God of wrath; God of LOVE — Introduction

“I want to invite you to consider the possibility that maybe the televangelists and the street preachers and the evangelical converts are wrong … I want to invite you to consider the possibility that maybe God really is Love unconditional. I want to you to open your heart & mind to the chance – however […]

Realization #01) It wasn’t God’s fault

Realization #01:  It is actually fallen angels (and not God) who commit the vast majority of the Old Testament’s acts of violence & “divine wrath”.   There are quite a few folks – Christians & non-Christians alike – who have wondered about the seemingly contradictory nature of God as He is portrayed in the Bible.  […]

Realization #01) Examining some evidence …

This information was in & of itself fascinating to me, and yet I didn’t give it much thought until I later decided to use this rediscovery to color-code the first book of the Bible.  To do so, every time the word “God” showed up in Genesis, I shaded it lightly with an orange pencil, and […]

Realization #01) A short summary …

Not surprisingly, then, it is actually the Elohim – illegitimately posing as God (calling themselves either “the LORD your God” or “the LORD, the God of your ancestors”) who establish the large collection of bizarre (and often radically cruel & unjust) laws in the books of Deuteronomy and Numbers, and it is also the Elohim […]

Realization #02) New trumps Old …

Realization #02:  The verses & teachings found in the New Covenant trump & transcend those found in the Old Testament.   So how else can we reconcile the readily apparent contradiction between the Old Testament’s wrathful God and the New Testament’s all-Loving One?  Fortunately, the easiest way to do so is found within the verses […]

Realization #03) The Mystery of God …

Realization #03:  Either as abstract concept or tangible Force, the “Nature of God” is completely beyond human comprehension.   Initially, it is Important to remember that the Bible itself states that we cannot quantify or describe God with any certainty.  He and the magnitude of His ways will forever remain a Mystery to us … […]

Realization #04) God resides within …

Realization #04:  The full essence of God resides within each & every sentient Being for the entirety of their lives.   Where are we to find God?  Many pray to a God that resides far away from us – far “above” our physical existence here on Earth; worshiping an external God that “looks down” upon […]

Realization #05) God is LOVE …

Realization #05:  God is an Essence that is all-Loving.   Of course, far more important than where God resides is the essence of His character; or the revelation of God’s Divine Nature.  First of all, it is important to realize that, even though God rests within all that exists, it is not necessarily true that […]

Realization #06) God forgives ALL …

Realization #06:  God is an Essence that is all-Forgiving.   In addition to His all-loving nature, God is also the epitome of perfect, unconditional Forgiveness. Indeed, the two go hand-in-hand (or Heart-in-Heart, as it were) …   “And even when you were dead in your trespasses, God made you alive together with him when he […]

Realization #07) God is not a testing god …

Realization #07:  God does not “test” sentient Beings or cause us pain.   God is not the entity that causes us pain, my Friends, but rather the Essence of Love that gives us strength during all times of trial and tribulation (“But the Lord is Faithful; he will Strengthen you and guard you from the […]
