A challenge for all Christians!, page 3

The rebellion in the Garden of Eden raised the following important issues.
These are:
1) Jehovah God’s /Yahweh’s right to rule over his creations was put into question.
2) His name was besmirched by being accused of lying.
3) That mankind has no need for God. That they can decide on their own – what is good and what is bad.
4) That if left alone mankind can survive on their own.
5) That Satan’s challenge was true. That he can guide mankind successfully w/o God.

The issues were expanded further during the time of a man called Job. If you are not familiar with the story I encourage you to read it. It’s fascinating as the story is directly related to what happened in the Garden of Eden. That is:

6) Satan accused God of bribery, that Job or for that matter man will only serve God because of the things that Jehovah God provides. He challenged God that if he takes away all the material things Job or man will abandon and curse him.
7) That if allowed Satan can turn anyone against God.
8) That if allowed to test man, he will abandon his loyalty to God. In other words if put under test there’s no man alive will ever remain loyal to Jehovah God.
9) He accused man as a selfish being. He accused God of being a selfish God not worthy of any praise.
So the gauntlet was cast in front of all – from heaven and from earth. Do all of these accusations and challenges true? If this was you what would you do? Will you destroy your accuser and let the questions remained unanswered? What would you do if your neighbor accused you of an unworthy father in front of your children?
Yes to settle the matter once in for all, with his wisdom, Jehovah God allowed time to pass in order to answer the lies and accusations against him and against all his creations.
So Jehovah God allowed man to formulate his own government. He also allowed Satan and other rebellious angels (demons) to go on with their challenge. God allowed man to come up with his type of worship or his own religion – from worshipping the created, from worshipping idols, all things underneath the sun. He allowed man to progress to the fullest of his ability even learning the secrets of the atom and life itself (dna). How much more do we need to advance before it’s too late?
Now the verdict – it’s more than 6000 years now since the rebellion – how’s mankind so far? The jurors of the court have delivered their verdict – TOTAL FAILURE. Instead peace and security for all, the world ever since the rebellion are in pieces with no true security. If left alone further, he will destroy himself and the world. Will mankind survive another world war – WWIII? What about sickness, hunger, poverty, crimes, rise of violence, hopelessness, etc these in spite of the advancements in technology, medicine, agriculture, education, com, etc. Can ANY government on earth TODAY bring lasting peace to man, remove hunger, cure the sick, stop crime, pollution? How about greed, badness in man’s heart? Yes, the verdict is clear – Satan’s challenge and accusations are pure lie. It has been proven time and time again. He tested faithful men – no matter how severe the test was/is they never compromised their integrity to God. Are you one of the loyal servant’s of God? You will be tested by Satan. In fact there’s no going around this test – whether you are a believer or not your response to this universal issue will mean your survival when God will finally PUT AND END to all of these madness. Think about this too, God endured for thousands of years the badness on earth, he has longed in his heart like a mother with a suffering child will do anything to remedy the pain. Here’s just one of his promises: “And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Dan 2:44)"
