Isaiah 45:7, 19-22, 24-25 (KJV) I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory. James 1:13-16 (KJV) Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Hebrews 8:10-13 (KJV) For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 (KJV) Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. Psalms 107:42-43 (KJV) The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. Philemon 1:25 (KJV) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
I don’t often share this with people because whenever I have they wanna make it a religious discussion and I don’t feel comfortable discussing religion, but I’ve been clinically dead twice and resuscitated because I have congestive heart failure and when I can tell you is the God of Abraham exists there is life after death and you are judged for everything you’ve done, I know people fear the devil, but I assure you should be more in fear of God because judgment is in pleasant. Never get down on your knees and worship me come sit on my lap. Let’s discuss what you did. I don’t believe in God and I fear that God will say go for me , but rest short the guy of Abraham exists
God knows your heart. When you accept Him, that fear goes away. You actually end up fearing more for the people that you care about here because now you know what the end result will be
At 67, Im so glad through daily prayer I WOKE up to Gods JUSTICE and discernment. Yes God is merciful and loving but this Modernistic teaching has destroyed far too many lives and led many to live in SIN. Work out your SALVATION in FEAR and trembling. Church fathers out of 100,000 people that died only 3 were saved. He who spares the rod does not love his child. Teach the TRUTH, you will be held accountable for all those you mislead.
But does any good parent kill or put their child in chains for their wrongdoings? No, instead they punish them in a way that teaches that kid a lesson. Sometimes serious talk is enough.
Would you tell a loved one that if they didn’t believe in you, you’d put them in place where they would experience suffering forever? No, because people that do that are not acting out of love. And mostly they’d go to prison if they were caught acting like that.
You fundamentally misunderstand Who God is if you believe this. God is the very source and fullness of all goodness. By rejecting Him, you reject all goodness. By rejecting Him, it is only natural that you, being separated from Him, would experience eternal suffering. Only God can fill the true desires of the human heart. God is good and loving so He gives us free will to be able to freely choose Him or to freely reject Him. Someone sends themself to Hell. God is The Judge Who justly gives us our sentence but a judge doesn’t make us commit a crime; we choose to commit it. To suggest otherwise is just untrue. Rejecting God and experiencing eternal suffering is just a natural consequence. It is also a spit in the face to God Who gave His only Son to die for our sake so that we could be reunited with Him.
@@doritomaster7112 But we only sin because we have sinful bodies that have these weird cravings and limitations. And we live in a world that constantly lies to people so they are misled. I agree sin is bad and we should live in a world free from it because it makes world worse place to live everyday. But how are you gonna do that? Too many scumbags profit from making others unhealthy and i don't know if they're gonna stop anytime soon.
The cross shows us that suffering is redemptive and sanctifying. Properly understood, we are able to actually delight in our sufferings, just as an athlete delights after a productive workout although there is suffering in that as well. Happiness does not mean freedom from suffering, it found in the pursuit of goodness, truth, and beauty who is God. By uniting our sufferings to the cross of Christ we are truly participating in his redemptive work of the world and there is nothing that brings a deeper or more lasting joy than that.
It's not that we "must" or "should" suffer to be close to God. It's that when we suffer we are more likely to realize that we need to come closer to love - which is God's essence . Christ's sufferings remind us that God is already close , that he bothered to suffer like us and knows what's like, that we share not only the cross (which was conceived by men for fellow men, not by God) but also the resurrection (which is God's response unwilling to let the last word to death and evil)
@Joseph-Haddad I heard you correctly and yes, that is also heretical, Jesus did not “correct” the Old Testament as if there was something false about it. He fulfilled it. Again, this falls under the Marcionist heresy and it’s something that ought to be repented of.
Is god some kind of spiteful vengeful being, who just likes to establish rules that no one can follow, then punishes us for not following them? *YES!!!! That's EXACTLY what the Bible TELLS US!!*
You blame your parents when you break the rules that they established? I'm sure you do. Feel free to live as you want, but it comes with consequences just as if you were living in your parents' house. You just so happen to be living in God's world. Good luck
@@otgenesis5046 Curious, why do you seem defensive? I simply extrapolated from the obvious naked truth regarding the Bible's messaging. Everything stated was HIGHLY accurate. The Bible provides it's own 'receipts' to verify these facts.
@bigair785 I'm just stating simple facts. People like yourself take a line from the bible and think that you know it all without proper exegesis. you don't know the bible. You want the bible to fit your thinking and conclusions. God saying that he is a jealous God is for your benefit for you not to put your heart and trust into false gods like many before you have done. It will not end well for you. It didn't end well for them either. Try getting to know the true God before you make a decision on which way you want to live your life
@@otgenesis5046 Wow! you seem educated but act as a mere freshman in intellectual debate. You've made a litany of wild assumptions about me? How old am I? College educated? Ever Baptised? Demonination? Hours of biblical study or research? Query: "God saying that he is a jealous God is for your benefit for you not to put your heart and trust into false gods" What god would be jealous of a false god that doesn't exist? A man-made god in quest for control and power certainly would.
“Here’s the reality…” proceeds to make a list of things that start from the point of assumption that your god exists. Prove it exists first, then we’ll worry about all the wonderful things (like advocation of slavery, r@pe and genocide) that it does.
The fact that those things exist does not disprove the existence of God or a higher power, It means that humans have free will to do evil or good. You can’t prove that God doesn’t exist by saying there is evil in the world, in fact you can’t prove God doesn’t exist at all, it is just your opinion. In my opinion God or a higher power does exist, it is a choice we all make.
