I was reading a comment beside one of the Christian Rapture video¬s on youtube the other day. It was from a woman who was very bitter and angry at God. Saying, if He is so great why didn`t He start again when it all went wrong in the Garden of Eden. Why wasn`t the devil destroyed when God threw him out of Heaven?
I believe that the answer is free will. I am not God, so I do not profess to know all the answers, though I do believe that God will answer any question we ask Him, providing we are confessing our sins and trying to obey Him.
God wanted us to love and obey Him because WE wanted to , not because HE wanted to.This was the reason the devil was kept alive, so that we could choose which way we wanted to live. To believe the devil`s lies and go his way which leads to sin and death or go God`s way and know God`s love and protection which leads to Everlasting Life.
When Jesus came down from Heaven He would grow up to be that perfect man that God wanted to have fellowship and share His creation with. Jesus, though He was God was also wholly man. The devil tempted Him constantly, but Jesus chose NOT to succumb to temptation and did NOT sin. He kept His eyes firmly on His Father in Heaven and did the Father`s will and not His own. Even in the hour before He was arrested, Jesus sweated blood, begging His Father to take this burden that He had to bear from Him, but He still went ahead and done what His Father wanted, because He knew it was the only way that man could be saved from from His Fathers righteous judgment.
Even though His disciples must have seen hundreds of miracles that Jesus did, they still couldn`t understand who He was till after His resurrection. When Jesus was asleep on the boat and a storm came, they woke Him up and said they were afraid they were going to die because the storm was getting worse and the boat would capsize.The scriptures had to be fulfilled, everything prophesied in the Old Testament had to come to pass. So Jesus told them to have some faith, that God would not let them die as He was with them. They still didn`t know who Jesus was even though He told them many times and they saw what He could do.and the fate that awaited Him that was foretold in the scriptures.
So I believe it was because God gave us free will, that same free will that God gave the angels, even these heavenly creatures disobeyed God, and a third of them were thrown down to earth. I believe this was when the earth was dull and void, not after God made it perfect. The devil was already on the earth before man was created, so were the fallen angels, millions of them a third of the angels in Heaven.
God has finished His perfect plan for the salvation of man, all we are doing now is living out the last days, the devil is defeated, he just doesn`t know it yet. God has provided a way for man to live with Him and be with Him for ever. He has also told us the consequences for not accepting that way, many shall go to Eternal Damnation for believing the devil`s lies and going his way, I just pray that you will read the rest of my posts and see the TRUTH of the Bible, and that you will ask God to forgive your sins, and believe in your heart that Jesus died to save you from judgment, that He took your sin upon Himself and paid the price for you, then was raised from the grave and now sit`s at the right hand of God the Father in Heaven.For the price of sin is death, spiritual death as well as physical death.
Please believe His way is best and be saved, for God loves you beyond measure. He doesn`t want you to go to Eternal Damnation where there is darkness, torment and gnashing of teeth, but worst of all ....no love.
Let your eyes be open to see Jesus, for He is the Word of God. Every word that is written in the Bible is His, for Through Him every thing was created by Him every thing came into being, what Jesus saw from the Father He did. The dead were raised, the blind could see,the deaf could hear and the lame could walk,Even nature obeyed Him. He is the first and last, every word of the bible is inspired by Jesus, from "In the beginning" to "Amen" He is the Living Word the only name by which you can be saved, for He is God alone, and all the Glory is His .....Amen
If you do not have a Bible, there is an on line one for you here......http://www.keyway.ca/bibles/kjvindex.htm
