Surrounded by God

What God showed among the prophets was this, God has shown you, man, what God requires of you, this is to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with God. Ten commandments consist of doing these things, and there are people doing what is in the ten commandments, though many more do not. It is good that God shows grace and there is a way of redemption provided in which there is restoration to God, but this works with faith that is the essential faith having repentance, which brings any with this to obedience to what God shows to do.

Two men with access to rifles witness a psychopathic killer in a school yard with a machete, killing innocent children. One obeys the written law and out of fear to losing his immortal soul refuses to kill this man who is shedding the blood of innocents. The other, full of love and compassion for the innocent children blows the head off the psychopath.

Which of the two will God condemn and which will he reward?

I tell you now that you can lie there is a time to steal
There is a time to disobey there is a time to kill
There is a work that must be done upon the Sabbath day
No one who understands the Lord would teach another way
For the Lord God judges . . . . not on what you do
The heart and soul of man HE searches through
It’s the reason . . . “WHY” the deeds of man are done
This is what the Lord God judges on.

Not the black and white letter of the law my friend.

What do you think? Laws from men can be inadequate. Law from what was heard that was known as God was in place for just knowing God's will, as we were supposed to, and could have with really walking with God. Saving lives is involved, even with a lot more compassion. Yet there are such who are aggressive that would do violence to others, even deadly, that it is better to stop even with killing those when needed for stopping them. This can be included in godliness but general killing is not.

God is not limited, like any among us limit God in the ways we think of God. But God is beyond how we think, and is not limited in anything God is characterized with. God is not limited in all possible knowledge. God is not limited from anywhere in any time, God is actually present everywhere and is eternal, and, God is beyond this universe which is limited. God created it all, and all of it, with our little world in it, is God's. God is not limited in power and has power to make it all. God is not limited in care, God made this universe that is capable of having worlds with life, though they are not common and most likely not any with in reach of those on any other. God cares for life in this universe, God is not limited from caring for any of all the life in the universe, while capable of knowing any of us individually. God shows examples to us, for how we would respond rightly to God. There are plenty of those of us needing restoration that God does provide for.

God is really big. How big? Unfathomably big. God is everywhere. The universe is more limited, observable and all of it beyond that. How can God have concern for you and anything smaller? God isn’t limited even to any scales. But you would need to talk with God, for having a relationship with God. I do what I see to do according to what God's will is, and trust God as I know I can, in which I would walk with God, I would not want it another way.

The lives of us all are in God's hands, and God, the Creator of all, can say when anyone's time in this world is up. God is still righteous with this, and we do not have worthiness to just continue on. But God created souls to not come to an end, but to last for being in lasting relationship with God. Still, most fail at this, their souls will continue somewhere else apart from desirable relationship with God. But any of us are provided for being in the desirable relationship with God, and should not dismiss or despise that way for it when we seek God, who does not stay hiding from us but gives revelation for us to know God.

God cares for all life in the universe as Creator with this universe made just right that life is possible in it, we are to care enough to not contribute to harm being done, God alone has authority over duration of life for any. God started creation caring for all in it, and it was very good. God has accommodation provided for the sake of hardened hearts among humans, God still does not will for any to perish. There will be restoration, with the way available to that with repentance in faith.
