Today I examined that other colorful side. Today, I will only talk about hope, trust and faith. According to dictionary "The belief or expectation that something wished for can or will happen is hope." Today I learned that there are two types of hope, negative one and positive one. Religions always teach to trust in God (positively). We normally hope well from a good person. But what about hope and trust in God? Whenever I listened to a sermon they always say "trust for better tomorrow". But every picture has two sides. One is just white and one is so deep that everyone can find imperfections in details. Lets get a picture of personality and powers of God. The God we know have all the powers and most prominent one is that he put to death and bring to life. God alone can do this. There are 60 good personality traits discussed in
this article.
ALSO
God
•God takes away Adam and Eve's eternal life, thus commiting the
first murder, and holds their descendants responsible and visiting Adam and
Eve's punishment down on their children. In today's moral standards, the sins of
the father die with the father.
•God destroys all life on Earth in a great
flood, except for a drunk (Noah) and his family, for failing to worship him.
•God's tenth plague upon the Israelites was the unjustified murder of all
firstborn sons in Egypt, which undoubtedly included little children.
•Before
sending the plagues to Egypt, God "hardened Pharaoh's heart" so that he wouldn't
let the Israelites go, so he could have an excuse to visit horrible plagues upon
them, like boils, killing cattle and murdering all firstborn sons.
•God orders the Levites to kill their "every man and his neighnor" for
worshipping another god. This cost 3000 lives.
•God sends a
plague to the Israelites, apparently feeling that mass-butchery wasn't enough of
a punishment.
•God kills Onan for refusing to impregnate his
late brother's (whom God also slew) wife and instead "spilling his seed on the
ground."
•God kills the entire populations of Soddom and
Gammorah (again, including women, children and infants) for practicing certain
sexual techniques.
•God gives all Philistines hemorrhoids in their pubic
areas.
•God kills over 50,000 people for looking at an ark.
•God kills 70,000 people because King David decided to have
a census.
•God approves of slavery, and instructs
owners to beat their slaves.
•And, finally, God makes sure
that if you are guilty of even the smallest transgression, you shall suffer
endlessly for all eternity, following a dramatic homecoming for Jesus, who will
be extremely pissed off at everyone for putting him to death, even though it was
just the Romans and even though he knew what was going to happen beforehand, and
he could have easily avoided it by using his power as God to perform a miracle
and prove who he was. (See the entire book of Revelation)
Satan
•Satan, like Prometheus, gave knowledge to humanity by giving Eve the
fruit from the forbidden tree. Because of Satan, humanity gained knowledge of
good and evil, according to Genesis. Since we couldn't have possessed knowledge
of good and evil before eating the fruit, Adam and Eve couldn't have known that
eating the fruit was evil, so it seems a little harsh to punish them as severely
as God did. Satan gave humans true capacity for moral judgment, unlike God, who
simply expected everyone to mindlessly obey his orders.
•There is no
biblical record of Satan engaging in the murder of torture of any human being,
unlike God, who is guilty (and proudly guilty) of commiting genocide.
•There
is no biblical record of Satan ever ordering someone to kill someone else,
unlike God, who has repeatedly demanded the deaths of those who commit even the
smallest of offenses.
•Satan will not be holding a massively dramatic
ceremony full of blood and death for the return of his son to Earth. God
apparently will.
This simply makes a negative trait of good God. Now you know that if He gets angry He can kill. You can take other examples which are around you. When one die at the time when his /her family needs him/her for support. So what you think God just didn't cared about his/her family?
From this what can I hope from God? That he will take my life when someone really needs me? Here, I can think that will protect people who have good connection with God. Then how can someone define this - Satan will come to God and say "God I want to test your man" and God will say ok go ahead. Then I and my family will be in great trouble. Will He don't look at my family and keep us safe?
Here, I am not concerned about my life. I am concerned about my family and it really gets ugly to think like that. But one should have to look from every perspective in life.
