The Bible on Trial

Pain, or Peace~

As Dr. Don Hoffman says (and I will paraphrase), "No one makes a significant life change without pain to drive it."

Think about the people that Jesus met and served while He was here on earth. His disciples had to leave their previous lives in order to follow Him, leaveing family and friends behind.  When He met the lame, the blind or the sick, these people had to go through pain before He could heal them. Where ever Jesus went people that were in pain sought Him out knowing He would take the pain away.

Most of the prophecies in Revelation describe events that bring pain, and in that pain they reveal the mighty hand of God in trying to get the people of the world to choose Life rather that Death. And in this pain is a useful tool to force people to make choices that they would rather not make.

But is this the only way that God can work in order to get people to 'wake up' to the fact that they need to change in order to accomplish the precess of Sanctification, or is there another road they can take that would achieve the same ends without them having to go through horrendous pain in the accomplishment?

In August of 2021 Rick Sterling first broached the idea that there are not only Death Road prophecies that can aid the process of Salvation, but there are Life Road prophecies that can do the same thing without nearly as much pain. He pointed to Revelation 10 and Daniel 2 and 7 as examples of how God can accomplish His goals for the world through Peace and Prosperity, rather than Death and Destruction. And this has opened a new world of thought as to the true purpose of God in putting and end to evil in the world.
