If God exist, why would he allow all the wickedness in the world? If he was perfect, why would he allow a snake into the garden to decieve Eve?

Many do not know this but if we study the scriptures we should eventually learn the truth. See, all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God but Jesus said if we believe, we shall see Gods glory. Do you know what the glory of God is? Scripture says that some within the church have exchanged the glory of God for corruptible things like man, animals, or other things. Yet many do not know what the glory of God is. See, when Moses was on the mount, the glory of God passed before him. Is it this glory we have fallen from? God hates all workers of iniquity and those who love violence. Yet many refuse to believe that a God of love can hate them. Remember when God decided to speak through prophets? Those released from the fiery furnace of Egypt asked Moses to speak with them, lest the power of God kill them. Many don't know this but God shuns the world in various ways. Many wonder why God does not show himself. If he existed he would show himself right? Well that depends. If you read the scriptures you will see that God hides his face from the wicked. Even Jesus told his disciples that they would see him but the world would not. Many refuse to believe that God hates the wicked. Well, how else would you explain why he does what he does? See, even our prayers are rejected when we disregard the will of God. When one is wicked, their worship, prayers, and servitude are rejected. They are shunned in various ways. Does that make sense? See, when God hides his face and rejects the people, he allows calamity to come upon them. This is one reason why the world is in such a bad shape. If people want the protection of God, they should do his will. Same with God answering their prayers. The wicked can cry and cry and cry to God only for him to shun them, just like ancient Israel. Then there is the situation of Adam and Eve. Why would a perfect God who knows the future place a tree in the garden of Eden and allow a snake to decieve Eve? Not only that but why would God allow Satan to continue to do the things he does? Many don't know this but God likes to test the heart to see what lies within and he uses Satan to do this. Have you heard the promise of God that is about him refining his children as gold? Why would God allow Satan to sift Peter as wheat? If you read the book of Job, you can see that God is not only testing him but refining him as gold, while using Satan to do so. It's all a part of the plan. See, in our world we create a product, then we test that product. If the product passes the test, it goes out to make a profit. Somewhat like the children of God. He gives them life, trains them, then test them in a fiery furnace of affliction. If they pass, they can advance the kingdom of God. Does this make sense? So if you are wicked, do not expect the promises of God to become your reality. If you want him to be your God and you his people, you must worship him in spirit and truth. Then he will manifest himself to you. If not, he will continue to shun you.

It doesn't make sense and its not what the Gnostics say.

The False god wants you to think he created the Universe.

That is his claim, he wanted to be seen as the prime creator.

He was one of the Archons who became the Demiurge.

The demiurge is a half god.

He is one of the gods with a little g not the God with a big G.

Yaldaboath became the Demiurge when he said that he was the only creator god. That was a Blasphemy against all eternity.

The Lord of the Garden was one of the old pagan gods, one of the Archons he was not the Creator of All.

Internal struggle played out externally.

So...basically satan is inside you as well as GOD. But without access to the Holy Spirit (called by GOD; bible says the Spirit (is in prison)) satan is in control of people.

It's collective to some degree and there are subconscious entities used as portals for angels and demons (bible calls them spittle).

The reason why "GOD allows it" is to jar those still sleeping awake based on the insanity of things going on around them...basically. I have the Holy Spirit, am in the baptism of Christ, and am doing HIS will and HE still allows them to do some of these things to me. Usually it's because I'm doing something that shows flesh attachment...want vs. need. You can't stockpile anything with the Holy Spirit it'll get destroyed...well holes in it as it relates to clothes, sometimes stuff just goes missing like you never bought it, holes in cans of soda or juice if you already have "enough". Loosely I try to use a 5 day metric...if you have enough for 5 days it's okay. Obviously it doesn't relate to certain things like toothpaste and soap.

