PEEPING THE OTHER SIDE WHERE SIN, EVIL, SUFFERING AND DEATH ARE ABSENT IN GOD'S CREATION.
THIS ARTICLE UNFOLDS GOD'S ULTIMATE PLAN FOR
THE PURPOSE OF SIN, SUFFERING, EVIL AND DEATH.



This article is going to focus on how the world would be without sin to which God assigned, suffering and death as penalty. This time I am directing my attention to :

• Global Population
• Quantum Of God's Glory
• Free-will
• God's Justice, Mercy, Grace And Love


The word of God reveals his plan for humanity, sin, evil suffering, death and judgment of all people. We know that God is supreme over everything, he knows everything, he can do anything that pleases him and can use any situation(s) to secure what he desires or fulfill his will.

He cannot be stopped, no body can advise him on what to do.
Let's go back to the beginning when man had not yet eaten of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, this is the focus of this article. Comparing how things would be without the sin of Adam because the whole world is currently in a post-fall Adamic state.

Before going further, let's first identify the state of man and earth before disobedience.

• Death is absent
• Knowledge of good and evil is missing
• The Tempter is present
• Procreation of man not yet active
• Disease and suffering are missing
• Worship and prayer are absent
• God directly talks to man

To mention but a few, the above are part of state of the world before sin, evil and death.

God's ultimate plan is concealed in the current state of the world, he hasn't failed, he didn't fail and Jesus is not plan B.

Well, let's take a look at how the world would be without sin and death and compare.

√ HOW THE SYSTEMS WOULD RUN OR BE.

• Global Population

The LORD GOD after creating Human beings, male and female said "Have many children so that your descendants will live all over the earth..." (Genesis 1:27-28)
Human beings were to have descendants which means they must bear children through their physical union without any divine or angelic intervention.

They would live to see all their descendants since there would be no death. The population of earth would rise to the highest number that every part of the earth would be filled with human beings except for the fish, animals and birds. As these are to provide food for man, their population would be regulated by being killed for food.

This continually distending population would require God to extend or be extending the circumference of the earth to make it more spacious for his people to dwell in as population regulatory mechanism.

However, God didn't allow the above to happen. He instead permitted sin which later led to death thus regulating human population. (Romans 6:23) "For sin pays its wage --- death..."

Now we know, death being a result of sin, also acts as a tool God uses to regulate world population. In heaven, marriage is abolished to regulate the population there, look here: The Lord Jesus answered Sadducees, "For when the dead rise to life, they will be like angels in heaven and will not marry". (Matthew 22:30)

Finally concerning population, the significance of death in God's creation, is to regulate world population, and from the above bible verse we see that God will not allow procreation in heaven, he will do this as another tool for population regulation because death the former regulator will be done away with absolutely. (Revelation 21: 4).

Therefore the significance of death in God's creation is to regulate the world population. Another evidence to population regulation is perpetual abolishment of procreation in heaven. This is also to regulate the population there, where there will neither be increase nor decrease of human population.

• Quantum Of God's Glory

As seen and explained in Global Population, without death the population of this world would be so high and would require a regulating mechanism. People would be so many yet God would not receive the amount of glory he wants since what makes people glorify him would be absent apart from the only glory for being the Creator.

Before diving deep into this issue, let's first take a glance at events or happenings or things which cause glory to God, these are also tools for God's glory.

√ Disease
√ Sin
√ Natural Evil
√ Death

To mention but a few the events or situations above, are part of what God uses to bring glory to himself and for the good of those he has called according to his will.
Note to the reader: I am only going to explain Sin and Disease or Natural Evil under Quantum Of God's Glory.

√ Disease or Natural Evil

God uses disease to discipline, test fidelity, patience and to bring more good to those who love him. See the story of Job who suffered a chronic sickness, God permitted Satan to do this to Job knowing that Job would get more good things and he (God) would get more glory.
What if nothing happened to Job?

° Job would not get more blessings (cattle,sheep, camels, donkeys and many beautiful daughters)
° God would not receive more glory because he would have done nothing. By healing Job and giving him more blessings, brought much more glory to God and this is what he wanted. Please read full story of Job to get more details in his book.

√ Sin

Without sin, we would not have known the grace of God. Sin prompts man to seek forgiveness of his creator because it makes one feel guilty and broken thus prompting him to seek and come closer to God which later results in glorifying him for forgiveness of sins and free salvation.

But the main aim of sin as read in many scriptures is to cause man know love, mercy and grace of God.

Let's look back to the warning God gave Adam about the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. He said to Adam "You may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden, except the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and bad. You must not eat the fruit of that tree, if you do, you will die the same day." (Genesis 2:16, Garden Of Eden).

The part of the verse above which shows Gold's mercy is "You will die the same day", this is to be interpreted literally. No matter the admonition to die "The same day", Adam together with his wife, go ahead and eat the fruit after the serpent lying to his wife, she persuades him to eat the fruit forgetting he would die the same day.

