| God is Love - What Does it Really Mean? God's Love for his Children Does God design a
soft
breeze to caress the cheek of a man for the short duration of his life (usually less than 100 years) and then burn
him in
hell for an eternity with a wind so hot that his flesh vaporises? How much of a hypocrite do you think God is? Or is it the case that your churches understanding or lack of understanding of his love is where the true hypocrisy lies? How many bakers deny their sons a chance to be a baker? How many doctors deny their sons a chance to be a doctor? So do these bakers and the doctors know more about love than God? Why then does your church not teach you that God will give all of his sons and his daughters a chance to be what he is, namely a God? AV Ps 82:6 . I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High. Indeed Jesus has already been given that chance and taken it! Which of your own fleshly sons would you like to kill permanently, or perhaps inflict torture on forever? So why does your church not teach that hell is a temporary sin bin (a true correctional facility), rather than a place of perpetual torture or death? And why is it not obvious to your church or indeed to you, that God will one day save Adam his firstborn human son and one day save even Satan himself (who was in fact his original firstborn angelic son - see U243)? Is it because the head of your church did not read the scripture which says... 9 He is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance (2 Peter 3) Do you think God will be frustrated by this desire, because he is not quite powerful enough to achieve it? Isaiah answers saying... 10 Everything that is my delight I shall do (Isaiah 46). So there it is. A two piece jigsaw. When it is put together it says tells us that God WILL save everyone. That is absolutely every man, every woman, every child and every angel created. Indeed he will save every foetus into which a spirit has been installed (we presently believe this occurs around mid-term into the pregnancy, 17-20 weeks, we presently believe - see J13). 1John4:8 tells us that God is love. And Jesus' name (Yeshua) means Jehovah is salvation, whereas Elisha's name means God is salvation. So if God is love and God is salvation, then love is salvation, since equality is transitive. Since God loves us all, however unrighteous our behaviour, he will save us all, for that is what love is. Another two piece jigsaw. Then we have the Lord's prayer... 6 Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6) So his will is going to be done everywhere, and his will is that all men should be saved... 3 This is fine
and
acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God, So he will save us all. Another two piece jigsaw! But if that is too complex for ye great and holy researchers of the perfect word of God, try this one piece jigsaw (included especially for Americans)... 10 For to this end we are working hard and exerting ourselves, because we have rested our hope on a living God, who is a Savior of all men, especially of faithful ones [but also of unfaithful ones through the sin bin of Gehenna (Hell)] (1 Timothy 4). In other words: Love never fails and we are told we must love our enemies and you cannot love the non existent or the perpetually roasted. Put those two together and you see again that everyone will be saved eventually, both our friends and our enemies. For love bears all things, love endures all things, even the sort of behaviour that puts us into Gehenna (Hell)! For the Jewish reader, under law the sin offering worked as follows... The fat was burnt at the altar, representing the stored up knowledge of the futility of sin that wicked behaviour produces as a fruit. The flesh was burnt outside the camp respresenting the outcome for the body of the sinner. But the blood, the life, the spirit of the sinner, was spattered 7 times before the curtain and put on the horns of the altar etc. It was not destroyed. So the spirit of the sinner lives on. In fact the statement: 'Love never fails' - means that love will succeed with all of us. It means that love will succeed even with Genghis Khan, who will one day become a loving marshmallow like God, and he will be saved on the very day he does. It means that love will one day succeed even with Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot. It will succeed with every hell's angel, every gold digging slapper. Yes, every callous woman or man who trampled on love for a few bucks or some meaningless status or worldly security, will one day fall into genuine love forever as will we all. Love will succeed with every porno queen who abused the passions of a hundred thousand men, every warmongering politician who sent young men and women to their deaths in order to procure another 24 hours of power for himself, every corrupt bureaucrat who wasted the fruits of his brother's labour, every adulterer, every murderer, every paedophile, every paedophobe (men or women who desert their own children - they may not be on the list of men but they sure as hell are on the list of God). It means we shall all be saved eventually. Even Ken Livingstone will one day be saved (after apologising to a few million drivers). Yes even Donald Rumsfeld will one day be saved (after apologising to a few million Iraqis). Even Robert Mugabe himself will be saved (after apologizing to a few million Zimbabweans). Even the feminists who have destroyed the headship of every husband in the West which has led to teenage gangs which constantly fight for headship - even those sick power hungry mistresses of misery will be saved. For St. Paul has informed us that love never fails. And love's success is our salvation. Why Does God Save all of us when our Behaviour is so Contemptible? The short answer is because he loves us. So let's ask the question again. Why does he love us? Well it is because even the foulest most animalistic most anempathetic most selfish shallow pig on the face of this earth loves someone, even if it is only himself. For there is something in his heart which is so powerful that it can transform the impenetrable granite of indifference into the quilted luxury of love. Now we humans cannot always see that seed of love in his heart, because in many cases it has hardly germinated at all! But God can see it, because he put it there. It is that seed, that seed alone, which makes us worth saving. It makes us all worth saving. That is why we are commanded to love even our enemies. And that is what it means to be a son of God. And Jesus was our mentor for he showed us the power of unconditional love through his forgiveness of even those who killed him in ignorance. So God very rarely saves us for what we are. He mainly saves us for what he knows we can be. But being omnipotent and omniscient he is actually saving us for what he knows we will be, one day. May that day come soon! |
