Question: Why are there so many people who are not “into You” or turned off by You?

God’s answer:

They think I am not “modern”.
They don’t think I am relevant.

God is timeless. Unfortunately, Christian churches and teachings tend to paint a picture of a conservative, traditional and judgmental God. This portrayal of God is so far from the truth. As Jesus Christ, He showed us that He is broad-minded. This is one of the reasons why He was persecuted. However, broad-mindedness does not mean accepting values and principles that go against what is good and what is right. We often expect God to relax His terms to suit our purpose and keep up with the times. He forgives but He does not tolerate. He is compassionate but He does not condone. Wrong can never be justified regardless of “the times”.

Question: One of the conservative stands that the Church has is that on birth control. What is your position on the use of birth control? I know you don’t approve of abortion but what about other means of population control?

God’s answer:

Figure 1:
The Holy Bible. Underneath is “Go and multiply.”

Figure 2:
Male and female contraceptives. Underneath is birth control

 
It is My word against yours.

Meaning: Go and multiply was God’s command in the beginning of creation and then again after the Great flood (Noah’s Ark).

We often look to the church for practical advice and to conform to the times. Even if the church approves of the use of birth control, God never will. God is not a ”practical" God. He doesn’t view life and our world the way we do. To God, we can have a million children –He can take care and care for all of them. Whatever personal or global reasons we may have for needing birth control only exist because of our poor relationship with God.

So, why does God want us to continue having children or even to continue existing considering our imperfections and the imperfections of the world, and all the “misery” this brings us?
