First, the only "good" in the world is the Holy Spirit that resides in the hearts of "saved" mankind. Many try to live "good" lives and DO good works, but that is WORKS. Goodness by Gods standard cannot be acquired or bought by works. The devil knows what works with people. He knows that to get people to blame God with man's own rebellion, then they arn't looking at him (the devil) as the author of the evil around us. There is no good in man apart from Jesus Christ. Just because horrible things happen does not mean that these things are going unpunished by God. Believe me there will be a reckoning day. We on this earth live in a very dangerous world. Not because God is responsible, but because man and the devil are responsible. Man rebelled in the Garden and we have paid for it since. Man is already condemned, John 3:18: Jesus speaks: "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God". vs.19: "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil". vs.20: "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.". vs.21:"But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God".<br /><br />So, don't look for good outside of Jesus. And don't blame evil on a Holy God that has given us His Son as a payment for our sins. God is patient not willing that any should be lost. Therefore, He is giving man time to come to Him. And time is running out. Trust Jesus, you can't go wrong with Him, but you can go to hell without Him. Thanks for your time and consideration of these remarks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-25968501446782377752009-10-27T11:07:24.110-04:002009-10-27T11:07:24.110-04:00Hey, at least that "beast" didn't qu...Hey, at least that "beast" didn't question some of the things going on at his church. He (assuming its a man) didn't "attack" "God's man." He is just a sinner like the rest of us, right? Right, unless he persistently questions God's Gifts to us (professional clergy/staff.)<br /><br />I hope they trespass that man (and his wife if he has one) and proclaim a deacon's resolution about him. I hope the JSO obtain subpoena's and find out who he is. He must be identified and stopped and called unstable and sociopathic in the paper when they find out who he is.... Hmmm.

We are to be angry at evil and sin. But to blame God for allowing it is grossly wrong. God does not allow sin and evil. He gave man free will. The earth is not yet brought to judgement, but will, and the wrath and anger of God will be fearsome indeed. That is why man must choose today whom he will go with spiritually. The devil is the prince and power of "this air". That is this earth. To say that God allowed this horrible crime is to say that God picks and chooses which sin He allows and which He doesn't. Not true. God provided His own Son, Jesus, as the Sacrifice, for OUR sins that we might NOT suffer the wrath that will be poured out on Judgement Day. Man does not "get away" with sin. It will be dealt with by God. If we humans find the evil of the devil hard to understand and deal with, how much more does a perfect God hate it. Especially when you think that He put all evil and sin on Jesus as the payment for us. Jesus was PERFECT, but became the sin bearer for us. What love is that!!!! Man does not posess understanding to know Gods mind. But, when we suffer at the hands of evil, know that we are NOT ALONE. Jesus suffered alone, so that we don't have to. We are not in Heaven yet we are still on this evil earth where man has free will to belong to Jesus or go the way of the devil. If one does not choose Jesus then one chooses the devil. Just "living a good life" will not make one good. As all mankind is under the death penality of sin. ALL MANKIND. Only Jesus saves us!!!! 1 Cor. 13"12: "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face; now I know in part; but then shall I know even as I am known".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-14739238252980871742009-10-27T10:23:51.790-04:002009-10-27T10:23:51.790-04:00Johnny D: Just to add to 6:18 Bro. Rod's remar...Johnny D: Just to add to 6:18 Bro. Rod's remarks. God gave man free will. This important to unserstand. Man can exercise his will for either good or for evil. If one is evil continually then that person's father is the Devil. If a person is truly born again and tries to do the right thing continually his father is God. Even though the "good" person will always come short of Gods perfection, we are to TRY to be like HIM. Like BRO., Rod said, mankind suffers from sin all the way back to the garden with Adam and Eve. That's why ALL mankind needs a Savior. Wars and killings have been going on since Cain and Abel...it is rebellion. That's why Satan was thrown out of heaven along with his angels as they rebelled against God. It all boils down to this..."choose this day whom you will serve". Its either God or the devil. The broad road and the narrow road. Jesus told one of the most religious men (Nichodemus) of the day that he had to be born again. To be not born again is to be lost, and on the road to hell. God does not make anyone come to salvation..its free but man has the choice to accept or reject it. One last thing; the Bible declares that in the Last Days men will become more devilish (like the devil). Good will become evil and evil will become good, that surely is ocurring right before our eyes, in all areas of life. Sin is excused and there are no absolutes to govern evil man's behavior. No Heaven is not to be found on this earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-38749029637806042432009-10-27T10:18:53.852-04:002009-10-27T10:18:53.852-04:00Inclusiveness is just a by word that Democrats lik...Inclusiveness is just a by word that Democrats like to use--and then never practice it.
