I Hate This Sin Why Does God Not Take It!

1Cor.13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.

Examples can be good, such as, truth is not always truth if we don't have love. Those having the dogma of truth can't really understand that truth without love is not truth at all, at least no God's love!

We are going to state some undeniable truth's if we believe that God is the Almighty.

“I have this problem which is a sin against God, God knows that I hate this sin, and I love him so why does he not take it away?”

Truth is God does have the power to fix any problem mankind has, truth is, God hates sin, and tells us not to sin, so if I love God why is he not taking this problem away?

1 John 3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

Truth, truth, truth, but have we the truth created by love? Is the best human logic the truth of God?

1.
Most of us have drawn this same conclusion when struggling with some sin we have, and we just hate it, because it reproach God's name and we are constantly plagued with a bad conscience finding ourselves in one painful experience after another that we don't think, or want to go through. However, do we have the love of God so we can know the truth? You see, as we all know that without love knowledge is worthless.

1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

Where did any one of us get the idea that if we are a Christian's we stop sinning? Moreover, where did anyone of us get the idea that we understand we all sin according to God's word the bible, but addictions sins are gone once we become a Christian's? Where did the idea come from that God accept some sin as long as they aren't too much, so there is a safety zone of tolerance for certain sins allowed within our Christian groups as long as they are not ones found outside the Christian's safety zone of sins?

Where did anyone of us get the idea that the degree of sin makes us more, or less acceptable to God?

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Conversely, since we are headed down the long road of human logic that is against the Spirit of God; God has all power so why aren't we living in paradise on earth right now? Why should we suffer in sickness, sorrow, pain, and death, why should any human have to die or suffer, why has God if he loves us and we love him not stopped all suffering from sin, doesn't the bible tells us he is love?

Rom.9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!

Parroting of Righteousness

A very hard truth; knowledge of something does not make it truth one can be a genius and not know the truth. We human love knowledge and we parrot words, like a bird which are meaningless words, but fun. Furthermore, because we are smarter than a bird we deceive ourselves into thinking our knowledge can be parroted into words that makes such knowledge/words the truth.

1 John 2:21 I have not written to you because you don't know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

We are really impressed by a bird parroting words, by children speaking and acting like adults. Sadly, if we are that easily taken in by such a show and we chose not to realize that until the child suffer in paying the bills, going to work sick, showing up every day at a job they don't like to take care of someone besides themselves their words have not become truth at least in the real world they must learn to live in! Thinking of only self for attention is not the truth of any society on earth, let alone the Christian's faith.

Rom.12:2 Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. 12:3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

The question is who built the house, who put all the hard labor and suffering into giving us a home, a place to live, who takes care of us, when we can't, because we are to young or old? Can a child appreciate that by acting like an adult for attention, attention is not truth or even the respect for their parents deserve for their hard work?

I remember when I was a young man living in a logging community the men that most of us boys went to work for were men of very few words.

They didn't need to be wordy, they didn't have to explain the job over and over again it was pretty simple - go do it! The work was so hard, and dangerous that in just a few minutes a new hire was put to such an extreme test that words didn't matter. The new person knew immediately that if a man could do this impossible job they must be smarter, far stronger, and deserving of respect, and so they better listen to the boss or they would never be able to do the job.

Matthew 20:22 But Jesus answered, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" They said to him, "We are able."

Words became truth in an instant! Those men that had those jobs took great pride in their work because each day was long and hard and they had stay the course where many before could not! There was no mommies boys on those jobs, one could not believe they were so special that they could do any thing they wanted because mommy had told them how wonderful and smart they were not to hurt their tender esteem.

Job 1:12 Yahweh said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don't put forth your hand." So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh.

The truth was that most could not do the job words and being told they were special proved to be an outright failure and a humiliation of pride, nothing more then foolish childish thinking.

Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men."

Parroting words of righteousness from a bible, or a group does not make a person a mature Christian's so that their life is in service for the needs of others, nor does it make them above the suffering that Christ stated we all must go through for us to understand the truth of God's love for us. Human logic is pointless without the test of our faith under extreme working conditions.

Isa.40:18 To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to him?

The propaganda of this world by the lie of telling children from birth that they are so special that suffering is a sign of weaknesses does not, nor has it ever applied to the vast majority of the human race, every! We must face the truth, if God loves us, and if we love God we will suffer as did God's own Son Christ Jesus did endlessly on this earth.

Isaiah 53:3 He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn't respect him.

2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

Christ carried the sins of mankind, God did not take those sins away, to prove his love, Christ did not lack faith in God's power; those sins made Christ sick, look weak, they were plagues upon him, and he was murder for them.

What evil did Christ do to deserve such treatment, didn't God love his son? More importantly did Christ believe his Father YHWH was evil for not taking those sins away, in his suffering, and if not, why didn't Christ call God evil?

Philippians 1:29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

So question is? What are we missing in this unappreciative, unrepentant religious society that has sunk into the depths of hell, what is missing in Christianity today? What is this spirit that has created this feel good Christian's religion today, where is it coming from, where each person has this little high dollar book they read daily telling them how precious they are, and special they are that life on earth is nothing but blessing from God, if we claim it as his chosen people!

Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand.

Heb.12:6 For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives."{Proverbs 3:11-12} 12:7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn't discipline? 12:8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.

What blessing did Christ receive on this earth, but the perfecting of his faith under horrific testing?

Rom. 9:20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"{Isaiah 29:16; 45:9}

Rom. 9:21 Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
9:22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction, 9:23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory.

James.1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

2Cor.12:7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively. 12:8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 12:9 He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
