Dear Random Task:

Random Task said:"Please explain to me how the God described in the bible has qualities akin to some of the worst human rulers of history and yet you yearn for Him to rule over you"

Yes, indeed I DO YEARN for JEHOVAH GOD to rule over me - eternally, I will pray to Him to to RULE Over me!

Whether YOU like it or NOT Random Task, GOD RULES over you! He His the Sovereign Lord of the Universe, Statute -Giver to His Creation. As an Outmost Respect for Him, YOU must Worship Him to gain godly- life, and by doing so you become a child of God! Our Heavenly Father, knows Good and Bad. He His Superlative in Goodness and He is Superlative in Wisdom. God knows us better than we know ourselves! We owe our life to Him!

God's vengeance towards the ungodly ones brings great benefits to His Godly children. Jehovah God is a Just Ruler, Retributer of Godly Justice: As I said before, the reason for God to take Vengence against the Ungodly- ones ,is for the purpose of having God's Name Vindicated, His Name Glorified! - God is HOLY!. When God finally executes is Adverse Judgement, mankind will be free from wickedness and ungodly people - and God's Sovereignty wil be DECLARED. And God's children will experience life without wickedness and ungodliness on earth and in Heaven..

PSALMS 58:19:" The righteous one will rejoice because he has beheld the vengence. His steps he will bathe in the blood of the wicked one."

PSALMS 58:20:" And mankind will say: " Surely there is fruitage for the righteous one. Surely there exists a God that is judging in the earth."NWT

James Thomas said:"A person who is loving, sensitive and kind, will find it impossible to direct true and honest devotion and acceptance to that which threatens them with death if they do not love them. Do you know why AAF? Because threatening a person with death if they do not love you is -- criminally insane. Thomas: warning people of God's Laws is acceptable to God:

Isaiah 46: 9, 10, 11:(9):" Remember the first things of a long time ago, that I am the Divine One and there is no other God, nor anyone like me.(10):"the One telling from the beginning the finale, and from long ago the things that have not been done; the One saying:"My own counsel will stand, and everything that is my delight I shall do".(11):" the One calling from the sunrising a bird prey, from a distant land the man to execute my counsel. I have even spoken [it]: I shall also bring it in. I have formed [it], I shall also do it."

1 JOHN 5:1:" Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born from God.

EZEKIEL 3: 16:" And it came about at the end of seven days that the word of Jehovah proceeded to occur to me , saying:

EZEKIEL 3:17:" Son of man, a watchman is what I have made you to the house of Israel; and you must hear from my mouth speech and you must warn them from me.

EZEKIEL 3:18:" When I say to someone wicked:" YOU will positively die, and you do not actually warn him and speak in order to warn the wicked one from his wicked way to preserve him alive, he been wicked, in his error he will die, but his blood I shall ask back from your own hand."

EZEKIEL 3:19:" But as for you, in case you have warned someone wicked and he does not turn back from his wickedness and from his wicked way, you will have delivered your own soul."

EZEKIEL 3:20:" And when someone righteous turns back from his righteousness and actually does injustice and I must put a stumbling block before him,, he himself will die because you did not warn him. For his sin he will die, and his righteous acts that he did will not be remembered, but his blood I shall ask back from your own hand."

EZEKIEL 3:21:" And as for you, in case you. you have warned someone righteous that the righteous one should not sin, and he himself does not actually sin, he will without fail keep on living because he had been warned, and you yourself will have delivered your own soul." NWT

Return to GOD, and He will forgive you in a large way!

(((((Dear Stacy Smith,)))))

As a Christian, I sincerely believe/embrace that if I/we remain faithtful to God, He will not destroy me/us because God has deep affection for all whom He considers His own Children. God does NOT destroy His children - He reproves them lovingly,instead. If I was to choose the path of Independence from Him and ignore His Laws, then God would consider me and my family His adversaries. The price of adversity from God is everlasting death.

What path do you prefer, Tracy? God's Path of Righteousness that will stand forever, or the Path of Independence from God that will lead you to everlasting death?

REVELATION: 3:19" All those for whom I have affection I reprove and discipline. Therefore be zelous and repent."NWT

MATTHEW 10:27:"What I tell you in the darkness; and what YOU hear in the light; and what YOU hear whispered, preach from the housetops.

MATTHEW 10:28:" And do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both soul and body in Ge-hen'na."

MATTHEW 10:29:" Do not two sparrows sell for coin of small value? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without YOUR [Father's knowledge].

MATTHEW 10:30:" But the very hairs of YOUR head are all numbered.

