We know that God is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and essentially exists outside of space and time. He knows the beginning from the end. He is also The Alpha and The Omega, and He does not change, neither is there a shadow of turning with Him.
This raises a question flag: “If all and all was already predetermined in life, why try right, or even:
“Why does God allow things to happen in this broken world?”
Let me get right to the point:
90,000 to 146,000 people died in Hiroshima and 60,000 to 80,000 people in Nagasaki via a Nuclear strike. The Japanese just would not quit, so the USA had no other choice. If the fighting had continued, so many more US and Japanese lives would have been lost unnecessarily.
Who and what killed them?
All it took was a man called Albert Einstein and His famous equation “E=mc2” which explains the energy released in an unstable atom, then with continuity and workmanship was created into a bomb in the Manhatten project, masterminded by the brightest of minds, J. Robert Oppenheimer, that was dropped by the USA on Hiroshima and Nagasaki with zero US boots on Japanese soil, it was a human calculated effort.
It was not God that dropped the bomb on Japan, no, it was the USA. I must state that Albert Einstein was not responsible.
The USA was victorious.
God is not responsible for the genocide, known as the Holocaust, no, not at all, all it took were men bittered with the Jews aptly: “Anti-Semites, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and Reinhard Heydrich“. Hitler’s SS officers, with two notorious men, namely, Heinrich Himmler and Adolf Eichmann, murdered 6,000,000 Jewish people.
This was a systematic, state-sponsored genocide.
Do you know what a death camp is?
They would round up 3000 Jews per day, and murder them at point-blank range, children, women, and men. However, this was too slow for the Antisemitism of the Nazi regime, so they invented the gas chambers where they would gas millions of Jews to their demise.
One day, when Hitler attended one of these shootings in the death camps, blood spattered on his uniform, and he started to vomit.
Adolf Eichmann was responsible for the transportation of Jews to these gas chambers from all over Europe.
Hitler was a very evil man. After failing twice to enter the school of fine arts, he was living on the streets with only pennies in his pockets from the sketches he drew and sold on the streets.
He was a short, pathetic man with charisma and a powerful public speaker who could sway Germany second to none.
Part of the Nazi propaganda was a programme named “ACTION T4” Where they murdered 90,000 German and Jewish ill persons with some kind of disability or of such as those not worthy of life. This was part of the Nazi cult, or what they called ethnic cleansing, the core of the antisemitic passion. They eluded Germany in such a cunning, systematic fashion, people were drawn to Hitler and, in effect, worshipped him.
God was not responsible for the Holocaust. Period. It was Hitler and his SS officers.
What in your straight mind would make you think that God predetermined the massacre of 6,000,000 Jews, it was pure human error and God had no part in it.
God is and was not responsible for the “apartheid regime in South Africa”, which greatly oppressed people of color: No all it took was a racist regime and a lot of hate for people of color”. People of color are still crippled from the after-effects of the “apartheid regime, yes, even til this very day.”
All it took was one man, a Hero of mine, Nelson Mandela “Madiba”: 27 years of imprisonment on Robben Island, walked out hate-free and bitterless, for a free and fair democracy, one person, one vote, and the ANC (African National Congress) won with a landslide because people “chose” to vote for the ANC. God is not in charge of the ballot box; no, people are.
God did not land on the moon; no, Neil Armstrong did, via NASA’s (USA) continuity and inventions. It was a 100% human effort and aspiration to determine them for space travel.
Suffice it to say that God is in many cases not responsible for our choices and their outcomes. Life has predetermined outcomes based on the choice type criteria we make.
Your destiny is progressive as you journey in your Christian pilgrimage with God.
I know that in the next 40 seconds, someone, somewhere, “will” commit suicide. It is God’s will that you live and not die. God said: “I set before you Life or Death, Blessing or Cursing, but then we find The Lord spurring us on to “choose Life”—and not death.
Suppose I had to instruct you to do three cartwheels, one backflip, and ten pushups. Is this then God’s instructions? No, it is Jaco’s instructions; you were just the fool to do it. It is then not God’s will but mine.
Someone slammed into your car, not because you weren’t intoxicated, but because some other fool was and was speeding without stopping at the traffic lights. Get it?
You did not get lung cancer from not smoking, no, you lit up every smoke at a pace of 60 a day while expecting to have great health.
We don’t go to the gym to put on weight but rather to lose some. You are the one who joined the gym, and yes, you are the one who will do the exercises that will result in the reading of a scale for mass or weight, and the scale does not lie.
You can’t pray for your horse to win, a hole-in-one, or even for the one team to win against the other team. God does not cheat, nor does He do match-fixing: May the best team win.
You did not get a triple bypass because you were living with a healthy diet, no, you ate too much fatty, oil-fried, over-the-top high-calorie refined foods, and your heart could not handle it. Many people are grossly overweight, not because they eat too little, but because they eat too much.
You did not get HIV/AIDS from a bug in the air; no, HIV/AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease, and millions die from it; it is a sure death sentence.
You did not lose your job because you did your job; no, you lost your job because you didn’t do your job. Period
God did not formulate the COVID-19 virus; no, it was cooked up in a lab in China, and millions died worldwide.
You did not flunk and get an “F” on your test results because you were well prepared; no, you flunked because you did not study and ate too many Cheetos.
You did not become an alcoholic because you drank too much lemonade, no, because you are overly fond of the taste of alcohol inside your lemonade.
AA “Alcoholics Anonymous” is not there because people are free from alcohol; no, they need moral group-based meetings not to pick up the bottle again.
The same goes for NA “Narcotics Anonymous” people struggling with hard drugs.
Adam and Eve did not fall because they listened to God, no, because they listened to the serpent “Satan”, and did eat.
God is and was never at fault. We are by default sinners in need of a Saviour, and you can receive Him in your Life today.
All it took was One Man, Jesus Christ, to free us from all sin and bondage. He came screaming into this world and left screaming, paying a very real price for you and me.
He loves you and died with a purpose, and that is that we should not taste Hell and the grave. He paid the penalty in full. Regardless of your previous choice type criteria and sins, He will forgive you if you invite Him into Your Heart.
Let me close with this: you can enter everlasting Life with God if you choose Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and then, in obedience, give heed to His instructions and Word.
You can also go to Hell, not because you do everything right, no, you walk straight into Hell because you do everything wrong, you choose to. Period.
Everyone is conscious of their works and words, and they choose not to accept God into their Hearts simply because they fail to fit a perfect God into a broken world; therefore, many choose to be “agnostic” or even “atheists”.
I can in assurance say to you, you can go to Heaven and possess everlasting Life, and the only means is through Jesus Christ. This world may leave you with a chance; however, please don’t gamble or take a chance with your soul. Life is so short, why not accept the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?
Romans 10:9-10 – If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
