Truth and Error:
There’s a lot of misconceptions that get people to the point of blaming God for all the evil that happens in the world. First of all, I John 1:5 says that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. When God’s Word says” no darkness” that should be enough but to emphasis the point “at all” is added. People getting killed is darkness; murder is darkness. Hebrews 2:14 says the devil has the power of death. So, why does God always get the blame.
Well, people say, “If God is all powerful and all knowing how can He allow this to happen.” True, God is all powerful and all knowing. But, when God gave other beings freedom of will He limited His interaction with man. When he gave free will, the potential to make wrong decisions and do the wrong thing becomes available. Why freewill? Because, God wanted fellowship. God is love. His desire is not only to love but to have that love to experience and share with others. You can’t program someone to love. Love can only be had when an individual by his freedom of will decides to love. So, in order for Him to have fellowship with others, who could love Him in return, He had to give us freedom of will. Consequently, God has no hands with which to show His love but our hands.
Also, people don’t realize that the devil is the god of this world. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says that the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ should shine unto them. Adam originally had God-given dominion of the world. But, in Luke 4:5 & 6 it says the devil showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and said, “All this power will I give you, and the glory of them; for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.” Well, who delivered it to him It wasn’t God. God gave it to Adam. Adam delivered it to him. That’s how cataclysmic Adam’s sin was. Now, the devil has control of the powers that be in this world. Except for those who are saved - because it says we were bought back with a price. Bought back from who? The power of Satan and all his devil spirits. Jesus Christ paid the price and the devil has no more dominion over us.
Another point, because of freedom of will God can do nothing unless His Word is believed. When an individual sees a promise in God’s Word and believes, God has to bring it to pass. He has to keep His Word. God will never deny His Word. But, without believing His hands are tied because of freedom of will. He can’t control you or possess you. You have to believe. Isaiah 55:17 says, “No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper.” Believe that and God will bring it to pass. Romans 8:31 says, “If God be for us who can be against us.” That’s where our believing has to be.
God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. God wants the very best for us. The devil has the power of death and has dominion of the world. So, let’s take that dominion away by believing God’s Word and enabling God’s power to be evident in our lives.
Never blame God! God is light and in Him is NO darkness AT ALL. None. Job lost all his children and his business in one day. After that, he had boils from head to toe for approximately 6 months. Yet, he never charged God foolishly. God is all good and the devil is all bad.
God gets the blame when people die. They say God took them. Hebrews 2:14 says the devil has the power of death.
When bad happens to a person. They say God is testing them. James 1:13 says God cannot be tempted neither does He tempt any man. To test someone is to tempt them to do evil. If He were testing people that would be darkness.
People get sick and they say it's God's will. III John 2 says God wishes above all things that we be in health and prosper. Why did Jesus go around healing every one. I haven't seen one record where he made someone sick. If it was God's will to get sick then we ought to do God's will and do our best to get sick. Get's silly when you think about it logically.
When people start thinking God is doing these things many times they turn away from God. Romans 2:4 says the goodness of God leads men to repentance. It's the devil that does these things and he's tricked people into blaming God for it. Stop letting the devil win and start seeing how good, loving and merciful our God really is. When you do this you will be like Job and never charge God foolishly. Your love for God will flourish!!!
The decisions we make determine our successes and our failures. If we fail, it is our fault, not Gods.
If the god of this world can get us to just accept defeat because we think it was meant to be, then he wins and we lose.
Here is the Word of God! Take it or leave it, yet please choose wisely:
Believing UNTO salvation!
Romans 10:9,10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved [sōzō].
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Confessing with our mouths and believing in our hearts are decisions we make.
Without believing and confessing as stipulated in Romans 10:9, we would
not receive the gift of holy spirit, we would not be clothed with power
from on high.
The receiving of the gift of holy spirit is entirely
conditional on us carrying out the instruction given in Romans 10:9.
When we confess with our mouths Jesus as Lord and believe in our hearts
that God raised him from the dead, we are saved (Greek sōzō), made
whole, referring to once again being complete, being whole, with body,
soul and spirit.
Does God force us to believe? No. God never forces anyone to do anything.
