This is the fifth and final video in the "God the abuser" series.
God says that our own actions correct us.
Jeremiah 2:19 Lamentations 3:33-37- 37 (Septuagent)- Who has spoken and it has come to pass? The Lord has not commanded. Out of the mouth of the Most High there shall not come forth evil and good."
When events occur that present hardships to us, we must first examine ourselves for the cause. If we can find no cause for the situation in our own actions, then we look to the world system as the cause but NOT God!
We look for the answer in the world system because God has placed the authority over the earth in the hands of man.
Man gave that authority to the wicked one and Jesus retrieved for us.
Here is a recap of where we have applied our study:
* God did not and does not want moral robots, but a creation that loves and choses Him so He had to provide them with a choice.
* There has been a gross misunderstanding of the word "Sovereign" in the body of Christ and beyond so that people have blindly believed that God is in control of everything.
* Adam & Eve- They endured natural consequences because of their choices and God removed them from Eden to protect them from eternal separation and death
* Job- Job's own fear came upon him and the devil was able to destroy much in Job's life but God restored Job to double what he had and was before
* Noah- God did not kill people that were 100% people in the flood but Nephalim- the offspring of Angels and people because they were so corrupt
* There were 2000 years without the law that people proved their hearts were only evil continually
* There were 2000 years of a very strict law system in order to show mankind that not only are they not naturally "good" but that no matter how good they try to be, they cannot be perfect and have got to have a Savior to survive-Jesus
* Consequence and Abuse are two very different and distinct things On a whole, people think God takes away what is dear to them, makes them sick, or even kills them in order to humble them. It is the forcing of dependence based on fear and that is the very definition of abuse. Every wife beater, every mobster, every tyrannical boss or leader employees precisely this tactic. This is NOT the nature of God. Period.
He is a loving God, who wants us to succeed in every way. It is written: 3 John 1:2-"Beloved I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."
Deuteronomy 30:18- "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live."
Isaiah 54:9-10- " For this is like the waters Noah to Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord, who has mercy on you."
John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly"
Proverbs 20:11-"Even child is known by his deeds, whether what he does lisper and right." How much more should God be known by His deeds?
Therefore, any thoughts or philosophies that contradict the goodness of God are from the wicked one because they cause confusion and God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:3)
Finally, abused people who do not allow God to deliver them or who believe that God is their abuser, will snap eventually because humans were created to be loved and to give love. I have my own testimony about this concerning a certain ram!&am
