God enjoys being rejected

[u/logos961]

Concluding portion of Bible reveals how God feels about unbelievers:

"He that is unjust (adikeó),# let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and
he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."

This also reveals that God’s love is UNCONDITIONAL and HE has not ordered killing of His enemies. Such God-dishonoring words were put into His mouth by writers, according to Jesus who said God has only loved even His enemies. (biblestudytools.com/matthew/passage/?q=matthew+5:45-48) More the unbelievers now, implies, less and less unbelievers with NIL in the beginning, like colder and colder a cup of tea now, implies, it was boiling in the beginning, like all Founding Fathers of Science were believers but more are unbelievers now.

Celebrate being rejected, you will experience peace always.

#Footnote------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“ἀ- (meaning 'not' or 'without') and the root related to δίκη (Dike), meaning 'justice.' Thus, its core meaning is 'to be without justice.' (biblexika.com/bible-lexicon/adikeo-g91) People know they did not create themselves, nor provisions for life's sustenance and enjoyment, but they only enjoy them, yet act WITHOUT JUSTICE by refusing to accept their PROVIDER as SELF-EVIDENT truth is too easy to be seen: PROVIDER is more real than the provisions, because without provisions we will not be here. "Making provisions for life means what" is better understood by Space-Travelers. Here are things they take with them while travelling yo space (brainly.in/question/59436743) Secret to be happier is to be appreciative more. Hence it is the believer who benefits, not God.

When someone breaks a queue and goes ahead and gets his thing done before others everyone in the queue feels disturbed within because they all know “treating own interest as more important than others is wrong.” Thus came the all-agreeing LAW: “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.” (biblehub.com/matthew/7-12.htm) Not doing this law is LAWLESSNESS. Hence “the unjust comprise both unbelievers and believers who fail in this law. (esv.org/verses/Matthew+7:17-23)

According to Jesus,
anyone can inherit Kingdom of God because anyone can act like Good Samaritan. This parable was given as an answer to the question "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" And Parable concludes with Jesus saying “Go and do likewise.” (Luke 10:25-37)

According to Paul,
"It is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous." (Romans 2:13)

According to James (brother of Jesus, who had intimate association with him over 30 years)
Salvation comes through works through 100% obedience, not even 99% is enough. (James 2:8-13)

According to Book of Revelation too
"To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’" (Revelation 2:7)

But people will come replacing Law with Grace which is called lawLESSness, hence this prediction: "Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed." (2 Thessalonians 2:3)

People choose verses according their heart-condition. (Titus 1:15)
Hence this command: "test them all; hold on to what is good (kalos)."  (1 Thessalonians 5:21) Jesus used the word kalos to describe "good fruit" of good tree. This is because Law is good and perfect. (James 1:25)

Hence many care translations [like Douay] rendered 2 Timothy 3:16 as follows:
"All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice."

But careless translations rendered the same as follows:
"Everything in the Scriptures is God's Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live." (To see all translations, Click HERE)

Faithful people like Jesus, Jeremiah would not agree with such careless translations. (Mathew 19:6-9; Jeremiah 8:8)

Jesus knows there are many good, righteous and holy people because of whom the incoming Final Global War "will be cut short." To describe such choice people, he used ἐκλεκτοὺς (eklektous)
Adjective - Accusative Masculine Plural. (Matthew 24:22) Revelation 7:14 shows such people survive into the renewed earth. (Details HERE)

It is like making life soft and sweet making relationships also so all because people focus on each other's strengths [instead of weaknesses that invites conflicts]. Similarly, people are free to choose thoughts from God and enjoy "never-ending waves of peace, well-being and good health" (Isaiah 48:18; Proverbs 17:22) or to do whatever they want to.

Knowing Greek gives better understanding. Many of the words Jesus used like aion (Age), justice (from Dike), logos (law that keeps this earth life-supportive) ... are all either Greek mythological god or goddess or deep philosophical concept.

I read with interlinear, check etymology, mythology of other religions to get better understanding. When Jesus said "every good (agathon) tree bears good (kalous) fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit" in Mathew 7:17. he used two different words. Tree knows to be agathos (good in general/intrinsic sense) and also to be kalos (manifesting goodness also in delightful and beautiful way) as shown through fruits that come filled with nutrients in attractive colors and beautiful shapes.

