The Teacher and the Rebellious Student - A Question Raised

A teacher is telling his Students how to solve a

difficult problem with a proven formula.

A clever yet rebellious student claims that what

the teacher is teaching, and that his way of

solving the problem is wrong. and will not work.

There for the student is implying that the

teacher is incapable of solving the problem, the

student insists that he knows a better way, an

easier way.

There are some students in the class that witness

his claims and believe the rebel student may be

right, and so side with the student also

becoming rebellious.

Do you see the situation at hand?

What should the teacher do?

Should he solve the problem right there and then

and throw the rebels out, is that wise you think?

If the teacher was to throw the rebels out, what

would be the effect? What would the other

students, the other onlookers Think?

Do you not think that it would breed doubt in the

minds of the other students, that the rebel

student maybe right, and the teacher just does

not want to be proven wrong. Ultimately the

teacher would lose the respect of his

students.

I do not know about anyone else, but it

seems to me that common sense as the

teacher would be to accept the challenge there by

, keeping all those concerned happy, you

would only have one diplomatic way to go,

and that is to let the student talk, to

see what he has to say has any relevants, to

allow the rebel to show the class how he would

solve the problem.

If you can imagine the teacher as God and the

rebel student as Satan. God has only done what

the teacher does. Adam and Eve are not the only

ones involved; Angels, millions of angels made up

the rest of the class(Job 38:7;Daniel 7:10)

How God handled the handled the rebellious

situatiuon greatly affects the angels and

eventually all the intelligent life. God has

allowed satan to show how he would rule mankind,

along with allowing humans to govern themselves

under satans guidance.

The teacher knows that the rebel and the students

on his side are wrong. He knows that for the

benefit of the class, he must allow the student

to have the opportunity to try to prove their

point. When the rebels fail. Those concerned will

see that the teacher is the only one qualified to

lead the class. So when the teacher removes the

rebel and his followers, the class will fully

understand.

Honesthearted humans and angels will benefit from

seeing satans failures, and that "we as earthling

man his way does not belong. It does not belong

to man who is walking even to direct his step".

(Jeremiah 10:23).

But why so long?

Why has God not prevented these bad things from

happening. The teacher had to consider two things

,first he would not stop the student from

presenting his theory, second not to help the

student make his case. God has to allow time to

prove his case, and in the thousands of years of

history, mankind has tried every form of self

rule, or human government, to our own ditriment.

Agreed there has been some advancement in science

and other fields. But Poverty, crime, and war are

ever prevailent, in fact its forever increasing.

If God was to prevent these crimes, and injustices

, would he not, in affect be supporting the rebels

cause. Would God in actual fact be making people

think that perhaps humans can govern themselves

without disastrous results?

If God was to act in that way, he would become a

part of a lie. However its "impossible for God to

lie"(Hebrews 6:18). Imagine the teacher gives the

student a week to show his theory,is that fair?

Now know that one day to God is a thousand years

to us.Seven Thousand years and the end will come.

When the week ends, God will finish that which he

started, the very thing that he purposed for all

mankind will come to pass.