Be the best person you can be, and stop worrying about stories.
Live to know that when you die you have done the best you could in any way.
Love, and love comes with hard work just like anything else, and persevere in those two things, and you need not worry about anything else, you have done what most men cannot.
hard work and living a good moral life, that is all you can do. You will die in good consciousness, and know how to fly free from there on.

For the same reason God let Jerusalem fall twice on the same day. Most religious scholars don't even know that that on August 11th first when the Persians invaded Jerusalem and second when Rome did. God will allow his followers to fall when they don't listen to Him. God has a day to correct his flock and that day is August 11th.

The Archons cannot create, they can only manipulate.

They didnt really create Earth out of nothing like you think a god would, instead they destroyed the planet Tiamat and Earth was formed out of its Remains.


They didnt really create Adam and Eve, they blended their DNA with the Primitive Primate humanoids they found on the new Earth.

That is not creation, its Manipulation.


They are only the Builders of the Great Architect.

How can you know what is good if you only know good. And not the cost and effort spent to make good


Of course God planned us to fall. If he didnt plan for it, he would have never left the garden. As you cannot be with sin in his presence. Only knowing love without knowing the effort and cost behind it is surely a death sentence. As a child who doesnt have any wants surely spoils. God says his wrath will destroy you but his love will too. Look at satan and Israel. Both his favorites and given more than the rest. And both became complacent and felt some sense of entitlement. Causing spiritual blindness and eventually both the highest angel and the chosen nation fall from God.

This is all being done to create the relationship beteeen man and god that fulfills his desire to be known.

We are so capable of creating something beautiful and in the same tearing it apart. when it is going to end?
We want peace and love so much, but are the first to reject the easy way.
We want someone to come and make it better, but we are the ones who have to make it better.
We want the supernatural to take over and change us in a second, and even doom to take all the pain away, but it's never going to happen.

These evil beings pretending to be god hate humans and feed on you by causing negativity, they are psychic vampires that are actually afraid of you, and that you may figure out that you are their god. They have hijacked your reality. They also "pray" on you when you worship them, they require it and for you to fear them or they threaten you with eternal punishment. They are disgusting cowards that don't deserve to exist and they won't very soon.

Do you really think Yahshua threatened people with death if they did not fear and worship him. Do you really think Yahshua would approve of the torture and killing of the Cathars or anyone for that matter. The bible has been mixed with lies and truth, their is Yahshua and satan in the bible to confuse you into submitting to a demon that is going to eat your soul and many of you are going to give it up willingly.

Christ came and done away with the ten commandments. We are to be the best we can be and love each other. When you give commandments they are worth nothing, because they are broken right away. Laws and Commandments are only put forth because once they are said you are held accountable....it's wrong!!!

Look at the world around you, do you not know that the more laws are given the worse it gets?!!!!

Christ said to love. That's it!!! love...love love love, and love some more!


Christ said he did not come to take away the law but to fulfill the law...and he did just that! if you take all the laws and put them into one action you would have light, and love.

God does have the power to control freewill. One night I was praying. I told God that I was willing to work the next day if he wanted me to do so. Then I looked at my work schedule to find out that I was not scheduled that day. So I apologized to God for a wasted prayer. Well, the next day I received a call to come into work. Therefore my prayer wasn't a waste after all. So my advice to you is this. Have faith and try to do EVERYTHING God has commanded you to do. For man liveth not on bread alone but every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Good luck..

See, even our prayers are rejected when we disregard the will of God. When one is wicked, their worship, prayers, and servitude are rejected. They are shunned in various ways. Does that make sense? See, when God hides his face and rejects the people, he allows calamity to come upon them. This is one reason why the world is in such a bad shape. If people want the protection of God, they should do his will. Same with God answering their prayers. The wicked can cry and cry and cry to God only for him to shun them, just like ancient Israel. Then there is the situation of Adam and Eve. Why would a perfect God who knows the future place a tree in the garden of Eden and allow a snake to decieve Eve? Not only that but why would God allow Satan to continue to do the things he does? Many don't know this but God likes to test the heart to see what lies within and he uses Satan to do this. Have you heard the promise of God that is about him refining his children as gold? Why would God allow Satan to sift Peter as wheat? If you read the book of Job, you can see that God is not only testing him but refining him as gold, while using Satan to do so. It's all a part of the plan. See, in our world we create a product, then we test that product. If the product passes the test, it goes out to make a profit. Somewhat like the children of God. He gives them life, trains them, then test them in a fiery furnace of affliction. If they pass, they can advance the kingdom of God. Does this make sense? So if you are wicked, do not expect the promises of God to become your reality. If you want him to be your God and you his people, you must worship him in spirit and truth. Then he will manifest himself to you. If not, he will continue to shun you.

