Car crashes, earthquakes, heart attacks, travel disasters, war, terrorists, disruption of air travel
and global shifts in temperatures are a few things some Christians experience that can often be
confusing. As a person who deeply believes the love of God seeks to "redeem all that is damned,"
knowing a person can experience these things can be powerful, if the event happened to the person at
the same time as another. That's exactly what B.J. Jordan writes about in a post in his blog's Folio
section. B.J. wrote about what God could experience if he knew all that was going to ever happen. "I
have friends and family members that have experienced travel disaster. I have family members that
have experienced a car accident. I have family members that have experienced a heart attack. Some of
the most tragic events in a person's life can happen while traveling, which means God could
experience all those devastating experiences at the same time, and God knows everything that is
going to happen," writes B.J. B.J. went on to point out the fact that each event in life has a
unique cause for them. "With all the difficulties, pain, threats and tragedies in the world we live
in, there is still joy and goodness to be found even in the worst things in life. Some of the most
true-life Christian stories you'll ever hear are people who have lost everything but are able to
find some good in what is left, while they are suffering. Their stories are a testimony to grace and
God's goodness in their lives. As Christians we are asked to believe and trust God for our life,
health, safety and well-being. How can we turn a blind eye to when so many people around us do not?"
In the post, B.J. tried to take readers through what God could experience if he knew all that would
ever happen. His hypothesis was "if God is our creator and He knows all the things that will ever
happen in the world, God would be just like us and what happens in life would all fit into a well
known pattern we are all experiencing at the same time." It is true that God could experience all
these things, but he would first have to take on the same immense responsibility as other humans and
stay healthy throughout the process. B.J. went on to describe his premise and answer readers
questions, including if God could live in the present moment and if He could keep busy and busy
during the turmoil. "God would not be a worried individual, because He knows everything that is
going to happen. He would be concerned and frustrated if He didn't understand everything, but He
knows everything and he loves his people so much he would not be concerned. God would literally be
overwhelmed with the situations, but He would not be as concerned as everyone else would be. With He
loves us so much he would simply figure out how to be He loved us enough already. Remember He loves
you enough not to be concerned about everything happening in your life. We are not the children of
God because we do not have His eternal life at stake," B.J. writes
