I tend to write about religion, Christianity, God, and humanity. The same comments repeat, "Why does a
loving God kill babies and women at will, if He is so loving?" God's wrath and
MURDERING angers and confuses people let alone the povert and suffering. People can't reconcile this
MEAN ANGRY God.
This is PERFECTLY understandable. What RATIONAL person would not feel this way about deaths on a MASSIVE scale? I mean Pope Leo is calling for the KILLING to cease because it ISN'T Christlike. The explaination Christians offer seems like HYPOCRISY and whitewashing. I can see that point. But, when you look at the Bible with a NARROW focus, large amount, of deaths, of yes, innocent people, it doesn't make sense as a good religion. Death is not good no matter how you look at it.
But, I'm going for it!! MY explaination of my good God, even though His actions seem extreme, confusing, and totally uncalled for. A moment of grace for me, PLEASE and THANK YOU. No, I'm not trying to convert you nor indoctrinate you. I'm just speaking of MY OWN Christian reconceliation with the same feelings at times. My daughter came to me with the same not being to understand a loving God with wrath. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: In The World of Donald Trump, Don't Be A Judas.
We can begin at the beginning. The Creation story of ORIGINS, which said He, God, created everything and called it good. Man, lost sight of that. Being created and being called GOOD. Isn't that the point of creating humans? God loved what he created and God created humans to WORSHIP Him and be godly, thankful for their own creation and LOVE that came with man's creation. To be kind and look after everything in creation. The animals nor anything God created was harmful to each other. Peace. Love.
Then the Serpent appeared with business of His own with God. The serpent (evil as whomever, angel) had, an agendea and used mankind to launch said agenda. God still gets BLAMED as why did HE create evil etc. Seems like the 'serpent' was something God had not foreseen. a COUP. That makes the Lord's Prayer more relatable, "On earth as it is in Heaven". What was unfolding in heaven had moved to earth. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Why Show Mercy to Immigrants?.
God BELIEVED man would choose what HE offered, GOOD rewarded with eternal peaceful life instead of EVIL and eternal torture. HUMANS CHOOSE EVIL.
The words "repent" and "repentance" (including forms like "repented") appear exactly 106 times in the King James Version of the Bible. This includes 42 times in the Old Testament and 64 times in the New Testament. The Bible does not state a definitive number of prophets, but it indicates that all of God’s prophets were sent with the primary mission of calling the people to repent. The exact number of prophets sent by God varies by religious tradition, but the message of repentance is universal. Across Abrahamic faiths, God sent countless prophets throughout history to warn humanity and urge people to turn back to His ways.

That is NOT a cruel UNJUST wrathful God. If murdering and killing is what He WANTED, why is there an ENTIRE book, the BIBLE, a PLEA to do what is RIGHT, the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule comes from a cruel God lurking looking for a CHANCE to PUNISH, or are there just humans who REJECT LOVE and chooses EVERTHING else, wealth, fame, praise. God said if you RECEIVE this from man on earth, you won't receive it heaven, because MAN means more to you than GOD.
Non-Christians call this SPIN, indoctrination. BUT, this IS the nature of God people ARE missing. The Bible is an "I love You Letter" and I wish you nothing but the best till your days on earth ends as you have chosen to live it, with or without your CREATOR being honored for YOUR creation - existance.
But, my daughter says ,"Why so much poverty, disease, suffering?" I say isn't it the BEST oppotunity to SHOW who loves and worships God? Those suffering lives are to show the HEART of man and suffering people are loved and will be rewarded by God. God holds a profoundly protective, compassionate view of the poor and rejected. Across scripture, He is depicted as their ultimate defender, intimately identifying with their suffering. He promises to be near the brokenhearted, commanding generosity, justice, and active advocacy for those the world casts aside. Smiles, butterflies, and sun, didn't break out. They are NOT abandoned. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: No More Thought and Prayers for Mass Shootings Christians!.

