“There are many mysteries that trouble the faithful: “Why doesn’t God just kill the devil?” “Where did Cain get his wife?” “Why does God, who is all-loving and all-powerful, allow suffering and tragedy in the world?” Paul says, “If I could explain all the mysteries of God and the Scriptures, yet I did not demonstrate love, I would be nothing. Knowledge without love has no value.” Ray Stedman, Letters to a Troubled Church: First and Second Corinthians, commenting on 1 Corinthians 13