He gave us freedom of will and it is up to us whether we choose to believe God and his word or not.
There are a number of important keys to the word's interpretation, and one of
them is that a scripture must be in harmony with all the other
scriptures relating to the same subject. If we have many clear verses on
a subject and one apparently contradictory verse, do we ignore the many
clear verses and focus solely on the unclear verse? Not if we are
interested in an honest handling of the word of God, we don't. Here are a
few scriptures that clearly teach that God is no respecter of persons.
Romans 2:11
For there is no respect of persons with God.
Ephesians 6:9
...neither is there respect of persons with him.
1 Timothy 2:3,4
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will
have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Titus 2:11
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Without labouring the point, God isn't fussy about whom he chooses.
In short, predestination as it is understood today destroys people. It
gives people excuses for their failures. Instead of taking
responsibility for their failed marriages, businesses, families, health,
and everything else in their lives, they come up with all sorts of
excuses and blame it all on God. It was predestined and they had nothing
to do with it. Folks are taught they have no control, that everything
is meant to be. So they blame their failed marriages on God, they blame
their failed businesses on God, they blame their failed health on God,
because it was all meant to be. Put your noses into this dogshit of
predestination and take a good sniff. It is a stinking lie.
Sure, God
will light our path so we can see where we are going, but we have
control of our own lives and over which paths we walk. The decisions we
make determine our successes and our failures. If we fail, it is our
fault, not Gods. God never made a failure. When the devil attacks, he
likes nothing more than to watch people lie down and die. That is why he
weakens us with such lies. He doesn't like it when people stand up and
fight back, it defeats his purposes. If he can get us to just accept
defeat because we think it was meant to be, then he wins and we lose.
This lie has the power to destroy entire races and civilisations. Your
life is yours to live so be careful with what you think was meant to be.
We all grow up in the devil's world and grow up exposed to his filthy
language, but that's no excuse for your thoughts to be contrary to God's
word. Put your televisions and newspapers and religious mythology
aside, open your bibles again and put your hearts into the word.
Romans 10:17
So then faith [believing] cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Be watchful, because predestination is the language of extinction.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance.
Aside from the new birth; freewill is the greatest thing that God has ever given!
The adversary's ministry is to blind, first and foremost; then it is all downhill from there.
That opens one up to many lies; the counterfeit, unto many sorrows and regrets.
This is how the adversary cleverly tricked Adam and Eve. It all started with
doubt after they ignorantly engage with the damned bird!
By the way folk; spiritually dead, yet NOT brain dead, hopefully now!!
Take it or leave it, yet please choose wisely:
Ephesians 1:13
in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel
of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed
with that holy Spirit of promise,
Predestination:
God knows ahead of time who is going to believe His Word. Therefore, God calls
them according to His eternal purpose (to have a family). God knew ahead
of time (foreknowledge) that you and I would believe. Consequently, God
predestinated us to be conformed to the image of his Son.
Predestination is a very misunderstood concept. God does not pre-arrange
what you and I are going to do!!! God pre-arranged or predestinated
that which HE was going to do as a result of our believing. God decided
(according to HIS purpose) that HE WOULD GIVE US holy spirit making us
His children. Predestination in the Word of God is God deciding ahead of
time what He is going to do - not what we are going to do.
Again, God does not pre-arrange what you and I are going to do!!!
In the beginning, as we have stated, God decided to "allow" or "permit"
the possibility of evil in order to make possible an unforced response
of genuine goodness and love. If something contrary to His will happens,
it is because God cannot at that moment stop it without going against
His own nature. How could that be? We believe there are three very good
reasons. First, because although He is the most powerful One in the war,
His righteous nature requires Him to act justly toward His formidable
foe, the Devil. Second, He cannot usurp anyone's personal freedom of
will. Third, His justice requires Him to allow people to experience the
consequences of disobedience.
Lucifer has NO rights to God's word, hence he is trespassing in promoting his junk of counterfeit lies, using the script of God, to administer the darkness, masquerading as if to be light. We need to tell him to get your own fucking word, and promote, your own fucking word, therefore. Again, NO trespassing, sure!
