The Evil God
I often hear people who don’t believe in God say, “How can you believe in a God who would torture people in an inferno of a fire for eternity?” That does not sound like a loving God to me.”
This afternoon I had a talk with my 9 year old grandson and my 13 year old granddaughter. They are having a hard time with self-control with their studies during the China Virus. Many times we find they are not finishing their homework. Therefore, instead of the top grades and awards they were getting during a regular school year, our daughter is being notified by the teacher that her children are not finishing assignments, and their grades reflect it.
As a result, I thought of one of the worst scenarios I could think of in an effort to impress upon them the need to put in the WORK NOW, in order to later become the BEST student with GREAT study habits and wonderful job opportunities. Then they can have a job that makes $20,000 a month instead of only being able to get a job that pays $500 per month. The people living under bridges in the cold of winter don’t have the education to command a top job, therefore they have to settle for what they can get. It won’t even purchase them a place to live. They were not taught to study, and therefore, they didn’t. They are now reaping what they had sewn earlier in life.
It must have made in impression, as they both chose the $20,000 a month. I told them, “With that kind of money, you will be able to support Missionaries around the world, and not be afraid you and your family will end up in the cold, living under a bridge.” It literally has FRIGHTENED them to study and be the BEST.
Well, God is doing the same thing with us. He is not trying to be cruel. Actually, because He is madly in love with us, He tells us the worst thing possible that can happen. Fire turned up so high that it burns forever in a place called Hell. Those who will not listen to the Helper (Holy Spirit) as He prepares the Sons and Daughters for their Royal roll in God’s Kingdom, God will have no other choice but to give them the same fate as the Evil one they are choosing to follow. Our Father is trying to make it sound SO terrible, the Sons and Daughters will RUN AWAY from Hell, and TO Him.
It’s not God’s fault most are defiant, and they want to have it by their own rules. He is trying to provide all the help in order to prepare the Sons and Daughters. Yet, most prefer to prepare their OWN way, doing what THEY prefer. Well, God’s House. God’s Rules.
For the sake of the rest of us, He will NOT make exceptions, and take a chance His Kingdom will become another wicked “earth”, and this time for eternity. That would ruin it for all the Sons and Daughters who Love Him so deeply, and have practiced and practiced the Royal ways of His Kingdom. It is OUR choice, Not God’s.
God has warned us of the consequences of choosing to follow Evil instead of following Him. Sadly, at the prescribed time, most will be sent to the home of which they have been warned, and they have chosen – the Fires of Hell.
It ALL comes down to the choices WE make!
