If we are truly created in God’s image, it makes you wonder why an all-knowing God would create a bunch of humans in his own image.
We are also all a part of God’s body. So, we are all made in God’s image, and all of us are a piece of his body.
This makes me come to this conclusion of these two statements: God can do anything but come to earth and personally live the life of Liberty. Or live the life of your son. Or live the life of me.
Which is why you, your son, and I are created. To live a life God cannot. While there are many grains of sand on the beach, every single one of them have a different view of the ocean.
So maybe that’s the answer to your spirit question. God now knows what it feels like to shoot that poor man from the point of view from your son, and God now knows what it’s like to be shot by your son from the point of view of that man.
We are put on this earth to experience life from our unique points of view. Damaged people are necessary. Bad people are necessary. Evil is necessary. But so is love, peace, and wonder. As is growth and healing.
I wish peace on you and your son.