Finally Adam ate the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:6, Garden Of Eden) but didn't die the same "Day" as God had said. This is God's mercy, Adam wouldn't have known the mercy of God if he (God) killed him that very day.
Therefore Adam and his wife didn't receive what they deserved that day they sinned. This is the mercy of God. From the Scripture, Adam lived up to a ripe age of 930 years as written in Genesis 5:5.

Another Scripture is here to show that sin helps man know the mercy of God,
"For God has locked all people in the prison of their disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all" (Romans 11:32).

• Free-will

One of the most controversial concepts between theologians and philosophers of all ages is Free-will. Here, I will direct my attention to:

√ Why God allowed Free-will
√ The Purpose Of Free-will

Free-will is a very wide concept to exhaust, for this reason I will explain in detail. Before going further, let me first outline the products of Free-will before and after the Fall Of Man.

° Good
° Evil

Free-will whatever you call it existed before and after the entry of sin and death into this world, however as seen in Scripture, only one product of it was active (Good) "God looked at everything he had made, and he was very pleased..." (Genesis 1:31). God was pleased because of the goodness of what he had created. It's not rational to deny that Man, had no knowledge of good when what God had created was really "Good".
The LORD GOD created man with the ability to make free choices but within the circle of his nature and abilities because he (man) was made in the image of God. (Genesis 1:27).

Back to the point, in an unfallen world, Free-will would not be completely exercised as one of its two products (Evil) would be missing or inactive because we see that before human wickedness, Evil is absolutely missing and emerges later from Free-will by both Satan and Man as the final product of it when the knowledge of Evil was made known to Man.
|| Why God created man with Free-will?

` He desired that Man choose between obeying him or disobeying him which would lead to death.

` He desired Man to choose to love him, worship him from his own decision and love without being naturally programmed to do so even with the knowledge of evil. This is the kind of love and worship that God has always desired and comes only from human beings who are living in a world of good and evil.

` To know the absolute goodness of God, without absolute knowledge of what is evil, absolute knowledge of what is good cannot be known. These two kinds of knowledge work together and the LORD integrated them in one fruit, see (Genesis 2:9).

Finally concerning Free-will, the LORD GOD desired that Man be able to make free choices based on his desires and decisions just like himself. This is the meaning of being "Morally Free" as opposed to other creatures of God.
If God wasn't interested in the freedom of Man, he would not make any fruit that would finally unmask the absolute knowledge of Good and Evil to Man. Also the Serpent would have nothing to lie about to Eve, through Free-will, God attains the very kind of glory he has ever desired.

To be morally free means to be able to exercise all the products of Free-will, morally, one may choose to do good and another bad or both and as free moral agent, is responsible for the outcomes of his or her choices.

Therefore the main purpose of Free-will is to let Man enjoy the freedom of being created in God's image.

1. The freedom to choose to love him or not.
2. The freedom to worship him or not.
3. The freedom to do good or bad.

• God's Justice, Mercy, Grace And Love

There are so many passages in the Bible that show the justice, mercy, grace and love of God.
Let me explain each with scriptural back up beginning with:

• Justice

Getting what one deserves is the simplest definition of justice. In scriptures, this has many examples.
A good illustration on Justice is when a man who raped an engaged woman, was stoned to death according to the standard of the Law concerning sexual purity, read (Deut22:22). Justice requires repayment or an action that causes equality between two parties and it cannot exist without equality.
A person who steals is supposed to pay back what he or she steals.

However is a world without crime, Justice would not be known neither would it be exercised because there would be no case in which to exercise it.

Therefore the significance of crimes in the world is to cause Man to know that God is just as he will finally punish creatures that have committed crimes without penance and repentance.

• The Mercy Of God

Without wrong doing, God's mercy would remain unknown. Nobody would know that God can exercise Mercy on those who err.
By a simple definition, Mercy means not to get what one deserves or absolution from punishment or not to be dealt with as required by the Law or any given standards. Mercy is exemplified in [John 8:1-11] by Jesus when the woman who was caught in the act of adultery, didn't receive the corporeal punishment of being stoned to death as required by the Jewish Law. See (Deut22:23-24) that requires both victims to be stoned to death. A woman was to die in this case unlike in other cases due to her consent.
Jesus traps the Pharisees with a fact by saying, "Whichever one of you has committed no sin may throw the first stone at her".

The woman being absolved from punishment directly indicates that she did not get what she deserved according to the Jewish Law.
Therefore the woman in this cases receives the Mercy of God which would neither be known nor received in a world without transgression.
The purpose of transgression is also to reveal God's mercy on transgressors which would remain unknown in absence of sin.

• God's Grace

Mercy deprives one of getting what they deserve in natters of sin, Grace not only does that, it goes ahead and rewards the criminal with good things! We are all sinners by heredity, the wage of sin is death as read in (Romans 6:23). God's Grace forgives a sinner like a felon who deserves death and on top of that, gives him or her a gift ----eternal life. In this case, we see that the felon is not mandated to pay for the crime and besides that, he is given a free gift. This is the Grace of God. Another good example of God's Grace is when the thief on the right side of the Lord on the cross was forgiven of his sins and given a chance to be in paradise with the Lord. Read full story in(Luke 23:39-43).

