This third part of the Mantra addresses what the Bible says about what God does with out sins. It is shocking to realize that God understands we did not choose to be born here on this planet with its mess of a situation. When we understand what is really going on and have the courage to believe what God has already done it transforms our lives. We are never the same again. The pdf is at www.rediscoveringgod.ca

Jesus tells the story of the Prodigal Son to illustrate how God feels about each one of us, even if we have rebelliously left Him in our past as wanted Him to leave us alone. But this Father, who had been so shamed by his arrogant son excitedly welcomes him home and showers him with gifts to convince him that he is truly a son and not a slave. What a beautiful picture of how precious we are to the Father. The pdf can be found at www.rediscoveringgod.ca

We begins a series that we call Ian's Mantra. In this first one we look at the people that were called by name by God. The conclusion is that if God knows them by name He also knows you and me by name. It is true. God know you by name. You are so important to Him I had to tell you.

As we conclude this series on God and Evil we look closely at the cross to discover if there is anything revealed about the agency of evil. If there was ever a time for God to lash out at sinners that would have been the time. We were killing Jesus but in the process we made him suffer to the greatest extent possible. Instead God in Jesus asks them to be forgiven and excuses them for the didn't know what they were doing. What an amazing God we have come to discover. The pdf is at www.rediscoveringgod.ca

There he is hidden in plain sight. The destructive power attempting to destroy the Seven Churches, demonstrated in the Seven Seals, presented in the Seven Trumpets. His advocacy for violence and evil is presented in the Seven Battle scenes. He also engineers the Seven Last Plagues to destroy the planet. Join us to discover the hidden enemy in the book of Revelation. The pdf is available at www.rediscoveringgod.ca

The clear teaching of Jesus is that there is only one that is responsible for the evil in this world. Clearly Jesus indicts Satan for human suffering and moral evil. He is the one that comes only to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came to bring life, abundant life. Jesus exonerates God in every way of any complicity with evil. He is pure light, goodness and love.

While sins causation is a mystery the Bible does identify the being in which it originated. This identification was not clear to the Old Testament writers. They simply attribute everything good and evil to God. It is clear in the Old Testament that evil and violence originated with God. We will look at the Old Testament evidence. But then in part 2 Jesus sets the record straight and unveils the true god of violence and brutal warfare. The PDF is available at www.rediscoveringgod.ca

Catastrophes and tragedies are not God's punishment or justice for wrongdoing. They are the consequences of living on this planet. The second meaning of justice is restorative justice. He knows that we did not choose to be born on this planet, into this world of sin. God's heart is to bring restoration to all that are affected by sin. Rather than punishment or revenge He wants to heal and restore. The PDF is available at www.rediscoveringgod.ca
