Subject: Can anyone answer these simple questions |
Bible Note: I'll try. Your question: "If a stranger invades your home and beats, rapes, mutilated, brainwashed, and/or kills your family, can these type of demons be trusted?" My answer: You can trust them to remain true to their nature. If they are alive to sin, you can trust them to be sinful. However, with God all things are possible, so if they die to sin and are born again, the old nature dies and God gives them a new nature in Him. So long as they abide in Christ and obey His commandments, you can trust that they will live according to His nature. Your question: "How or why would we think that The True Loving God would allow his name to be defiled by having such DECEIVERS BRING THE WORD OF GOD TO THE WORLD." My answer: God gives us our freewill so that we may freely accept Him. Some choose other than His ways, including what you have described. If He did not allow this, our choice to be with Him would have no meaning. People defile the Name of God in many ways, including the one you describe. Yet, God can turn every curse into a blessing; I note how persecution of the Jerusalem church caused the church to grow. Had the first Christians not been persecuted for their faith, it is doubtful they would have ever left Jerusalem. Did God persecute the church to make this happen? All that we beleive tells us the answer is "NO". Rather, we believe He did find a way to use that wickedness for His purposes. Unfortunately, the rest of your post seems to violate term #2 of this forum not to attack "the authority of the Bible". However, at the risk of promoting further violations, I respond: You said: "in order to spread the WORD OF GOD, you first have to mentally destroy an individual and then try and rebuild planting a whole new way in their head." My response: Ironically, you have described a perversion of what the Bible teaches, i.e. that we must die on the cross with Christ, then be resurrected to new life. You said: "The Truth is so powerful that all you have to do is speak it!" My response: A liar will not be believed even if he is telling the truth. I'm not sure if this statement, or anything like it is in the Bible, but it seems true enough. You said: "we don't have to pray to a priest, or minister in order to get to God." My response: True. However, we have access to God the Father only through Christ. Without the righteousness bestowed upon us by Him, we cannot enter the presence of the Father. You said: "Your spirit is your real truth, for it is God speaking to you." Jesus said: "I am the truth." You said: "No book in this world can limit, or DEFINE GOD." The Bible does neither, rather it teaches that God is real, loves us and wants to have a relationship with us. Indeed, the Bible teaches that God is limitless and cannot be defined. Parable |