Finally concerning God's grace, in a world without sin, people would not know that God could forgive criminals and give them eternal life on the basis of their faith as written in the letters of apostle Paul.
Therefore another purpose of sin is to unmask the Grace of God to those who turn and believe.

• God's Love

Both Mercy and Grace came from God's Love. Neither of the two would exist without Love. From the Scriptures, God's love was revealed to this world through his Son he sent to this world. See (John3:16) For God to send his Son was an act of love, for the Son die for sins of people was an act of love. The death of Christ though didn't eliminate physical death, paid the price for our sins whose wage is both spiritual and physical death. Therefore the death of Christ eliminated spiritual turmoil for those who turn and believe in him.

Another good show of God's love is by God creating Man in his image, unlike other creatures, Man alone was given the image of God as read in Genesis 1:27. Man unlike other creatures is a special creature of God, why?

√ Man was given a world --- earth unlike angels.
√ Man was given a chance to repent unlike angels.
√ God came to this world in likeness of Man not as an angel.
√ Man can procreate unlike angels, angels alone can procreate. They are direct creatures.
√ Man is both spiritual and physical unlike angels. Well, angels can sometimes become physical but are not allowed to be in this mode for ever or for long.

God has chosen to love Man specially compared to other creatures.

Well, after a long way of explaining the purpose of sin, evil, suffering and death, we arrive at a conclusion that "All things work together for the glory of God and the good of those he has called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).
The light cannot be known without darkness, goodness cannot absolutely be known without evil and therefore God creates both the light and darkness, good and evil (Isaiah) 45:7).

• Does God Partake In Evil Doing?

Man and Satan are both products of God's will, therefore he can use them as he wants. From the beginning, the Scriptures show that God was pleased with what he had created indicating it was good, see the story of creation in Genesis 1 and the following.

Before the knowledge of Good and Evil was revealed, everything was intact in and out meaning it was perfect. The book of Genesis indicates it's God who created everything including the Tree whose fruits revealed the knowledge of Good and Evil.

Therefore from a rational perspective, the LORD GOD created Good and Evil by planting the Tree which contained the knowledge that would later lead to the fall of Man thus sin, evil suffering and death entered the world.

God indirectly permitted Good and Evil by planting the Tree whose fruits when eaten, revealed knowledge of what is good and bad and allowing Satan to tempt Man via the Serpent, but it is Man who activated evil when he yielded to the lies of Satan by eating the Forbidden Fruit therefore, it's Satan and Man who partake in wrong doing by doing what the Lord God forbids but everything God created was good and had a purpose including the Forbidden Fruit.

Author's Strong Conclusions.

Before God created the universe, he first planned how it would be and how he would run it. It's no doubt the knowledge of Good and Evil is reason why Man can distinguish what is good from what is naturally or morally bad. This knowledge is also the reason for the introduction of Moral Codes by God.

God could have planted the Forbidden Fruit and the Tree of life for the following reasons:

• To test fidelity of Man. God perhaps wanted to know whether Man was really faithful to him by obeying his command even in his absence.

• To prompt Man to choose between the knowledge of Good and Evil and eternal life. Man eventually chose to "Know" what is good and bad over eternal life.

Therefore in conclusion of this article, Man was just "Made" to disobey God by Satan. He (man) is held accountable for his disobedient act because of the command God has given him "Not to eat or touch" the Forbidden Fruit, the Serpent is held accountable for twisting the truth of God into a lie so both are punishable by God for doing what is not good or contrary to the command of God.

Now God uses both Good and Evil for his glory and for the good of those who choose to love him.

Carefully reading the book of Genesis, indirectly reveals that these events concerning the Fall of Man are indirect plans of God, being fulfilled through agency.
God is an independent being, doing things as he wills. The limits of our free moral will was predetermined by him and cannot go beyond. Simply put, our free will is within God's will. When we misuse our freewill, it becomes bad because it is being disorderly. Our free will being inside God's will doesn't directly mean it's inline with his because we have a free choice to use it the way we want. but within how God allowed.
Rationally, sin, evil suffering and death are events within God's will executed via agency.

There is no other satisfying and absolute rational reason(s) besides God's will for the agony and death in this world as he alone is supreme in power, authority and knowledge. Even our Free-will was predetermined by God's will, meaning God already knows what we can do and what we cannot according to the natural abilities he gave us.

We are worth of judgement because of the natural ability to distinguish good from evil.

Questions : °Would God get or be getting the quantum and quality of glory he gets now without these things ?

√ Satan
√ Sin
√ Evil
√ Suffering
√ Death

°Why did God create the Forbidden Fruit?
° Why did God allow Satan to tempt Man?
° How did Satan know the true nature of the Forbidden Fruit?
° Why Sexual knowledge was only perceived after knowing the knowledge of Good and Evil?

Foot Note:
√ If you found this article helpful, share it with your friends and loved ones.

These two states and places are of suffering and anguish therefore Jesus doesn't like one to end up there.
They were made for those who don't reverence God and those that trample on the precious blood of Jesus Christ and reject him as a propitiation for their transgressions and for this reason , they shall be cast into these places for temporary and permanent torture and torment.

