If we say that to a militant atheist for example, do they stop though. That's the point. Saying you are blaspheming to an atheist is meaningless to them. Saying it to a a believer should mean something. If not, and a person fails to repent of such, some time shortly after the Lord gives them up as a reprobate. I would not like that happen if at all possible. Praying for you, Equippers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a LAIR, and He doesn't care about right and wrong in the mean time at all Friend, many of us have prayed for you for a long time. All of us sometimes go through trials that are painful and of a long duration. However, the key is that we continue to lean on the Lord, and to trust in Him. He will get us through the trials. Life might not always be blissful, but having the peace of God in our hearts and minds through the trials is a blessing. Btw, there is a law of sowing and reaping....those who you feel are getting away with things are not. Learn to leave them in God's hands.... vengeance is His, not ours. And we will be much happier if we turn it all over to the Lord to handle. 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father also chastens... ie. corrects, reproves, and rebukes. Hebrews 12:6-11 KJV 6For whom the LORD loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Revelation 3:19 KJV 19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Proverbs 3:12 KJV 12For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a LAIR, and He doesn't care about right and wrong in the mean time at all One of the 2 classic issues that an atheist always has is that they become increasing bitterly frustrated by the fact that they at some point realized that life is not fair. They want LIFE to be FAIR to them while they are alive, and when they find that life is anything but fair, and gets worse the longer they live..... a bitter & harsh trip, they then start looking around for someone to Blame. They always choose God whom they reject and claim does not exit, to blame. The other issue is that an Atheist can never seem to understand that there is no validity, no truth to be found, when they refuse to blame men (people) for what they do to each other because they are evil at heart, and instead want to blame God for what men (people) do to each other.... instead. The reason that bad things happen to us all, is because the world is a bad place to live. Its evil. The reason that people do bad things to other people, is because this evil world is full of the same type people.......BAD. And why does God not just step in and never let anything bad happen to people that is caused by other people? Its because He respects YOUR Freewill. Everything is built around this on our behalf, = that is related to how God deals with us, now, and in Eternity. Freewill rules the human heart, and God allows it as He created us to have it, as this is a part of HIMSELF, as " we" are originally "made in His image".. (Adam - the exact likeness of his nature). And often the result of this allowing, is horrible misconduct by people, that will be addressed now, or in eternity. Sinners keep on sinning, because """"Judgement is not executed speedily against their transgressing lifestyle""""". But it surely comes. as "sowing and reaping" will find you here, and damnation and the lake of fire will get you later, if you never take God's eternal solution (Christ) who eternally redeems you from the judgement that is due you for your lifetime of sinning. Its always interesting to me that on one hand an atheist will deny God exists, while at the same time blaming Him for all that is "wrong" with their lives, and the world in general. Thats interesting, isn't it.? Blaming what you say isn't real, is a type of insanity. Edited December 18, 2019 by Behold 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this is a background on the OP that I'm unaware of. It's okay, my post still stand relevant and rather stern in this case. I'm not about to take an outpouring of rubbish that states, "God talks a lot of BS - He's a LIAR", and so on. It's blasphemous, plain and simple.

Whatever God has planned for this earth and that includes judgment of both the believers and unbelievers is good enough for me. God is not a liar and and He loves everyone. He does care about who is being obedient and who is not. You are very bitter and angry towards God. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lord taught us that so we wouldn't have to suffer. He also created us - we can thank him for that, also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
