Are God’s Principles of Government Ours?
A question raised by Dwight Robinson (@ConduceTruth at X.com in X Spaces “Peace Through Strength or Meekness”)
Character of Love
God’s On Trial
Discover the Biblical evidence that not just mankind but God is on trial. To most Christians unaware of that evidence this appears a mere novel speculation, but not to King David and not to the apostle Paul. God has an Accuser who is biblically well identified and whose initial and enduring accusations began in heaven before angels and extended to Earth in Lucifer’s subtle insinuations in the garden to Eve. To this day those accusations fuel the rejection of God. Can Christ before His Father is vindicated by a correct representation of God’s character.
“Satan is the Destroyer, but Christ is the Restorer”
“We are sons and daughters of God. Satan is the destroyer and Christ is the restorer. He will make us partakers of His holiness. God does not make light of sin, but He seeks to rescue us from sin. There is not in Jesus Christ harsh, stern repulsiveness or resentment; and if we have the character of Christ we shall have His mold. There is no forcing us to holiness, but in His own likeness He wishes us to imitate His character, to admire Him—true, pure, generous, and loving.”
The Wrath of God Revealed at the Flood
In this study we begin by observing several manners of speech related to the flood which similarly, if taken at face value, leave the reader at best puzzled at God, and at worst leads them to reject Him as a loveless tyrant. We sympathize with those who look at the simple language and have difficulty concluding that it does not entirely mean what it says.

Hell At The Cross
Some people believe that Christ went to hell after He died. This would be true in the sense that hell is sometimes properly interpreted as the grave both in Hebrew and Greek, and Christ went to that grave. But hell has another biblically proper interpretation by which Christ went to hell before He died. In fact, when He gave up His spirit and died, it was a sweet release from the torment of that living hell.

The Bible Must Be Allowed to Interpret Itself
Can the Bible be trusted? Does the Bible contradict itself? Is every word of the Bible inspired? Is there a difference between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New? Will there be any new light? How can we know the truth? Are there principles of interpretation whereby we might rightly divide the Word of Truth?

In The Beginning
The essence of this study reveals what is at the heart of the conflict between God and Satan. Which one can truly be trusted? Which one is telling the truth? Which one truly loves us? Which one is the real God, the Creator God or the one who claims to be god of this world? Which one if obeyed, will produce eternal life?
Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16) And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Will The Real God Please Stand Up!
Who killed the firstborn of Egypt? How did the plagues come about? Who hardened Pharaoh’s heart? Who was the “destroyer?” On closer examination we will discover that things are not always as they appear. As we explore God’s involvement in the plagues of Egypt, we must apply Biblical principles of interpretation to correctly answer these questions, contextually applying those principles that govern God’s interaction with man and the adversary’s government. Three such principles are applied in this study, which are much more extensively validated in our study “The Bible Must Be Allowed To Interpret Itself.”
PRINCIPLE: God’s ways and thoughts are not the same as ours. Therefore when interpreting Scripture we cannot safely impute to God definitions and motives as they are commonly applied to man. Scripture must be allowed to interpret Scripture.

The Wrath of God, What Is It?
Have you ever had someone tell you, “To hell with God! I did not ask to be born! I am nothing but a puppet and if I don’t do what He says, He’s going to burn me! What’s with that? You can have Him!” Or, have you ever had someone tell you, “I want nothing to do with your damning God!” Have you ever had someone tell you “I tried to be like Jesus, but I couldn’t? I like the God of the Old Testament.”
Sadly, I have. What is the truth about the God who is considered to be the epitome of love? Would you drown, burn or bury alive your child if he rejected your love? Would that be considered love among humans? Would that be considered mercy? Would that be considered justice? Why no. You would likely spend the rest of your life in prison and rightly so. Yet some would reasonably argue that, though we humans cannot understand the God of love, His justice is no less love than His mercy? We would agree. But to see God’s love in His “wrath” as more than a theoretical acknowledgment is the purpose of this study. If we are to escape the wrath of God we must know Him as He truly is.
