Grace unto you, and
peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ In dramatic fashion, on the American TV sitcom West Wing, a lady school bus driver who lost four of her bus children to a merciless tornado asks the President of the United States (POTUS) visiting the disaster area: "what sort of God would do such"? Unfortunately the question is followed by silence, silent dishwashing, by the most powerful man in the world. And on Bishop Spong's internet Q & A email leader (perhaps a leader leading to destruction), to get people to pay for his essays, Adrian from Minneapolis asks: "If God is all loving why do we have disasters like earthquakes, famine, and war?". Sadly his answer is also: "Your question has been asked by religious people in every generation of human history and no one has answered it satisfactorily yet"... bla bla. It has been answered: Grace is sufficient. Our Father, deliver us from "evil": Matthew 6:13 We are delivered from the "law": Romans 7:6 I differ with both West Wing script writers and Bishop Spong. More Excellent: is neither broadmindead nor narrowmindead. For I think The Apostle Paul, as "his witness to all men" in the Holy Bible (Authorized KJV), answers the question of all generations satisfactorily in Romans 4:15: "law worketh wrath"; And contrary to what many say: such disasters are an "act of God", I say it is those who ignorantly add "law worketh wrath" to "my grace is sufficient" (no law required) who bring destruction upon themselves. For when they say: Peace & Safety in law, then the no escape sort of sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman (allegorical for church) with child (allegorical for church being childish: 1Cor 13:11; "more" the "child" of "hell": Matthew 23:15), and they shall not escape:1Thessalonians 5:3. Us scenario is in verse 5:9. Given that it's been "AD" for over 2,000 years now, and it's even now beyond 2,000 AD, perhaps the biblical "third day" (which is also the seventh day in John 1 & 2 when counting), it's high time we all realized and acknowledged that God is "merciful", whereas law is merciless. For all who died under Moses' law (Jn 1:17) died "without mercy" (Heb 10:28). There is no mercy in pure law, nor any forgiveness in blasphemy the Ghost is unpardonable. And a mixture of grace + law (the only plausible mixture since grace "is" and law "added") is not only an oxymoron, but a "perversion" (Gal 1) of both grace and law which ends badly for all. For the good + evil mixture of grace + law is as life + death, a dead end. Converted Peter also states "the God of all grace" (no law at all) makes "you" perfect after "ye" (do err) suffer awhile, allegorically denoting plural ye: grace + law, adding "law worketh wrath" to "grace is sufficient" (no law req'd), is the root cause of all suffering (1Pet 5:10). The point being made is "that God" is all that of this/that compared. In the same manner as "that God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all", the "God of all grace" is all grace and no law at all; God is love is no fear at all; Also "merciful" is all mercy and no sacrifice at all, per God's will: "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice" (Hos 6:6; Mt 9:13). So disasters many call an act of God are not an act of God, but rather return to sender of praying amiss. For when looking beyond the law part of law/grace of Moses/JC for them/us in 1Thessalonians 5:3, we find the second part of such a before/after Twain Shew is: God hath "not" appointed "us" to wrath. And the second part of such child/man is also the "man" kind of twain blesseds. The "man" kind of blessed in Rom 4:8 speaks of no sin imputed, which is "no law" (Romans 4:15). No law = no wrath, if law worketh wrath. Hell-o! or am I speaking into a vacuum? Hence the second coming of first/last Adams, is also the second part of Jesus/Christ, which is Christ: "the end of the law"; that of this/that. To wit, "that" God was in "Christ" reconciling the world (not some only) unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them (2Cor 5:19). For where no law, there no transgression: Rom 4:15b; when no law, no sin imputed: Rom 5:13b. And no law, being no sin imputed, is the "man" kind of child/man blessed. Indeed God blessed them in Gen 1; but the second blessed in Gen 2 is obviously the better one of twain, for by such God ended blessed and sanctified, then rested (as if resting his case). Plainly then, Law worketh wrath, not God. There is no discomfort in "the God of all comfort". Plainly then, law (wrath) is not for "us": 1Thessalonians 5:9. God hath neither appointed us to wrath (law), nor given us the spirit of fear (hath torment). There is no torment (law) in "the God of all grace". Law was only the first part of law/grace, only for them of them/us, "them" being defined as first "Adam" in Gen 5, such twain being "one flesh" (1Cor 6:16; Eph 5:31) of flesh/spirit; whereas Christ and the church are "one spirit" (1Cor 6:17; 12:13; Eph 2:18; 4:4; Phil 1:27). And fear was only the "beginning" part of begin/end of wisdom, love void of fear being the end, which is grace void of law. Grace has no begin (of days) nor end (of life); rather grace simply "is" eternal. Only law has begin/end, only what begin can end, only what was added can be taken away. He taketh away the first (part) that he may establish the second (part). The Lord (now "that Spirit" of this/that spirits: 1Jn4) is l-o-n-g-suffering to us-ward, so none perish. Us-ward speaks of all us and no them at all, and of all "man" kind and be no more children. That, of all this/that, is what both Paul and converted Peter say we should account as "salvation", the "safe" and "eternal" sort. For Jude 5 reminds us (as a Remembrance) saved + destroyed was a bad ending for all them. God said let "us" make "man". Why? Them were not only a "child", and of "hell", but when they compass land and sea to make one (God is one) proselyte, it makes one "more the the child of hell" than hypocrites, fools, vipers, and blind guides who sit in Moses' seat (Mt 23). Allegorically a "child" is someone who imputes sin for the "hell" of it; unaware it makes all sinners, none righteous, no, not one (God is one). If law the strength of sin, and the sting of death is sin, then giving place to law gives strength to sin, witch is evidently deadly. Contrary to popular unbelief JC neither obeyed nor disobeyed law, rather gave it no place other than a counter part in a shew, the child part of child/man, to be done away to establish man kind. And contrary to what many they sayers say, Revelation doesn't end badly for anyone. Rather it ends with a "you all" which begins with "you" and applies to "all" the KofG within "you".