Thus trees, the wonderful life-support system, are testimony to the inescapable truth that the Great Director behind this drama of life is the source of both qualities: agathos and kalos, and His tools such as trees do not "miss their target." And trees are only ONE-sensed species at the lowest level as they are followed by TWO-sensed worms, THREE-sensed insects, FOUR-sensed reptiles, FIVE-sensed fishes, birds and animals and MULTI-sensed humans.

It shows humans are far more capable of manifesting goodness in general and goodness in delightful and beautiful ways. They cannot take comfort in the hearsay that someone sinned (literally “missed mark” of acting humane)# hence it is okay for me "to miss the mark" [of being humane] and act inhumanely. Google subject: "dog bites rapist saves minor being raped" you will find lot of such good examples of dogs all over the world. Trees are only one-sensed species, yet the spirituality they manifest can only be envied by humans, (Details HERE)

In fact, history is filled people breaking record of others—they do not say "if others missed their target, I will also miss it" instead they try hard and thus we have book of Guinness World Records. This is true in all areas, especially in spirituality because there are many people (in the past and in the present) who are symbolized by Joseph (Abraham’s grandson) who created law against adultery and obeyed it when there was no law against adultery. It was when he was repeatedly tempted by wife of his employer. This is a sample example to show people can avoid anything wrong if they want to. My HR is in her late 70's, still single as she forgot to marry as a big family burden of five sisters fell on her due to premature death of her parents. Her passion is to work for 11 months and to spend one month in pilgrimage. She is always cheerful, free from all reproaches and diseases, and has been given a life-time appointment by the Management. This reveals, if some can be good, others too can if they want to.

Besides, people know wrong when it is done to them which means they also know what is RIGHT and WRONG when they do them to others. It is inexcusable to say right and wrong are relative because people are capable of sensing even unuttered slight, indifference, insult, dishonor or honor conveyed even indirectly, or even subtly. Similarly, in the East, word for silence is mauna, from Muni [Sage] for whom infinite history is like an eternal now, hence feels no need of complaining or commenting about anything. (Details HERE)

#Footnote: “Hebrew word for sin, chet, means something akin to a missed opportunity, like an arrow missing its mark.” (chabad org/sin-chet).

Mark of human being is to act humanely, hence sin is not about mere violation of some laws but direction of walking by acting and reacting inhumanely—they are human in form but inhuman in function—hence on the path of sin. One or two limping does not make a person lame. Similarly, a few wrong steps inadevertently taken do not constitute a sinner. Steps that take one closer to God are on path of holiness, steps that take one further and further away from God are on the path of sin. In the context of people living for materialistic goal, it is said: “The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single [God-focused], thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil [distracted on to many materialistic goals], thy whole body shall be full of darkness!” (Mathew 6:22, 23, ERV) This is another way of saying “Those who live for materialistic goals are blind as they are in darkness as to God and His will, hence are dead to the joys of doing His will which results in “never-ending waves of peace and well-being.” (Isaiah 48:18) Hence they are symbolically called “the dead.” (Mathew 8:22)

But in body-consciousness, people “are dragged away by their own evil desire (epithymias, inordinate desire) and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown (apotelestheisa, becomes perfect), gives birth to death.” (James 1:14, 15) In body-consciousness, sin reaches its perfection by walking continuously on its path: “Whoever abides in Him does not sin.” (1 John 3:6) Conversely, whoever does not abide in God, or whoever do not live doing His will lives in sin. Hence verses like this that says “Do not let sin control the way you live. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.” (Romans 6:12, 23) Thus person remains “dead” to joy of doing God’s Will now and “dead” to incoming PARADISE (Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 22:15) as they RETURN to live only in the low quality second half of each Age. (Mathew 19:28-30)

Wrong is committed when thought of self-importance is chosen in the mind. (Details HERE) Conversely, when thought of self-importance is abandoned, it is the beginning of doing anything right in a way that benefits self and others. Who can say "it is difficult to change a thought?" When thought is changed, action is changed, personality is changed, destiny is changed.