Let's begin by unfolding one by one and Hades first.
1. Temporary Destination

What is hell or hades and where is it located?
• Hell is a temporary spiritual realm, the abode of the dead (Job17:16), the inferno regions located under the earth or in the heart of earth where souls of the wicked, the unsaved are confined for temporary torture with fire. This is found in the story of Lazarus and the rich man who died and was cast into this region and fire caused anguish to his soul. He shouted, "Father Abraham! Take pity on me, and send Lazarus to dip his finger in some water and cool my tongue because I am in great pain in this fire!" (Luke 16:24)
For the state of hell is likened to this, where one is in extreme anguish however cannot see death. This is temporary torture awaiting anyone who dies unsaved, anyone who yields up their ghost out side the grace of God. Souls in hell are being tortured by a spiritual fire, a literal fire cannot harm the souls. It can only burn the flesh which is physical and therefore tangible. Souls in inferno regions or hell are there temporarily waiting for the final judgment and destination.

2. Final Destination
• The Lake Of Fire that is described in Revealation after the Great White Throne Judgement is the final destination of all unsaved souls, the Beast, False Prophet and the Devil himself, shall be cast first after their defeat. (Revelation19:20, 20:10).
The Lake Of Fire is different from hell in that it is the final destination of both hades, death, Satan, Antichrist, and the False Prophet, it burns with sulphur and also called the "Brimstone Fire" or the "Second Death"
"Then the sea gave up it's dead. Death and the world of the dead also gave up the dead they held. And all were judged according to what they had done. Then death and the world of the dead were thrown into the lake of fire. (This is the second death). Whoever didn't have their names written in the book of the living were thrown into the the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:11-15).
The Lake Of Fire will consume every weed that the enmy sawed among the seeds, the adversary himself and death itself and this is the beginning of making things "New" where the principal adversary of our souls and death are permanently terminated what a great ecstacy this is to the saved!

• Summing Up
Hell is real and exists, anyone that die unsaved in Christ their souls are cast into hell under the earth where they are tortured daily waiting for the final judgment. After the final judgment, the weeds shall be separated from wheat and cast into a perpetual place of forever torment ,a place and state of ultimate anguish without any hope for future salvation thus the end of death and salvation.

Repent and get saved while there is still time, for there is no repentance and forgiveness of those who die unsaved.

From the beginning the Devil was a murderer the father of all lies and up to date he continues to deceive and stray masses from God by masquerading as one of the truth through veiled deception in various things and by his art of disguised deception, he no doubt leads multitudes of people to perpetual destruction. He is the principal adversary of man, the cause of continuous lawlessness and wickedness nevertheless due to deficiency of knowledge about his true nature, the vast part of the world follows him.

The Devil has three missions which he is working hard to bring to a successful end.

Mission One : To Steal

From the very beginning, Satan deceived or lied to Eve about what the LORD GOD had commanded Eve and Adam not to touch nor eat of, Genesis 3: 1-4 the serpent asked the woman "Did God really tell you not to eat any tree in the garden? 'We may eat of any trees in the garden' "the woman answered, "except the tree in the middle of it". God told us not to eat the fruit of that tree or even touch, if we do, we will die"
The snake replied "That is not true, you will not die".I In the words of serpent, a lie is perceived, "You will not die" which was not true. After Eve yielding in to the lie of Satan, the truth that God had told them about what would happen after eating of the fruit that He had forbidden, was stolen from her by deception of the Devil about the consequence.
The Devil first deceives before he steals just like a common thief.

Mission two : To Murder Or Kill
John 8 : 44 "... He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth."
Satan kills or murders in many different ways, he injects the spirit of jealousy and hate into the hearts people and they are seduced to kill their brothers and sisters and even parents over trivial matters.
We notice this in the event that took place in the story of Cain and Abel where Cain innocently murdered his brother Abel due to jealousy after his offering was rejected by the LORD because it was offered out of selfishness. After Cain's offering being rejected by the Lord, Satan injected jealousy into his heart which made him to murder his innocent brother.
See full story in Genesis 4:1-18. This is one of the ways through which Satan murders remember he uses people to carry out his desire just like God does and for this reason Christians need to be careful and know how to manage resentment.

Mission three :To Destroy
Since Satan is the father of all lies and the master at the art of disguise, through deception he leads many people to destruction.
Destruction is divided into two parts,

• Physical destruction which is the damage he causes to people through the use of sicknesses and illnesses that scientifical medicine cannot cure except the healing power of God. This is found in the story of a woman who bled for twelve years and had tried so many kinds of treatments but all in vain and the man who was dumb. See Matthew 9: 18-22, 9: 32- 34 respectively.
• Spiritual destruction.
The scriptures call them "The sons of disobedience" the ones that do the will of their father the Devil who's destined for perpetual destruction. When Satan deceives man and finally dies in his deception, that man goes to permanent spiritual destruction where the Devil himself shall be cast.
"Whoever didn't have their names written in the book of life were thrown into the lake of fire" Revealation 20:15, 20:9.

