Why is God so Confusing?

You ask questions like; If God is a god of love then why does he punish people? Why does He not answer my prayers? Why does He let young babies die?

Does not the Bible say that God is holy and divine and it also says He is jealous, angry, vengeful, and to be feared? How can He be both?

You look at God’s church today and you find over twenty thousand different church denominations because they can not agree upon the teachings of Jesus.

This all makes God sound so confusing. Why?

In 1 Cor. 14:33 it says that “God is not the author of confusion…”

Then why does all of this appear to be so confusing?

Are you ready to hear and accept the answer?
I ask because the responsibility falls upon YOU not God.

The reason God appears to be confusing is because it’s YOUR perception of God!

You are the ones creating the confusion. It is your ego. Your ego does not understand God. It only knows itself and it projects itself upon your perception of God and the world around you.

God does not change. God is not confused nor does He create confusion.

We are the ones confused. We see God through our egos therefore we see Him as a god who hates, becomes angry, and violent.

We project our egotistical nature upon God. We understand God only as we understand ourselves. It is not until the Holy Spirit reveals Himself to us that we begin to understand the scriptures and the true nature of God.

Jesus knew man could not understand God this is why He said, “Hearing they hear not neither do they understand….seeing you shall see and not perceive.” Matt. 13:13b-14b

In Romans 8:7 it says, “The carnal mind is enmity against God…” The word carnal means, fleshly of human nature and the word enmity means, in opposition or hateful. Therefore it's our egos that distorts our image of God and confuses us.

God is not confused. He is a God of Peace and Love.
