Hopeful Path

Because God has given us a limited amount of time to exercise freewill. How have we used our freewill? We each have lived life our own way, not God’s Way. If we are all honest, the world is not getting “better,” rather people and the world have been experiencing a slow decline. As individuals and nations, we continue to ‘harm’ others (slander, gossip, rape, fight, war, genocide,torture, deny rights, etc) and continue to pollute the world. The slow spiral down continues, apparently unabated, without real consequence that changes humanity toward perfection and restores the world anew.

In California, we are deciding if, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” You are being stupid, there is no other word, to think that marriage is right between same sexes. If there are no moral absolutes and everyone’s right is right, then you might contend for such an abomination of natural function and family life-style perversion. Do we care about the environment our children grow up in? We all realize freewill is not without responsibility and accountability.

Since the beginning, all societies established laws to punish those who choose to defy acceptable behavior. If we, as limited beings, all acknowledge and enforce consequences for wrong doing; how much more will God, a perfect and righteous judge, punish us for wrong doing? Because God does not force His presence and will upon us immediately, one may incorrectly conclude that God does not care about wrong doing or is disinterested in us. God hates wrong-doing and has emphatically told us that the punishment for any wrong-doing is eternal separation from Him in hell. Sound ludicrous?

We have always and continue to demand death for some wrong doing. We may think that death for any wrong-doing is extreme, however punishment is determined by the authority with the right and capability to enforce and to carry out the pronounced judgment. We think it is extreme because we are biased and only view right and wrong from our perspective not God’s perspective. God has made it clear: death for any wrong doing no matter how “minor.”