"Then the Devil who deceived them was thrown in the lake of fire and sulphur...."

These are three principal missions of Satan in detail, Christians be keen and put on the whole armor of God lest you are deceived and be led to spiritual destruction.
These are found in John 10:10.

A lot of people ask , "Where do I depart after my death? Does my life end here? "
Before proceeding, we need to first of all know the meaning of death and it's types. God created human beings as "Ensouled Bodies" and "Embodied Souls" .That is, bodies with souls and souls wrapped inside bodies. God's first purpose was based on "Everlasting" union, that is no separation of the two.
But after the Fall Of Man, [Genesis 3] God pronounced a curse - Death on human race including every other creatures on earth. Now the whole world is under the curse of death.
The question is, what is death? According to Eccl 12: 7, death is a separation of things that ought to be together. "Our bodies will return to the dust of the earth and the breath of life will go back to God who gave it to us."

Now it's definite that death is a separation of soul from body, death rips our souls from our bodies, the breaking of the principle of life on earth. The principle of life on earth is a union of soul and body, these two must be together for one to live on earth.
That explained, where does my soul depart after I die? Now before going farther on the above question, we need to first of all know the temporary and perpetual destinations of souls.

Before The Coming Of Jesus Christ.

Prior to the coming of Christ, the destination of souls had one place called Hades or Sheol located in the heart of earth. "I call to you LORD, don't let me be disgraced. May the wicked be disgraced ,may they go down to the world of the dead " Psalms 31:17.
Hades or Sheol was divided into two parts and separated by a great chasm (Bottomless Pit) so that there was no crossing over. Luke 16:19-22 the story of Lazarus and the rich man. One side of Hades was a place of comfort for the righteous where all saints of the Old Testament used to stay while another side was for the wicked, a place of temporary torment and pain where the rich man went. Luke 19: 22-23.
Note this, Hades is not the permanent place of souls after death.

After The Coming Of Jesus Christ.

Some people ask besides our salvation, why did Jesus die? This question is not common and so the answer.
All the saints of Old Testament before the resurrection of Jesus were in Hades, in a part of the one for the righteous or Paradise or the Bossom of Abraham.
Jesus died "Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Father in your hands I place my spirit", He said this and died (Like 23:46).
Following His death the Lord departed to Sheol, to the part of the righteous where Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all other saints of Old Testament were and ripped its gates off its hinges. These saints had stayed there for long not having received the promise of God.
Following His way up to heaven, Jesus went together with these saints direct into presence of God to stay there. Philippians1:23. God, Jesus Christ, saints and angels stay in the third height or heaven.

Where Does My Soul Depart After I Die Now?

After Jesus ripping the gates of Sheol the part of the righteous, paradise is no longer in the heart of earth. A soul that is truely saved in Christ departs direct into the presence of His heavenly throne to enjoy the goodness of God.
Note To The Reader: Hades- the side of the wicked still exists. A soul that is not saved in Christ departs to this place, the abode of the dead for temporary torment waiting for the final judgment.

The final destination of unsaved souls is Brimstone Fire, the Lake Of Fire, a place of perpetual torment with no future hope of salvation. A total alienation from God or second death. Rev20 :11.
A new earth and heaven are being prepared by God for the righteous.

Writer's Final Word

Make peace with God before it's too late for you by accepting His Son Jesus Christ, we are saved by the grace of God through our faith in His Son.

Greetings to you brothers and sisters around the globe in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. I am delighted to write to you about this matter of love, first of all you ought to know that our adversary the Devil is a thief. He masquerades as an Angel of Light in order to deceive and lead many to perpetual destruction. He does this by stealing from your heart the word of truth and life or by twisting it so that you don't understand it.

Being inspired by the Spirit l am here to unfold this issue of love from a biblical perspective not according to the philosophy of this world. I know many believers have been deceived to follow and practice justice in love but in accordance with selfish purposes. First of all, we need to know that by sending His own Son into this world God manifested an act of love and grace (John3:16) . He did this not because we loved Him, it's because He loved us so much and therefore didn't and doesn't want any of us to end up in turmoil for ever.

This means just as the Father loved us, so we must do in order to be like Him. The philosophy of this world concerning love is "Love merely those who love you, hate those who hate you" My brothers and sisters if this is the mechanism by which God loves, no doubt the land of the wicked would not be getting dew. Let us take a look at what our Lord Jesus Christ said about love, He said, "You have heard that it was said, 'love your friends and hate your enemies.' But now I say to you : love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For He makes his sun shine on bad and good people alike and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil" Matthew 5:43-45
There is no reward in heaven for those who love only those who love them, this doesn't create any distinction between you and those of the world. The Lord Jesus said, "Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even tax collectors do that! And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of ordinary? Even pagans do that! You must be perfect just as your Father in heaven is perfect!" Matthew 5:46-48

The notion "Love for lovers only and hate for haters" is not Christian and the same thing with interacting with your friends only. In this case we need to look at the example that Jesus showed, He was a friend of tax collectors d
and outcasts. Though many people don't like tax collectors but Christ did because we are all children of one God and Father. We are liars if we say that we love God who is invisible when we hate our brothers and sisters who are visible to us just because they wronged us. Is there anyone in this world who has never made a mistake? And if there is no one, why are we still living? The answer is - God's grace.

