1 Corinthians 14:33

[Aerex]

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

If this is the case why has God caused all of this confusion in the world from different religions to different interpretation.

God did indeed subject the creation to vanity......in hope, knowing the end from the beginning.

Christ is stability in our lives, and brings us peace in the world that is in a state of confusion. 
We get delivered from our personal state of confusion through faith in the love of God through Jesus Christ.   The rest of the world has not yet arrived, but we can offer what has been given to us.

Why?  I don't know for sure, but it most certainly leads back to love.

God who is love, and made the ages through love(Jesus Christ), is allowing us to go through various trials so we can see and manifest more love. 

The questions that you have about faith are all part of growing in Christ.

I'm no know it all, I just want to know one thing, the way, the truth, the life, the peace, that is in the risen Christ Jesus.

The confusion in the world needs and has a body of Christ that is alive and manifesting the way, the truth, the life, the peace, and love that is in Christ.

That is God's love for the world, a present administration of love.

the spirit of truth will lead you into all truth[out of the confusion]  He is the truth!  many false christs/false-prophets compete

for our ear[satan has his own transforming angels[messengers ] of light.liars/murderer and robber spirits.

    spirit and truth..you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.[from all confusion/doubt]

[Lazarus Short]

If there is confusion currently, and if God made it so [that's a BIG if] then He is doing it as one of His tools.  Remember that He has not given all to understand everything in this life.  Some are left in ignorance and/or confusion in this life.  I do not understand it all, but I accept it.  In time, all will be made clear.

Amen to all of the above! It's my belief God made all things perfect, as what with being Perfect Himself, He could do no less (imo). And in His perfection, that He chose, knowing all the end from the beginning, to endow thinking ability.

Which, although so very very limited, includes sooner or later the ability to make choices.. and thus the world as it is, for the result of self interest (ultimately) is lies and oppression among other things. Yet Jesus, having been "lifted up from the earth, will draw all" unto Him.

And thus, I believe, is the world saturated with lies / untruth. I believe He has (of course?) done all things just the way He has in order to bring about the very best of all outcomes and 'end' results. That He is not done with the work of creation, but creation includes proving and etching deeply upon every heart, mind and psyche the full understanding of good from evil which (imo) is also life from death and true from untrue, but most importantly is life from nonlife. Nonlife, imo, being the very real potential, but which none will be lost to. For He is "gathering all things in heaven and earth" (fully, joyfully and wholeheartedly) into Jesus".

That would include, among other things, the inability of any one to boast.

    Amen!  ...He being all in all.. :dsunny:

I don't think God caused it. He just did little to prevent it.

Good answers all around!! :thumbsup:

I thought about if you leave the world to itself  , it will be consuming itself ..  devouring  beast  # 4 in Daniel    7 ;7 ...  beast  iron  teeth  crushing  and trampling
  between   the good and evil       , both are at work       , the good and evil mixing and confusion

  Many believe the Roman empire is the 4th  beast  !!  In allegory     to me it is BABYLON   still  , but under the different Kings of the earth 

But Jesus Christ IS THE KING[ONE AND ONLY ]  of  kings [many rulers] and LORD /MASTER of lords/ masters  [many]  given power to  do evil , BUT ONLY GOD IS GOOD     , JESUS CHRIST IS THE  ONLY GOOD  THAT MAKES PERFECT , complete   , entire and without lack   , all them others are destroyers    that work eveil in the world         and make you wonder where is God in all this mess !? !!   

HE IS ONLY    revealed to those whom faith , hope and LOVE   are manifested in    , because without faith it is impossible to please HIM !!! 

How do we acquire faith ?    every man is given a measure  of it , and its what you DO  with that faith  that   determines the outcome   .....

  The  scriptures are TRUTH  ,   there is a narrow path   that leads to Life  AND few find it in this life      ..world      realm ,     and there is the broad path that leads to destruction [violence ]  and this is the    truth of the matter  , many go though this way to    receive Christ      in the end ..   and Christ gives all this over to God to be all and all in the end         
Every knee will bow and surrender  GIVE UP    and every tongue confess Christ  , without leaving   anyone out in the end of   the age of being human  , flesh and blood  , It is just some are surrendering     now while still in the flesh and blood      realm         , for me this is the difference      between    knowing God now and not knowing God now ........  this life and its troubles and woes   leads many to      have    CHOKE OUT THE WORD OF GOD / LIVING   INSIDE THEM

The parable of the seeds planted in men's hearts being the WORD OF GOD / JESUS CHRIST     the Salvation anointed    ONE    in Jesus   testimony !  Jesus testimony is the    Spirit of prophecy that is TRUE  and comes to pass      over and over and over again  in this realm   .

NOUN archaic literary law
a kingdom:
"the peers of the realm"
synonyms: kingdom · country · land · dominion · nation
   and the 30 fold and 60 fold and 100 fold      reaping and sowing    of Gods  WORD  LIVING IN them , the 100 %  is the  complete and perfect  coming  within them  .  that Paul says are some    now , even back in his time   when he wrote   what he was  witnessing by the Spirit of truth     being the testimony of Jesus Christ  and expounding on it and  had it within him  as the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY   ...       What is happening now and what has happened  and what will happen    as over and over and over again and again          as we see the results of a world in chaos     but Gods saving grace is STILL in effect .....
Daniel's Vision of the Four Beasts
...6"After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. 7"After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong;

and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.

8"While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts.


  a Horn is a power    granted by God    for eyes  of understanding   verses , these ''eyes''  of  mans  seeing the natural things and not spiritual things  ,   this is why Jesus said if you EYE  offends you pluck it out    ,,   a natural man in interpreting would   think Jesus wants you to tear you eye out   

   This has been the  struggle   from the beginning the WORD OF GOD  IS  SPIRITUAL  TRUTH  ,  not natural and   human truth , Mans ways are violent 
and we have those thousands of divisions and  religions    because of the mixing of the two     ways  of dividing truth   between the soul and the spirit  in a man

   Not every spirit is  Gods HOLY ONE  , just as all souls are   of the natural realm  in Adam and die     or are  as  dead to God ...  God is the God of the Living    NOT the dead    , Jesus is the Lord / Master of the dead and the living NOW   ...  and HE ALONE determines      who is worthy of life and death       

The confusion    lies in the constant movement     between   the two realms    of LIFE and death     

Eph 1 Prayer for Spiritual Wisdom
...17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. 18I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might...


  Gods realm is not of this world  , He visits   in hearts of men and some he stays  , but   Jesus come to bring   a SWORD / WORD
  That does divide  and ...man is it  so  busy   right now and has been for a long while    !!

  Dividing souls from spirits   Heb 4

I personally   am in a huge test of faith right now . BIG TIME  and would love some prayers , my  state of being ''heart sick ''  over the cares of this life and its woes   is never ever easy to  go though such suffering and loss   , But God is in  CONTROL    and this too shall pass ...

  I would say it is being divided   within  myself   and we know it wont stand   ,, in other words   will be effected    permanently  by this test of faith ..

   God bless .. :HeartThrob:
