Religion’s a dangerous and evil thing.
One of its greatest deceptions is that God is in control of everything. If that’s true, He’s the beast that the “atheists” believe He is. I cannot and will not serve a God like that. If I believed what religion taught, I would be with the atheists, shaking my fist in His face and hoping He doesn’t exist.
You can’t have it both ways and you don’t have to continue trying.
He’s only in control of earthly events to the degree that humans choose to learn about Him and the proper way to involve Him. The Bible makes this clear assuming that you’re paying attention to what He put in the book and not blinded by stupidity that men made up to try explain away God’s apparent evilness (created out of their stupidity and misunderstanding).
I’m now being accused of preaching that God is my servant. I’ve got news for you, I respect Him more than that, but He is. Because He chose to be.
Was Jesus Christ God in the flesh? Did He not spend his whole life serving the people around him? (John 13)
God is a servant. That’s what Love does. When you begin to understand that it will inspire real love and true worship. As long as you gloss over it with religious platitudes, you’ll never get it.
He serves me because He is Love. I serve Him because of that Love and as He teaches me how. (It’s humbling to realize that we’re all selfish and He’s not. It is impossible for a human being to be selfless. Everything you do, even towards God is selfish.)
Love serves. First Corinthians 13 makes that clear. First John (and other places) make it clear that He IS Love.
If you don’t believe He’s your servant, you’ve completely misunderstood who He is and what the whole book was for.
