God's relationship with mankind...
....it's like a father that you never met until you were in your 20s, and this is why I refuse to call him dad.
The furthest thing from the truth. Analogy based soley on opinion, possible experiences etc..... Lacks substance The fact of the matter is that it is just the opposite. He's a Father to the Fatherless, Mother to the Motherless etc...
The bible is not just some random put together book that has moral teachings, principles to follow, wisdom to direct. Instruction to guide, the list is goes on. Let's not forget the prophetical accuracies, It is also the greatest love story ever told.
How a God saw that mankind had no one to intervene on his behalf to prevent his eternal judgement of being separated from God. So he robed himself in flesh and became the sacrificial substitute and freed man from his fate
props to people who understand this
More props to those who can't understand denial of the Only Eternal King of Glory.
ask me if you want me to explain.
Only need for an explanation would be if yours is better than the Pharisees that questioned Jesus's abilities back then.
No matter what he did to heal the sick, performing miracles, etc... They still denied who he was with all the proof a man could ask for. So why now would people with the same mindset as the ones who showed disbelief then would change today?
Like I stated before, you have nothing to loose by blindly trusting in God. Following his word to the best of your ability. Its a win, win situation. I know plenty of people that disbelieved in God who changed and now live for him, even those that were in the occult, satanist, witchcraft etc....
Their was a lady before who was high in the ranks of satanic belief. She was able to perform certain abilities in her practices. She encountered a man who held a leadership role in the church. She performed before the preacher certain things to prove that her satanic powers were real. The preacher never denied they were, but he wanted to show that Gods were greater.
The summation of it was that the preacher demostrated the power of God to her through prayer, she stated she never witnessed a power such as this one in all of her satanic practice.