Love is a Law in the Kingdom of heaven, the greatest of all commands because all other commandments fall under this one command. (Matthew 22:34-40) From love came grace, from grace forgiveness. Now those who forgive not shall never be forgiven by God, those who hate their haters God shall not love . Why should God forgive you if you are unforgiving to others? Even though you understand all mysteries and pray in tongues but have not love, you are naught! Completely nothing.
Dear brethren as I wind up with this letter, I exhort you to love one another, forgive one another unconditionally and love God above everything.

"They are going to end up in hell because their God is their bodily desires . They are proud of what they should be ashamed of and they think only of things that belong to this world." Philippians 3:19.

There is an ongoing war between God's service and the service of self or flesh, these two are adversaries and so the Spirit and the flesh. Self is carnal and therefore interested in carnal things. The war between God's Spirit and human nature is in every Christian. If you don't sense this, no doubt you are living according to the flesh which is enmity against God. "And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature..." Romans 8:7.

They that live in accordance with natural desires of the body are God's foes and are ghostly dead. To live as a carnal minded man is to deny the Spirit of God to operate in you who brings life. For this
is the same Spirit that raised our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. You must fight and resist the desires of self because they eternally separate us from God, Satan uses the lust of the flesh and of the eyes to make us captive to our natural selves which make us slave to sin serving the filthy desires of human nature. This is a serious war and we need to be keen spiritually in order to figure it out.

There is no neutral zone, if you are not married to the Holy Spirit then it's definite you are a partner of evil spirits which are Satan's. To live according to the flesh means to persue sensationalism, for the works of flesh are manifest :

• Fornication
• Adultery
• Hatred
• Soccery
• Pornography
• Bitterness
• Murder
• Jealousy

And many others. And to do as the Spirit wants is to do the will of God. To love, forgive, be kind, persue righteousness, justice, holiness, purity and accepting long suffering for service of God who will greatly reward those who truly seek His face and do His will.

Brothers and sisters, let us fight the good fight of faith, human anger doesn't fulfill the righteous purpose of God. Self says "Hate those who hate you and love only those who love you." while the Spirit of God says "Love unconditionally and forgive unconditionally." that's why this is a war we Christians must fight and win. We are naturally weak and therefore need the intervention of the Holy Spirit in order for us to win. We can never overcome the desires of our natural selves if we deny the operation of the Holy Spirit in us. He alone can cleanse us from every filthy lusts that hold us captive to the human nature. Self is greedy, fierce, lustful, bitter and always wants to be served. It cares for its needs and desires alone and doesn't care about others. This is contrary to nature of God's Spirit that loves goodness, graciousness, forgiveness, sanctity and purity.

So then my brothers and sisters, we have an obligation to persue the likes of the Holy Spirit who brings life, to walk in flesh is death. I encourage us to live in accordance with the Spirit that in end we are raised to life as our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us find our joy in godly things in place of chasing after mirth and our bodily desires.

The fool has said in his heart "God doesn't exist". (Psalms14:1)

"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.For it is written, 'He catches the wise in their own craftiness'." 1Corinthians3:19.
God designed sex to be enjoyed merely within marriage boundaries and outside those limits there must be no intercourse.For it is better, one to get married than to burn with lusts and end up committing a sexual sin which God abominates.The standards of this world are corrupt and earthly,there is no account of righteousness and holiness in them,all were set to "Please and quench" the desires of man omitting out the will of God.The standard of sex at 18+ was not extracted from the HOLY WORD of God but this is human wisdom which is stupidity and folly to God.
God prohibits fornication, "For this is the will of God,your sanctification that you should abstain from sexual immorality" 1Thessalonians4:3.
How then countries set a sex standard that is anti-God's? No doubt the spirit of AntiChrist has become!
I am blowing the Christ's trumpet calling you out of sin before it's late.

The world itself is not our foe because God created everything in it to be enjoyed by us within certain boundaries but when we fall so much in love with the things it to the extent of putting God behind,we become worldly walking in worldliness or walking in "Man-centered" way of life.Jesus proclaimed the first greatest commandment that "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart,with all your soul and with all your mind" Matthew22:37. The "With all" means there is neither partial serving of God nor serving Him with other gods.
A worldly Christian is the one who partakes in earthly things as in pre-salvation is not yet truely saved.Worldliness is common over the Net,there is sarcasm,mirth,porn,obscenity,scam,idolatry etc.The norm is prevalent and that's what many people do and talk about 'cause it's what they know.
However the Word says "The love of world is enemity with God." (James4:4),you cannot serve two masters,you either love one and hate the other.
I beseech you brethren to walk in Spirit.

