Final Judgement
Part 2
I think of Trump as more of a roadblock to the Dems' headlong dash to promote a globalist, authoritarianism than as a saviour of the world who will usher in some kind of political utopia. Trump, in terms of character, is as lacking as the next man: he lacks humility, he is prone to reject justified criticism; he's boastful and full of himself. But is he God's man for the moment? Indeed he is, otherwise he wouldn't even be occupying the position of President. But that doesn't make him a man of God. I haven't seen anything in the character of DJT that would incline me to believe he is a disciple of Jesus Christ, i.e. a man of God. He's a Nebuchadnezzar who may, at some point, look to heaven to find hius Creator. But that doesn't prevent God from using him even in his prideful arrogance.
>The concept of Hell was created by the Catholic Church to force catholics to pay the "tenth".
You obviously haven't read Jesus' words.
Matt 10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
If you think logically, hell is a necessity of justice. Unless you subscribe to the concept of corrupt judges who let off people like Jussie Smollett. All evil MUST be punished and eradicated if good is to prevail. A just judge will not allow the evildoer to escape justice. God is not a corrupt judge. He WILL punish evildoers. UNLESS they accept his redemtional plan where as one man, Adam, brought sin into the world, one man Jesus, paid the penalty for sin so all men who believe in his substitutionary death on behalf of all who have sinned, are saved from God's righteous judgement.
>The One (God) who can DESTROY (Not burn you forever) both soul and body in hell.
You have not understood Scripture. Hell is a state of eternal justice where people get what they deserve - forever.
Four words for you to consider. Eternal justice without mercy.
>Yes, the justice they deserve is eternal death…not eternal torment in a lake of fire.
>
>The Hell of fire is the thing that the Catholic Church invented.
If death itself is cast into the lake of fire, how can you propose eternal death? The torment of hell is self-induced and has to do with an eternal existence of self-recrimination.
Perfect justice necessarily demands perfect punishment of transgression. There is no relativity in God. He is absolute. What part of logic have you not understood?
>Jesus said that the Good Thief would be with him in heaven.
Yes - and why? Because he believed in Jesus to be the Messiah - the one who would bear the sins of the world. You need to understand the Biblical concept of a scapegoat. Then you should investigate what is meant by propitiation, substitutionary atonement and imputation.
>First 5 minutes I had to stop watching.
Just have to say, you so epitomise the "itchy ears" spoken of in 2 Tim 3
For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…
You don't want to hear it so you refuse to listen, therefore you are without excuse.
>GOD will judge ALL men with justice and righteousness
Absolutely. Have you ever considered that God is a just judge not a corrupt judge and that he will render to all men their just desserts? Consider how you would feel if you presented your case before an unjust judge who allowed the guilty to go free? Jussie Smollett is a great, contemporary example of unjust judgement. Do you really believe that the Creator of this world, and the originstor of justice, is a corrupt judge? If not, then you must accept that all men will be judged according to Godf's righteouness. Which is why we need a saviour since none of us could possibly be found innocent before God's righteous juidgement.
>Could GENESIS actually be about TODAY?
That's an interesting question to begin a debate.
Purely from a logical perspective, you/I had a beginning. We had a progenotior. We are here only because something happened in the past. And there is an incontrovertible truth about our existence - it happened in one way, and one way only - the way that resulted in ypu/me being here at this moment in time.
That search for the truth, of how I came to be, should, in my opinion, be the lifelong quest of every person who walks this earth.
>No perfect Justice means balanced scales.
That's Egyptian mythology not Christianity. It's not even common sense. Perfect justice means that evil is punished. It has nothing whatsoever to do with balancing evil v righteousness and hoping the latter outweighs the former. Good lord, if that were the case, how on earth would you apply that concept to, say, a man who raped and tortured and killed your daughter? Would you look at his past history and excuse the perpetrator because he'd had a previously clean record?
You have a really screwed up concept of justcice.
>Yes and I am done preaching here for a while again. I've dipped my toes back into the toxic cesspool and I am now very tired and my toes are burned. Maybe one letter of one word I typed will Lodge in someone's brain and do some good. Until we meet again!
This place is not for everyone. Some Christians venture into this back of beyond but it isn't a place that all are called to. Gotta be prepared to be boiled in a pot and eaten by cannibals - metaporically speaking! Be blessed in whatever you choose to do..
