The Conjunction of Opposites

[BelieveItOarKnot]

Then good and evil are just arbitrary constructs. Both equally of God and of his will.

Everything that is serves Him

 

[BelieveItOarKnot]

Do you believe there was no reason for God to sacrifice his only son?

Did I ever say that?

We know His death put the proverbial nail in the judgement coffin for the devil and his messengers.

Everything that is serves Him

Arbitrary in the sense there is no qualitative difference. Both would be equally obedient to his command and in this sense things like morality and justice operate as superficial illusions.

 

[Jipsah]

Should be?

Of course not.

But in fact there is.

Rubbish.

 

[Jipsah]

Serious question:

Have you ever joined forces with others across the country and mentally concentrated on approaching tornadoes to dissipate them?

I'll bet sometimes it works.

 

[Jipsah]

Are you into Kundalini?

Does that involve Primal Screeching and/or Transcontinental Meditation?

IF you think about it there is God, beyond capture by any definitions creation can manage to muster up,
and then
there is creation, in part or in sum, vastly less than The Creator

Everything breaks down from there, but the essential lesson is that everything in creation serves the Perfect Purposes of The CREATOR

And therein is a good anchor for our soul, in simple trust. Difficult as it is from time to time

It was a logical question sourced out of what you said, not an accusation ...

If you knew how many people resort to the "why did Jesus die then" if everyone is saved retort

There's a mistaken notion that Jesus was the human equivalent of a sacrificed animal.

The reality is, devils in mankind killed him. No ritual priests, that's for sure

The same devils who occupied those people who reviled and killed Him will still be here when He's revealed, Rev. 1:7

The people "knew not" what they did. Devils on the other hand knew exactly what they were doing

But even in all that, it remained a precise Act of God, regardless. Acts 4:25-29

God called all the shots from the beginning, Gen. 3:15, the goal always being to extract One Nation from the midst of another (unseen) nation (Matt. 23:33), shadowed here: Deut. 4:34, and replayed by Paul in the spiritual, ongoing and future tense application in 1 Cor. 15:42-46

We are essentially being "grown" in the dirt, with fertilizer, like crops. Guess who the fertilizer is? Devils. 2 Kings 19:30, Isa. 37:31, Luke 13:7-9

Luke 11:20
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

Devils whisper from the dust...oh crap

How do you characterize hearing an accusation in my question? Would this be to you a listening to devils?
