I do not always feel good about writing what I have, even though all of it is true and can all be found on the greatest resource library in the world.com. The reason I hate writing negative things about institutions that claim to be followers of God is because I love the God of Heaven. When I see people do mean, vicious and ugly things “in the name of God” I want to call down the wrath of God on those hypocrites. Then I realize that I am thinking just as they are and I get a sick feeling inside of myself that makes me want to stand before God and apologize for the way we are as human beings. We were once made to be just like him, and it would have been perfectly beautiful, but a rebellious change was made in the very early stages of this world’s history and as a result we are now destined to watch the course of that rebellion come to its final end. God never will force you to choose. He has so much as said, “If that is the way you want it, then that is the what you will get. Just remember though, you will reap the consequences of your decisions.”
No, I am not throwing stones here, but I am a little off the subject of prophecy and I apologize. I also want to apologize to all the people out there who, understandably, get a bad taste in their mouths whenever the subject of God is mentioned around them.
Maybe they have a bad taste in their mouths because they see those people who claim to represent God, behaving like the evil power that is really in control of their actions. Anyone who has picked up a weapon against another person and killed in the name of God are not behaving as Christ did when he walked this land in human form, in the person of Jesus.
Maybe these people have a bad taste in their mouths because they were forced, against their will and in a mean-spirited way, to adhere to God’s commandments as a child. Maybe they were made to view God as a vengeful being and made to feel all of the power, terror and the guilt of the frowning face of God upon them as he watched and waited for them to do something wrong so he could punish them and maybe even put them to death so he could have the “pleasure” of hearing them scream in agony for eternity in a living, burning hell, filled with fire and brimstone.
Please believe me when I say that I am so sorry for the way God has been misrepresented to you.
When you want to know what God is like, I suggest you study the life of Jesus and see how he treated people. There is where you will see the true face of God.
I know, first you have to get past the God of the Old Testament who seemed to just love to kill all of the men, women, children and even the animals of the wicked people, so room could be made for his chosen people.
Well, I guess we are here, so we might as well get into it and settle a few of the questions you might have…at least try to anyway. I know what you are thinking because I used to think the same way. There is always more than just one side to the story though, so let’s do a little reasoning here and see what we come up with. Here is where I step out onto a limb and start cutting it off behind me.
I want you to think for a moment…what would it be like if there were no laws or legal controls in this world? What would this world be like if everyone, everywhere, did whatever they pleased and had no one to answer to? Free reign! If you wanted something that someone else had, you could take it from them. Even if they did not give you any trouble you could kill them, and their family, leave their dead bodies to rot where they fell and just go on back to your own business. No questions, no cops, no law, no restraints…unlimited freedom to the max.
Think about that. Just take a little bit of time and think about it. What would you do if there were no consequences whatsoever to your actions? What would you...and those around you do and how far would you go if you could just do as you pleased? Go ahead, put the book down. Think about it for a little while and see what you come up with. I will still be here when you get back and then I will tell you what happened when just that very thing was the way of life. I have already thought about it and read about it, so I will just wander off to bed for a little while and leave you to your thoughts. I will see you in the morning and then we will talk. Good night.
