Paul wrote by the Spirit “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,”
What!? Is that Who He is? If anyone paid attention to most preachers today one would think the opposite. What is mostly proclaimed is a twisted message of a God who loves you and wants to save you from Himself because if you do not choose to believe in Jesus then His wrath will torture you in unending literal flames –forever and ever and ever!
So much for the Father of mercies and God of all comfort!
Perhaps He is partial and this statement by Paul is only for those who believe in Jesus? Yet the Bible tells us He is NOT PARTIAL. Well then why is He so ruthless with those who failed to believe in Jesus during their life time?
He will fry the ones who rejected Jesus even though it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to come to Jesus unless God Himself draws them FIRST. Seems a bit harsh doesn’t it?
And even though there have been untold MILLIONS who have been born in nations that do NOT HAVE THE GOSPEL and who go on to die without EVER HEARING it — this God of comfort and Father of Mercies does not care at all -He will still cast them all away from Himself forever and ever.
God Himself takes credit for blinding the Jewish people to salvation in Jesus — thus millions of them have perished and gone to endless torment without knowing His mercy or comfort. This kind of “justice” is blasphemous! What kind of a sick god would blame people for what he himself has done?!!
Yet billions of Christians believe this utter nonsense about God.
I am not one of them!!
God has promised to save ALL people – just not at the same time or in the same Aeon/Age.
Since Pentecost God has been saving only a “First Fruits” from each generation.
In the Ages still to come He will bring in the complete harvest.
1 Cor 15:
“20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Jesus Himself is the firstborn from the dead…He is the firstfruits of ALL those who have fallen asleep- that is all who have died. For there is no one else except Jesus who is immortal! (1Tim 6:16)
21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
All people died in Adam and that same ALL people shall be made alive at the resurrection of all the dead.(Dan 12:2, Jn 5:28,29) So all people who have died shall be raised again to life and live in Christ….
23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits,
afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.
24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.
25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.
26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
27 For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.
28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.”
Jesus is the first to be given an immortal body
Then those who are His receive the same
Then in the ages to come Jesus shall put all things under Himself – all enemies shall surrender to His love–Until all are found in Jesus! Then God shall be all in all.
The Father of mercies and God of all comfort shall not fail for LOVE NEVER FAILS.
