On HELL---a few of God's random omissions!

<< < (3/3)

JohnMichael:
I was just discussing a topic related to this with a good friend, and brother in Christ today.

When we hear statements like these:

"God is just a kid with a magnifying glass"
"God is a vicious monster that will torture His creation for all eternity" (what they are really saying when they say Hell & Free Will are real)
"There is no God"
"God is a vindictive, petulant, worship-hungry two year old" (again, what they really mean when they preach Hell & Free Will)

etc, etc, etc.

We may get angry or sad. We may shake our heads in disappointment or grief. There are many reactions we might have.

However, how do these statements make our Holy, Loving, Heavenly Father feel?

These statements are falsehoods spit at Him. The only thing I can compare it to is how a parent feels when their child accuses them, says they hate them, says horrible and hateful things about them, etc. It really got me thinking the other night. How much pain have we inflicted on our Father with our careless statements or thoughts? (I'm speaking of humanity as a whole when I say "us" because we forums members were there once too.)

It really brings depth and meaning to His mercy, His love, His goodness, and everything that is so wonderfully and amazingly HIM. To borrow from David, "what is man that You are mindful of him..." (Psa 8:4)

In Him,
John

Foxx:
No God did not create sin.

God made us spiritually too weak not to sin.

James 1:13 - 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

We were made capable of sinning, God made us knowing we would only do that which was in our nature. Without him we cannot NOT sin.
