Today,
reply is on displaying accountability for Creation and preserving the
universe as inseparable aspects of the divine goodness GOD provides
to created beings and living creatures. While finite consciousness
can conceive form and process for life experience that focuses on
things carnal, material and social, created beings and living
creatures can not depend on their own intellect and self-will
(willpower) either to secure a permanent place as life companions to
divinity, or to overcome the operations of sin without divine
intervention. GOD must appear among the living as active presence
who initiates and completes multiple sacred tasks that include
atonement, forgiveness, ending mortality, rebirth, sanctification,
resurrection, and executing the second death. It is written:
Genesis 6: 5-8, King James Version (KJV): 5 And God saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he
had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And
the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the
creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I
have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

If
god is good why did he send millions to a watery grave?
even
if they did bad things he could have shown them the error of their
ways in a peaceful way being all powerful. yet this monster god
everyone loves so much drowned them all. how can you all worship such
a god?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: For if by one man’s
offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance
of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,
Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came
upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the
free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as
by one man’s disobedience many
were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath
reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness
unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 5: 17-21, KJV)

“wandering
vagabond”, mature Christian believers trust that, in addition to
faith, holiness, longsuffering and lovingkindness, the goodness of
immortal, incorruptible GOD also must display accountability,
authority, consistency, impartiality, integrity, justice, mercy, and
uncompromising wrath against sin. The operations of GOD to cleanse,
heal, preserve and restore mankind are not constricted by the
frameworks of time and space, or mechanical and natural law. Even
so, there are multiple elements that appear relying on immutable
divine laws, sacred principles, published proclamations, promise,
prophecy, eternal purpose, and the sovereign will of GOD. Consider
again the following that uses language from the Bible, and a
selection from the music ministry of Deitrick Haddon:
(1.)
Ecclesiastes 9: 17-18, King James Version (KJV): 17 The words of
wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that
ruleth among fools. 18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war:
but one sinner destroyeth much good.
(2.)
Ezekiel 18: 20-24, KJV: 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the
father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the
righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall
be upon him. 21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that
he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is
lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22 All his
transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned
unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23
Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord
God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and
committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the
abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his
righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his
trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned,
in them shall he die.
(3.)
Ezekiel 16: 49-50, KJV: 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy
sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was
in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of
the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty, and committed
abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.)

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
