Hello Roy,

We have had it drilled into our heads all our lives that God gave us a list of commandments, but we being so 'free-willed' [and evil] continue to break them all the time, and each time we do God gets ticked off at us. But this is not at all what the Scriptures teach! God doesn't get 'angry' each time we sin... He already knew we would sin long before we did so.. each time.. every time.. So it's not like God says, 'Gosh dangit, you screwed up again! What's wrong with you?'....

Bottom Line: This is ALL for US, and for OUR understanding, and for OUR correction, to make US holy. God chastens us NOT because we are these stupid evil creatures, but because through His Chastening.. WE BECOME MORE LIKE HIM.

From our perspective, God is punishing us for being bad; but from God's perspective, He is teaching us HOW TO OBEY.


Hope this helps.

   Yes it does help.Thank you.

To put any puzzle together we have to lay the pieces out on the table and then one by one it starts to become a picture.
