Why Did GOD Create The Devil If He Knew The Future?

Whenever I hear about someone leaving Christianity I commonly hear that their reason is because they had questions about the Bible that no one could answer. Either that or they say they weren’t allowed to ask questions because their pastor would tell them not to question and challenge GOD. These people say they were made to feel like they had to believe everything blindly and weren’t allowed to have a voice. So when they become adults they rebel against this and search for a new way.

I can relate to this because a similar thing happened to me. I grew up being forced to go to church but once I became an adult and felt like I could think for myself I stopped going to church and began seeking GOD in my own way. I felt like the church’s way was just not for me, because it seemed like a bunch of religious rituals without a real relationship with GOD.

A few of the questions I had at that time were “Why would GOD make the tree of the knowledge of good evil if he knew it could cause Adam and Eve to sin?” Why did God create the potential for man to sin? Why didn’t GOD just make no forbidden fruit and let Adam and Eve happily live in the garden forever? And if GOD is all-knowing, why did he create the Angel Lucifer if he knew that he would sin against him?” “Is this just all a game?”

I had these questions and more, and until I was born again I didn’t know the answers, however, the closer I drew near to GOD the more potential answers to these questions became more obvious to me.

And before I explain some of these things let me first say that I don’t believe Christians have to live in mystery and confusion without answers because the Bible tells us that we can know and understand GOD. In fact GOD wants us to know him, and wants us to seek him for answers. Here are the scriptures:

Matius 7:7-8 – “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”

The Bible tells us that if we seek we will find and if we persist in asking we will receive what we ask for. Therefore I must conclude that the people who ask the infamous questions above are not truly seeking the answers. Those questions are simply their excuse to reject the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Even when I had those questions as a teenager I was not genuinely seeking the answers, but I was simply and pridefully trying to corner the older Christians by trying to ask them questions I thought they couldn’t answer.

Was GOD supposed to give an answer to an arrogant prideful teenager boasting about no one being able to answer his questions? Of course not. GOD doesn’t owe me anything. The Bible says GOD humbles the proud and exalts the humble(James 4:6). Therefore if I would have remained like that and GOD didn’t show me mercy I would have perished in my ignorance and died without knowing.

What else does the Bible say?

Yeremia 9:23-24 “Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me..”

The Bible says never boast in the things of this world but “IF” you boast about anything, boast that you understand GOD, and that you KNOW GOD. Therefore GOD wants us to know him, and GOD wants us to seek him. I don’t believe GOD is hiding the answers to these common questions from his children. But are you genuinely dedicating time to seeking GOD before you say you don’t have an answer? How much time are you spending in prayer? How much time do you spend in worship alone? How much time do you spend studying your Bible?

I’ve found that the majority of the people with these questions have never even read the entire Bible from cover to cover and have never spent even an hour in prayer. Maybe they skimmed through the Bible and prayed for 5 minutes and gave up when an answer was not given instantly. We spend more time on social media than we do seeking GOD and then expect GOD to reward us for giving less effort toward him than we do the things of this world.

James 4:8 – “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”

If you draw near to GOD he will draw near to you. You don’t have to seek GOD perfectly but give effort! Spend time! Dedicate a portion of your morning or evening.

And finally this verse:

I Corinthians 2:9-10 – “But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.”

The Bible says that no one knows the deep things of GOD except those who have the spirit of GOD, because the spirit searches even the hidden things of GOD. Therefore if you have the spirit of GOD, the knowledge of GOD is accessible for you. But is your heart truly set on desiring knowledge about GOD? Is this your focus and desire? Many of these mysterious things are hidden from the world, but they are not hidden from GOD’s children who have the spirit of GOD.

Therefore, with all that being said… Why? Why did GOD make the devil if he knew the devil would sin against him? And why did GOD make the forbidden fruit if he knew it could lead Adam and Eve to sin and death?

Have you ever read the Bible where Jesus says everything he sees the Father in Heaven doing, Jesus also does?

John 5:19 – “Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.”

And then did you also read that Jesus called Judas “A Devil” long before Judas betrayed him? Jesus already knew Judas was a devil when he first selected him.

