Tweets - May 29th - Reward and Punishment

I want you to understand something. You will not find reward or punishment in the Living God.

Punishment is the man-made works of an authoritarian with the sole intent of causing distress for a wrong-doing. Reward is owed for a job well done, and as I've stated before, God does not owe anyone anything ever.

Recognize then this difference between humanity and God. Humanity is a godless race.

God is an impartial gift giver, and God corrects. It would certainly be an easier task for God to correct those who see the indecency in themselves, but this is the Earth, where all lies circle from our mouths to our own ears, and any correction from God must be extreme.

God is getting involved when God shouldn't have to get involved.

When does God give gifts? And when does God correct? Surely, God does nothing, neither good nor evil.

Gifts are given to those who accept them. Would you give a gift to someone you knew would toss it in the trash or trample it under their feet? Why heal the cancer patient who will perpetuate their indecency and continually lie to themselves about what they see and do?

God's gifts are eternal, even to eternal life. God does not heal the perishing dead - human physicians do this, God does not. What would be the point of any such generous blessing? I hope I'm saying things that aren't too difficult to follow.

Correction is given so that one changes their behavior. It hurts - it's never easy, not by the one doing the correcting or the one being corrected. Even more awful when the one doing the correcting deeply loves the one who needs to be corrected.

When God corrects, a lot of thought and effort goes into it with the intent of producing decent people - even eternally. God is not a human mother, God is extreme and eternal, and many who'll undergo God's correction will not survive.

Correction from God is to transform a violent and ferocious mass-murderer into a gentle human being - even one who learns faithfulness apart from death and relies on God for mercy and safety (as strange as that sounds). It requires extremity, severity, and persistence.

God does not take away liberty from any living thing - not that I've ever known. When God does not bother correcting a person, they die - as we have known billions of times over. God is getting involved when God shouldn't have to get involved.