I struggle with these exact things and thoughts all the time. I have tried time, upon time, upon time, to find work and I have not been able to. I can get the interview but so far never a job. It stinks! However, I also have some physical ailments and my age I think is now becoming a factor in hiring. I am 51. However, I often fear I have done something that has offended God. On the other hand, perhaps it's protection in some way.

God does have the power to control freewill. One night I was praying. I told God that I was willing to work the next day if he wanted me to do so. Then I looked at my work schedule to find out that I was not scheduled that day. So I apologized to God for a wasted prayer. Well, the next day I received a call to come into work. Therefore my prayer wasn't a waste after all. So my advice to you is this. Have faith and try to do EVERYTHING God has commanded you to do. For man liveth not on bread alone but every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Good luck..

Many do not know this but if we study the scriptures we should eventually learn the truth. See, all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God but Jesus said if we believe, we shall see Gods glory. Do you know what the glory of God is? Scripture says that some within the church have exchanged the glory of God for corruptible things like man, animals, or other things. Yet many do not know what the glory of God is. See, when Moses was on the mount, the glory of God passed before him. Is it this glory we have fallen from? God hates all workers of iniquity and those who love violence. Yet many refuse to believe that a God of love can hate them. Remember when God decided to speak through prophets? Those released from the fiery furnace of Egypt asked Moses to speak with them, lest the power of God kill them. Many don't know this but God shuns the world in various ways. Many wonder why God does not show himself. If he existed he would show himself right? Well that depends. If you read the scriptures you will see that God hides his face from the wicked.

Yes, it is the will of God to work six days a week, for those who can. Christians being beheaded for God is also a part of his will. Scripture says that Gods people die to be taken away from evil. Gods will is Gods will, no matter how insignificant it seems.

Who do you believe in more? Christ? or God?

Be the best person you can be, and stop worrying about stories.
Live to know that when you die you have done the best you could in any way.
Love, and love comes with hard work just like anything else, and persevere in those two things, and you need not worry about anything else, you have done what most men cannot.
hard work and living a good moral life, that is all you can do. You will die in good consciousness, and know how to fly free from there on.
 Quoting: ~Ring of Eternity~


Love is to keep the commandments of God. We are saved by grace, through faith, which is dead, without works. We must worship him in spirit and truth. Nothing else is acceptable. Only God has the power to allow someone to live a "good moral life."
 Quoting: Toonz


Christ came and done away with the ten commandments. We are to be the best we can be and love each other. When you give commandments they are worth nothing, because they are broken right away. Laws and Commandments are only put forth because once they are said you are held accountable....it's wrong!!!

Look at the world around you, do you not know that the more laws are given the worse it gets?!!!!

Christ said to love. That's it!!! love...love love love, and love some more!


Christ said he did not come to take away the law but to fulfill the law...and he did just that! if you take all the laws and put them into one action you would have light, and love.
 Quoting: ~Ring of Eternity~


That is heresy. The sheep of God do not listen to strangers but would flee instead. You are one of those strangers. Please, stop telling me lies.

Christ was sent by God. What he taught he received from God. So I would say the Father..

Simple answer.

This life is but the snap of the fingers compared to eternity.

God is teaching us all a lesson here and now.

Without Him, this is the world we get.

It's really that simple.
