Hi Brayden from Australia!
Answers are below. I urge you to read very carefully.
I am a 19 year old Christian male from Australia.
1) I don’t understand how you say the things you do when our God is a merciful God? God
does not hate, he loves each and everyone of us. How can you condemn a whole
nation? eg. Australia and USA
The Sovereign and Jealous God of the Bible, that Man of War (Ex
15:3), only loves His ELECT, the remnant, the contrite sinner which is a small
fixed number of His creation that He is merciful too. That blessed mercy is
that they are spared the eternal torment of hell by His divine and perfect
will. The rest of mankind is hated and abhorred by Him, being damned from
eternity past, not ever having their name in the Book of Life. They go to hell.
They have no mercy and love. Do you really think God loves those He sent to
hell?
2) I don’t understand how you can be happy with your global status, if we were so
condemned and judgement day is drawing nearer like you say, why do you not help
us? Instead of insulting the world, why don’t you help?
We praise God that this little church of nobodies are permitted at
His hand to preach to the entire world. We ARE helping you according to the
Lord’s commandment ‘to love our neighbor’ by warning this entire generation to
flee the wrath to come. In reality, everyone else hates you with their lies and
encouragement of proud sin. There is no other help but to urge you to obey God.
The problem is that you refuse the only help offered, the lifeline, obedience
to Christ.
3) I am a very strong believer in karma, i believe that what goes around comes around. I have
countless examples of it, do you never worry that you are wrong? That maybe the
‘God’ you worship has been created through hate? Do you ever worry that the
hate you deal will come back and bite you?
It is a lie that you can be a Christian, obedient to Christ, and
also believe in Karma. Karma is a satanic doctrine from the false religion,
Buddhism, designed to take away the sovereignty of God. Everything that
happens flows from the Creator and was predestinated to happen by that Creator.
He will not have you give His glory to another. NO, I don’t worry that I am
wrong because I can read and the words are plain.
Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to
another, neither my praise to graven images.
Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God:
Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
[Esau is the standing type in the Bible for all reprobates, hated by
God.(Gen 25:23)]
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto
wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
2 Thessalonians 1:7…when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his
mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not
God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who
shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord,
and from the glory of his power;
This is a just tiny sample of the scores of verses throughout the
Bible. The Bible, which is Christ (John 1), is clear about the nature of our
Sovereign and Just Creator. He is wrath, vengeance and judgment unto the
wicked man and He is mercy, love and salvation unto the righteous man. The
Lord’s people believe and preach the whole counsel of God. God’s wrath, not
Karma, will abide upon those who loveth an maketh a lie (Rev. 22:15). So stop
that!
4) I have watched documentaries on your church and have been as open minded and understanding as
I possibly can. Steve Drain quoted about the Nazis/swastika “…one of the
ways the Lord kicked your ass for your disobedience” In no religion do i
find it at all appropriate to refer to the Holocaust as “kicking ass.”
God caused the Holocaust, the Flood of Noah, etc… This is His world,
His creation and His will. Millions of rebellious, Christ-rejecting Jews
died at the hand of the Lord’s instrument, that evil man Hitler. He used a
rebel to punish and kill rebels in the Holocaust. Just like He used the
Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar to punish the ancient Jews (Ezra 5:12; Jer 27).
You don’t believe God, so you don’t believe the words. When billions are sent
to hell for their proud sin, rest assured God has ‘kicked their ass.’ Get this
image – “their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9) and “the smoke of their
torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night…”
(Rev 14:11).
5) It confuses me how you can condemn a country (your country that YOU live and preach in) to
hell. IF it is so ‘condemned” that would you not say it is safe to assume
so are you? Also when you thank God for the bushfires we have here, or
911 or any sort of disaster where innocent life is lost, do you honestly
believe that God is happy about that? Do you think God sits watching over the world thinking “wow I
love the Westboro Baptist church, the ONLY church who worships anarchy and
hate. Now how am i going to kill some people today?”
We are simply telling every nation that their rebellion to God has
caused their destruction, per His decree.
Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that
forget God.
Proverbs 1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my
reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a
whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
6) My question to you is this: How can you be so careless and cold? If everyone against you is
wrong, and your so right…How come you are the first and the only
church/people who think it?
Nothing new here, Brayden. These words have been preached since the
first man, Adam. Today, these words seem foreign to you because the Lord has
caused a famine of the Word of God for His purpose to hide them from most of
His creation. You have now heard them. Pray that your eyes can see and your
ears can hear.
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a
famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of
hearing the words of the LORD:
2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie:
We are your only true friends urging you to come out from this
corrupt generation and obey your God. There is no other hope of salvation
outside of submitting and obeying Him that gave you breath of life and can take
it back in a instant.
Thanks for writing!
