When it comes to God's Word and how God deals with us, we shouldn't worry whether or not it makes sense.  If you want to be a Christian and understand the teachings of the Christian faith, you shouldn't judge the Christian doctrines with your mind to find out whether or not they sound correct.  In stead, you should immediately say, "I'm not asking how it all makes sense.  All I need to know is whether it is God's Word or not.  If God said it, then that decides it."  Often I have warned you not to argue about lofty, spiritual matters or try to figure them out.  For as soon as you try to make sense of them and put them in terms you can understand, you slip and fall...These teachings transcend our reason.