MATTHEW 10:31: Therefore have no fear: YOU are worth more than many sparrows."

MATTHEW 10:32:" Everyone, then that confesses union with me before men, I will also confess union before my Father who is in the heavens;

MATTHEW 10:33:"But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my heavenly Father who is in the heavens.

MATTHEW 10:34:" Do not think I came to put peace upon the earth; I came to put, not peace, but a sword."

MATTHEW 10:37:" He that has greater affection for father or mother than for me is not worthy of me; and he that has greater affection for son or daughter than for me is not worthy of me.

MATTHEW 10:38:"And whoever does not accept his torture stake and follow me.

MATTHEW10:39:" He that finds his soul will lose it, and he that loses his soul; for my sake will find it."

PSALMS 104:30:" If you send forth your spirit, they are created."

PSALMS 37:23:" By Jehovah the very steps of an able-bodied man have been made ready, And in his way He takes delight."

PSALMS:" Although he may fall, he will not be hurled down, For Jehovah is supporting his hand."

PSALMS 37:29:" The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it."

PSALMS 37:34:" Hope in Jehovah and keep his way, And he will exalt you to take possession of the earth. When the wicked ones are cut off, you will see [it]."

PSALMS 25:8" Good and upright is Jehovah. That is why he instructs sinners in the way."

PSALMS 150:1" Every breathing thing - let it praise Jah. Praise Jah, YOU people!"

(((((((Dear Stacy Smith))))):

You said:"So God would never kill your children. Right? Never. You don't know that AAF. He might smite them dead right in front of your eyes. Would you still love him? Can you answer that directly or is it more comfortable to be vague?"

God does NOT DESTROY His Holy Ones !

2 Corinthians 7:1:" Therefore, since we have these promises beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God's fear."

JEHOVAH

by minimus in

we all know that we do not know the correct pronunciation of the name of god.

over 6000 times, the tetragrammaton is mentioned in the ot.

yet for some reason, most bibles do not use the name jehovah or yahweh but a few times.

Dear Mulan,

In my usual argumentative style when I was a teenager, I retorted with "to me it's only a disrespectful child who calls his father by his first name". She was speechless.

I agree that calling God by His first Name Only is very disrespectful, (in the org. they did it all the time - and it made me very sad! - but calling God's name with His title (GOD) is appropriate and acceptable to God.

Christian Love,

((((Dear Thomas James)))) You are so right, AAF. However, I created nothing; simply observed what is here already. Perceptionally speaking, I thought you had "created" a God in your own imagination ! I have three children. There is an innate and stable love for them that dwells within my heart. This love is not dependent on anything they say or do. It is not an earned love that came second; it was here first. It is a love that is not even affected by me. No matter how angry or upset I may be with them, if I just stop and look within, the love is there, untouched and untainted. They are loved no matter. As Christians, we are to love our children unconditionally. However, as Christian parents, we also have God's authority to conform to: Instilling /instructing our children to be Godly and Holy: It is a Christian obligation that we all have to comply to - If our children were to become unresponsive to God's Word and become ignorant of applying such Christian priciples, God wouldn't consider them unclean - in God's Eyes, they are still holy! 1 Corinthians 7:14:" For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to his [wife] , and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise YOUR children would be really unclean, but now they are holy." Does it not seem obvious AAF, that if there is a God, the Source of this marvelous universe, It must be infinitely more than our ideas and beliefs about It, and never less? Infinitely unserchable He His . If I, a mere human find unconditional love within myself (which I am discovering is not limited to just my children), then what of God's love? God's Love is complete and Holy. Your unconditional love towards your children and to your fellowman is incomplete love. When God's Holy Spirit dwells in you, you become the creature that God created : 1 Peter 1:16:"Because it is written " YOU must be holy, because I am holy."NWT Am I, dear AAF, somehow greater than your religions' God? PSALMS 139:1:" O Jehovah, you have searched through me, and you know [me]."NWT PSALMS:" 139:14:" I shall loud YOU because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. YOUR works are wonderful, As my soul is very well aware."NWT PSALMS 139:"16:" YOUR eyes saw even the embryo of me, And in your book all its parts were down in writting, As regards the days when they were formed And there was not yet one among them."NWT Or is it far more likely that the True-God is infinitely more, and it is only our human concepts/beliefs about God that are limited and conditional? I realize it is far easier to get ones mind around a god that is created in the image and likeness of a lowly man. A god whose love and acceptance is limited and conditional. A god, who judges and condemns, and who is more than willing to kill his own ignorant children. However, if we just take some time and focus on the love within our very own heart, we may find that the only limits and boundaries to God, the only distance between our Source and ourselves -- are fabrications of the mind. 1 Thessalonians 4:8: " So then the man that shows disregard is disregarding, not man, but God." It seems we are free to believe in as tiny and limited a god we want. Few seem to question the beliefs of god they were raised with. Few seem to look farther than human-like images and beliefs. But, there is nothing to stop you AAF or anyone, from investigating and looking deeper into the center of the love you have; past the minds commentary, interpretations, beliefs, images and judgments, deep into the vibrant aliveness of it and see -- is God less, or more? j ROMANS:11:33:" O the depth of God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unserchable his judgements [are] and past tracing out his ways [are] ! ROMANS 11:34:" For "who has come to know Jehovah's mind, or who has become his conselor?" ROMANS 11:35:" Or, " who has first given to him, so that it must be repaid to him?" ROMANS 11:36:" Because from him and by him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen." ((((((Thomas)))))), I have expressed some of my Christian beliefs/viewpoints here as an act of love to all, incluiding yourself. I would like to inform you that I respect you for what you believe in, spiritually speaking. I apologize if I offended you in any way with any observations/comments I made towards you. God gave us all freewill. It's up to us all to decide how to exercise it : Relatively or self- determiningly. Christian Love, AAF

