Either way God created the world KNOWING that He would not even offer salvation to MANY for centuries and KNOWING they would go to hell !! But look.. I believe and KNOW that ALL things are working according to the Wise and HOLY council of HIS WILL. God's main purpose is not to serve mankind in Salvation. He need save none of us if He desires. God could let the Whole World go to Hell if He wants who will stop Him. God owes man NOTHING !
Daniel 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
God does not just ordain all the good stuff in your life.. He is in COMPLETE CONTROL of satan and everything that happens in your life that is WHY He can say..
Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
He worketh all things not just the good things... So many people say Oh well if God is really like that I'm not going to serve Him... What they mean is God has to do what I want before I'll pretend I'm serving Him !
===== God is WHO HE says HE IS ! ====
You must BOW THE KNEE and serve as a loving slave !
If your God is out of control of the world.. because He put on handcuffs and gave men this SO-Called Gift of Free Will that is taking most of them to Hell.. Then Your God is an Idiot !
( sorry , pretty harsh I know ) That God is not in the Bible ! If God is not in Absolute Control of everything How then can He say this concerning His Children ?
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Or this:
James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
How can ALL THINGS be working for our good if God is out of control ??
Do you think that that would be a responsible gOd who just created the world and wound it up and just let it go to see where it lands ??? Come on !
The 400 years of slavery of the Jews in Egypt was planned so that the Egyptians could STORE UP WRATH so that God could Justly Destroy them when He brought out Israel by a powerful hand !
What did Moses say to Pharaoh " gOD loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life '" No He took authority in Christ over Him and commanded in the Name of God the deliverer to LET HIS ELECT PEOPLE GO !
As far as God being a murderer He was PLEASED by the death of His son as so says the BIBLE , This is the Father concerning Jesus:
Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
God is the one who put Jesus to death and planned the biggest Crime the world has ever seen... But it is MEN WHO DID IT ! God planned it and also Suffered it But Men did what God Ordained for them to do Look:
Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
God planned it before the world began BUT MEN are the ones who did it with their Wicked and Fallen hands... God is not Guilty... we are. You cannot understand how God can plan it without being guilty.... I don't think any human mind can really figure that one.. but that is what the Bible teaches and we are not called to question the revealed truth and Wisdom of God !
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Men destroy themselves arguing about what God has plainly said ! God has plainly said that He planned the Biggest Crime and also the Greatest Act of LOVE all rolled into one act that the World has ever seen... Could Man have invented something so wonderous and yet so terrible so wicked yet so lovely and so heart breaking all in the same moment at the very center of History ???
Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
God could not foreordain the Death of His Son if Adam may or may not have fallen ! The death of Jesus was FIXED and CERTAIN... Adam freely sin and did what God had made FIXED and CERTAIN . Man became guilty ( wicked hands ) This is too wonderous for our minds to conceive but it is true !
God created a world with two kinds of Sons... Son's of sATAN and Son's of GOD For His own Glory ! Nothing happens by accident God is not clumsy or slow. He who gave us Logic and Intellect is He not smarter than WE ?
Monu.
Idolatry is Creating God in our own image according to our own imaginations and the suggestions of the evil one. sAtan has been here trying to downplay what I am saying.. trying to convince people I am mad or possessed or angry or hateful. He will lie until he is sent to the pit with his Sons . That is what he and his did when Jesus was here... He got the people rallied to say " Just who does this Jesus fellow think He is ?" Also :
John 10:20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
Your still listening... I think you might make it :-}
I'll pray for you.
Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Jesus said:
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. |
