He will also allow people to go to hell who reject Jesus as being God the Son, the promised Messiah, and surrendering to Him as their Savior and Lord.. The choice is ours. God is holy and righteous in all He does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the beginning, God saw -- and it was good. Gen 1:31 And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Now trying to twart God's plans and purposes, was the great deceiver -- and from the beginning was trying to get mankind to disobey God -- and it continues even until now. As the serpent deceived Eve -- and continues now -- with the same phraseology -- Has God really said? Did Jesus really say that He is the "way, the truth and the life; and no man comes by me"? Is the Bible true? You see, even from the beginning until now -- is the same question from the beginning - did God really say? And we see the end result of rejection of what God gives us -- Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death. Rev 20:15 And if anyone was not found having been written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the Lake of Fire. So you see that the vast multitudes of the world will be judged ... just as God said ... and thus we will find out -- Did God really mean what He said? Now throughout time, the great deceiver has been trying to destroy the people of God, by destroying the "lineage" of the promised One -- the Messiah -- Jesus. And so throughout the Old Testament, you will see God in His mercy to preserve the lineage of the Messiah -- as he allowed the peoples of the world to die in one fashion or another. But soon enough, the result after hell and death -- we see once again God's purpose -- in creating what He always wanted to establish. Rev 21:1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. Rev 21:2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. Rev 21:3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. Rev 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain,any more. The first things have passed away.” Rev 22:1 And he showed me a pure river of Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Rev 22:2 In the midst of its street, and of the river, from here and from there, was the Tree of Life, which bore twelve fruits, each yielding its fruit according to one month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Rev 22:3 And every curse will no longer be; but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will serve Him. Rev 22:4 And they will see His face, and His name will be in their foreheads. Rev 22:5 And there will be no night there. And they need no lamp, or light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light. And they will reign forever and ever. So while some may look at the judgment of God in dealing with the nations as some sort of "evil", His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and His ways are higher than our ways -- and the result of all He has done -- was to preserve a people for Himself. He would go to any length to do so ... and did what was necessary to preserve the lineage of His Messiah. In the end, we see that His plan was to send His Son to die for mankind ... to pay a debt that we could not pay for ourselves. So while we cannot fully comprehend all that God has done or is doing, we do know that God is working out His plan ... 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No,I would never agree that God "Killled" however I would agree that God Allowed their destruction as He Forewarned You see,George said it beautifully and I Know My Father,He is Loving,Kind,Merciful,Compassionate.Long Suffering,Patient & Forgiving but He is also Faithful to His Word.....When someone says "killed" I think of a murderer,an assassin & He is not murderous,He is the Giver of Life He Desires that EVERYONE should have Everlasting Life with Him,His Grace is Abundant and Boundless Quote For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 The God of the Old Testament is the God of the New Testament,He is the Same yesterday,today & forever......The Flood was not a surprise ,they were warned,they were given the same opportunity Noah had to be Saved from destruction Not one single person will find themselves wondering why they are where they are when they pass on from here.....not those in Heaven nor those in hell With love-in Christ,Kwik 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
