"Emile is consumed by hate."
You are absolutely correct, I do hate evil and lies. Hatred is a divine emotion when we direct it against evil. To love and protect evil and lies because of the fear of the "god" of this world is a horrible sin.
Speaking of lies, let us look at one that seems to consume you and darken your understanding of the scriptures.
You said:
"The truth is that Israel is blinded. God blinded them Himself."
Again, you are correct in saying "god blinded them himself" but incorrect in that you failed to identify which "god" you are speaking of.
In IICor. 4:3-4 Paul tells us:
3. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4. In whom the God of this world hath blinded them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Again, your only mistake was a mistake of identity. You identified Satan, the "god of this world", as the Father of Jesus. A serious mistake.
Blinding came when a segment of the faithless Jews accepted the word and spirit of Satan over the word and Spirit of God. In contrast, the elect or Jews of faith accepted the word and testimony of the Holy Spirit and received Jesus as their Messiah. The remnant was, as prophesied by Isaiah, saved and the scriptures fulfilled as the Jewish Church of the first century went out and evangelized the world. Once they had been blinded by accepting the spirit and word of Satan over the word and Spirit of God, God gave them a spirit of slumber and spiritual eyes that could no longer see and ears that could no longer hear. |
