you don't think that would offend God, Who gave such a great Sacrifice, as if His Sacrifice was of no account, something He took lightly, like it's no big deal?
My question to you, my brother in Christ, and son of the Most High, the living God, is this:
How enormous WAS the cost that was paid for your sins and mine?![]()
God made the universe from nothing by just saying it would be
the 'interface' to man, Logos, was there to do the bidding of God
Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
that includes all things we see as evil [destructive]
Lamentations 3:38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
God has little regard for those who sit on the fence being good sometimes and evil at others :-
Rev 3:14 These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
God has then a USE for evil in bringing rebellious mankind to see that He is right, that evil is BAD FOR US, love is awesomely good for us...
I know, it's VERY COMPLICATED for men to understand, but to God it's simple , if we do what He says and love one another then it pleases Him because that is the beginning of us all being happy and praising Him for His GREAT WISDOM that love is good for us ...
if we sin against one another in unloving manner then we get so sad, empty, vain, unsatisfied with life ever wanting more and never finding what makes us lastingly happy UNTIL we change and stop sinning against fellow man...
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
SO VERY HARD for man to accept that we must stop sinning to be loving in obedience to God taht no matter what He says, no matter that He sent Jesus to tell us personally, men still sin and make one another unhappy...
so God MUST let us destroy one another with sin, even kill Jesus and most of His saints and prophets because we love to sin and make one another as unhappy as we are...
it is just TOO MUCH to ACCEPT God's commandment taht we love one another, not sin... that is TOO EASY a way out for clever mankind...
so we destroy our earth for nothing but misery, grey lives, transient pleasures and conflict within in place of lasting bliss from inside , at peace with ourselves ...
but the creator is no QUITTER , He knew the kids would wreck the joint before they grew up to look at what they did and see it wasn't good for anyone... God can forget all that, after all creating new worlds is what He does ... getting us all there, no problem...
Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Jesus' suffering showed us the way we bought for ourselves because we messed ourselves up , the way back is only hard because we made it so by not listening in this earth [but for a few -Matt 7:14, Jude 1:14, Rev 7:3-8]
sooner or later we all see the sense in what God said all along and accept the way of Christ, just three baptisms back to being wholly loving again, only necessary because of the way we are, we could in principle have all listened to God in the first place, but chose to try another way... that doesn't work...
SUPRPRISE! - God was right after all, and the ONLY way back is the way He said too :-
Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
Folks though don't like that 'and with fire' bit , so lets pretend God is wrong again ... Oh dear ! ... here we go again...
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
NAH! ... its easier to SAY we have faith in Jesus than to perfect our love in trial of our faith in it... maybe God won't notice our continued sin and our condemnation of other sinners for what we still do ourselves ?
Whoopsie... men just don;t learn about God , even with all the suffering they bring on us all by ignoring His wisdom... ouch ... what can one say, men are blind? ...stupid? ... arrogant? ... rebellious? ... or just children who refuse to be told what is good for them and so get into all sorts of things they cannot handle, even kill themselves just to spurn wisdom of loving one another ?
