If God saved one life, but did so by betraying Himself… If God saved a 1000 lives, but did so by betraying Himself… If God saved your dying child, but did so by betraying Himself… Would that make you happy? Change your attitude towards God for the better?
Would you take one life to save another? Would you take 10 lives to save another? Would you take a 1000 lives to save another? Some people would.
If Superman saved a 1000 lives, but killed one in the process…. would they still hold a parade for him? How should we then view humanity as a whole with such a mixture far more volatile than this depiction? If a man is nice to a 100 people and an asshole to one is he a nice person or an asshole?
They say we have no power over others or others. That’s what we’re taught in Alcoholics Anonymous. But that’s only a 1/2 truth. Walk up to somebody and spit in their face and see what they do. Walk up to them and give them a cure for cancer for their child and see what they do. And of these, spiritual principles are the most powerful in the universe!*
God doesn’t just see what we have done; but He sees us through what we would do! He knows which side of the fence we would be on if we were living in Jerusalem 2000 years ago 🤷♂️ Of course to we mere morals this would be sacrilege because we could only speculate (however, some humans are vastly better at speculation than others).
Most of us are powerless because we don’t know the secrets to power. In humans they are not full proof because some humans… In humans they are not full proof because some humans -not every human being will (re)act in the same way. Not even with God Himself! Now there are secrets that are from an evil source and secrets that are from a benign source.
Drop human beings into numerous situations and see which one’s rise to the top. Drop human beings into numerous situations and you’ll get numerous approaches to dealing with any given situation by the individuals themselves. God however, does not act in this fashion as He epitomizes… He is in fact “the Book on…” That’s the best way I can put it even though He is in fact beyond anything we could possibly comprehend let alone describe.
In some things we humans beings should be individualistic (God made it so). While in others ways we should be remarkably similar or consistent (God made it so) -and yet we are not 🙆♂️ we even take pride in this fact (knowingly or unknowingly). We, for instance, take pride in raising our children as we see fit -in many cases doing a very poor job of it. Some people would do well to be told just how to raise their children actually. Let us just say it couldn’t make things any worse!*
*You will probably see this repeatedly in various posts… We spend tens of thousands of dollars on an education issue to learn money but how much do we spend learning how to be good parents? Are you going to tell me you’ve never questioned your own abilities as a parent? Well if that’s the case…
In order to have a great comeback one must be down a great deal 🤷♂️
