“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
#We steal from our parents - and even others - then we go and
blame God for allowing thieves and armed robbers to plague our cities and roads.
#We cheat on exams and cause problems in
the real world because we are unable to apply knowledge that we do not have -
#We cheat on our partners and spouses -
#We kill people with insults - slowly and
steadily.... demeaning their spirits and torturing their minds -
#We manipulate and twist things to favour our selves or our own people -
#We bring other people down to elevate
ourselves -
#We make other peoples' children suffer
with us and make our children watch as we demean the humanity and rights of
others -
#We harm ourselves, remain blind to our
blessings and ignore our great and small shortcomings -
#We hate other people because they have
things we want, or because they are different and think different from us -
The truth we all have to face is - Mankind
became it's own worst enemy - delved in its greed for satisfaction to
destroy itself, craved indulgences that tore it thoroughly apart - and when it
saw its destruction at hand, it cried out for a savior. The creator saved them
endlessly and they cried out for more still.... a salvation they could
touch.... a salvation they could see, hear and rationalize with. Mankind just
wanted to be in charge of saving itself.
The truth we all should accept - Mankind
CAN save itself. It just needs to listen. It just needs to change.
The sad truth - Most times Man changes
more to better HIMSELF and less to better mankind. And in the end, "MAN" has
continually loved himself more than even all MANKIND.
Mankind killed the world.... and then it
blamed God for the damage
The answers to the questions asked in the
first article are simple and straight forward. I'll use both the bible and
a logical outline to try to answer them for you - as best I can manage.
The first thing you must understand, is that
we were given the power of choice. If we didn't have that we would be unhappy
that, we had no ability to do what we wanted, and we'd still play a "blame
game" . Now that we have a choice, we choose everything we do and we still blame
God for everything. The world is suffering because men made it to. Inhuman atrocities are being committed, all over the world with so few people being accountable for them. Most of us - not understanding that we are much better off in life than even hundreds of millions of people in the world, don't become thankful for the blessings we already do have, but lash out because we want even more. Our greed and anger and lust and depravity grows more and more as we continually remain unsatisfied. Instead of making sacrifices so that the future would be better - we squeeze out every ounce of opportunity in our field of view, till nothing is left but a rotting carcass.... then we blame corruption.
If we destroyed everything and God came
down to fix it, we'd destroy it again then ask him to redo the fix. We'd
continue this cycle and we'd take God for granted. Be honest. You know that's
what would likely happen.
#God didn't create Hell for us. It was
created for the disobedient angels.
Just the way Jail/Prison wasn't created for
drunk drivers. It was created for thieves, rapists, killers and others that
caused human suffering. But these others now created or caused the potential
for human suffering with their actions and caused human suffering and got
placed in there.
#God did not create suffering. As always
human being are the cause of their own suffering.
The world was made for humans, yet me made it into a "dog eat dog" world. We teach ourselves and our children that we are better than others. We
raise ourselves in status and privilege and take opportunities away from
others. We fight and struggle with others for clashes of interest and refuse to be
satisfied no matter what we have.

#God doesn't go around deciding that people
should just die for no reason. Even in the old testament when the israelites
went to war, they only destroyed their enemies and those who had/took what was
theirs.
The Israelites were Gods' chosen people
then. His promises were to them alone. But Jesus came and died so that everyone
would be eligible. His blood evolved a promise, made to a single collective tribe, to be given to
over 7 billion people.
#God does not hate some people and love
others. You may see a cripple, deaf person, or other disabled from birth people
everywhere and wonder why He would allow them to go through life like that.
But the truth is - God loves everyone. Even
those who do not love Him back. Jesus said that God makes sun to shine on the
evil and the good and the rain to fall on both the just and unjust.(Matthew
5:45)
He has a purpose for everyone. You may be a
lesson, a revelation, a mind opener, a revolutionizer, even an inspiration.
(Jeremiah 1:5) Just look at Pastor
------>
#People keep saying that God should show
Himself and speak so that everyone knows its' Him. We pretend like at that
point we'll listen, but in the end we'd fight against it because we want to
have the freedom to make choices and not feel like we're caged. We don't like being told
what to do - even when it is good for us. We want to make our own futures,
believe our own philosophies, make our own rules - all to favour ourselves.
Jesus came down and told people the truth, and they killed him for it. But He proved that though you can put TRUTH in a grave, you simply cannot keep it there.
The thing is we are actually free. Free to
do whatever we want. But there's always an outcome to what we do with our freedom
- good, or bad. That's the price of our freedom, to choose.... #Consequence or
#Reward.
To save the world or kill it.
Thanks for coming here
Love, Stars and The Choices you make
