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.
