God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
To question the goodness of God is, in essence, to imply that man is more concerned about goodness than is God… To suggest that man is kinder than God is to subvert…the very nature of God… It is to deny God; and this is precisely the thrust of the temptation to question the goodness of God.