John 6:70 – “Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”

Do you see the connection there? GOD made Lucifer, even though he knew he would betray him, and Jesus chose Judas to be his disciple even though he knew Judas would betray him. Jesus says whatever he sees the Father doing he also does. Jesus also says he lost Judas only so that the scriptures could be fulfilled(John 17:12).

But why any of this? Why the forbidden fruit? Why sin?

Let me ask you…

What does it take for a human child to be born on the earth? It takes a man and a woman coming from two different homes to come together, then an engagement, then a wedding, then consummation, in which the virgin woman sheds her blood to form a covenant with her husband. And then there is a race in which millions of sperm cells are racing to reach the one egg in her womb, but only one sperm wins the race and receives the “crown of life” to become a child.

And what does the Bible say:

“Matthew 22:14 – ““For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Many sperm cells enter into the womb but only FEW cells are chosen to become children on the earth.

Then after this, a woman must suffer the pains of rearing a child, vomiting, contractions, swollen feet, a widened noise, hormonal changes, and so much more, and then she must endure the pain of birthing the child. And after the child is born all her labor is forgotten and rejoices over there being a new child in the world.

Do you see the parallel here in the story of Jesus? Jesus came to earth, born from a virgin, he endured and he suffered and shed his blood to establish a covenant with us so that we could be REBORN as the children of GOD.

Therefore when I ask you, what does take to make a human child? You read above about the long and bitter-sweet and painful process needed to create a human that will only live for 100 years.

Now what if I asked you “What does it take to make a child of GOD that will live forever and ever?”

If what is written above is ALL that must take place to create a flesh and blood human being to live for only 120 years, what is ALL that must take place to create a child of the MOST HIGH GOD that will live for ALL eternity?

What if ALL that you’ve seen happening on the earth from the beginning until now is this similar process… What if THIS is how true children of GOD are made? What if ALL of this Pain, suffering, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis and more is the entire process of growing children in this world’s womb so that the children of GOD can be born out of this world?

What if ALL of this was for YOU?

Would you still question GOD then?

If ALL of this was GOD’S plan to create HIS children who he would spend all eternity with, as our loving Father, awaiting to share ALL his goodness with us. What if GOD was bearing with ALL the wickedness and evil in the world because he was waiting for YOU to be born? And not just born from your mother, but truly BORN FROM GOD.

Acts 14:22 “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God”

Romans 8:17 says we will be gloried with Jesus IF we suffer together with him. Therefore what if ALL you had to go through was a part of the birthing pains for you to be FULLY Born as a child of GOD? Would you now endure and rejoice because now you know part of the purpose of it all?

Conclusion:

Remember what GOD says before creating the first Human being:

Genesis 1:26 – “Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness”

Think about a husband and a wife after establishing a covenant of marriage… They look at each other and say “Let us create a child together in our own image and likeness”. And then the wife undergoes all the suffering needed for their children to be born.

Now think of Jesus, enduring, suffering, and giving his life on the cross so that you can be REBORN out of death and into life. Reborn as a child of GOD.

What if GOD bore with great patience for thousands and thousands of years waiting for his children to be born? A woman only bears patiently for 9 months for her child, but how long has GOD bore patiently waiting for his? How gloriously, holy and mighty is Our Father and Our GOD.

There are other answers to these questions also that I may write about later, but this is one answer that I believe is most fitting to lay the foundation for the topics of the future.

Thank you ALL for reading. Share this post if you want.

God bless you all who are in Christ Jesus.

The Internet Is Full Of Forbidden Fruit: DON’T EAT IT!

The Bible says that in the end times, many religious deceptions will come that may even deceive seasoned Christians. Therefore we must be careful what we read on the internet. The internet is a “Tree Of Knowledge” just like the tree that Adam and Eve ate from that gave them knowledge of sin which led to their death. If Adam and Eve had stuck to the trees they were given by GOD, they would not have been deceived, but because they desired “higher knowledge” from the serpent they fell and were defiled. The Bible is the tree we have been given by GOD to eat from, but the internet is the “tree of knowledge”. The fruit of the tree of knowledge is sweet to the taste but bitter in the stomach like the scroll/book that was eaten by John in the book Revelation.

