I am contending for the Gospel of The Grace of God in Christ. You know and intend to mock God, but in your twisted heart you try tyo wriggle away from the truth about you so you just lie and say you are mocking me.
Go ahead, mock me for being born again, born from above, born into the family of God. Rail against me. Accuse me. God will ignore you. But continue to spew your vitriol in the form of mocking God and you will meet an ignominious end where God gives you up to a reprobate mind.
And before you spew more insults toward God, know this, when Jesus gave His final instructions to His disciples He charged them with sharing the Gospel of Grace. So it is my assignment to defend the Gospel of Grace and respond to some degree when a fool tries to insult God for not being warrior enough.
The Jews in Jerusalem who put palm branches down for Jesus when He entered Jerusalem the week before He was crucified had a similar vitriolic response when He didn't draw a sword and crush the Roman rule and establish His rod of Iron Kingdom the way they imagined it to come. When they were offered God's Grace not the blood-spot conquering they wanted they cried out crucify him, we will not have this man to rule over us. You've joined a loud crowd, but a doomed one. Try to turn away from that gaggle of fools.
No matter how much or how viciously you insult God's Grace, you will not be the cause of God raising His wrath. He has appointed a time for that release and you are too little to cause the time to change in response to your taunting and mocking.
As it happens, I am also commanded to love you with agape love, so don't imagine there is an insult you can spew which will turn me away from continuing to try and reach you in your heart, the spirit of your soul. My reference to how He has made us is aimed at conveying to you data which you have not received before regarding the configuration of humans and the how and why He redeems some by the consent of their heart and rejects others demanding acceptance.
That third perspective could help soften the focus because God will not be relegated to defense of righteousness by letting satan dictate the actions of God. God goes on the offense when He chooses, not dictated by the actions sourced in evil.
“IF, seeing you a mere man/woman insulting God, taunting at God, if I see that spewing from you and say nothing to warn you, then I’m not being Christian.

Boy did I touch a nerve or what? I guess you didn’t appreciate me holding a mirror in front of you.
Yes, I’m mocking not so much you as your contradictory beliefs. I don’t know enough about the real God to be able to or to want to mock him.
And why would an all powerful all loving being care or even pay attention to what an insignificant germ like me has to say?
What would help you is to be a bit more honest and accept that you hold very inconsistent beliefs that you cannot reconcile - and simply say “I don’t know” and live yout life as best as you know how, and let the chips fall where they may... because they’re going to do that regardless.
MHG, I loved your post about the fisherman. This post, however, is incredibly good. May it be used for God’s purpose and glory for some seeking soul.
May God bless you, my friend.
