Gott, die Bibel und politische Justiz: Warnung!
WARNUNG!
This book may be harmful to your current peace of mind. Read at your own risk.
Bitte zuerst lesen!
Dies ist ein unglaublich schmerzhaft Buch.
No one should have written it. No one should read it. It should not be necessary. But here it is. God’s heart laid bare for all to critique.
We want justice. We want peace. We want love. We want everything He offers. But do we want Him?
This is the question from the beginning of time. This is the question we were born to answer. Do we want Him?
Diese Frage drückt uns, wie wir eine Welt frei von Lösungen konfrontiert; Welt schreit nach einer Alternative, um alle seine früheren Überzeugungen und Glaubenssätze; eine Welt Wetter zerkleinert, Bevölkerung, Armut, Unruhen und verheerende Krankheiten; eine Welt, Sehnsucht, Traum, aber ohne Vision; eine Welt, Sehnsucht, aber keine Optionen ändern; eine Welt mit sprudelnden Potenzial einer großen Zeit in der Geschichte der Menschheit, aber ohne Trommel schlagen zu folgen.
He is who we are looking for. He is the dream fulfilled, the one who offers us our destiny. But will we allow Him to be Himself? This is an odd question in a generation that is asking that so strongly for themselves. Let us be us! Fair enough, Gott sagt:. But first you must let Me be Me.
In diesem Buch werden wir auf politischer Gerechtigkeit suchen, einer der Wünsche eines jeden Herzens, the cry of billions and the demand of many nation’s people. We have only one concern and that is “what does God say?” There is only one book for us to turn to in this study, das ist Gottes Buch. In the Bible God does not say what we want Him to say. He does not tell us how to take power and make our nations good and just. He does not tell us how to legislate sin out of our towns and streets. Er gibt uns nicht eine Strategie.
Stattdessen, He tells us our story and His purpose. It is an unrelentingly tragic journey through the history of man. We begin with an amazing vision of possibility for God’s human creation. The cosmos is made for our inheritance. We are co-regents with God in dominion. Perfection, regal authority and eternal comradeship with our maker is all ours. It is breathtaking.
Destiny Zerstörung
Von Genesis Kapitel drei aber es ist eine ganz andere Geschichte. We are in freefall from sin and beginning with fratricide by chapter six we are all the way to human genocide. What is that all about? Nearly ten generations of human destruction ending in a violent global catastrophic flood. Why even read this stuff. What is the point? Where is God in all of this? Warum nicht einfach überspringen und sich diese vor Gericht im Neuen Testament. Denn das ist Gottes ausgewählt Geschichte und er will, dass wir es verstehen,. Wenn wir seinen Segen wollen müssen wir Sein Denken verstehen. Wollen Sie Ihn oder Ihre Vorstellung von Ihm? You have to make a choice
Schließlich gibt es einige Erleichterung, als Gott ruft ein Mann einen Stammvater, eine neue Nation, sich zu offenbaren. But from the first generation of Abraham there is lying and cheating and difficult alternative families. Within four generations we are back to near fratricide of Joseph and genocide of the Shecemites. This is followed by more than 400 years of slavery as God deals with Abraham’s legacy. Where is the joy here?
Das Gesetz
Reprieve comes again in the form of the Law given to Moses to disciple the nearly free nation of Israel. God begins to speak for Himself and gives clear, concise and very specific instruction for how to achieve justice in a community. Five books, 10 commandments and one small nation should be doable. God is with them. They make a covenant with Him. Finally we are moving forward.
We have some good years and some bad years but it all hits the fan again. 2000 years from Joshua to the last Kings of Israel and total destruction of the promised nation. Sure there are highs and lows. Much of what God wanted is achieved even a certain amount of political justice but then it deteriorates into bloody chaos again.
But then there is David. Ja, unsere besten politischen Führer, only a murderer and an adulterer. But he had a heart for God? Ja, er tat. But there is Solomon. Ja, the pinnacle of national history. A man of great wisdom from God in governing but so little wisdom at all in his personal life. The King of Israel’s greatest age and the father of the Kings that will in one generation begin to tear it all apart and take the nation to total destruction. Why read this stuff? Why dwell on this for hundreds of pages? And then we have the Prophets and a few hundred more pages of pain? Surely God wants us to put this awful history behind us and get to Jesus, peace and joy. More than a thousand pages of historic torture for what when we now have the good news of the New Testament.
Gibt es einen Punkt?
Es ist Gottes Punkt! He is telling us who we are, what we were made to be and what we have become. He is telling us what He has had to witness, weint mit, and address in order to bring us back to our destiny. He is telling us the cost, die schmerzhafte unerbittlichen Leiden von Gott und Mensch, der ganzen Schöpfung, weil der Missbrauch unserer menschlichen Autorität, die Kosten der Ignoranz, die Kosten für die Verlorenheit, the cost of the dream behind giving man authority in the first place. He is telling us everything else has been tried in human history and failed. He is telling us that we want the wrong king, , dass wir für den falschen Reich und jedes Mal suchen Er versucht, die Menschheit in die richtige Richtung lehnen wir ihn rühren!
When we reject the Old Testament pain we are rejecting God’s view of humanity and reality. We are saying that we don’t want this God to be God. We don’t want this to be the truth about who we are. We do not what this to be the story. We want Jesus! And Jesus does come.
Wir wollen Jesus
When Jesus comes his male peer group is slaughtered. When He comes His own people work with a pagan empire to execute Him. He is not the King they want. “But He is resurrected. He ascends!” He does, und der Geist kommt, the power of God in man to carry out his destiny. "Ja, Dies ist die einzige; this is the King we asked for.” The church explodes and sweeps the known world. “Yup, this is the wave we were waiting for.” But then it begins. Persecution from within, Gläubigen verbündet sich gegen Gläubige; and from without political domination and persecution from Empirical governments with different agendas. The church struggles to be His church and we continue to argue about what kind of King He actually is, den ganzen Weg durch die ersten drei Kapitel der Offenbarung.
Wenn Er ist nicht gekommen, um uns die Kontrolle? If He has not come to give us peace and comfort, wenn Er ist nicht gekommen, um Sünde und Gewalt zu stoppen, was ist dann der Punkt? Why are we still here, auf der Erde, Leiden?
Das ist eine sehr wichtige Frage und die Antwort, die Sie haben, um durch das, was Gott ging durch gehen und sehen, was er gesehen hat, bevor Sie verstehen, was er über Gerechtigkeit versteht, auf der Erde und im Himmel.
“Many people have compassion for the lost. I have compassion for God.”
