > >"Well, it's so easy, you just have to go out in the street to realize that >God does not exist. Oh, tell me, if God existed, would there be so many >sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there >would be no suffering nor pain. I can't think of loving a God who permits >all of these things." > >The client stopped for a moment thinking, but he didn't want to respond so >as to cause an argument. The barber finished his job and the client went >out of the shop. Just after he left the barber shop he saw a man in the >street with a long hair and beard (it seems that it had been a long time >since he had his cut and he looked so untidy). > >Then the client again entered the barber shop and he said to the barber: >"You know what? Barbers do not exist." > >"How can you say they don't exist?" asked the barber. "Well, I am here and >I am a barber." > >"No!" the client exclaimed. "They don't exist because if they did there >would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who walks in the >street." > >"Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to me." > >"Exactly!"- affirmed the client. "That's the point. God does exist. What >happens is people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why >there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
