Death, divine excellence, sin, and the sovereignty of GOD are topics, today. As a vessel containing aspects of divinity, mankind responds to Deity with awe, humility, obedience, and respect. Without such divine matter as faith and holiness, it is impossible for created beings and living creatures to please GOD, or to experience the things from GOD as having any pleasure and value. The nature and substance of divinity is far above that within carnal beings and material things. Thus, we say GOD is complete, exalted, immortal, immutable, incorruptible, perfected, and pure. Where men fail to realize and value correctly their own existence as put forth in the image of GOD, they usually become entrapped by beggarly elements, and must depend on finite standards such as those from the study of human history (i.e., the Great Man; the seminal event). The infinite possibilities for human continuance through godliness are cut off, because they will see themselves as fashioned after mortals having only the flaws and weaknesses from the image of Adam. (Consider again Psalms 139: 1-24, KJV.) The fighter at “Yahoo! 7 Answers” (Australia) using the ID “Falcore-_-” (Level 4 with 2,756 points, a member since September 03, 2012) attacked by posting the following:
Why is God such an asshole?
He has killed more people than hitler.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. (Deuteronomy 7: 9-10, KJV)

“Falcore-_-”, because you are making a very common mistake in your way of thinking about divinity, you are blaspheming GOD in the same way a child commits “back talk” and “sass” to their parents. The character, makeup and substance of GOD must be understood as infinite, non-material, and unlimited. Deity, who is a spirit, is not on the same level as you and your mates, the Prime Minister, or Adolph Hitler. The following points might help release you from the spiritual trap you now are caught in:
(1.) Those who want a complete and correct knowledge of Hitler’s goals, motives and values usually study his work, Mein Kampf in detail. His achievement in securing the admiration and respect of a modern nation can not be otherwise explained. Those who seek a full knowledge of the GODhead (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) carefully study the collection of holy writings that come to us as the Bible, and invite the presence of GOD as an imparted spirit (we say, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Prophecy, the Spirit of Truth). The sacred operations of the kingdom of GOD (e.g., atonement, forbearance, forgiveness, judgment, rebirth, salvation, sanctification) can not be discerned using such finite tools as emotions, intellect, logic, mathematics, philosophy, and science. The kingdom will remain invisible.
(2.) Sacred knowledge begins with the truth that GOD is a spirit (we say, essence). Only GOD is immortal; and GOD must be known through specific points of truth that only divinity may reveal (such as these): Divinity is the source of all created beings and living creatures, their spheres of existence (e.g., earth, heaven, the sea, the universe), and the terms for their duration as mortal and temporal. For mankind, many aspects of the life process are both mechanical and organic. Men grow or survive passing through fixed cycles, phases and stages that allow men to determine aspects of their own duration as they use the tools of awareness and self-will.
(3.) Sin has not been created by GOD, yet, may dominate created beings and living creatures through their awareness and self-will. Like time and space, divine law (the expressed will of GOD) is provided as a primary structure for divine order.
(4.) Sin is no “thing” having material dimensions that would allow you to put sin into a box; however, sin has direction, effect, and “presence”. Sin opposes the continued existence of divine law, the Law Giver, and everything that requires sacred law for its continued being, including all mankind.
There is far more to be said, correctly understood, and properly apprehended. (For example, (5.) Those having the same spirit content that resides within divinity are being released from sin as an influence, and can be recognized by their continuing obedience and respect to Jesus Christ. Death is understood as a form of sleep that will be reversed by GOD for purposes of judgment. Believers are now being prepared for further aspects of life from GOD receiving inseparable aspects of Deity such as faith, holiness, humility, joy, love, truthfulness, wisdom and wrath against sin.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith and spiritual maturity.
