Is He Really The Creator Of All Things? by kgpharoah: 10:04am On Jul 07, 2019
Sometimes I just wonder if the Christian God is really the creator of all things. If you take a look at everything that exist in the universe, you will agree with me that the brain behind creation is not what we humans can comprehend because everything is perfectly and specially made. There is no doubt the ONE behind this creation is the ALMIGHTY.
If the Christian or the Jewish God is this ALMIGHTY,
1. Why would he demand animal (his creation) sacrifice from his people to forgive their sins in the old testament.

2. Why did he choose a particular set of people (the Jews) and rejected others who are also his creation?

3. Why would he sacrifice his only son to himself to save mankind?

4. If Christianity is the only true religion according to Christians, why allow others to exist even when there are true worshippers in other religions.

In fact the questions are too many and the more I think about them, the more I get confused.

Is the Christian God really the creator and owner of everything?

You sound exactly like me a couple years ago.


By this time next year, your mind will be opened, you'll be free from mental slavery.

But they will call you names like heathen, pagan, atheist, antichrist

Something is telling me this Christian God is the Jewish deity just the same way we have ours down here in Africa.

All you need is a personal encounter with Jesus Christ himself, then you shall believe beyond doubt.

You spoke my mind exactly what I’ve been telling my Christian friends. We need more freethinkers in this country

So you have had personal encounter with Jesus Christ before, so how did it go

I do not doubt the powers of Jesus just the same way I will not doubt the powers of Songo, Ifa, Ogun and the others.

My question is who is the real creator of all things? The real owner of the universe. I need you to answer this question with proof.

Sorry, that's beyond the scope of my activities on this forum. I'm just here to while away the little free time I have not to give lessons.

==============

OP,

1. Animal sacrifices were a sign (like baptism, circumcision, etc) pointing to our need for salvation in the Lord JESUS CHRIST. GOD is sovereign, and can command any action, power belongs to GOD (Psalm 62:11)! - and he always does in righteousness / perfection!

Animal Sacrifices Insufficient -Hebrews 10: 1-7

"For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will

Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God.’

2. We do not know all the reasons why the LORD GOD chose Israel to be his peculiar / distinct /unique / private / special treasure of all mankind.

"Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine" -Exodus 19:5

* Note that the nation of Israel is also a sign /symbol of the spiritual nation of Israel - i.e., every single human being from the beginning of GOD's creation whom GOD has truly pardoned by the blood of CHRIST.

It is GOD's sovereign right to chose, pay for it, and be glorified by it! He is the King of Glory (Psalm 24).

3. GOD's law requires this: "Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die." - Ezekiel 18:4. Note that GOD has no pleasure in punishing for sin, but GOD in His perfection keeps and enforces the law... but He also, in mercy and compassion, provides a way for many, many, many people to escape said punishment - by enduring it Himself in the Person of JESUS CHRIST... Wonderful! "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -Acts 4:12

So, the blood / Personal sacrifice of the Lord JESUS CHRIST is the only way that mankind can be saved and justified, and GOD is His sovereignty decided to save mankind. Picture this - you can't swim, you fall into the ocean, you begin to drown and death is certain - then a good Samaritan jumps into the ocean to save you - do you ask him or her why he/she did what he/she did to save you, and why they did it in the way they might have? Are you not simply grateful / thankful for their action?? Why then question GOD's methods? His ways are not our ways - Isaiah 55:7-9

4. I state this humbly, when we ask such questions, we think as men think, not as GOD thinks. Do we fully know how GOD will judge the world and the people who do not believe in the Lord JESUS CHRIST as the only Savior? What we know is that He is perfect. "The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works." - Psalm 145:17 So, we unavoidably leave it to the King of Kings! Romans 9:15-18


So friend, what we all should try to do, is cry out to GOD for mercy in Him, in the Lord JESUS CHRIST.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise." -Psalm 51:17

"Let the [a]wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
" - Isaiah 55:7

"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." - Romans 10:9 (also Acts 2:21).
