God created everything Appropriate

Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart , yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.” - NASB 1995 Pastor, ‘Christian’, please see the “appropriate” in the verse above. Your Bible version most probably has the word “beautiful” written there. God did not make everything beautiful. God also created evil (calamity, chaos, bad). See Isaiah 45:7 . Isaiah 45:7 “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil : I the LORD do all these things.” - King James Bible In Ecclesiastes 3:11 above it says God made everything appropriate in its time. See also Proverbs 16:4 below. Proverbs 16:4 “The LORD has made everything for its own purpose, Even the wicked for the day of evil.” - NASB 1995 So then, since God made EVERYTHING appropriate in its time, how can you ever regard ANYTHING God made to be inappropriate at any time? And what’s more, how do you define everything? Everything is every thing, every one, every thought, every action, every emotion, every personality. God is Supreme and Sovereign. He has a loving purpose with all. Never ever let your ego throw your logic out the window. When you see someone vulnerable suffering at the hand of another, won’t you have compassion for that someone? Of course you will have. It just comes naturally. It goes further; since God dictates ALL, everybody on the face of this planet is vulnerable- and exposed to the very hand of the One who created him or her in the first place… the almighty God of the Bible… the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Now it becomes trickier as we go further. Since God created evil as well, albeit for His Divine and good purpose, with what compassion will you now regard the one who was the perpetrator ? This does not come so automatic and naturally anymore, doesn’t it? Well, this is exactly where logic is imperative. This is the crux where sound logic turns an unforgiving heart into a compassionate one… into default mode. The moment we have a compassionate heart by default, that moment our life makes a 180 degrees turn in the opposite direction… the direction towards the loving God of the Bible who saved all through Christ and who equally loves ALL, irrespective of race, gender, or current religion. With one’s eyes fixed upon Jesus, the Perfecter of faith , life transforms from an existence of emptiness into a vibrancy of meaningfulness. Hebrews 12:2 “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith , who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” - NASB 1995 (Please note that the “at” must read “in”) When we totally acknowledge the Sovereignty and Supremacy of the God of the Bible in all, and make that the foundation of our every reasoning, the Bible makes sense like never before. Then a compassionate heart inevitably becomes a full time reality. The benefits of this perspective is endless. Then pandemics, elemental disasters, cruelty, pain and death have lost dominion over us… leaving us with a LIFE of JOY and HOPE ! When you have a compassionate heart for others it goes without saying that will have a compassionate heart for yourself as well. Then your own acts of ‘misconduct’ and ‘inappropriateness’ will not have dominion over you anymore, irrespective of the fact that each and every one of us has to go through God’s corrective discipline. See what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:32 . The second death is no threat to him. Truth sets free. Pastor, ‘Christian’, you who believe in everlasting damnation, isn’t it time to let go of your age-long suffering under this nonsense doctrine of yours? Deep down you perfectly know that you are not free at all. Throw your Heidelberg Catechism-, Canons of Dort and Belgic Confession documents away… realizing their devastating bias contents that held too many (including you) captive for too long. May God open your eyes.
