Many people look around at the horrible state our world is in and just shake their heads. Politics are in chaos once again, I left the US because of the Vietnam War. I left society to live off the grid in the beauty of the wilderness of BC, Canada. (see my Spirit Quest novel series on Amazon) People said then and they still say today, “If God made the world and this is it, why would I want to follow a God like that?”
Andy follows my blog and asked me some hard questions earlier. He too stated his convictions quite clearly. “The biblical God is incredibly inhumane…sentient beings were placed in tremendous suffering. Why would I want to follow a God like that?”
The answer to that question lies in another question!
Why does the modern world believe that God is to blame for all the suffering and evil we see in our world? Why don’t we talk about a source of EVIL?- Think of it. Every good story has a hero and the antagonist in the plot! You know, the contest between good and evil. It’s the same in the epic story of humanity on our planet. And in our story, clearly the antagonist is Satan, he’s the Darth Vader! And if that is true, then we don’t need to blame God!
- Have you ever asked what Jesus is supposed to have saved us FROM? I mean, if God is ruling our world right now, why do we need a saviour? Who do we need to be saved from? Yet, the story says a price was paid and a ransom was met.
Did you know there’s over 80 references in the Bible that speak of Satan’s existence? One verse tells us he’s the god of this age: This invisible sinister character behind the scenes plays a huge part! Jesus paid the ransom with his physical life to free us from this oppression on our planet.
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. NIVBible 2 Corinthians 4:4
”This insidious entity sublimely intervenes in our world even to the extent of ruling our airwaves – think of mass media and what’s projected into our living rooms and smart phones today. That doesn’t surprise me when I read this verse:
“…the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.” Ephesians 2:1-3
Andy alsop asked, "how can we justify a God who placed us in a world of tremendous suffering and allows such evil atrocities to happen?"
- But God placed us in paradise! The theme in the creation story in the Garden of Eden is about Adam and Eve not choosing God’s way but deciding to choose for themselves what was right and what was wrong. Well, “We can’t be blamed for our first ancestor’s choices,” you say. But aren’t we still doing that? Deciding for ourself what’s right and what’s wrong? Where’s our accountability? On a personal level and on a grand global scale, humanity has created this mess by our choices.
- Seduced by our desire for god-like power; our GREED, our perceived need for power, influence, and money corrupts every form of government and every nation. No surprise then that we have chaos, and every form of tragedy occurring in our world. So let’s look at the bigger picture.
Our human race doesn’t live under the government of god yet! THAT IS A HUGE DECEPTION….
The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. Revelation 12:9
We are deceived by an invisible sourse of evil wanting to wipe humanity off the planet. Yet God has been proposing an alliance between humanity and a celestial kingdom in heaven ever since we were created. The Celestial Proposal, the grand blueprint was all laid out in the original design.
Like small children, he gave us laws in the old testament. Like teenagers, he gives us choice in the New Testament. Now as adults, we’re to be led by Spirit and write the laws of his kingdom in our hearts.
By accepting the terms of this proposed alliance, human-kind can take back ownership of our world from Satan and establish a paradise on planet Earth.
God is waiting for the human race to spiritually mature and become worthy of eternal citizenship! We have to align ourselves with the basic governing statues of God, loving his ways, loving others as ourselves. How did Jesus teach us to pray? “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.”
And we sure haven’t built that paradise yet.
We need people of integrity desperately! Are you one of them?
