Neville said,
So whatever catastrophe occurred, had to be man-made. There was no Noah's Ark.
Otherwise our Father would be tarred with the same vile brush that tars the
Ezraelites. The father of the Ezraelites is the Devil, as Christ told them
plainly, and the works of their father they do. The god of the Old
Testament/Torah/Talmud is the Devil.
I am waking up to my bugle call. A little late, perhaps, but better late than
never!!
But Neville we all have this human feeling of horror about what appears to be
Gods inhuman treatment of humans.
Have you not considered the way we commonly accept and understand it? To God
the entire history of the world to its consumation is the spark off a
blacksmiths anvil, compared to eternity.
God is not human. Jesus yes, but He has the same omnipotence and omniprescience
as the Father. What is any form of suffering, even if continuous for a lifetime
of years compared to eternity. Yet you find intolerable a few hours of
violence. Of course its man made, or caused, even if the direct hand of God is
involved.
God knows the whole picture, and you endanger your soul by denying Him that
right, by trying to impose or limit Him to human intelligence or reason, even
human justice.
In short, if you understood the metaphysical implications of the crucifixion,
the eternal sacrifice, that no ordinary man could sustain, yet was accepted by
the man God Jesus, as reparation for the offences of all mankind, then the
horror that you and I feel at these skirmishes , Dresden, Palestine, et al are
minor. Keep in mind, these people have rejected God. If innocent children die
by the sword, and inherit eternal life, I do not think they will complain, but
rather thank God for taking out their parents in time. As indeed the Jews.Their
suffering is yet to come.
Eternal life is not free. The saints embraced suffering.
Philip.
