Yeah, I think a lot of people believe in what they call, "a punishing god." Of course there's two types of people who say that: one who just want to do whatever they want and two, those who see God like abusive parents, corrupt judges, degenerate leaders, debauched teachers and all decrepate authorities who often over-react/neglect them when they sin, make mistakes or need help.
I think Satan, our flesh and The World will use that to try and get us to turn away from God. Satan wants to drag us to Hell, our flesh wants to be free of God's Law and so does The World. So, that evil triad will use scandalous things like that to decieve us.
If God is unjust, then He doesn't deserve our fidelity. If He is just, then He does. So, we must remember that although people often treat us unjustly, God never does. However, our own fears and resentments can corrupt our thinking and perceptions. So we must be ever vigilant.
I didn't get the Gomer images and etc?
anyway, yeh. I don't believe God is degenerate or anything... except that, well, 2b honest I have had the thought that he is against me.. more than a few times here & there throughout life.. so maybe I can't say that I never thought something along those lines.
Anyway... yeh, I sometimes think the devil disguises himself (well i know he does) and wants us to get angry at God for all the evil in our lives... But then on the other hand, who can say that God does this or doesn't do that?
I mean, if God wants to ... well, you know.. He caused Jesus to cry out
Why have you abandoned me?
which cry I believe was also what Jesus knew that we ourselves would cry out (we followers of him.. being persecuted)
