I know he’s not willing that any should perish. But when I see so much suffering in the world, I just get impatient and frustrated. It’s a good thing I’m not God, I would’ve left half of the people behind. Lol. Just kidding but you know what I mean. Yes our God is long-suffering
When you read the Bible, the one thing that stands out more to me than anything else is it is always man that abandons God first and then God allows punishment. If you read Isa 1 and 2, Israel turned away from God just like the USA has, All the sins Israel is accused of would fit into a prosecution list against the US. I feel we may not have to wait for God to intervene much longer!
That’s a good point. One of the things that I bring up when I’m sharing God with people, or Christianity with people is this...
All other religions are based on man reaching out to God! Generally they are based on works, and what you can do to be good enough to be in God’s presence.
Christianity is the only religion where God reaches out to man! God made the sacrifice by sending his son Jesus to die for our sins. He did the work for us.
It’s a great easy quick talking point that gets people to start thinking.
