Are you Codependent with God? 

Some Christians think of God like a Chihuahua that keeps peeing on the floor, and then, instead of continuing to be upset about the pee on the floor they say well it must be some sovereign divine will let us inscrutable. Jesus has standards and he wants you to have standards and he wants you to recognize a problem in your life as bad and to try and get that fixed, and we should be asking him for that problem to be fixed and we should try to fix it within reason. We should not blame the bad things in the world on God, but rather people and the devil and random chance, according to the book of Ecclesiastes.

So not only have you accused God of the evil that takes place in the world, that, by his hand, he did the evil, now you’re getting codependent with him, and you’re blaspheming him, saying that he did it for an evil reason, accusing God of doing evil in the hope of achieving good. A blasphemy according to the apostle Paul. In book of Romans, chapter 1. Even more, God wants you to have standards, and he wants you to believe in heaven. Not just to believe that heaven is real what to believe in what heaven is all about and to know that that’s what God wants for everybody. Our father, who art in heaven, how would be their name, they kingdom come, they will be done, ON HER HAS IT IS IN HEAVEN. We’re supposed to believe not only that heaven exists, but we’re supposed to believe in what heaven is about and what it’s like and that that’s the way God is in the way God wants it to be. We have to believe that when God says seven times in Genesis that everything is very good, that he really means it, and that he doesn’t actually mean horrible, and that our dictionary are agreed and that good really is good. God once you have some standards, if bad things are happening to you in your life, he wants that to stop. God doesn’t like bad things happening to you. That’s not his will. God loves you. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. There are real cars in affect relations in this universe. They can be very subtle and complicated and I think a lot of Christians give up on trying to get it fixed even if we can’t get it fixed, which is a big gift, for God, raise the dead for Elijah, Then we’re supposed supposed to be opposed to evil and bad, and to be for good and wonderful things. Even if we’re in prison for Christ, we’re supposed to understand that that’s a bad thing, a torment. We may endure it for Christ and look forward to a reward, but that doesn’t mean that we should become masochistic and enjoy jail! We can rejoice in that situation, that doesn’t mean that we should believe that God is the one doing it and therefore it must be good and therefore we should like it both physically and morally and spiritually. We can be glad that we’re suffering for God, but we should understand that it is suffering. Scripture says that God is pleased with his people are able to live in peace and let the gospel may be respected. It’s not God’s will that North Korea should throw so many Christians and they are distant relatives into jail

Had to cut the video, so I’m just gonna say number three: book of Ecclesiastes says that “time and chance happened to the mall.” In addition to bad people doing bad things, and in addition to the devil, and his kingdom, doing bad things, the book of Ecclesiastes does say that there is time and chance, and that time and random chance happen to everybody, “..happens to them all.” Calvinism says that there is no random chance but the book of Ecclesiastes says that there is random chance and I’ve had Christians just about jump off the couch at Bible study and sock me one in the face for saying that the book of Ecclesiastes cites random chance. But God wrote that book not me, so I don’t have to worry about quoting it!
