Let’s review the question…
GIVE 2 examples of what is told by people the result of God’s long suffering (patience)
so, these people do not get what God wants to give
so the Will of God not received…
and those who do not follow the will of God do not go to heaven
they desire and wants to heaven, and since God is patience HE
and God is patience (This is POSITIVE from God’s part)
is because there is NOT YET what is expected from God
(i do not meet the requirements of God - this is NEGATIVE)
Is GOD full of patience? YES
Does GOD HAS to be patience? NO
THE FACT THAT HE HAS TO…meaning there is a 50% chance this is something NOT GOOD!
So when GOD MUST BE patient, meaning?
GOD is patient?
GOD has to be patient? NO
God does not need to be patient
so if God has to be patient?
there is 50% chance GOD possibly is NOT GOOD
Why is GOD long suffering, when HE DOES NOT HAVE TO?
the fact that God is long suffering
GOD has to face a situation HE does not want to face…
BE IN A POSITION THAT OTHERWISE I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN
THIS IS BECAUSE OF LONG SUFFERING!
This is what God has to engage in…DEAL WITH, PUT UP, TOLERATE…because we do not meet what HE wants us to be!
WHY WE DO NOT NEED BE LONG SUFFERING
BECAUSE WE CAN B E IN A POSITION WEHRE GOD DOES NOT HAVE TO SHOW LONG SUFFERING
SIN IS THE RESULT OF WHY GOD HAS TO BE LONG SUFFERING!
long suffering is the result of THE negative attribute of what men have done (sin)
without sin, there needs to NOT be expression of the long suffering of God!
TO WAIT is an ACT OF PATIENCE
LONG SUFFERING
is because what needs to happen is NOT YET SEEN
or EXPRESSED
TO HAVE WHAT HAS TO BE PRESENT
GOD IS PATIENT
GOD DOES NOT NEED TO BE PATIENT
BUT BECAUSE OF LOVE (HE WANTS TO LIFE WITH MEN)
HE IS WILLING TO PATIENTLY WAIT (LONG SUFFERING)
GOD has to be just (not forced)
“has”
means he IS just
not needs to be just
WHY GOD IS LONG SUFFERING AND SO LONG BEFORE DESTRYOING SATAN?
BECAUSE GOD IS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR
PEOPLE WHO WILL VINDICATE HIS CHARACTER!
PATRIARCH & PROPHETS (PARA NABI DAN BAPA, ALFA OMEGA JILID 1)
IS THE BOOK WHY GOD PERMITS SIN..
Why the power to create is the same power to redeem?
because it is the same LOVE, but why?
because its the same source?
The answer,
DOES GOD SAVE BY USING THE “WRENCH” OF HEAVEN?
GOD creates by his WORD
and when HE saves? by HIS WORD also…
why should it be different?
Before man becomes man? was it a man before becoming man? NO!
There was no Adam before Adam was made Adam!
NO ONE is good!
ALL HAVE sinned!
God imparts (shared) forever his…
those who were saved from non saved
was there anything good before being saved?
CREATION IS FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING
REDEMPTION IS THE SAME CONCEPT
FROM NO GOOD IN US TO SOMETHING GOOD IN US!
FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING!
THERE IS DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY THAT IS DIFFERENT
BECAUSE TO REDEEM FROM SINNER TO BE NON-SINNER
DEPENDS ON MAN’S ACCEPTANCE TO BELIEVE
AND THIS IS WHERE THERE IS “LONG PATIENCE”
GODS ABILITY TO SAVE IS ALWAYS THE SAME
THE PROBLEM IS THAT MEN DO NOT BELIEVE IN THIS ABILITY(POWER)
SO THE WEAKEST LINK IS ON THE HUMAN FACTOR!
HUMAN FACTOR IS INFLUENCED BY HAVING SINNED!
IF GOD IS ALWAYS LONG SUFFERING
WHY THERE IS A TIME GOD DOES NOT HAVE TO MANIFEST HIS LONG SUFFERING?
GOD EXPRESSED HIS LONG SUFFERING SO THAT WE MAY
REALIZE OUR CONDITION AND DEPEND WHOLLY ON HIS STRENGTH
THAT HE NEED NOT HAVE TO EXPRESS HIS LONG SUFFERING
