God deals with every person in certain ways.


No one will be lost by what they do or fail to do, they will be lost because they refuse to repent and obey.

Here is the 5 steps God deals with every person about sin.

1: conviction, you feel bad for what you done, you repent and all is made well.

2:chastisement, which often is sickness or affliction, but not always. Hebrews 12:6-8

3: open rebuke, where God will publically show your sin so others can see, that you might be ashamed and repent.

4:Judgement, when God strips you and takes from you, he allows you to reap the sin in your life, which brings loss, destruction or death

5: reprobation, you will not let him save you, so he gives you the mindset to defile and entertain your lusts. Romans 1:28-32 all that awaits you is wrath of God.



Now the bad news.

If you do not hear his voice, if you have never regarded God, if you think God to be fake, foolish or evil. It is likely you no longer feel or hear any of this.

He does not see you as a son, he sees you as an enemy or as wicked.


When God chastens, he loves, and he speaks.


If he hated you, he could remain silent and let you do what you want.


And the only hope you have is in Jesus and to obey psalms 50:23.


Psalms 50:16-23


Repent and obey, there is no other way.

Acts 2:38

Never really thought much about hope before.


It's sort of a belief type concept...An imaginary data source that hangs about outside the range of our sensory receptors.



And fortunately I currently do not have to concern myself with fearful stimuli.



Though I am of the opinion, that if there is such a thing as a Judgemental creator, it will probably not be the illogical fool you make it out to be.


All that sin reaping and chastisement stuff was made up by foolishly illogical people...Mostly men, I'm guessing.

Don't forget Bastet. Cats were sacred in ancient Egypt, as evidenced by the number of mummified cats that have been found. Bastet was the cat goddess, considered a protectress who could ward off evil and misfortune. The eclectic nature of Egyptian religion meant that there was significant crossover between some of the gods, and Bastet was often identified with the lioness goddess Sekhmet and the cow goddess Hathor, who were all seen as daughters of the sun god Ra and sometimes acted as his enforcer.

I will pray to Bastet tonight, after I pray to Jesus and Satan. Personally, I think Jesus and Satan should make up. Satan can forgive Jesus for casting out of heaven, and Jesus can forgive Satan for painfully nailing him on a cross and being penetrated by spear.

Satan, as Satan's rebellion is depicted as a permanent, unforgivable state of defiance. While God is merciful and can forgive humans who repent, Satan's pride and continuous opposition to God make repentance impossible for him, unlike humanity which has a path to salvation through Jesus.

God benefits everyone, Satan too.

No, God does not benefit from Satan in a positive or beneficial way

; rather, theological interpretations suggest God permits Satan's existence to achieve a greater good, such as demonstrating the consequences of evil, allowing for free will, and ultimately glorifying His own power through Satan's judgment. God created Satan as a good angel, and his subsequent fall into evil was a rebellion, not a partnership.

Whether God helps everyone is a question of faith with differing perspectives, but 

many religious traditions hold that God's help is available to all, even if it doesn't always manifest as people expect. Some beliefs emphasize that God does not show favoritism and loves all equally, while others suggest that divine help is more strongly felt by those who are humble or actively seeking help. Different faiths also have their own interpretations of when and how God's help is given.

Bible literally says God benefits all.

Several Bible verses and passages highlight that God provides benefits, but they often emphasize that these benefits are specifically for those who love, follow, and obey Him, rather than literally all people unconditionally

The statement reflects a core tenet of Christianity, that belief in Jesus Christ is necessary for salvation

. This is based on verses like Romans 10:9-10, which states that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. This salvation is considered a gift received through faith, not by works.
