So you do not believe in God

So, my friend, you do not believe in God. What dimension of God do you not believe in? The Lord Jesus the Messiah: for whom the whole of Creation was made, and by whom it was made: the Cosmos and time, the complexity of the miniaturised city-like complex of the human living cell, the beauty and variety of plants, birds, and animals, the reliability of biblical history, revelation and prophecy (soon to be wrapped-up). Who died a cruel death to win our acquittal, if we will accept it through faith. Just be sure who you are rejecting, and its possible everlasting consequences. Are you really certain about this?

The World and the Cosmos today is cursed by a just God, as a punishment for human sin – so originally it was even more wonderful. Prophecy tells us that all will be destroyed following a terrible time of judgment. But human beings are eternal, and cannot totally die.

Acts of the Apoistles chapter 2 verse 21 

"And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

JESUS'S MESSAGE FOR ALL, OF AUTHENTICITY, LIFE AND FORGIVENESS, VIA PETER HIS APOSTLE

Jesus's Message for all, of authenticity, life and forgiveness, via Peter the Apostle. God prepared a Roman Centurion to send for Peter by the visit of an angel. Peter was guided by a vision, and the Holy Spirit, to go to the Centurion

^{New Testament of the Bible, Acts of the Apostles 10:34-48} Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favouritism, but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. You know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached — how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

“We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a tree, but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen — by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

⁴⁴ While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The ... believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.

Then Peter said, “Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” ⁴⁸ So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

Titus 3:1-2 Remind the people ... to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate/courteous, and to show true humility toward all men. (NIV/ESV)

WHY DO JEWS SUFFER?

 

TWO OBVIOUS RESONS WHY JEWISH PEOPLE SUFFER

Sometimes Jewish folk are heard to ruminate on their wish that the Lord had chosen someone else. God always appears to be punishing them. This has not only been true in recent centuries, but throughout the Scriptures.

1. Satan hates GOD'S work and HIS people - so the Devil causes them as much trouble as GOD allows. This shows which side antagonists of the Jews are on!

2. God is punishing His People! Here is a short list: the result of worshipping of the Golden Calf at Sinai, following Achan's sin at Jericho, the rebellion of Korah, Datham, Abiram, plus 250 others, against Moses, murmuring against GOD, the Nation under King Saul, the Exile of Israel and Judah, and the occupation by various Empires (Assyrian, Babylonian, Mede-Persian, Greek, etc). There was the colossal destruction of Jerusalem with its Temple, and the 2,000 year dispersion of the Jews to many parts of the world – in AD 70, by the troops under General, later Emperor, Titus. Always there was a judgment connected with moral and spiritual failure. One must wonder what was the cause in AD 70? Then the Pogroms, the Holocaust, and the vicious massacre of October 7^th 2023.