Revelation 10:9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

The knowledge from the internet taste sweet, it enlightens you, it exalts you above your brothers and sisters with knowledge, it allows you to be the possessor of a secret, and a bearer of a higher truth. However, when you swallow this knowledge you are puffed up with pride, arrogant, and then separated from your brothers. Is it worth it? What do you think Adam and Eve would say if you could ask them if was it worth it to gain this higher knowledge? If getting into heaven required a person to be intelligent which of us could enter? Who is so bold they can stand before the all-knowing GOD and boast about their intelligence? Did you read when Job questioned GOD and GOD answered him in Job Chapters 38-42? Was Job not silenced?

Job 38:1-3 “Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: “Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge? Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.”

The internet is also like the “Tower of Babel” in the Bible in which all the languages were confused so all the men in the world became divided. Men could no longer work together because they were separated into different groups based on their languages. Now the internet is filled with so much new information, and new language, some true, but the majority false and now people no longer know what they should believe. People are separated into various factions and groups based on all these different understandings and different knowledge. Is Christ divided? Why have we allowed “Knowledge to separate us the same way knowledge separated Adam and Eve from God?

1 Corinthians 1:10 “Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”

I have family members and friends who watch new reels on Instagram or TikTok and send them to me and say “What about this? Is this true? What about that? I’m confused” The Bible says that GOD is not the author of confusion therefore if someone is confused it means there is a spiritual enemy that is working in their life to keep them from the truth.

1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.”

Those with “Knowledge” are divided and those without “knowledge” are confused because of the division amongst their leaders. Is this the will of GOD for us? Are we still sinners? Fighting, and exalting ourselves above one another? Are we serious as Christians? The Internet is the devil’s field, the internet is the devil’s tree, therefore be careful how you use this Internet. On the Google homepage, there are flags to celebrate homosexuality and there’s a celebration of many pagan things so who do you think owns Google? The devil ya? Facebook and instagram is now owned by “Meta” and Meta means “Death” in Hebrew so who do you think owns Facebook? Therefore be careful my brothers and sisters.

In Conclusion:

Remember there we are only on this earth for a short amount of time. However, the devil has been actively working against GODs people for thousands of years. Don’t you think the devil would change history in the year 412 so that the people in the year 2,000 could find it and be deceived? How can you trust history? How can you trust the random things you read or see on the internet? The Bible says many signs, miracles, and wonders will be done by false prophets and many will be deceived because people will believe their eyes instead of hiding the word of GOD in their hearts.

Psalm 119:11 – “Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.”

We are approaching a time in which people will be deceived by their own eyes and ears because they don’t believe GODS word they believe what they see and what they hear. They believe Google, they believe in their own research instead of believing in what GOD has given us in this Bible. They are still following Adam and Eve toward the Tree of Knowledge. Turn away from these things my brothers and read your Bible. Learn the Bible for yourself. Don’t rely on 60-90 second Instagram/Facebook videos to teach you about GODs word.

We must be diligent and learn GODs word for ourselves. Pray for understanding of the scriptures, and commit yourself to reading 3 chapters of the Bible every day, starting from the Book of Mathew Chapter 1, straight through until Revelation. Then once you’ve read it all read it again, you will learn more each time. We can’t not trust history, we can’t trust what the internet says will happen, or what it says has happened in before times. However, what we can trust is that GOD has preserved this Bible for his children.

Many people say “Jesus name isn’t this” or “Paul isn’t that” and these have let go of GODS word to trust in internet fables. Stay away from these things and even those people who insist you follow human research instead of the Bible. GOD’s word has been preserved and it has NOT changed.

Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”

GOD has protected his WORD for us. History is not protected it’s polluted by the devil, research is not protected it’s polluted by the devil, science is not protected it has also been polluted by the devil. So why you should put faith in these things? Put your faith in GOD’s WORDS. Put your faith in the sovereign GOD who has preserved his WORDS for us so that we will have light in the darkness.

Therefore even if someone’s eyes and ears deceive them they can say “I can’t fully trust what I see or hear, I must trust GODS word. GODS Word is my instruction and that’s what I must follow”. Study your Bible-Christian family. Learn it for yourself. Not only from priests teachers or content creators. Study yourself and pray to GOD in the name of Jesus. for the Holy Spirit to guide you in understanding.

That’s all for today guys, GOD bless you all who are in Christ Jesus.

