Subject: Why is death God's enemy? |
Bible Note: Like all of God's qualities, they are in perfect balance. He doesn't use his power like a bull in a China shop. He's not so merciful that he will exempt the wicked from punishment. How would you like it if your best friend had the most incredible singing voice in the world, so he never talked. As you tried to converse with him, he would be singing his thoughts to you, whether having a serious conversation or not. It would certainly detract from the overall person. So too, if God's chooses to know everything. And how insincere his own expressions through the prophets that he sent to turn nations and individuals around so as to avoid his wrath and instead experience his abundant goodness. You've heard this reasoning before, but as I've told others, some insist on clinging to one or two verses that seem so clear to them, but which can't mean what it appears, or God would be unrighteous. Never may that be so! |
