John 3:16 For God So Loved…
May 11, 2008 3 Comments
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
God gave his Son. Not Himself, but His Son…to our world…well actually to the Middle East.
Now I suppose Jesus would be Holy, after all he was created by God…wait a minute…so were we!
So were the angels and demons and Satan.
So was the Holy Spirit…so was everything.
Are we all Holy? Are we all God; as Jesus is in the trinity?
Do you suppose He created them (Jesus, angels, demons, Satan, Holy Spirit, etc.) all at the same time or separately? If He created them separately, as it seems He would, then it seems that they are separate creations. A result of His magic…not actually “of” Himself, but of His magic…His spoken or imagined words…much as he is said to have created our universe.
Why does He keep killing us? Well actually, except for not interfering with evil (which He directly created), he hasn’t directly killed anyone (that I know of) for about 4,000 years…more or less.
Do you suppose He stopped because Paul told Him to? Bad image and all that…gotta get that “Loving God” thing going.
Boy, this sure gets confusing.

First, of all Jesus is Holy because He IS God. Second, Satan was an angel and so were the demons. Satan and his followers (“demons”) were thrown out of heaven after trying to say they were “better” than God. Third, the Holy Spirit, also, IS God…not created by God…and that is why He is holy. And as to the whole “he hasn’t directly killed anyone (that I know of) for about 4,000 years”–God is behind everything. He upholds and sustains EVERYTHING. So he is behind every birth, every breath, every storm, every step, every death. It’s all in His plan. (Paul, a mere human, cannot TELL God to DO anything…)
Hey, TWOM,
You’re touching on a lot of different doctrines and important themes there.
– The Trinity (Father, Son & Spirit; perpetual “begotten-ness” of the Son; procession of the Spirit from the Father and the Son)
– Salvation history – Jesus incarnated among the Jews as fulfillment of God’s promise to redeem the world via the Chosen People
– definition of holiness
-the “problem” of death
-the “problem” of evil (and the origins thereof)
Yep, you’ve said a mouthful.
Are you actually confused (meaning: do you really want to discuss these things) or are you just “ranting” as your tags suggests?
Peace,
Robaigh
