Hell, death; {as a transition, the like of when we exit our automobiles; we do not ‘die’, but the auto is then in a state of inactivity, as a result of the withdrawal of life; not as a state of being}, sickness, darkness, a devil, are of our ego’s making and our delusional story of a fearful separation from a supposed wrathful and vengeful god of our own making.
Remember,
GOD IS LOVE
So I cannot imagine how,
Sickness
Hell
Darkness
A devil
Work together With/In GOD for Our good and GOD’S Purpose for –
We know that persecution, therefore sufferings as our walk IN GOD are our part and parcel here and now:
But a supposed illusionary hell, a devil, darkness, sickness and death, cannot work together for good, or even benefit in our salvation, as only THAT which is Lovely, Of Good Report …
In this there are no exceptions !!!
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
Philippians 4:8 KJV
The Purpose of GOD is unto, or a leading to, a resulting in, a lesson for, the end result being
SALVATION
The SALVATION OF OUR SOULS
THE RENEWING OF OUR MINDS
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST
Is not the LIFE THAT IS IN the supposed sinner or heathen THAT LIFE THAT ONLY COMES FROM GOD?
Or did we create Ourselves?
Or is it the life of Satan, the devil?
Is Our breath, the so called devils breath?
It is ALL a giant ego delusion, THAT we would believe a lie, told to us by Ourselves.
We can obviously deny:
Sickness; GOD IS HEALING
Sin, {as inherited, inherent depravity and separation to and from GOD.
Not as mistake; or a falling short of the glory of GOD; a literal missing of the mark.
{Always eternally unforgiven.
Forget about the Grace Mercy and LOVE of GOD, the Atonement, the Forgiveness of GOD, the Sacrifice of the SON OF GOD, of Jesus’ word to us of forgiving 70×7 and of LOVING OUR ENEMIES.}
Just like children m, who fall over and then get back up.
We do not burn these in our backyards for their want of trying and lack of perception, knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
Whether through lack of knowledge or understanding, lack of trying, wilful non compliance, or lack of cooperation.}
IN GOD IS NO SHADOW OF TURNING
or darkness; GOD IS LIGHT AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL !!!
A devil; is the designation given by the ego to blame an outside force, created and allowed by GOD WHO IS LOVE.
This is the egos’s attempt at reason.
This reasoning and all the above states, are in fact, obviously insanity !!!
Again my purpose in teaching my kids how much I love them, or especially if they are particularly disobedient, is to take them out to the back yard and set fire to them and leave them there for eternity.
All our neighbours, supposedly Whom GOD asks us to love, as we love GOD, as we love ourselves, don’t count; for they are not part of Our family, they just go into the communal bonfire.
Does this not explain our preoccupation with warfare; if it’s good enough for GOD, it’s good enough for us, with all the heathen; { not Our Brothers and Sisters from the same FATHER}.
Again, as reason attests, even if broken down to this, all this is total insanity.
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:31-39 KJV
