Godless For No Reason?

 

Are you godless for no reason? Did you grow sour on god because of religious traditions or scripture laws? Are you without a living god in your life because he is supposed to hate to hell certain things you or your friends do? Read on to find God is not the hater to hell of anyone...

Of course, there are those religious zealots that are out to terrify people straight to god if they can with the wrath of God burning like hell. These may even seem to have pitchforks in hand to shovel into hell the godless unbelievers and violators of God's laws. They are sincere in their hatred of godless lives lived in sins against the neighbors no one wants to acknowledge as their own. Like employers, their employees who are given less for wages than they need to live. Or rulers, their subjects who are given less liberty than all harmless known to do by them. 

Yet the question remains yoke of law or grace? Does God want his creation under the yoke of law? Or does he extend grace to all violators of any legal body as wholesomely purgeable in his power for whatever they do? Can god punish without destroying? Can god purge a soul instead of having to destroy it in hell? Is God's grace limited to those who conform to the law? Does God only have room for the obedient in heaven? Is there no room at the inn of God for those taking harmless liberties?

Of course, in God's infinite mercy, there is plenty of room for everyone. He can purge anyone willing to work with him. An eye for eye God Creator can easily extract from any sinner without any permanent damage. God does not have to destroy the unbelievers, the godless, or even those breaking the law. God can bring them all to the knowledge of the error of their ways and purge them as needed. 

God does not have to get unwholesome for justice to be served. Violators can suffer as they cause others to suffer, eye for eye... The grace of God can be extended to one and all so the ending of time is they all lived happily ever after without exception. No one was left behind. Everyone got saved.    

The Missionary Posture

 

This week I will adopt the missionary posture. Missionaries went into the field and worked with savages to try to bring them to the living god. I will in this composition try to take my readers, and all they refer to this blog, to god under far less hazardous circumstances. First I will remind my readers we live inside of the infinite invisible god. This means god is always available to hear our prayers. Finally, god has a family love for us as we are members of his family tree.

The sacred text of the Christian Bible teaches we live inside of god. By contemplating on the godhead I have found god is an infinite mind that creates through visualization universes and scenes for his indulgence. We live inside one of those scenes. We live inside of him, an infinite invisible mind. He is anywhere we are and everywhere we can go. God is always there with us. Never are we truly alone for god is there, along with the gifted to his great godhead. No need to be alarmed. They are one big family from most saintly behaved to misbehaving.

God is always present. He is invisible like oxygen we could not live without, or gravity without which we would float away into space. God is everywhere we are or can ever be. He is always there to hear our supplications and knows what we need as well as what we want. He does answer every prayer even when the answer is no. God even said no to Jesus when Jesus asked his cup of poison to be taken away if god willed it so. Sometimes the cross has to be borne. So pray. Let god know what you would like to happen. Tell him your requests. He might say yes!

God loves us as his own family tree members. God is the source of all, the infinite all container. He perceives everything going on inside of him and knows who is responsible. He can help in times of need or trouble. God was crucified as Christ, of course he can bear what the adversary has in store for those trying to help you. Like an eagle, he will guard you. Like a lion, he will protect you. God has all the strength needed to assist you. Like a loving ancestor, he will always be there for you.  

God is invisible. We live inside of him. He is always there for us as a loving ancestor. Give him a chance to help you. Let him into your life. Do not let the adversary fool you with illusions God does not care or does not exist. Like the air you breathe needs oxygen your spirit needs god in your life irremovable as your own heart. Do not let the adversary steal the living infinite invisible mind that is god from you. He is your ticket to happily ever after and even bears gifts you may receive!
