Baby is this the God you love better than me?

For my former girlfriend

Baby did you honestly dump me because I hate this God? I hope he loves you better and doesn't dissapoint you like I did. God Forbid!

1)Do you believe in human responsibility for the affairs of life? If yes, where does God fit in?

2)Is eternal destiny (final judgement) in the hands of man's choice such that God can only wish and guess the end? What, does God know the end? If yes, why bother try to save those of whom he's already sure won't go to heaven?

3)What is grace if observing the written code can justify you before God? Are you purely sinless now? Is there a lesser sin? So, you live by grace?

4)Can you do anything for God to love you more, or less? Can anything in the world separate you from the eternal love of Christ? Can Christ condemn you, who condemneth?
5)Who created evil (God or Satan), and for what purpose?

6)If the devil tempts people into doing evil, who tempted him to do his?

7)If evil happens at the command of God, is Lucifer just a puppet?

8)Can God test a man? What, does he not know man, coz you may only test that which you are not sure of? If God knows man is he then just trying to prove a point, to whom? I thought God knew those who are his, meaning Satan knows those who are not since his judgement (together with his followers) has already been passed.

9)Familiar with the "let him who is evil continue therein and let him who is good continue therein"? So what is conversion?

10)Do you believe Jesus was accused of drunkenness because of his public drinking? What do you think he said to justify his acts?

11)If the tithe is part of the law and it is being emphasised by the church today, are we under law or grace?

12)Then why not observe the Sabbath as well?

13)"The evil that I don't want to do I do," do you think evil can take a born again (justified) person to hell? If yes, does that mean good can take a non-reborn (unjustified) person to heaven?

14)What do we believe in? Us or God? Who's in charge, him or we?

15)What can we say about our faith in a generalising sentence, which can without ambiguity, explain to ourselves and others what/whom we and God are? To paraphrase, what can we say about the relationship between creation (cosmos and chaos) and its creator?


Think about this after answering me:
(erroneous opinion)
Surely it is perilous to place much emphasis on the power of God (meaning everything that happens, including good and evil, does so by his power and will), coz that makes him appear as a tyrannical sadist who enjoys human fault and consequential misery, however, if we stress absolute human responsibility, we make God powerless.


As it has been said by many an atheist (objective thinker), the question of evil is troubling, especially when our God supposedly hates evil. Shall we say God is all-good, it means he hates all evil, but then why does he let it happen if he hates it? His all-powerfulness makes him capable of stopping evil, but since he doesn't, this may mean that he is not anti-evil, thus not all-good. Martin Luther said that the greatest evil of them all is not what evil men do, but it is the indifference of good men. Is our God indifferent? But if he does want to stop evil due to his all-goodness, but he cannot, this means he is not all-powerful. This makes it worse when he says "I create evil and good, I the Lord do all these things. Shall there be evil (rape, murder, poverty, divorce, abortion, hate, war, Satanism) in a city, except I, the Lord has done it. Good and evil happen at the command of the Lord." Isaiah 45:7, Amos 3:6, Lamentations 3:37,38. This is truly the God of the Israelites, that's why they feared him, for to them there was no Satan but an angry God who could destroy at will. Moses told this God that he should repent from his evil.


Shall we say we were not predestined, but chose salvation on our own, when God says "I establish the end before the beginning"? Doesn't this mean that God, before creating the sinful Adam, he had already established the redemptive Christ, who according to the book of Revelations was the lamb slain before the foundation of the earth? Surely God does not predict the end like a sangoma, but he establishes, he ensures it is as he sees it, from beginning to end. He qualifies and disqualifies, he declares, he elects, he predestines (creates a destiny before).


What about when he talks about the twins (Esau and Jacob), one of which he hated without cause and loving the other without cause (Romans 9:16), and yet we say God loves everyone while he himself denies it. What about the verse that says, those whom he foreknew, he also predestined, those whom he predestined he justified, and those he justified he glorified? Should these verses be ignored? Are they humanistic philosophy that seeks to destroy faith? What about when he says those who are in my father's hand nothing can snatch them out? What more about when he says, "no one can come to me unless my father enables him"? Was Jesus insane for saying this? What about the verse that says "do not worry about those who have fallen, they were never part of us"? Which holy book are we reading?


If God calls us his chosen, what do we call those who were not chosen? I call them the rejected. Those that come to him he does not reject yes, but no one can come to him unless enabled of the father, meaning anyone who does not come was disabled of the father (John 6:65).


There are more than four hundred verses that I have personally read that speak of an evil God who rejects and chooses on a segregatory basis. I would say demons are godly (God is the father of all spirits), but God is not necessarily demonic. Read Jude 8-10 and I Kings 22: 19-23. All spirits fear this evil God, for he is the author and the finisher. Biblical Apartheid? Maybe, but oh man who are you to argue with your maker? Paul I know, Jesus I know, but who are you?
