True Love

Job 29:13 - “...I made the widow’s heart sing for joy."

Jeremiah 31:3 - "I have loved you with an everlasting love,
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you."

Zephaniah 3:17- "The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Psalm 30:5 - "..joy cometh in the morning.."

Isaiah 11:7 - "The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox."

John 14:2 - "...I go to prepare a place for you... so that where I am, there you may be also." (..I go to be crucified.. so that where I am, there you may be also.) I.e. "God is love" 1 John 4:8 - God is Life, and is perfect, and Perfection makes no mistakes, the 'end' result of this unavoidable journey and lesson called 'life', can only be the Best One Possible.

What Is The (True) Character of God?

If God (the deity) is Life, the life force itself, and surely he is, for what else could be? "In the beginning, God.." Then when one reaps consequences of one's very own doings, it still could be said that God 'rewards' and 'punishes'. Yet it is no direct act of his..
- Hebrews 1:3 tells us that it's the character of Jesus, the Son, which is the "exact representation" of God the Father's character, "he is the radiance of his glory and the exact representation of his nature". Elsewhere it says he is "the exact likeness of God" (2 Cor 4:4) and "he is the image of the invisible God, and the firstborn of all creation" (Col 1:15).
- The theory of (and word) "hell" is a mistranslation which should more closely read "the grave". This mistranslation closes many minds to the message of the Bible (and understandingly so!) which message is the full triumph of good versus evil, or, that is to say, the full triumph of life over death. This one thing alone takes much of the shine from the glory of the message, what is called "the good news", which Jesus always called "the gospel of the Kingdom" (of paradise on Earth restored and unbreakable).