The LORD detests these seven things and they are an abomination to Him. Proverbs6:17-19.
1.Proud Look
A look that is indiscreet seeking self-glory,this is perceived in the way people present theirselves to God and to the world.A proud look seeks to glorify itself,women ought to be discreet in the way they dress (1Timothy2:9).
2.The Deceptive Tongue.
God abominates lies and Jesus said for Satan is the father of all lies(John8:44) and whoever continues to lie is a child of the Devil.
3.Hands That Shed Innocent Blood.
All the cold-blood murders,this is common today the murders of innocent blood,Jesus said whoever hates a brother commits a sin equal to murder.(1John3:15).
4.A Heart That Devises Wicked Plans.
5.The Feet That Runs To Do Evil.
6.A False Witness.
Anyone who gives counterfeit information to imprison somebody,put somebody to death basing on false witness.The Lord detests such.
7.Someone Who Sows Discord Among Brethren.
Breaking the bond among brothers and sisters is an abomination to God,stirring hate.

Satan has aimed at trapping Christians through the things that are treated as less serious in Christianity,things that seem fine and that are generally supported by non believers as "Normal".Now that is where Satan gets a chance to trap,deceive,stray and destroy Christians.Take an instance of the media where many of us spend our leisure time.

For sin conceals in the usual things we do or in things that are frequently watched.By it hidding in the standards of this world Christians need better discernment before we are trapped by the wiles of Satan via the stuff that seem pleasing and catch the eyes.Paul tells us ,"And do not be conformed to this world,but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans12:2.
If a Christian complies with the standards of this world,may be incapable of discerning.They are inclined to fall into sin that is treated as "Normal" by those who are spiritually miopic,we need to be so careful with everything we always feed our ears and eyes on.I support media filtering by Christians because it's one of Satan's wiles he uses to trap, deceive and stray many people from the truth and eventually they are destroyed.Always have a filter in movies,music and on the Net lest you are trapped,deceived and misled by the Devil.
Jesus calls us to holiness.

God considers the wisdom of this world foolish and what the world knows as foolish He considers it wisdom.This is confusing to those who are spiritually blind,they cannot comprehend it,how can folly be wisdom?
"Let no one deceive himself.If anyone among you seems wise in this age,let him become a fool that he may become wise." 1Corith3:18.
While the world considers the message of crucified Jesus foolish,it becomes more wiser in its knowledge which is real foolishness to God.In this world,if I punch you and you forgive me and again gift me it is foolish! If I am rich and give all my riches to the poor I am so foolish! If I have a girlfriend and don't sleep with her before marrige I am dumb! That is what the world calls foolish and certainly I tell you that is the true wisdom which God wants us to be with therefore to become wise in His sight,we must first accept to be considered foolish by those in the world.
For true wisdom is from the reverence of God,it is neither from old age nor higher education.

Paul wrote to the Church in Corinth,"Watch,stand, fast in the faith,be brave, be strong" 1Corinth16:13
My brothers and sisters in Christ I Bigumirwa Fredrick your fellow brother am delighted to talk to you.As Paul wrote to Corinthians exhorting them to stand strong and endure in faith,I with much pleasure and love also write to you exhorting you to be sound in your faith sticking to the truth and sound doctrine.Use the Word of God to direct your lives,let it be light to your feet and always fallback to it when in trials.By alienating yourselves from the stuffs which the world offers our Lord Jesus Christ is magnified and glorified,and use your bodies for God's glory alone by displaying them as living sacrifices before Him.Stick to the truth and live it un ashamed and thirst for the spiritual food for the growth of your souls in God.Just as Christ suffered and persevered in all adversities so we should do with love, hope and patience as we wait for His 2 advent to completely redeem us.
Wear God's full armor.

I am Bigumirwa Fredrick,Ugandan by nationality and your fellow brother in Christ.
I have gone through the fire of many temptations mostly the carnal ones and addictions and I know many of you are still struggling with some addictions.The Spirit together with my practical faith have helped me to conquer addictions of pornography,drugs and masturbation which I thought I couldn't overcome but glory remain to God He can really save no matter how deep you have sinned.I know you may be addicted to smoking,watching porn and self abuse (Masturbation) which is lack of self-control.Create fear of enternal wrath in your hearts by having belief in the reality of this motto: "Turn From Your Sins Or Die",and know that your life and the way you live it are both Christ.By doing this you will not give chance to the flesh and its lusts as you pray to God to give you the Spirit to renew your hearts.And make friends with people who have reverence for God as you feed your souls on His Word and practice your faith daily.

"I tell you no,but unless you repent you will all likewise perish" Luke13:3.
The fact God is not pleased with the death of wicked people because they spend all their time in enternal torture.God is merciful,caring and loving that He wants all of us to repent, ashame the Devil and enjoy enternal life the ultimate pleasure. But unless we totally turn from our sins,we are all on a trip to enternal excution like a flock of sheep heading to its slaughter and there will be no grace for those who die outside the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,I mean those who reject Christ and His gospel and die in their sins.I am much more pleased to see and hear people repent of their sins and accept Jesus,don't be deceived by the world,the flesh and the Devil for the persuit of all these leads to perdition and Lucifer spirit is at work in the sons and daughters of disobedience.God is ready to forgive you if your heart and body truely repents and take up a new life that's Spirit-controlled,all God has in store is for His children.

