Killing God - Part 11 Faith and Doubt

Faith and Doubt

                There is an “atmosphere” in the Kingdom of God. People therein are commanded to “breath love”. ¹⁸⁹ Love is not a substance nor even an emotion. It is a duty because mankind is to love one another! Christians put on spiritual equipment to breath love. Just as the deep-sea diver trusts the tank which is worn, and the attendant who filled it for his very life, Christians trust God for being the author of love, and sharing it with His Holy Spirit. Christians are deep “see” inbibers because with love, Christians have bright eyes! ¹⁹⁰ Regardless how much mates, parents, children, and friends are loved, if it is true love, it has some degree of God’s type of love. If people love as God loves, it is that none should perish. Time and again, that insight shall be written because it is imperative!

                If one person says to another, “I don’t love you, and you’re not my friend but I will be cordial to you,” what is being said?  I will be ameliorating and act as if I’m your friend, but I’m faking it! Love cannot be faked. Love cannot be real unless it’s true! What are the characteristics of love?

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. ¹⁹¹

Hate can fail and will all the time!  Those who hate are insufferable and mean-spirited. The hateful are narcissistic and arrogant. They are rude, and easily provoked, likewise often provoking others. Hateful people are evil minded; the law of sin in readiness at every convenience! Haters rejoice as they sin, are unbearable themselves never bearing others. The hateful are always ready to accept a lie, have no hope, and are lackadaisical. Oftentimes people exhibit true love but it’s for the wrong reasons, most often to magnify themselves, self-justify, or because they are sensitive. Loving without God is faux love. Satan is satisfied with that but God is not! Hence, people seem to be good but if they are not “good” for God’s sake, they’re not good!

Since love is the atmosphere of the Kingdom of God, then faith is from its Generator. ¹⁹² When humans have that bright nature, received at rebirth, that new nature has trust. Unlike Adam, Eve, and Enoch who could see into the heavens, the old creature – the one Satan made – has dim eyes. There is a fog in the atmosphere supplanting the love that was there. Humans are born with that spiritual fog, and God calls on them to breath His air – pure, clean, and well-lighted!  Humans can’t see the love but He is there! That is faith.

Faith provides the love Christians breath. How can Satan best kill God? He sorrows God’s Spirit by exhausting love from the divine atmosphere and leaving it with hatred. Without trusting God, there is no partially polluted atmosphere, it is either hatred or love. One cannot partially love. If so, how is that done? Love endures; love never fails.

Faith is a gift which must be exercised or it’s divine muscles weaken. Anyone can take a gift and then put it away! Many do that. On the other hand, gifts with utility are needed to make life easier. Thus, faith is a work which Christians must use. ¹⁹³ Faith is working through love. Christians breath in the atmosphere of love provided by God, and breath it out to others. From love is generated more love. Love compounds itself! On the other hand, without the work of faith, love degenerates and there is nothing to breath.

The best example of amplifying love is magnifying God together. Those who honor God, breathing the same spiritual air, are said to be of “one accord”. ¹⁹⁴ From accordance, comes Love in the substance of the Holy Spirit.  Since God is love, indeed the Holy Spirit is love! Unity injects more love into the divine atmosphere. Love is the element of life and humans need that so we shall not die!  The will of God is to keep the air pure, not just in His Kingdom but for all to breath. There are not al old and new covenant. God’s will was always the same. That his creatures love Him and one another. God always generated that love for free, and it was free for all! The more the merrier God Is!

Satan, in a futile attempt to make God impotent, is to replace faith with doubt, and love with hatred. Discord is His method. Just as those in harmony with God are in harmony with each other, those in discord with God are discordant with one another. The mob always gets more violent with many voices. When herd mentality is the rule, hatred is the outcome. Hatred is contagious and the closer the proximity of the haters, the more hatred is compounded. Hatred despoils God’s atmosphere. One cannot breathe in love when the atmosphere is polluted with hatred. The law of sin is the true global warming which loving people must fear!

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. ¹⁹⁵

                Those of you who have read Russian History know that when the enemy is about to defeat them, the Russians destroy everything which the enemy can possibly use against them! When Napoleon marched on Moscow, Russia destroyed their city. When Hitler marched on Moscow, the land was destroyed again. Before God will allow Satan to destroy His Kingdom, He will destroy His “footstool” himself to keep His throne. ¹⁹⁶ 

                Satan pollutes the earth with hatred, and the generator of hatred is doubt! For instance, if a sinner doubts God’s Existence, he is more prone to sin. Doing hateful things are natural when punishment is not forthcoming. If a sinner doesn’t believe in Hell, then how God punish? God is just. For those who are serfs to the law of sin become kindling for the turbulent flames of Hell.  Doubt is the weapon of mass destruction which Satan uses to supplant faith.
