SOME BAD-YET-RIGHT
THINGS THAT GOD DOES

 

PAST BAD-YET-RIGHT

 

In the past, God:

      o    Made the universe second class.
,                  Perhaps see later webpage: The design of everything.

 

      o    Ejected Adam & Eve from the garden of Eden.    Gen c3 v23

 

      o    Flooded the earth.   Gen c6 – c7

 

      o    Hardened Pharaoh’s heart.    Exo c4 v21
,                  Perhaps by excessively challenging Pharaoh, through Moses;
,                  Pharaoh being very proud.

 

      o    Harmed the Egyptians (Israel’s slave-masters).    Exo c7 – c11

 

      o    Killed the Egyptian army.    (Exo c11 – c13)   c14   (c15 – c17)

 

      o    Threatened to kill all Jews except Moses.    Exo c32 v1-14

 

      o    Killed or harmed rebel Israelites.   Num c12    &    c16

 

      o    Killed Israel’s enemies.    1 Sam c17

 

      o    Killed inhabitants of the land he’d promised to give to Israel.
            Num c13 duplicated from earlier   Josh c6 v21

 

      o    Punished king David
            by killing his son.    2 Sam c11 v1 – c12 v19.

 

      o    Jesus turned tables over at the Temple
            and cursed a fig tree.    Matt c21 v17-22     Mark c11 v11-25    

,                  ,                  I reckon Jesus cursed a fig tree
,                  ,                  Matt c21 v19-20     Mark c11 v12-14   &   v20
,                  ,                  because it was like the ‘religious’ leaders
,                  ,                  that he knew he was about to meet.

,                            ,         It was all leaves.  They were all show.
          ,                  ,         It had no fruit.  They had nothing good to offer.
,                            ,         Matt c21 v21 – c23 v36     Mark c11 v27 – c12 v40 .

 

      o    The Father allowed the Son to be crucified in our place.
,                  Repeated from earlier on this webpage.

PRESENT BAD-YET-RIGHT

 

Currently, in this Church Age:

      o    There is nothing for me to put here:
            God does nothing bad, nothing destructive,
            in this Church Age.

,                  Though perhaps also see half way down third cell
,                  (starting And, even in this,)
,                  of later section: GOD IS ALWAYS CONSTRUCTIVE IN THE LONG RUN, 
,                  and the links within it.
,                  (This link does not open a new tab.)


As for where today’s bad things do come from,
see later section: SO, WHERE DO TODAY’S BAD THINGS COME FROM? ,,,,
(i.e. much of the next webpage).

.

 

FUTURE BAD-YET-RIGHT

 

Perhaps again see earlier section: GOOD & BAD, RIGHT & WRONG.

 

In the future:

      o    At the end of the world
            God will send to Hell all those who’ve done evil.
,                  Perhaps see left hand columns
,                  of later webpage:
,                  The two ways God sorts us: Judgment & Forgiveness.

 

      o    At the end of the world
            God will send to Hell all those who refuse to believe that,
            by way of Jesus’ crucifixion, the Father Forgave us all:
            refuse to accept the righteousness that God gave us all
            and instead prefer to keep their own righteousness.
,                  Perhaps see right hand columns
,                  of later webpage:
,                  The two ways God sorts us: Judgment & Forgiveness.

,                  Perhaps see later section:
,                  1a) THE TWO UNFORGIVABLE SINS: BOTH SPIRITUAL.,,
