> 2b It seems to me that God making people do things they don't want to do is a common motif across the Old and New Testament. I doubt Abraham wanted to sacrifice Issac but God seemingly instructed him to. Joseph didn't want to be betrayed by his own brothers but God allowed it to happen. Seems like all the people God singles out are always given some task or made to undergo some ordeal in order to elevate to better things.
>h_f,
You wrote,[...The God of Abraham...God making people do things they don't want to do... people God singles out..made to undergo some ordeal...].
You know, what I have been writing about here is about what has been revealed to me by the same God that you have identified here. You see, it has been revealed to me that there is a Kingdom in heaven and that we are separated by a Great Gulf from that heavenly kingdom as being in a flesh-state, that has been revealed to me to be death, and that people in the heavenly Kingdom are in a spiritual-state, which has been revealed to me to be life. And it has been revealed to me that we can cross over the Great Gulf that separates us from the heavenly state. And that state there is no pain or suffering in that Kingdom. There is no death or tears in that Kingdom. And it has been revealed to me that that Kingdom is not of this world. And when I had an encounter with One from that Kingdom he said to me, "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness." And I asked hIm what the way was to the His Kingdom. And He said to me, "Through much tribulation we must enter the Kingdom."
Much tribulation? Are not many members here in {much tribulation}? Are there members here in an ordeal? but you see, it has been revealed to me that those in an ordeal stand at the Great Gulf and have the opportunity to respond accordingly and pass from death to life.
And you see there is no pain or tears in the Kingdom. So it has been revealed to me that we can have on earth what is in heaven. And there are no drugs in heaven. There are no criminals in heaven. There is no hate in heaven. There is no depression in heaven. There is no addiction in heaven. and for all those that want to be made free from addiction and depression that One said to me, "It is the Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Yet I then said, "Show me a sign." And He said to me, " No sign shall be given to you except the sign of Jonah."
