But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. — Galatians 4:4-5
As we went through the adoption process for our son, I’ll never forget the first time we received documentation on him. We had to request a file for him, where the file told us all about who he was. It told us about his age, his current physical status, even things that the foster family had noted about him in China.
This file shared a lot of good things, but it also shared a lot of things that many would consider not so good. He was deaf. They believed he could have some developmental delays. There was a certainty that he would require medical attention and help in a variety of ways as he grew.
The point of the story is that while there were some unknowns, we knew a lot about him before he ever knew about us. Even though we knew there would be a lot of needs, we chose to adopt our son without any reservation.
Just as much as I am glad to have my son, I’m so much more glad that God chose to send His son to die for me. He knew all about me long before I ever came to know Him. He knew all my faults, all my failures. He knew I would need mercy and grace. Yet, He still chose to love me and die for me. He still chose to accept me.
The best part, not one single person is left out of that. Jesus knew what He was getting into when He chose to die for the sins of the world. He knew the good and the bad, yet, He still chose to die. He accepted me fully, without any reservation.
Does it ever cross your mind about how God could ever choose to love you? Do you ever question why God would accept you in spite of all the wrongs you have done? Instead of questioning, today be thankful! God has fully accepted you, without any reservation. If you have accepted Him as Savior, He adopted you!

I don't believe I am worthy of his love, but he doesn't mind my anxieties and shows me he has always loved me. I don't understand this at all, his love is far beyond my comprehension. Praise him.
God is good....
It’s hard to understand supernatural things with a natural mind. The blood of Jesus doesn’t just forgive our sins, it erases them completely when we repent and ask for forgiveness. Our Heavenly Father doesn’t even remember our sins once the blood of his son is applied to them. When we forgive people, we still remember what they did even if we aren’t trying to hold it against them. Imagine how much more you would love the people in your life if when they said I’m sorry, you couldn’t remember what they even did. The love of God goes even further and actively chases you down while your in sin trying to get you to repent so He can forgive and forget. I could spend my entire life learning new aspects of the love of the Father and still not scratch the surface. Man it’s good to be saved!!!
At first I had trouble with understanding what the last part of 1 Corinthians 13:5 truly means. Now I know.

God does not love the abominations that satan made on this earth and those dna freaks are not going to heaven. This is a lie and not Biblical to say they are. It is US, made in His image are who Heaven is for. NOT everyone on this planet. God hates and has cursed certain creatures. He has turned His back on them because they Him, and He is on his way to destroy them. It's silly to think every thing on this planet is a creation of God and going to Heaven.
OP did not say that everyone was going to heaven.
As for “dna freaks”, there is no biblical indication that altering dna causes someone to cease being God’s creation, or cut them off from the potential of salvation. If that were the case, everyone would be going to hell as our dna had been naturally mutated and corrupted over thousands of years. Deliberately altering dna is still not a good idea (it’s why I didn’t take Fauci’s death jab), but it has in itself no spiritual consequences.
“For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved”. Romans 10:13
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9
I'm not talking about 'natural' mutation. It's right there in the first sentence.
I have read Genesis thoroughly more times than I can count, and the Flood account neither states nor implies that animals had been “bred with evil” before the Flood, much less that Noah was tasked with finding “clean” animals to put on the Ark.
Excluding the current mRNA vaccines for sake of argument, what precisely do you mean by genetic manipulation for evil? What specific changes to DNA are evil? Either scientific or biblical arguments are acceptable.
I am gonna sound like an asshole here I love my kids no matter what.....And would continue to love them no matter what. I think it's the same deal here. As we are all parts of Him and He us.
I have a much different belief system though. I am very open Pagan/Occultist. I do love God, Source, Spirit, and Jesus......so dont get your balls all twisted over my faith.
I have to use this title, because Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, Muslims all call us heathen, pagans, and what ever because we do not believe in THOSE books.
I am not bashing any Religions here. Stating facts. I personally do not care what someone practices for spirituality. Since most paths lead to the same place.
