The will of God : Comments

By Everald Compton, published 11/12/2013

Since the dawn of time, millions have been killed by those who claimed to have acted in God's name, but the truth is that every single death has been the unjustifiable action of a violent person.

ojnab/quote<<..Millions/of children..under five[who have/never..sinned>>

in/this l;ife

<<..die each/year,..where is/this..so called..God of love>>..

you..must recall..that we..*are eternal/spirit..having..a..material.. space-time..separation/life experience..of life-teachings/lessons
to..evolve spiritually..[once we 'got/it..why hang arround?

why..hang/around..for the rest/of..it/once the..life-lesson..is learned..[some..use re-birth..to fill-in time/as a loved one..may still have..many-years to..live..so/they seek-out..brief parts..[short-lives]..in..this..karmic-play.

clearly..you think..we all..want/long-life..sentences
but some..lives are shorter/others longer..but..we each/get 'equal/wage'[grace/mercy..etc]

anyhow/david

re/..what god wills..read what jesus said..re gods will
http://acimsearch.org/text/salvation-and-god%E2%80%99s-will/

“The contrast..between..His Will..[God's*Will]
and yours..but seemed to/be reality...In truth
there was..no conflict,..for..His Will..is yours...(M-20.6)”

Affirmation:..
“God’s Will.*is..my will.”

Reflections:

Only in Illusions..[delusional-imaginings]..
Does..our will..Differ..from God's..Will

We re separated..from..god..only,by..our illusions,[falsities]
we..believe that..we want something/for ourselves..that God..[being/sane]..would/not will..for us.

its covered/at the 2de last post here
[Tuesday,10 December 2013 8:17:53]..just in case..i end it/ there
http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=6040&page=0#177801

When we are thinking..this..self/delusional-way,..
we are thinking through the ego.[see the previous posts]..

When the Holy Spirit prompts us..to say or do..or think of something, He is speaking..for..[on behalf..of our matures..[not our/ill-will]our real will,..the one we share with God.

He is ever/ready to give us what we really want.
[see the next two pages..of the source link[pages 200/203]

Would we turn aside from this?
who knows..jonah did..

proving..its better to do nothing..than..do/it with ill-will

once we get that god=all truth/all..love/all grace/all mercy
we know..'our masters voice'..AND we know..if WHAT/we will..is true
its granted...page 202.[i..think]][i havnt edited it/yet]..not sure i need to.

once we get..that we can only wish..for 'real-things'
The distinction between God’s Will and our will then disappears.

We do not have to feel like the Jonah of the Old Testament, a lesson that would have us believe that we cannot escape God’s Will, even when we are acting as hard as we might to do something else.

I don’t know all the nuances of that type of thinking, but it is fallacious reasoning. Jonah’s best action was actually to/do what God wanted him to do...NOTHING

[yet god only wants..for our will
[and only we can know..what is true/good/etc./.of our own free-will]

In that alone..would he find the joy
and happiness that he,..and all others, seek.

OUG,

Your response to me made no sense whatsoever; such little sense, in fact, that the only way I could adequately address it would be to leave you with this...

please aj..i know..your/more clever..than that
[but..satan's/minions..[ego]..has dulled..your ears]

BUT..FOOLISHNESS...IS INHERENT..IN CHILDREN AND..THEREFORE
PARENTS..MUST KNOW*..HOW TO DEAL/WITH FOLLY..[WHEN IT OCCURS].

To call/a brother..a fool is/to declare..him to-be/worthless

thus...TO ASSOCIATE..WITH FOOLS..IS BOTH UNWISE..AND UNPLEASANT.

He who corrects..a scoffer..begets..dishonor..only..for himself,..And he who reproves..a wicked man..begets insults..alone..for himself... thus..Do not reprove..a scoffer,..lest he/fear you,..[Reprove a wise man,..and he will..love you.[(9:7-8)[words/to..the wise].

Certain people..immediately..come to/our minds
with..the mention..of the word fool.

Do not..answer a fool..according/to his folly,..Lest you..also be like him...Answer a fool..as his folly deserves,..Lest he be wise in his own eyes..(26:4-5).[lest/you..gainsay..their/own..hell.]

..a fool..learns-from no-one..

Any..Wisdom is..too high..for a fool,
He will/not..open his mouth in the gate..(proverbs/24:7).
[..because we..must..give*permission..to open gates..with our own mouths.]
[As long/as..the mouth gate..is/not opened,..the devil*knows he has won...IF*..you can't..open your mouth..to praise God,..its/best..not..open your mouth]

BUT..The fool..has..no capacity.for wisdom...he simply....has..“no heart”..for it....He may* seem to..seek wisdom,..but is incapable/of recognizing/applying/using..it..or retaining it.