"Examine yourself as to whether you are in the faith.Test yourselves.Do you not know yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you?Unless indeed you are disqualified" 2Corinthians13:5.
It is crucial to examine yourself through God's lens,by seeing yourself with God's eye you can come to know either you are righteous before God or righteous before people which may be contrary to being righteous before God because people have corrupt perspectives of righteousness.If you know that you have Christ in you,then judge yourself with biblical perspectives that is God's eye.The way man sees is far off different from the way God sees and His ways and thoughts are superior to ours.Our views concerning with intimacy,love,marriage,dressing code and righteousness are man-centered hence corrupt before God that's why we need to see and judge things with God's lens which is true, approriate and holy.If you judge righteousness on the basis of your own perception,you cannot know yours transgressions and that's self righteousness.

"But if we hope for what we do not see,we eagerly wait for it with perseverance" Romans8:25.
It's by hope that we are saved and without it none of us would be saved,we believe in Jesus because He rose from the dead and with this belief we hope that we shall be resurrected by Him on the last day.If we lose hope in Christ and in enternal life,we are inclined to give up our faith and go back to the world and live hoplessly as those without Christ.What I love us to do is to hope in what is unseen,setting our minds on the glorious treasures that the Father has for us in the store one of which is enternal life.This means we shouldn't place our hopes in the momentary treasures of this world since it will pass away like a flash of lightning.As we carry this enternal hope in hearts,patience and perseverance are needed since hope goes together with patience by enduring the persecutions and tribulations in this world for being believers of Christ.
Peace be with you brothers and sisters.

Anyone desputing over this please read Revealation 20 and the following you will see that Christ descends with heavenly army then Satan is expelled from the heavens and bound in abyss for 1000 years.Within 1000 years,Jesus establishes His kingdom and rules with martyrs and saints.At the end,Satan is loosened from the abssy and he sets up the war of Armageddon and is finally casted into the Brimstone fire,this is a future phenomenon.

The Millenium is the second last event to the end of age and not end of earth.It will happen after the casting of the Beast and the False Prophet live in the lake that burns with sulphur (Rev19-20) and after the seven bowls of God's anger (Great tribulation).The Devil will be chained by the angel and put in Abyss for 1000 years.Then Jesus,His saints and martyrs will rule the earth in great peace, righteousness and harmony because the Devil will not influence them as He will be chained in Abyss.People will live longer lives but those that will sin will die earlier and God's laws will apply. (Rev20:40,Isaiah65:17-25) The resurrected in this Kingdom shall not be subject to death in the final judgment.(Rev20:6).
The Bible says that at the end of Millenium,Satan will be let loose for a while,He will ally with many leaders of earth to attack Jerusalem and God will burn them alive with heavenly fire and then Satan will be thrown in the lake of fire where the Beast and False Prophet are to be tormented daily.

"God wants you to be holy and compeletely free from sexual immorality"
1Thess4:3.
Jesus is coming back for a stainless church,free of lust,greed,sexual immorality but are you pure enough to be taken up by the Lord?The world's view of sin is a bit not focused mostly when it comes to sex,they think that "If I don't have sex with my boyfriend or girlfried,they will break up with me",Yes that is true but Jesus said that "If the world hates you,just know it first hated me" so let such people despise you for hating sin your enternal reward is waiting for you.Remember no immoral people shall inherit in the Kingdom of God Ephesians5:5.If you are not married be patient till marriage so if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend.This is not a trivial matter in Christianity,it's crucial to know and avoid it I know nature demands but don't allow nature to control you let the Spirit be in control.
Note:Don't watch porn to quench sex drive,it's very offensive to God and He will penalise such people if they fail to repent.

Jesus told His discipples about the signs of end times and apostasy or falling away from the true faith is one of them. "Many will give up their faith at that time,they will betray one another and hate one another"
Matt24:10.Apostasy can be seen by the emergence of many cults and interfaithsm such as Chrislam(Catholic catechism 841) that teach that Islam and Christianity are the same and that they can receive salvation as long as they believe in oneness of God this is a great deception and apostasy because Islam deny the deity of Christ yet He alone is the truth,way and life "Jesus answered him,'I am the truth,and the life,no one goes to the Father except by me" John14:6.Just before the end of age,two things must occur;
1.Apostasy
2.The Antichrist
And others like false teachers,so many people will fall away from the truth and start believing in heresies and pyschology of the ellites rather than Biblical teachings take example Arius's doctrines that teach, Jesus was created by God yet He is God (Isaiah9:6).

Haha I don't think this is true.

Its a disgrace.

Being ranked high porn consumer means it's one of the countries that are rebelling against God.
God will punish that country and in 2015 I attended HIV celebrations in Uganda and South Africa was announced as number one HIV+ country in African.

Brother,life is like that we meet so manx things that hurt us but sometimes they make us strong.Hurt and rejection are ever present in our lives but my advise for you is to let go and continue with a new life.Pray to God so that He points you to the right one.
