I'm honestly asking this and I don't mean to be rude, really. I was also raised christian, studied at a christian school that had its own church, I used to pray every night, I wanted to be an altar boy (but couldn't bc I was a girl) I discussed about stuff with my priest... but when I was old enough I started thinking that all of this was not for me. And recently discovered that it was my OCD and my intrusive thoughts that told me I had to pray bc if I didn't, something bad would happen. My question is: How can you (and lots of christians) say that Jesus and God love us all for who we are, no matter what and then say that unless we believe in them we're going to suffer a lot and go to Hell. Like that is not unconditional love, that, in fact, very conditional and for me that's a sign of really abusive and awful "parenthood".
Not at all! I've often thought about this too, so i'll do my best.
God is many things, all Loving, all Merciful, but also all Just. our sense of justice is just a small speck compared to His. if someone stole something from you or hurt your family or committed a crime against you, wouldn't you want justice? God is completely just, so He will never leave a bad thing unanswered. However! since He is merciful and loving, He already knows that we all make mistakes and we could never pay for it all on our own. that is why He said, "I will pay for the justice myself." He sent His only Son, Jesus/ Yeshua who is perfect, to die in our place. He said that by believing that Jesus was enough to pay it for us, then we are freed from that debt and go to Heaven to be with Him.
Now think about it, no amount of "being nice" will help you in a court of law. Say you got a major parking ticket and you tell the judge, "Yeah but i bought my friends cookies and helped an old lady cross the street!" the judge is gonna be like, "That doesn't matter. you got a ticket and now you have to pay." as a believer in Jesus, in this scenario He would walk in and say, "I will pay the fine for them." He can legally do that, and you're set free. if no one pays for what they've done, then there would be no justice, and no right and wrong.
But God's Love doesn't just extend to offering to free us, it also extends to free will. God didn't make us robots or mindless servants, He's trying to gather a family of people that /choose/ to love and be with Him. and He's never going to force anyone to accept Him and His free payment if they don't want that. but by rejecting Jesus, they are saying they want to pay for all their wrongs on their own.. which is impossible. that's the whole reason Jesus came in the first place.
"unconditional love" means that a person's love will neve leave you no matter what you do, and that's true of God. He will never stop loving everyone, even those that reject and hate Him. but as a Good Parent, He respects that His creations are people that make their own decisions. and in the case of those that reject Him, that will lead to consequences because of the law of justice.
that is not an abusive parent. it would be abuse if we were held to this standard and there was no way to meet it. but there IS:
"For God so LOVED the world the He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
and also: "There is no judgment against ANYONE who believes in Him. But anyone who does not believe in Him has already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son." (John 3:18)
so God loves us to an incredible degree and He did everything so that we could go to Heaven to be with Him. HE did it, not us. but it's up to each person if they accept that or not. don't blame your own choices on God. it's His will that no one would go to Hell except the devil (whom it was made for).
" 'Do you think that I like to see wicked people die?' says the Sovereign Lord. 'Of course not! I want them to turn from their wicked ways and live.' " (Ezekiel 18:23)
"I, the Lord, made you and I will not forget you. I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to Me, for I have paid the price to set you free!" (Isaiah 44:21-22)
I commissioned artwork from the fabulous @petimetrek to go with Chapter Nine of Appetite for Reconstruction, my Leverage/MCU cross-over. In Chapter Nine, Parker, Hardison, Eliot, Bucky, and Natasha settle in for some late night drinking. Natasha brought Bucky a vodka juicebox from Romania.
I could not be happier with how perfect this illustration is!! Look at that gorgeous man drinking his ridiculous vodka drink! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!
I'm so scared. My friend is a great fan and she was hoping for the best... Idk how she's going to react to this shitty end. She has been talking about this for weeks nonstop. This is bad... So bad.
yeah it was bad but like. a little funny. i feel bad for fans who care but this is very on brand for spn in my opinion
happy birthday to @petimetrek ! her character, a baker with some interesting scars ( ゚o゚)
Crown of Thorns Pod’rama Chapter 37 Meet the artist—Petimetrek
Just a random artist from Spain that fell in love with Good Omens years and years ago when her friend told her about this great book... since then she couldn't stop drawing fanart of it.Â
Find her on tumblr @petimetrek
Listen to the episode that inspired her here.
Image description: In a bleak fluorescent-lit space, Hastur and Ligur dance the tango. Hastur holds a rose clenched between his teeth, the thorns piercing his lip so the blood runs. Ligur, gazing at him, grins disturbingly.
Please do the true form week!!!
I am not a person who has time to spare, my friend :/
A piece of artwork I made as a gift for my beloved, @petimetrek : featuring her as a Gelfling (a Spriton/Stonewood mix) with her lovely doggos (from left to right) Kiko, Petra, Lulu, Indy and B’Elanna (on her shoulder) as fizzgigs.
I am very happy that you liked the drawing, my darling. u 3 u
Love you lots.
