Monu... think about this if you can... In the following passages God strikes a man dead... An unbeliever.. God also struck Believers dead who lied in this same book ON THE SPOT ! Acts 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. 24 But the word of God grew and multiplied. NO from these kinds of things Eli's broken neck etc. That God does ... == TAKE DIRECT ACTION against MEN'S LIVES and KILLED THEM == So then nothing nor any respect toward free will stopped God from killing both non-Christians and Christian when He so desired to do ! God then Can KILL So it is not a matter of not being able but when it came to many "monstrous men" God did not strike them dead though many men prayed for Him to do so... How many people prayed for Hitler's death... Why , when God has killed before did God chose not to kill Hitler ? Do you believe that GOD at least could foresee as a very probable possibility that many men would go to hell "IF" He created the world ??? Why would God create a world where most would go to Hell if He suffered so at the very thought of losing even one ? Did God NEED the ones who would be better in their flesh and choose God ? Acts 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; I have heard foolish men say that God needs us to pray before He can do anything .... Poor little god depending on sinful men ! What a sad state for a sad little god ... What Blaspheme... God is the Almighty and need nothing of Man as saith the scriptures: 1 Timothy 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; This is not a God who is crying in heaven at the loss of the goats ... Please ! He is Almighty even to Save whosoever He wills. God did not HANDCUFF HIMSELF that is the most Man glorifying bunch of nonsense I have ever Heard. Over and Over God is said to be the ALMIGHTY ... standing handcuffed to the will of sinful men ????? Where is this Stuff coming from.. READ YOUR BIBLE God is All Powerful... Except in Salvation - NOT ! Even in Salvation INDEED Especially in Salvation ! God brings out of EGYPT ( the World ) Who he wants ( the Jews or the elected ) Deuteronomy 9:29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm. The Jews did not want to leave the world or Egypt.. after they were out they wanted to go back ! THAT IS NOT A WILLING PEOPLE ! - NOR WAS I WILLING ! Yet God MADE ME WILLING ! Psalms 110:3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. Luke 15 4-7 Calls the lost one a SHEEP ! Though it is lost yet it is still HIS ! He seeketh that which was LOST.. Verse 7 is about that sheep /MAN coming to HIMSELF ! What about the PRODICAL SON ... even though HE STRAYED and became lost in the world of sin.. Yet He was ALWAYS a SON even though He said to His own Father that Because of His sin He was unworthy to be CALLED A SON ! He was always a SON His sin could not make him a mere servant ! Indeed the story shows us How God used his sin to bring him to desperation of heart.. He was eating and living with pigs and judged of God for his riotous living. God made him desperate, humble, and willing... God does not do this for the Goats No matter how bad it gets they just get harder ! Do you know why God Sacrificed His SON between two thieves ?? See next Message...

Do you know why God Crucified His SON between TWO Thieves ?? People teach that all men are born Equal.. Where is that ever witnessed ? Poor fathers give birth to poor sons. Rich men have College funds for their Children. Some are born deaf and blind others are born to be giants. What of Salvation are all men born equal ? What of those who are born in a land where the Gospel is not preached ? In the Old Testament what of those who were born outside of Israel in the world without hope as it is written: Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: ( about the gentiles ) What if you were born an Egyptian instead of a Jew in the time of Moses and Pharoah ??? What if you were born into any family other than Noah's in the days of the flood !! ======================================================================== There are two kinds of people born into this world.... The Seed of God and the Seed of the Devil: Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; Again Two kinds of Sons One of God the other the Sons of Disobedience(satan). Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: The Sheep and the Goats: John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. Paul teaches very plainly in Romans 9 that mens are made of the same stuff... They are equal in FLESH ( CLAY ) Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? Made from the same lump BUT Sons of Honor and Sons of Dishonour ! Again Vessels of Mercy and Vessels of Wrath ! Romans 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Romans 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: So then God shows us over and over it is but HIS SOVERIEGN MERCY that He bestows upon whosoever HE CHOSES that make the difference the CLAY or the FLESH are the SAME ! GOD in Glorious Fashion shows us that this is true even at the CROSS ! Jesus is set between two thieves who are sentenced to public humiliation so that men would fear to steal from Roman Citizens ! They are both Jews... chosen according to the Elect Nation. Both very guilty sinners... ONE on the LEFT and ONE on the RIGHT HAND SIDE of GOD in the FLESH ! Matthew 27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. They are identical at the first they both are deeply stewed in their sin and rebellion and are cursing the CURE even Jesus the Redeemer ! Matthew 27:44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. They are both hanging there dying and they are cursing God in hard hearted hatred ! Railing against the MOST HIGH ! But the Holy Spirit of God Blows where it Wills: John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. The yet Hardening Thief continues to Curse the Serpent on a pole - The very Cure ! 39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. Yet God in mercy Grants to one in the midst of his cursing a sweet spirit of repentance and guilt for sin.... 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. He looks to the Innocent expecting nothing but wishing Him well and says... Just think on me when you get there ! 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. The Christ who is not short to save in the midst of agony and pain makes this remorseful sinner a promise that cannot be broken ! 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. ======================================================================= Christ, when he preached,separated the sheep from the goats while He lived ! The sheep softened in heart and the goats hardened ! Christ, when he returns will separate the sheep from the goats ! Christ, even in his final moment of death also separated a sheep from a goat ! We are not in the business of turning goats into sheep... we are in the business of finding those sheep ! If the goats grow hard is that not also of GOD ? *Rail ye Goats Fill up the cup of your WRATH !* Revelation 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: The Holy and Righteous Lamb of GOD who will show them mercy no more !
