1.) The Creation of God - I see God's love in His creation, the same kind of love that any good and kind hearted father would love their newborn child. For any fathers here, do you remember the feelings as you watched your newborn child being brought into this world? I'm sure that God's feelings isn't any different from yours.
>>>That makes sense. If I feel love for my children then since god is my father he must be loving. I wonder who created all the children in africa who die before 5 and all the children of the egyptians. Maybe Satan created them, I dont know for sure and the bible doenst say it but if God is love the Satan is Hate therefore Gods creation is from love and Satan creation is from hate.
2.) God's Mercy - For those that dwells on the negativity of God, many are forgetting that not only God is full of justice, He's also full of mercy....
>>YEs God is merciful. I mean I know sometimes if you read the bible he sounds like he is not merciful and that he is unjust like killing 75000 israelites because David did the census. I know it sounds bad but I mean common be positive. look at the positive side. He stopped them from becoming pagans so then he would have to destroy them anyway. God is merciful....Allah is also merciful.
A.) God delivered the Israelites from 400 years of bondage in Egypt.
>> I know I know only 2 survided at the end and the rest died in the desert but hey it was their fault. God did his part. Dont blame God.
B.) When God sent Jonah to send a warning message to the city of Nineveh to prophesy and warn the people to turn away from their wicked ways or face punishment. When Jonah ran, if God was such a mean God, He could have just struck him dead instead of allowing him to run and run into all sorts of troubles. Yet at the end, he was spared of his life and Jonah saw that God exercised mercy for his disobedience rather have him killed outright. Then when he arrived at the city of Ninevah and warned the people, the people then repented. God gave mercy to the people and spared the city.
>>> Yeah can you imagine? If God had killed Jonah then he would have to have killed the people of Nineveh I mean I know its sound ridiculous that he couldnt warn those wicked people in other way but hey back then there werent that many volunteers...wait I guess Jonah wasnt that willing but hey be positive. Besides you must ignore the fact that for every wicked people the solution is destroy them. I mean he is god
C.) When Abram (before he became Abraham) spoke with God regarding the city of sodom and gomorrah, Abram asked the same question several times regarding what if there were so and so many good people in the cities. Every one of God's answer was that if there were (even one) good person inside the city, he would spare it. This shows God does indeed have mercy in His heart. God also spared Lot and his family, with the exception of his wife, who looked back, disregarding God's warning not to.
>>> See Gods is reasonable. I mean he didnt think of that before so thanks to Abraham's wit he changed his mind. Thank you Abraham. wait I guess it didnt matter because he destroy those cities anyway. But hey God was Merciful because he protected his angels (who are sexless) from being raped by using Lots daughters. I mean what is a girl in the bible anyway. besides those girls liked sex anyway. They even did their own father. I think I saw a movie about the same topic the other day., It was hot.
Let's look at it this way, if you told your child not to cross the street by himself, yet he went and did it anyway, almost getting himself killed by an incoming vehicle. You as a parent would not only be scared nearly to death, but you'd also be angry that he disobeyed you. If you wanted to, you could have killed him for disobeying you. That'd be pretty mean, now wouldn't it? No, a true loving parent always run to their child to see if the child is alright, but also scold and punish the child with tempered mercy for disobeying you.
>>>yeah lets scold the child and punish him for almost getting killed. lets give him a deeper trauma. They deserve it, they scare me. Freaking dissobedient children... wait I gotta go talk to my children (they are playin on the street. I better go give em a whipping beforfe they get killed or somthing)
3.) God spared the lives of Adam and Eve - God could have easily killed both of them and started over if He wanted to, but no, He choose mercy by sparing their lives and expelled them from the Garden into some harsh lands whereas they have to fend for themselves in order to survive.
>>Yeah I know he said the day they ate they will die. but he didnt really meant it, they survived 900 years more. I mean That was just a warning. Beside it was like a day for God anyway. And dont talk about their descendants who inherited the sin... That doesn count. Thats not fair. We are all humans and therefore sinful so we cant judge God.
4.) God spared Abraham's son - If God was such a mean God, He could have easily ordered the sacrifice of human beings rather than animals. No, the example that God showed Abraham mercy to spare his son from being sacrificed on the alter and provided him a goat instead in the alter's place.
>>Yeah, That story was not to prove Abrahams faith. God was bluffing and he never really mean it. Of course Abraham knew it cuz he knew God is merciful. But he just went along with Gods bluff , he know sometimes Gods just dont think that well (remember Sodom and Gomorrah)?
>>
5.) Joseph gave Mary mercy by attempting to send her away instead of turning her in to the Pharasees whom could have her stoned to death for what they could have believed that she commited fornication and falsely represented herself as a virgin at the time of their marriage. This is why God choose the right time, Mary, the decendent of David to betroth Joseph as her husband because He foreknew Jospeh's merciful heart. The timing was just perfect.
>>>yeah. ITs all about timing. timing and location location location. God so freaking smart. I love you God.!!!
6.) Jesus gave mercy by raising the dead, healed the sick, fed the multitudes. God also showed mercy by offering His Son as a sacrifical Lamb for our sins, taking the punishment in OUR PLACE so we don't have to.
>>What about wine? he gave them wine too, see? What a good frienyd! the person who comes to a party and sees that there is no more wine but only water and then he brings the wine is the hero of the party. Jesus feed the poor who were following him 2 times. 2 times. I mean the people where poor. And I know those dead people came back to live and then died again. but hey dont blame God blame Adam is all his fault. oh the Killing Jesus for us is the best proof of love. Really think about it. There was no other way to redeem humanity. ZERO. NADA. the only way to forgive our sins (which some of us havent even commited) was to kill his own son as sacrifice....) oops lets just ignore the fact that God needs blood sacrifices like Satanic rituals please.. we have to focus on the positive.
Scripture does show that God makes mercy & grace to be first and justice last. The bible is full of those examples and it dwarfs the examples of God's justice.
>> Yeah justice second first love. So in a situation where justice is necessary lets put love first and forget about justice. Gods justice is not important as love. Love is., What is justice anyway. Lets just love each other guys.,.. group hug!!!
So this leaves the question, which side of God do you prefer to be on? The side of God's justice or the side of God's love, forgiveness, mercy & grace who offered up His only begotten Son as an atonement for our sins?
>>its up to you readers....do you wanna be on Gods good side? or the bad one? I mean look at the bad one. God is love! God is love and Allah is merciful. He killed his own son for us. GET IT GET IT GET IT! stop being so disrespectful and get in line... are you ready for grace?