Dear ThomasJames, Thank you again for your what seem to be very honest and open replies that have explained for me where you are coming from. You are welcome! You express yourself in a very kind and gentle manner and your love and admiration for your god is so complete that perhaps he could kill every man women and child on earth, and you would continue to love and adore Him; one reason being: Jehovah God is Supreme in Holiness. Rightly, He expects us to be holy. He tells us in the Bible :" I am Holy, you have to be holy" ! Corinthians 3:16:" Do YOU not know that YOU people are God's temple, and that the spirit of God dwells in YOU?" 1 Corinthians 3:17:" If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] YOU people are." DANIEL 7:7:" But the holy ones of the Supreme One will receive the kingdom and they will take possession of the Kingdom for time indefinite, even for time indefinite." A God that accepts everyone without conditions is NOT a Holy God! Refusing to love Jehovah God, Creator of all existing life, Creator of this marvelous universe is rejecting Him and His Holy Son Jesus Christ. God being Almighty in superlative power and in Holiness, righteously chooses creatures that give Him All the Glory , and these ones are God's children. And we, as Christians have Great Reverence and Outmost Respect for Our Holy Precious Loving God Jehovah. Your "love" is indeed something special, and you certainly deserve a reward of some kind. Matthew: 22:36:" Teacher, which is the greatest commandement in the Law?" Matthew 22:37:" He said to Him: 'YOU must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind." Perhaps your god will give you a heart and a soul -- but then, you wouldn't be like him. As a Christian, I strive to follow God's Laws and Principles and by doing so I consider myself a child of God. It breaks my heart that religion has so bastardized God/Love/Righteousness that it is indistinguishable from evil, and hypnotizes otherwise kind people into blindly loving what is blatantly bad. Thomas, you have created a God of your own design. You perception of a "God" is a God who will Love YOU if YOU don't LOVE HIM! I do not mean to insult you as a person AAF. If you were here in front of me right now I would want to just hug you and cry. (((Thomas)))), please don't cry for me: I have a God who saves and who loves me - be HAPPY for me! I cried for you when I read the above because You don't have a God and no Savior. You are in my prayers. I just wish you were awake enough and free enough to see what your beliefs have done to you. My Christian beliefs have awakened me and freed me from a world without Jehovah God. Christian Love, AAF

Dear James Thomas: After all is said and done AAF, are you saying, in effect, that your God could kill the majority of all men, women and children on earth, and you would continue unfailingly in your love and admiration of Him and His "righteousness"? You would continue to rejoice at the mention of His name? You would sleep well at night? Thomas, God does not take it lightly nor any of His children do when God finds it necessary to execute judgement upon those meriting destruction in order to uphold His Name and His standards for rightheousness. 2 Peter 3:9:" Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain repentance." Do you equate perfect love and righteousness with your Gods actions? Yes. Godly perfect - love is guided by the principle of righteousness! I remind myself all the time that Jesus Christ died for all of us ; I highly esteem God's Sovereignty and, I do NOT want to be independent or ignorant of His laws! God possesses Superlative Wisdom, and it would be deadly if I was to choose the path of Independence. Christian Love, AAF Edited to enlarge font.
