God’s Patience

Leads to What?

To repentance… and to salvation ! 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord does not delay the promise , as some esteem slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but all to come to repentance .” - Berean Literal Bible 2 Peter 3:15 “Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation , just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.” - New International Version ‘Pastor, ‘Christian’, don’t these two verses above speak for themselves? God is a purposeful God… He knows what He wants and He gets what He wants. His will is that all will come to repentance and His will always prevails. ALL WILL come to repentance and ALL WILL therefore be saved, irrespective of the current religion at hand. Another two nails in the ‘free will’ coffin. The following message of Paul around God’s patience may well be what Peter refers to above… Romans 2:4 “Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance ?” - Berean Study Bible Is God limited to time? No. He is the One who created time, for the duration of man. He already predetermined the duration of time until timeless eternity starts and eternity will ONLY start when ALL mankind will be in His Kingdom where man will not be man anymore, but spirit… and where God be ALL in ALL . Please notice my deliberate omission of any modal auxiliary verb in front of the verb “be” ( ē ( ᾖ ))… the “be” that is tied to God. God, the “I AM” is ALWAYS “be”… ALWAYS in the present tense. Just a reminder… you do of course believe in Him to be Omnipresent, don’t you? As you likely have seen that virtually all Bibles reflect either a “may”, or a “might” modal auxiliary verb in the verse below. Why? To instil doubt … to foster the ‘eternal damnation’ nonsense doctrine of course! 1 Corinthians 15:28 “And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all .” - New American Standard Bible #2443 #1510 #3588 #2316 #3588 #3956 #1722 #3956 “ hina ē ho Theos ta panta en pasin.” “ἵνα ᾖ ὁ Θεὸς τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν.” “,so that be the God the all in all.” God has already, before time, determined when He brings everyone to repentance . This “when” of course means on either side of the grave. God has many attributes, but the most important attribute that overshadows all the rest is His LOVE! His love conquers within everyone. Paul and his fellow believers, for instance, had already been brought to repentance through chastisement in their lifetime on earth and had therefore already been saved through their true faith in Jesus’ universal saving grace. 1 Corinthians 11:32 “Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world .” - New International Version #2632 – katakrithōmen (kατακριθῶμεν) Definition: judged worthy of punishment To conclude… Pastor, ‘Christian’, I sincerely hope that you now realize the extreme abomination of having the audacity to even attempt to make God’s Presence doubtful at any given occasion… ‘fractionating’ its indivisibility with a little man- made word like “may” or “might”. This “may” or “might” in front of the “ ᾖ “ (“I AM”) is making the Latter doubtful, which is appalling to say the least. Where will you repent, taken this grammatical trespass into account… before your grave… or afterwards? Critical food for thought! May God open your eyes and may you acknowledge His ultimate grace for ALL.
