If we take into consideration the point that God is omnipotent one more question appears: why He created such issues as evil, pain and suffering if He has no limits? But there is one statement in the Christianity that God has His plan, so according to this we can think that all what was created organizes very good way of development and life.
From Mackie’s point of view such statement is a sin, and the fact that God can not create the world without pain and suffering he can not be only good. Why did not he want to create the world easier for us to live? We should get some experience during our life, we should get more information about the world and if there would be no evil in the world it turns to be very difficult to do, and even impossible.
Such prepositions make our faith shaky. Here is a little example, if you do not know the fact that sugar in the water can dismiss. The scientists say that it is true, but you still do not believe and only after you put it into water you see he result and be satisfied as you examine it through your own practice. After such experiment you can not disagree with it or prove the opposite.
It is in our nature to disagree or to question, or to quarrel. Such ability is most valuable and has no limitation. At the same time such ability makes the person more beautiful and aware.
Can we be so clever and aware if there were no tasks at school or parent’s talks? Would our life better without challenge at all? Without all this we can not feel the joy of success and we would not have anything to reach for. It is true and that is why some limitations are more useful then their absence.

Life’s Great Question – Why?
By: Donald Yates | 16/05/2008 | Motivational
Man struggles along the path of life with a heavy heart and bleeding feet only to find in the end the grave awaits. He harbors resentment, a sense of incompetence which besets his every avenue; and in his blind groping he lifts his hands in speechless anguish, and his weary cries stir the air with supplications to an apparently unheeding God. Where art thou oh Lord?

I Want To Know My Future

She shouted with absolute conviction each word, "I want to know how my life is going to turn out before it happens! Didn't Christ know that He was destined to be crucified on the cross? Didn't He know everything about His life before it happened." I was shocked over her request wondering just how serious she was about knowing the complete picture of her future.
