I knew a boy since he was seven.....He lived with his father. His father was a narcissist....
....Quite a while later, the son told me he'd spent the nights hiding beneath the staircase, absolutely terrified....
....He grew worse as he grew older and was drawn to unhealthy interests, obsessed with consumer occult, etc. In his late teens he became more disturbed and violent, came to the attention of police. He was a risk taker, unpleasant but able to switch personalities on a sixpence.
People avoided him, he scared them.
He enjoyed scaring them, thought it funny.
......That boy was attacked in my opinion, and carries demons on his shoulder, sometimes to reject and at other times to enjoy them. But can we blame the boy? Almost any child of seven would have been afraid under the circumstances
Most of us have what we regard as 'our guardian angel'. Many children (and adults) are deathly afraid at times, but they're protected. That boy wasn't protected, so became a target. Why some are and others are not protected is something to ponder
Not an innocent child then ?
Something to ponder ?
PZ547,
He had a deep and abiding fear ?
No guardian angel ?
No [spiritual] protection ?
Why so ?
Well, as unfortunate as it is, ....we always see, that it is those who God will not 'touch', that are most subject to terror and fear.
Q.
Why won't God 'touch' such people ?
Q.
Why won't God's angels protect such people ?
Well, there is a very good reason!
THE WICKED....Job 18:11
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
Psalms 5:4
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
PZ547,
Is God harsh ?
YES!
Towards those who
HATE him [...and his 'children'] ?
.
PZ547,
But what of other people, .....what of those people whom God and his angels love [....
or at least, choose to have a care for] ?
"AND LET THEM MAKE ME A SANCTUARY; THAT I MAY DWELL AMONG THEM."PZ547,
Q.
What is a 'sanctuary' ?
Q.
Why does 'God' need a sanctuary ?
Exodus 25:8
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
Exodus 29:45
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
Exodus 29:46
And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.
Leviticus 11:44
For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy:....
Leviticus 19:2
Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
Leviticus 20:26
And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
.
So, our God, chooses some people.
Q.
Why !
Q.
Why is our God [and our creator] so 'discriminating' ?
Psalms 73:1
Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
Suck it up!
Jesus words......
Luke 3:8
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
God does not 'like' unrepentant souls.
But, God states [IN HIS WORD] that he will have mercy upon the
repentant soul.
------------ >
Psalms 25:8
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
.
Here is a tip!
We should not hate God, because he is a discriminating God !
Rather, we should choose to 'change our mind'.
