So often we hear: God can not other but love”. But God can. Jesus warned of condemnation, which is done in God’s wrath. Match Eze 25:17 I will exact great vengeance upon them with angry rebukes. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I exact my vengeance upon them.’” Isa 61:2 - Nah 1:2 - Eze 16:23 - and even St. Paul
in Heb 10:31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
So it’s obvious: God can also be angry and condemn.
How dare we humans to say “God can not” when we know, that nothing is impossible to God in Luke 1,37.
But then again we hear: God can’t change history. Of course He can, as there is nothing impossible to God: If or rather when God changed history, we’d never know. If we would know, we had two histories and a reason to quarrel which is the right one.
But still; take especially for changing history and earthly natural laws; Josua 10,12/13 …The sun stood motionless in the middle of the sky and did not set for about a full day.
God did a lot of things absolutely impossible to human logic; such as letting water burst out of a dry rock in Exodus 17:5-7, or let food fall off heavens (mana in Exodus 16,22-26 - which Jesus referred to as the bread from heaven in John 6,30–35). This has nothing to do with false interpretation as often claimed. It’s not just biblical stories, but God’s working and operations happen today all the same as ever.
Things absolutely impossible on earth, like >where God changed history< are done in divine dimensions with heavens knowing only, and we will see when we are there. Then we’ll say - "how true - why didn’t I even realize“.
We often hear: …where is the natural background with the feeding of 5000 with five loaves and two fish - plus 12 baskets of leftovers ?
The word CAN does not exist in connection with God; nor ABILITY, for all capabilities are man-bound, earth-bound, same as logic. Logic is given by God together with natural laws such as gravity. Though natural laws as impossibilities don’t mean a thing to the Creator of all there is - including time and space.
If God says: “This never happened, never was, never took place”, then this is so and that’s that! It indeed then never happened, and wouldn’t ever come to anyone’s, even Angel’s mind. It then really was not, never took place! No-one but God would know. Our material, „logic“ way of thinking, is way too limited to ever fathom God’s being, thinking and actions? We won’t be able to even in heaven; so how should we on earth!
There are many languages among mankind - many ways of thinking, thousands of doctrines - all of them just partly right; all except of God’s one and only, unchangeable doctrine of love - clarified by Jesus Christ. Still - even the sharpest spirit with the best expression and wording will never open the appreciation and understanding of biblical words meaning, if the Holy Spirit doesn’t give us the key for it. We’ll never receive this ability, if we deny God’s being. Real understanding as far as we are allowed to comprehend, is given to reborn Christians only. 1 Peter 1,23: You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.
It’s this that makes the joy of Christianity, Christian belief, sureness and safety. Therefore we must never say "GOD CAN NOT“.
Let me wish you a very happy Christmas. Christmas to us since our son Björn died, is anyhow "just“ a very holy holiday with intensive thanksgiving to the coming of God - of Christ for our salvation. This “just” though means more - not less than before. We very much wonder how these former humans who are now in heaven, celebrate Christmas…
Same goes to Easter and Whitsun. I should think that both feasts got same rank. Probably Christmas a bit more, for it was anyhow self-evident, that Jesus Christ would raise and resurrect after His human death. Raise and resurrect as still fully human and fully God. It would have been absolutely impossible not to!
It’s not too astonishing, that the apostles where surprised that Jesus did resurrect the third day, as He had predicted, for they where not yet filled with the Holy Spirit. Even the sharpest mind with the best expression and wording will never find the appreciation and understanding of the words meaning, if the Holy Spirit doesn’t give us the key for it“. Christ though send the Holy Spirit to the Apostles and to His Church on Whitsun (Pentecost). Ever since the Holy Spirit is available for us - if we ask God’s Spirit to be with us.
Still; the sentence: "all human beings are equal before God“ is not 100% right. For God Himself - Jesus Christ, differs a lot - like; „he who believes will not be judged “ and „he who doesn’t believe is condemned already“. If all would be equal, it wouldn’t matter if one believes or not. It’s a world of difference between belief and disbelief. A world of difference as well in the life of the individual, as in our known or unknown divine reality of our relation to God.
Atheists will often ask the absolutely silly question: Can God create a rock too big for Himself to lift? If he can, He is not all-powerful and if He cannot, He is not all-powerful. But, this is a question which does not apply to God in the first place.
Of course this whole complex doesn’t apply to God, but since those questioners doubt God anyhow; to be able to provide a God-confirming answer, would be great. Even as it’s a ridiculously challenging arrogant question, It doesn’t help if we say „that’s a silly question“ (as I often answered), for atheists then still feel confirmed in their disbelief.
