What a most wonderful place to be in—
God’s “butterfl y garden”!!
I notice as I glance about most quickly the wonderful variety of plants He has planted
Which are essential for the butterfl ies’ tender care.
God has provided the necessary plants that shall give them an opportunity to place their eggs which shall hatch and become yet a caterpillar.
Th e caterpillar shall spin a cocoon and once again there shall become yet another fl ying fl ower.
Is this not God’s power?
I notice a variety of fl owers.
Bright colors and fragrances.
Many are pleasant and additionally others have a not-so-favorable one.
I do believe you may say they have a foul odor.
Yet many of the most beautiful butterfl ies do prefer them.
I notice a small birdbath around which

Th e words had been spoken thousand of years before by God.
“Stop in the name of love before you break My heart.”
God had a broken heart.
Did you know this?
God’s heart was broken when he lost His man.
God determined to regain His man.
Before God recreated this world there was told to us in the Scriptures that a Lamb was slain.
Did God know there would be a problem when man was created?
God had made prearrangements for us before His creation.
God was prepared to do all and give all that He had to ransom us from the d/evil one who was created before us.
Th e d/evil one did not will to stay with God in heaven.
He decided to leave and establish his own kingdom and throne.
Th at was impossible.
He was a created being and God is the Creator of all things.
God has created all things in this earth, in heaven, and under this earth.
God is God and there is no other God but He.
Th e d/evil one left heaven and his appointed place.
One third of all the angels in heaven accompanied him.

Th ere was no place for this created being to dwell.
God sent them to hell.
Th e place reserved for the rebellious and the dead.
God had a plan for His created man.
He did not want man to go to the place of the

He explained how no one was going to be safe from God’s wrath, and everyone was doomed from the beginning. However, they are not sent down to hell because God felt like. “They deserve to be cast into Hell; so that divine Justice never stands in the Way...”(SHAG 35). They were cast into hell because

So he stopped them and sent them back to their homeland. Later he had become
He had called out to me and I had not answered. I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep. But I was out of tears. And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!...” (pg 112).
However, God encouraged him to care and love for them. This is present in our society today. When someone hurts another, we care for the one who got hurt and show no compassion for the one whose fault it was. It is hard for us to show empathy toward the “bad”guy. It really does take God to help us.
Jesus was also God. Matthew 1:21 states that Mary would have a child she was to call Jesus “because he will save his people from their sins.” He was a prophet and a teacher and he performed miracles. These miracles consisted of raising the dead. This fact shows he was also God since only God can raise the dead.
Why the Problem of Evil Suggests There is No God The typical definition of God is an omniscient, omnipotent, perfectly good being. A perfectly good God is expected to protect His creations from evil and/or stop any form of it from happening, but that is not the case in our world. People are responsible for so much pain and suffering today that the problem of evil as John Hick explained is the most believable explanation as to why I do not think there is a God.
This all sums to the conclusion that God is neither a fabricated idea either. Therefore, as a result, God must be an innate idea. The idea of God is one idea, not a compilation of multiple, of a unity of omniscience, perfection, and infiniteness that is encompassed in one being. We are all born with the idea of a perfect, all-powerful God because God has placed it in our
• The text and illustrations would encourage children to respond in a variety of ways. Children can figure out why the caterpillar changed into a butterfly. They can also explore what material or substance allowed the caterpillar to create the cocoon. Some children might want to know why the caterpillar only eats a hole through the food and not the whole

God God is a higher power; he offers us guidance on the universe that we live on. God is a spirit, and he forgives us for all of our sins. God is everything, and he is the beginning and the end. In the book of Genesis, John asked God, “Who are you?”
God does not create everything to be perfect. If we would be perfect without sins, flaws, and problems then there would be no God, then we would be totally equal as God, and there would be no one higher and lower than us. There would be sinners, atheist, offenders in His own creation because simply He gave us free will. God allows evil to exist because of the free will. Humans is given their God-given freedom which is the free will, it is the power to make a decision of one individual instead of taking or having God to decide what to do.
Lear once again summons nature when he banishes Cordelia from the kingdom, “For, by the sacred radiance of the sun,/ The mysteries of Hecate and the night,/ By all the operations of the orbs/From whom we do exist and cease to be,/ Here I disclaim all my paternal care,/Propinquity, and property of blood”(1.1.110-115). Lear calls upon nature to reject it at the same time, cutting ties with his own daughter. He once again calls out to nature when he curses Gorenil that she remains childless.
The scripture tells us that God is God from all eternity. Before anything, He was there Richard of Saint Victor reminds us, “Everything which is or can be either has being from eternity or begins to be in time, and again, everything which is or can be either has being from itself or it has being from something other than itself... it has been established that what holds the highest place in this universe of things cannot receive what it itself is from its inferior. Therefore some substance must exist which both holds the highest place and is from