People FREELY tell all about the dispicable murderous God they know. All I know is a God pleading with his CREATION to be and do GOOD. He, after long offers to repent and be forgiven, WARNINGS by the thousands, even a compilation of what He wants for His creation, the Bible, which has been a best sellers for centuries, Man says to God, "I want to do bad and evil".
I think mankind is mean and blind to the reason for their creation. It is for ove and worship of God, which people believe he doesn't deserve. THEY don't believe in anything HIGHER than man who USES what God CREATED to show their own self-reliance. Something or SOMEONE created you out of MATTER you claim just so happen to be LYING around and said, "Let's make things by bumping into each other," and people call the Bible a fairytail.
Man's grandiosity makes him believe random matter gave him his domnance to conquer life and bend it to their SUPERIOR will. How's that working out? My FANTASY and worship of God, says there is something greater THAN me that made me this SUPERIOR, and this is who I choose to honor as creator of EVERYTHING. So, I'll take the JUDGEMENT and RIDICULE.
Yes, there is a lot of DEATH in the Old Testament of the Bible on a massive scale. That killing was for man's cruelty and wickedness. Think how different the Bible would be if people CHOOSE good just because. God so wanted it, that he did away with SACRIFICE, like other religious practices, and made His son Jesus the LAST and ULTIMATE sacrifice to HELP humans in their LOSING battle of good versus evil. Humans could NOT be saved by following rules! God made the NEW COVANENT out of love giving humans what he loved most of all, JESUS. That can't be seen as cruel too?
God offered Jesus, to HELP us in making that CHOICE. Jesus COMMANDED LOVE, something HUMANS fail to do every day. Direct REPENTENCE/FORGIVENESS, not involving man. And leaving the Holy Spirit to help us, even PRAY for us when we no longer have STREGNTH or WORDS. God PROVES His love, HUMANS DON'T, not for GOD, OTHER HUMANS, DIFFERENT HUMAN, or NATURE, EARTH. What PARENT wouldn't be UPSET with their CHILD/CREATION and not correct or discipline them. God is OUR Father. The people find reasons to ESCAPE their CRIMES. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: What Does MAGA Mean To You?.
That's HOW my brain see things, My Creator, my FATHER, wants the best from me at all times. He isn't asking for anything CRIMINAL, just the OPPOSITE. He PROMISES me if I repent and STOP doing wrong, that I and Himself knows and calls EVIL, My life will be much HAPPIER, BLESSED. He has the BEATTITUDES telling me WHAT will make me HAPPY/BLESSED. Will I NOT take a chance to see if His promise is good? People say it is a promise that cannot be kept, why follow it? People who DO good SUFFER like everyone else.

Life is all about CHOICES. To do RIGHT and GOOD even in SUFFERING, is definite proof you are a person striving for good at ALL TIMES, good or bad conditions. Would you want a fair weather friend hanging around you? Plus, that is where LEARNING, GROWTH, MATURITY lives. It's God's never ending promise of "Life be Lifing". Mature Christians, ONCE over the HUMP OF DARK VALLEYS, will tell you with joy, how much they've learned and grown form the hardship experiences. We GROW to know, we needed DARK days to APPRECIATE the good days more. Sometimes you get doses of 'trouble,' preparing you for something you would not have been able to survive without it being issued in small doses at first. Children even go through tough lessons to make it to adulthood. But, those skills are needed for the FUTURE. Teen years are the TOUGHEST, IN MY OPINION.
God is BLAMED for injustice, not the ONE He told you was an adversary of good seeking your demise daily. This concept comes from John 10:10, where Jesus warns: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." No such being can exist, right?. But an all-intelligent version of self can exist. The Devil is REALLY seen as MAKE-BELIEVE but, everyone perfectly fine assigning an also fake being BLAME, for human suffering are all over the place. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Donald Trump's Lies.

Life is about FEEDOM of choice. God did NOT demand the FALLEN ANGEL'S LOYALTY. He KNEW with confidence which side of the battle would be VICTORIOUS. We all are making choices WE believe are good or bad. So, let's not rip each other a new one. We can always share our disagreements without hostility and anger. Please, we all NEED to stop thinking WE know best. Just WALK out your beliefs, always be open (me included) to HEARING truth. Philippians 4:8, New International Version" 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." I can SEE that moreso with God, than man.
I write about Religion, Christianity, God, Jesus, not because I'm RIGHT. It's because MY God offers BEAUTY AND LOVE for my eyes. The more I look at THOSE things, the more I SEE God and EVIL clearly. Much love.
