Loving all judging none, agreeing to disagree, are you familiar with the expressions, "Have your cake and eat it too?" or "When we stand for nothing we fall for anything?" or how about, "If there is a God, then why does he allow such chaos, poverty and destruction to happen around the world?"
Firstly, to have your cake and eat it too, is like a Christian with one foot in the faith of Christ, and the other in the world; Pharisaic, or denominational faith, trust, and pride at work, when Jesus tells us in Revelation 3:16, that because of such a position, not hot, cold, but warm, you may as well have no faith: specifically, "I will spit you out of my mouth!"
Secondly, no greater secular words spoken than, 'when we stand for nothing, we fall for anything,' because that is where the masses find themselves today; yet in their defense, not 100% of the people's fault, because of the control the devil is allowed while this earth exists, as he continues to gravely, secretly, and more openly than ever, deceive the multitudes.
Because of who God is, all sovereign and holy, providing the world FREE-CHOICE, FREE-WILL, to believe or not to believe in Jesus, this also answers the next concern regarding the question, "if there is a God, then why does he allow such chaos, poverty, and destruction to happen around the world," because in order for free-will to exist, evil must also exist, giving man the choice to believe or not to believe; we don't find that in the Quran!
So, in answering the last question plainly, "why such chaos, poverty, and destruction?" - IT IS MAN who allows such conditions to take place, not God, because man chooses to believe in lies, over the inerrant and infallible truth of Jesus Christ Living God.
We can argue this point until the cows come home, however, until just one, anywhere, can prove God's living word to be with error and fallible, which it cannot, with too many to count who have tried, the case is closed, and the world will continue its inevitable demise.
In my last post regarding 'The Protocol's of the Learned Elders of Zion,' you can read, or view the corresponding video itself, from where the post evolved, reading and/or seeing for yourself, of how the Cabal behind our current PlanDemic, is and has been using blatant demonic infiltration of not only the mind of man, but every facet and business sector of life imaginable; simply put, no matter our age, history has been a lie, with a satanic agenda to depopulate the world from approximately 7-8 billion to 500,000,000 - NOT A JOKE - yet not going to happen, whether you believe in Jesus Christ or not!
Nothing will happen as these demonic clowns of the Cabal are believing it will. God is God, and they are not! He is the Creator, and they are the created. And either way, those who have placed their faith in Jesus, strong or weak in said faith, could lose their life this very day, but will not and cannot lose their soul, for God alone controls life and death, offering salvation to man through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
In other words, there are only two paths to take - two choices to make; Christ or the world! Jesus teaches in Matthew 7:13-14, “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it."
Good people don't go to heaven, only those who believe, by faith alone, in Christ do. Yet sadly, we have Christians teaching everything from mysticism, spirituality, Greek mythology, and the latest, that God's love is conditional.
From the book, "Foundations of Sound Doctrine," by Calvary Outpost School of Ministry and author Mike Ellicott, on page 26, they are teaching the following:
God’s love is merciful and full of pity, which is clearly shown by Christ’s death upon the cross for us. But it is not unconditional—we must put our faith and trust in Christ’s atoning sacrifice in order to receive the benefits of His love and be spared from His anger. If His love truly were unconditional, there would be no anger! There would be no penalty for sin, no judgment, and no need for Jesus to die on the cross to atone for our sins. If there were no conditions, a perfect sacrifice would not have been required to purchase our pardon; all sinners would live forever in heaven; faith and trust in Jesus would not be required.
To live believing there are conditions to God's love is to fulfill Galatians 5:4, which says, "For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace," meaning, as the above teaching indicates, we are still trying to earn God's blessings and favor; we can't do enough or pray enough to please him, which is 'Performance Based Christianity,' and not the Grace of God.
Grace is God giving us what we do not deserve; AND NOT having to earn it as the people did according to the law given us by Moses (Mosaic Law), which is long obsolete; Jesus came to return to us grace that was lost at mount Sinai!
God’s love for mankind, as described in the Bible, is clearly unconditional, in that His love is expressed toward the objects of His love despite their disposition toward Him. In other words, God loves without placing any conditions on the loved ones; He loves because it is His nature to love (1 John 4:8). That love moves Him toward benevolent action: “For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.” (Matthew 5:45).
Romans 5:6-8 teaches: "When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."
Reading through the book of Romans, we learn that we are alienated from God due to our sin. We are at enmity with God, and His wrath is being revealed against the ungodly for their unrighteousness (Romans 1:18–20). We reject God, and God gives us over to our sin. Everyone has sinned and fall short of God's glorious standard (Romans 3:23) and no one is righteous, not even one; no one is seeking God (Romans 3:10–18).
At the bottom of page 28 of this same book under honest critique, author teaches:
The “holiness of God” describes His uniqueness, pure goodness, and His power. His holiness radiates from Him like overwhelming, powerful energy—making Him dangerous to approach.
*** BUT Hebrews 4:16 teaches "So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most."
In closing, to the Christian, might I suggest 2 Timothy 3:16 that says, "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right," key word 'ALL.'
And in closing to the world, might I encourage the following for assurance to faith in Christ:
John 3:16 "For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."
John 11:25 "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying."
John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."
Romans 10:9 "If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
PS:
Invest in yourself! Invest in truth!
Consider the purchase of one or all four Holy Spirit led authored books HERE or HERE addressing 'How & why we must connect with Jesus' * 'Man gives us religion - God gives us truth' * 'Lesson to live by' (powerful on grace & gratitude) * and 'Super hero's for Jesus' as a grass roots learning tool - awesome for children as well as new Christians.
I thank you ... and I thank you, Jesus, amen and amen!
