To Be Like Jesus

God is a Jealous God for a Reason 

According to my view those who commit extreme grievous crimes against humanity are normally, if I may use that word, possessed by  an evil spirit or even a host of evil spirits. 

Just as Satan sends his agents to churches more so than barrooms, he is behind all destruction he can muster and then blame it on someone else.

If the devil cannot convince anyone to disbelieve Jesus altogether, he will chip away instead against Jesus' power.

Jesus is love and love is forgiving all. He drove out demons from people, and as He told His disciples, some demons come out harder than others. He told them the harder kind t requires greater faith to explain to them why they were not successful in healing a man's son. 

Jesus tells us to obey His commandments for a reason. He wants to keep us from being enticed to disobey His commandments because if not there is a penalty that must be paid.

According to Jesus the flesh is weak and cannot help us. Everything Jesus tells me will work out why in the end. For my part, my sincere desire is to follow His instructions for my own sake. 

God already figured it out

For those who do, we will understand everything when we are one in the spirit, which is my hope. The important thing for me is not to judge so I will not be judged, not to condemn, so that I will not be condemned. 

That, to my mind, is so that all revenge will be for God to do, not for me. This is so that I will escape and not be subject to the responsibility of assuming the role of God myself.

Jesus says what He understands is what God tells Him and He told it all to us. John 17 I understand it is all for my own benefit if I trust Him.
