Benevolent or Just God?

Do Christians believe in a Benevolent God? Do Christians believe in a Just God? Is there a difference? Benevolent: Characterized by or suggestive of doing good. Just: Honorable and fair in one's dealings and actions. Does God do good for everyone? And if so who determines what is Good? More importantly does God treat everyone fair in accordance with what they have done.

A Benevolent God would not allow bad things to happen. A Benevolent God would not cause destruction and devastation upon the Earth. A Benevolent God would not flood the entire Earth. A Benevolent God would not require people to commit Genocide. A Benevolent God would not pour out wrath upon the earth. Do Christians believe in a Benevolent God?

On the other hand, A Just God would judge people for their wickedness. A Just God would repay all sins with balanced and appropriate punishment. A Just God would follow an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. A Just God would slaughter those who reject the Law and disobey it continually. A Just God would require a penalty for all sins.

Which kind of God do Christians believe in. If God is Benevolent, than shouldn't he lovingly forgive us for our wrong doings. If God is Just, than shouldn't he require something in order to give us Forgiveness. So God sent his only Son into the World not to judge the World, but to pay the price for the sins of the World. A Just God would require a sacrifice and Christ comes as our sacrifice.

God works everything for the Good of the people who love him. God works everything to encourage and call people from their sins and from eternal death. God provides a sacrifice in order to justify all mankind. Justice must be done and it is through Jesus Christ. Thank you.

Set Theory on the Trinity

Many Theologians are not Mathematicians. But Theologies are really into Science. For some reason there is a greater cross over between Theology and Science than any other fields unless you Separate Math and Physic into different fields. But Set Theory at its basic is the idea of taking sets of numbers or things and showing relationships. We see this in Matrices or Venn-Diagrams. Now Theologians generally speaking would use a Venn-Diagram to describe the Trinity. A Theologian would usually talk about three circles one being the Father and another being the Holy Spirit and the Other being the Son. Thus, where these circles connect that is then called God. But this means that there is part of the Son which is not God. Part of the Holy Spirit which is not God. And part of the Father which is not God. This is not true. Rather you take a list of Sets. Take Set God which contains all the attributes of God. Then you take a Set called Holy Spirit it would contain all the attributes of God and y...

Biblical Marriage

Marriage is defined in Genesis as a man clinging to his wife and the two becoming one flesh. This definition is standardized even in the New Testament by both Jesus and St Paul. Therefore, we have generally said Marriage is defined as one Man and one Woman being joined together in a life long union. Most people think that this Marriage union is created through a man dressed in black and woman dressed in white walking down an aisle to be joined together before some kind of altar. But this is only a ceremony of marriage. The Bride and bridegroom are actually joined together through what is known as consummation, or proper sexual relations.  Thus, St Paul can even talk in reference to a marriage bed. This concept may be overlooked by a culture that no longer views the bed as the place where a majority of sexual activity takes place. But he states this because the marriage bed is the location in which a man and woman are joined together. Just as it was Rachael or Leah's tent in which t...

Human Reason is Faulty

The Confessors of the Augsburg Confession recognize another important lesson of which many easily lose sight. "They condemn the Pelagians and others who deny that the original fault is sin and who, in order to diminish the glory of Christ's merits and benefits, argue that human beings can be justified before God by their own powers of reason." Others may say by any use of their mental faculties or even their own decision. When you deny originl fault effects your reason or mental faculties you deny original fault or sin. If human beings claim any power for their own Justification they deny original sin or Fault. But our Human Reason is completely Corrupt. Therefore, St Paul can say mean's wisdom is foolishness to God. Therefore, Anyone who thinks they can make a decision for Christ is wrong. In other words their Reason is faulty. Human Reason leads to wild heretical thoughts whie God reveals the turth. Humans can rightly ask who can say what is right? But God s...
