Would you like to know the Truth? (Part I)

A piece of Christian paraphernalia was left on my door this past week entitled, “Would You Like to Know the Truth?”

I said, “Yes, please enlighten me!”

And then I read, “Does God really care about us?” And the response was:

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES: God never causes what is wicked. “Far be it from the true God to act wickedly, and the Almighty to act unjustly!” says Job 34:10

Wow! And this came from the book of Job. The same book where God permits Satan to go to earth and take everything Job has just to test Job’s devotion to God. Job loses all of his livestock and all of his servants, then all of his sons and daughters were crushed to death, and then he was inflicted with painful sores — all in an effort to prove to God that he was a righteous man.

Far be it from the true God to act wickedly?

Deuteronomy 28:61 “The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.”

I could go on for hours. Want to know the Truth — read the Bible! You’ll be amazed at the wickedness of the God of the Israelites!