The Walking Dead Are Already Here: Mourn For Them

The Walking Dead Are Already Amongst Us:

Do you know that we will all live “forever” in the technical sense of what it means to “live forever”. Meaning all people will continue to exist even after their body on earth dies. Some people will go on to be with the Lord in the new heaven and new earth, and other people will be thrown into the lake of fire where they will be tormented day and night.

Revelation 20:10 – “The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”

Therefore, according we the Bible, we must properly understand what “death” is. Death is not ceasing to exist anymore because we will ALL exist forever. Death is separation from GOD who is the source of ALL Life.

When Adam and Eve were created GOD instructed them that they must not eat of the knowledge of good and evil because if they eat of it they would surely die.

Genesis 2:17 – “but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Did Adam and Eve’s physical bodies drop dead the moment they ate the fruit of the tree? Certainly not. But did they instantly die? Yes, they certainly died instantly, because the moment they sinned they were separated from GOD. And if GOD is the source of LIFE then separation from the source of life is death.

All of nature works in a similar way. If you were to pluck a leaf off a tree, the leaf would die instantly because it’s been separated from the tree, however, the leaf would remain green and appear like it’s still alive for a few days, before its dried up death condition is visible.

Just look at what Jesus says to us in John 15:5

John 15:5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”

Therefore we are also like leaves that were once connected to GOD, but after we sinned those leaves were separated from the vine, and the process of decomposition began. For a leaf, it takes 3-7 days to fully decompose, but for a human, it takes 70-120 years to fully decompose. Therefore the reason we decompose in the first place is because death has already been working in our bodies due to sin. For the Bible says the wages of sin is death.

Adam and Eve were not created to die. They were going to live forever. There was no death until sin was introduced into the world. But because Adam sinned he died instantly (separated from GOD) and decomposed after 930 years(Genesis 5:5).

With that said, those who reject Jesus Christ have no life in them because the Bible says Jesus is the LIFE, and that whoever believes in Jesus will not perish, because the life that is inside of them will be eternal life.

John 11:25-26 – “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

Therefore “Life” and “Death” are not a matter of these physical bodies. Life and death depend on what is working on the inside of each person. These physical bodies are already decomposing because of the sins of Adam and Eve(as well as our own sins), and we will receive NEW bodies if our faith is in Jesus.

These corruptible physical bodies only hide the truth of our actual condition. When the physical body is stripped away due to it dying the reality of what is inside each person will be revealed. One person will have life still once his physical body has been stripped away and will be with the Lord, and the other person will see his condition is a death condition when his physical body is stripped away and he will be in hell.

So if this is the case, why do we wait for people to die physically for us to grieve for them? Should we not grieve them while they are still technically “alive”? Are the Walking Dead not already among us? The people who reject Christ, live in sin and are filled with death because of it. Should we not grieve for them now, while there is still time to save them? Should we only wait until it’s too late for them to grieve for them? If we as a people had the heart to grieve for the sinner now before they are fully decomposed I believe we would have the motivation to do all we could do to help them be saved.

Look at what Jesus said to the man who asked Jesus for permission to go and burry his dead father before following Jesus:

Luke 9:59-60 – “Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”

Jesus told him “No”. Jesus said the other dead people would be the ones to bury his dead Father. But how could a dead person bury another dead person? Because Jesus is saying that the sinners who are the walking dead, will bury the man’s father. Jesus referred to them as dead even though they were technically still breathing.

Therefore we should arm ourselves with the same mentality and not wait until our loved ones physically die to grieve for them. Let’s grieve for them now and do all we can to encourage them and persuade them to turn to Jesus Christ so that we will not have to grieve them as deeply after physical death because we will know that they have eternal life and are with the Lord.

Let’s see things with spiritual eyes in this matter. Those who are waiting on the apocalypse and zombies to appear in the earth, must understand that the zombies are already amongst us and we also have the antidote for them, and that antidote is Jesus. When they put their faith in Jesus they will be healed of their zombified state and come back to life. Those who are living in willful sin and those who reject Jesus Christ are the walking dead, but there is still hope for them to be saved. We know about the Antidote(Jesus). Let’s deliver this antidote to our brethren.

That’s all for today guys.

GOD bless you all who are in Christ Jesus.
