Today,
reply is on whether GOD is an enemy to mankind because divinity also
administers sacred law, admonitions, correction, punishment,
warnings, and descriptions of the future events, outcomes, and
results of human choices and decisions that oppose the will of divine
fullness. The eternal purpose of GOD proclaimed through his holy
name is existence and life (we say, I AM); and it is by continuing in
relationship with the active presence who is GOD the Creator
that mankind is to have permanent direction, duration, and
value. There are attentions and chastisements from GOD to reveal his
character, nature, and substance. Created beings and living
creatures apprehend their own identity and integrity of being where
they receive fresh endowments of spirit matter from the makeup of
divinity. Included are faith, holiness, longsuffering,
lovingkindness, righteousness, and wisdom. It is written: Hebrews
12: 7-9, King James Version (KJV): 7 If
ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son
is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without
chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and
not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which
corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather
be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? One of the

When
is God planning to destroy the human race for a second time with
fire. Surely he is the enemy of humanity with these constant threats?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are
confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the
body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that,
whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must
all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may
receive the things done in his body, according to that
he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (2nd

“STEVAN”,
because divinity is invisible, unseen spirit, GOD uses many carnal,
material, social, and spiritual tools that are graphic and memorable
to impress the hearts and minds of the living. Included are
admonitions, cautions, death, and prophetic demonstrations. GOD is
not a malicious destroyer who has set out to harass and heap scorn
upon the created beings and living creatures within his universe.
The eternal and unchanging purpose demonstrated and revealed by
divinity is that there be existence and life. At some point in their
becoming “born again” and “growing up again” to display
genuine maturity, repenting sinners who become developing Christian
believers acknowledge that they themselves also have received
guidance and instruction from divinity whereby they clearly realize
the excellence of sacred knowledge over secular knowledge,
the higher value of sacred events (miracles) and sacred practices
(sacraments) as well as the true integrity and righteousness of GOD.
A child whose father repeats a warning about leaving their
basketball, the bicycle, the football, or the skateboard in the drive
way, might complain to their peers and playmates that their own
father is threatening to junk all their stuff! Sadly, it may turn
out that mom is the one who finally crushes their belongings, and
must go through the expense and humiliation of accounting for an
error with the auto insurance adjuster. Yes, where we seek to
continue in a right relationship with divinity, there are issues of
obedience, privilege, respect, and understanding. Consider again the
following that uses language from the Bible:
1.
Ezekiel 18: 4, King James Version (KJV): 4 Behold, all souls are
mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine:
the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
2.
Ezekiel 18: 26-32, KJV: 26 When a righteous man turneth
away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in
them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. 27 Again,
when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he
hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall
save his soul alive. 28 Because he considereth, and turneth away
from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely
live, he shall not die. 29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of
the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are
not your ways unequal? 30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of
Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD.
Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so
iniquity shall not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all your
transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new
heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 32
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord
GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live
ye.
3.
Luke 12: 32, KJV: 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your
Father’s good pleasure to give
you the kingdom.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4. (Romans 8: 5-9, KJV: 5 For
they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but
they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be
carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is
life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against
God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye
are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of
God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is
none of his.) Even so, I trust this
fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