*..THE FOOL..HAS NO DESIRE/..FOR WISDOM,..AND
WOULD REJECT..IT..EVEN IF/HE COULD ACQUIRE IT..BECAUSE HE FEARS IT:

All of...them..evoke..a certain..sense/of pity,..mixed with ironic amusement...Not so with/the fool..This is but..one of..the reasons why..the study..of/“the fool”\..is important.

A wise man..can learn..more..from a foolish question
more than..a fool..can learn from a
wise answer.

Otto von Bismarck said..'
a fool..learns..only..from his/own mistakes. The wise man
learns from the mistakes of others.'

Proverbs..17:10.."A rebuke..impresses..a man..of discernment
more/than..a hundred/lashes a fool."

From..the errors..of others,..
a wise/man..corrects his own.

Leave/the presence..of a fool,
Or..you will/not discern..even..words/of knowledge..(14:7).

i could..keep/going indefinitely..but..to..what end
a fool..is just a child..who..has..miss/heard..or not..heard at all.

i..hear..you brother
its no bother..[water off..a ducks back]

[but..why only barter..your knowing/with..the wise
its..so much..easier to..learn from..the folly..of the foolish]

cheers/br-other
its wasted..on/you..[at/this..time]..i know

but maybe..next time..you may/try to..*appear..more wise
than/that..absurd clip..you..posted..[the title..alone]..reveals the greater fool..]

WmTrevor,..<<A problem compounded by beliefs which also imagine god as legislator, judge, jury and executioner.>>

i agree..its imagined
[i hesitate to presume..to reply..

i/had hoped the author/would find..the will..to..reply

regardless..its clear that..god dont judge/legislate..nor execute
thats so blatantly obvious..AS* a LIFE GIVER..can hardly be pleased..by seemingly..ending life.[let/the dead..tend the dead]

it may safely./be noted further..
that THE FATHER..of all life..embodies..ONLY THE BEST..of fatherhood. having supreme/faith..in..HIS created..[just as/any good parent would.]

<<..Multi-tasker or obsessive-compulsive?>>..

happily..he is both..[its hard enough..to draw/a flower
let alone create..one..[ditto..the coloring-in/of his creations]

who can but..paint the markings..of the fish/birds/plants flowers..but one who..expects..a PERFECT/end.

<<..As reflected by followers,>>

seems a fair measure..yet..once you think
to know..the artist..you cant hold him to..account..for evil..done..in/his name.

freewill..however..allows a broad\canvas/..yet a fine brush.

<<god's immutability seems inconceivable.>>

so it may seem..[to those who..think..
that..god thought creation..in..an instant]..

but we..who..must[now]..live in/it..day/by day/
the..evolving/process..of eternity..[one day at a time]..must discover his immutability..*by our evolution..and his crreations..rather than his perfected..being..[dreaming].long ago.

thats what i...liked about the big-bang/theory
that was..a neat way..of god..creating/learning and dreaming..again/again

with the big bang ..expanding/contracting..space/time..[like breathing]..thus god always was..[ie eternal]..but creation..[finiteness]...has its beginning..a-gain..and again and again..into eternity.

now i..see god simply/as the collective..merciful/good/truth
revealed by the light..that sustains life..that life might by logic find..the living loving true light..[within/us all.]..by our heart/light

but..i would/so love to..hear from..the author
as his insights between..the divergent messengers..of the one good[god]..can only expand the wisdom..of his precedent/words and works..that created the topic..

but i..for'got..myself in..the enthusiasm..like always
[but i cant switch half on..]god..is all..in all..of all
that we hate..in other..we thus hate in..our good[god]/self.

Please OUG can you write so we can all understand what you are saying, remember long and lengthy and hard to read opinions normally are not read and skipped over.
There is no proof that a God, Spirit, Soul exits, these are all man made items.

OUG,

There was far more earnestness in my response to you than there was 'clowning around', and I had hoped that my tone would convey that too.

I don’t see how referring you to that link displayed foolishness or a lack of wisdom on my behalf. As Thomas Jefferson even said:

“Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them…”

With that in mind, I think the clip that I linked you to had the perfect blend of serious, constructive criticism, and ridicule. You need to take that on board and not be so quick to assume that the problem must lie with others.
