Bible Question:
How different is the God of the Bible from the God of modern Christendom! The conception of Deity which prevails most widely today, even among those who profess to give heed to the Scriptures, is a miserable caricature, a blasphemous travesty of the Truth. The God of the twentieth century is a helpless, effeminate being who commands the respect of no really thoughtful man. The God of the popular mind is the creation of maudlin sentimentality. The God of many a present-day pulpit is an object of pity rather than of awe-inspiring reverence. To say that God the Father has purposed the salvation of all mankind, that God the Son died with the express intention of saving the whole human race, and that God the Holy Spirit is now seeking to win the world to Christ; when, as a matter of common observation, it is apparent that the great majority of our fellowmen are dying in sin, and passing into a hopeless eternity; is to say that God the Father is disappointed, that God the Son is dissatisfied, and that God the Holy Spirit is defeated. We have stated the issue baldly, but there is no escaping the conclusion. To argue that God is "trying His best" to save all mankind, but that the majority of men will not let Him save them, is to insist that the will of the Creator is impotent, and that the will of the creature is omnipotent. To throw the blame, as many do, upon the Devil, does not remove the difficulty, for if Satan is defeating the purpose of God, then, Satan is Almighty and God is no longer the Supreme Being.

Bible Answer: The Lord is now no longer the willing scapegoat or willing sacrifice, he is now aand forever the King of Kings and Lord of Lords he is the First and the Last the Alpha and Omega he is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, when you work out your salvation be sure you are doing it with fear and trembling. The devil and his demons tremble at the very name of Jesus he will return on a white horse prepared for battle and he will crush the armies of the nations and the anti-Christ. He is the ruler of the universe and beyond he is the Lord of the host and the Sabboth (Army of Heaven).Heaven is his throne and the Earth is his footstool. Need I say more about my God? Oh yeah...He is not very liberal at all. |
