I
don't believe there are ever times when God doesn't
love
Pr 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction
PS 64:9 And all men shall fear,
and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of
his doing.
Joshua 4 That all the people of the earth might know
the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God
for ever.
You do not know the God of the Bible
Mal 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid
his mountains and his heritage waste
RM 9:13 Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I
hated.
PS 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou
hatest all workers of iniquity.
PS 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is
angry with the wicked every day. If he turn not, he will whet his
sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of
death
God also loves Hitler? Jeffrey Dahmler [sp] The Homo Cannibal?
God's preocpupation with hell?
DU 32 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall
burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth
PS 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell
PS 55 Let death seize upon them, and let them
go down quick into hell: for wickedness is
in their dwellings, and among them.
IS 5 Therefore
hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without
measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that
rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
Is 14 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
MT 18 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and
cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye,
rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell
fire.
MT 23 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers,
how can ye escape the damnation of
hell?
MK 9 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee
to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Lu 12 But I will forewarn you
whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to
cast into hell; yea, I say unto
you, Fear him.

SAID Maybe you both need to do a little more research. Start with Sodom
and Gomorrah, then go to the flood. Finish up with Annanias and
Sapphira.
These Warnings are for a EXAMPLE to us:
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also
among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who
privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought
them, and bring upon themselves swift
destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by
reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through
covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose
judgment now of a long time
lingereth not, and their damnation
slumbereth not. For if God spared not the angels that
sinned, but cast them down to
hell, and delivered them into chains of
darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the
old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of
righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the
world of the ungodly; And turning
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them
with an overthrow, making them an
ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And
delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the
wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in
seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their
unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment
to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in
the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they,
selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels,
which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against
them before the Lord. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak
evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And
shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that
count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes,
sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling
unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed
children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following
the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of
unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass
speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. These are wells
without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for
ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they
allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that
were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them
liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is
overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped
the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end
is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to
have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn
from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them
according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and
the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Since it's March Break, the kids are home. I walked in
to hear Caspian playing his guitar, recording his own music upstairs on his
computer. That was kind of a neat juxtaposition with the Dylan Chronicles
and imagining the young Dylan!
What I like about Dylan's writing is how he describes
people, and captures them in a few essential details--but I hope I don't
have to try to keep track of all these people he crosses paths with, as
there are so many! For me the reading gets in the way, though; I can't
quite describe how, but it's distracting. I'm too aware of the voice and
tone, it's almost like I have to get behind it or under it to really
hear the words. That's kind of ironic, isn't it.
...Or maybe it was just
that hell was distracting me. Hell can be a hell of a distraction. I don't
know what to say/think about what Terry wrote, except that I don't
believe there are ever times when God doesn't love, or people he doesn't
love--whatever other daddies might do. John said on the phone this
morning that no theology accounts for everything, and I
agree. I am afraid of taming God or flattening him into one
dimension, and any theology is capable of doing that, tends towards that.
All kinds of things come into my head--Lewis in Till We Have Faces
saying that the truth is thick and dark like blood rather than clear
and runny like water. The Beavers saying to Lucy in Narnia about Aslan, "Of
course he's not safe!" Marina saying at Cagney's that there IS
such thing as judgment. I don't think we can figure God out.
But hell IS a
distraction! I think that paying too much attention to hell or no-hell is
like looking at your back tire to see if it's low while
trying to ride your bike. It can't be done. You veer off course or you
wobble and fall over. I just think we're not meant to. Perhaps for
some of us, when we are in the same place as the Prodigal Son when he "came
to himself", an awareness of hell (or our own hell?) can jolt us into
a longing to be reunited with our Father. But it should not be
the impetus for our evangelism, or what we "use" to goad people into
the Kingdom. It is like always turning over the breathtaking
painting to look at the back, or something; I don't know how else to
describe the perverseness of that focus, when we should be constantly
blown away by the desire of God for us. Like in the quote you sent me this
morning.
Other stuff later.

DAVEH: If I were to fill in the blank G.....I'd
say God thinks
like a parent. In my opinion, God is
quintessentially the ultimate parent. For him to do something
contrary to what a parent would do....defies my perception of the
Lord's love and mercy.
