God is a loving God.
God only touches people for good,never evil.
God said that all wars come from man because of the lust of the flesh.
The love that Jesus showed while on this earth is the same love that applies now.Jesus did not come to condemn the world but to save the world.Jeus took verbal and physical abuse and did not retaliate.
The love that Jesus showed while on earth is the same love that applies now.
God is not punishing anybody and God only touches people for good and never evil.
The Bible says that at the last days there will be many blasphemers,like saying God is punishing them,when God is a good God and not an evil God,and God only touches people for good and never evil.
The truth is that in the New Testament,the love that Jesus showed while on this earth is the same love that applies now,all wars come from man,God does not provoke any war between nations,God is not punishing people,God only touches people for good and never evil.
In the Old Testament God would sometimes pass judgment at that time physically while they were on earth.In the New Testament God does not judge like that while people are on earth.
God is not a warmonger because of the wars that Israel was involved in,but God protected Israel,because if God did not protect Israel the other nations would of wiped her out.
God had to protect Israel and put other nations down,because Jesus was to come through the nation of Israel,which is the salvation of the world.
If God did not put down nations,they would of wiped Israel out,and there goes the salvation of the world.
God also had to protect Israel from nations that would pervert her by the chance they might be carried away with idols and false gods,which if they were not in the truth God could not work with them to bring Jesus into the world.
God left nations alone that did not go against Israel or did not try to pervert her by idolatry.
It is not God that is cruel,but it is man that is cruel,that would try to wipe Israel out,or pervert her to turn form the truth,and God had to protect Israel,for they are the salvation of the world.
In the Old Testament God would sometimes judge people while on the earth.
In the New Testament God deos not judge people while on the earth,and God is not punishing anybody while on this earth.
Judgment for the world is postponed until the dead rise and are judged at the end of the millennial reign of Christ.
The 42 she bears went against the 42 children because they mocked the man of God.God judged them right there,but we will all be judged.God does not judge according to that fashion in the New Testament.
Don't say God is punishing you,for God only touches people for good and never evil.
Look at the cruelty of man that went against Israel,against the saints,trying to pervert the truth,trying to establish their own ways on earth.
God had to protect the salvation of the world,and had to put down the falsehood of nations who would pervert the truth,so that we can have eternal life.
It is not God that is cruel,it is man that is cruel,who would try to have their ways permeate the world,and cause people to perish spiritually.
We should be glad that God did step in,in the Old Testament,and put down nations and people that wold hinder people from seeing the truth,although we should never condone war but be against it,and God's will be done.
9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition(Revelation 17:9-11).
These are the 8 world powers on earth until Jesus comes to rule.
The 5 which are fallen are 1.Egypt 2.Assyria. 3.Babylon 4.Medo-Persia 5.Greece.
The 1 that is,is the world power in operation when John received the book of Revelation 6.Roman Empire.
The 1 that is to come and will continue for a short space 7.10 horn kingdom,the world divided into 10 sections with a leader in each section,which will continue a short space,the first 3 and a half years of the tribulation.
The 8th king is the antichrist who will rule for the last 3 and one half years of the tribulation.
The Bible says the 8th king is of the 7 kings,which means that the devil influenced those 7 world powers.
God had to go against them in the Old Testament because the world powers were of the devil that would try to pervert God's ways and establish their ways on earth.
God is not cruel,man is cruel,that would try to take the salvation of God away from people.
In the New Testament,God does not provoke war,and God is not punishing people.
Matt
