Is God’s Character Good and Bad?



Some people believe God’s character is both good and bad and dependent on situational ethics will determine which mood He will exhibit...His good mood or His bad mood. Really now...are we serving such a fickle God that what we do or don’t do determines His mood as to how He treats us? If that is our understanding of God our understanding is a misunderstanding of our awesome, consistent, unchanging, lovable and loving God!


God's reason for creating us humans was not so mankind would cower from Him in fear and understand Him as unreachable, unknowable, unlikeable, unappreciative, uncaring, a unloving egotistical deity who as a superiority complex so large and a revenge attitude so wild, that He watches for our wrong-doings so He can swat us with calamities and beat us into submission because we have failed to please Him. And according to some “loving Christians” (at least by their claim they are”) believe God is and I quote: “The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight; you are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes, than the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours.”


This egotistic, sadistic, revengeful, angry, hateful, selfish view of God is a carry over from the pagan view that their gods were appeased by the people succumbing to the religious rules and ceremonies of their deceived warped understanding and is now projected on the one true God. Does that mean that God is like that? Off course not, just because men believe it does not make it so, it is merely a figment of a dis-eased warped mind set.


The one and only true God is all-loving, all-gracious, all-receptive, all-patient, all-powerful, all-joyful, all-peaceful, all-giving, all-generous, all-good, all-glorious, all-knowable all-caring, and the all-forgiving One who wants, and will have, the whole earth to be filled with the knowledge of His glory and of His gracious self! 


And He provided for and makes relationship with Him possible and freely available only through His Son.

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t
