How much truth is there behind all of those things were told as kids that are "God's way" of telling us we shouldn't be doing something?
Scribe: BobbieC asks "How much truth is there behind those things we are told as kids that are "God's way" of telling us we shouldn't be doing whatever we're doing?
God: THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION, BOBBIE. IT'S ACTUALLY A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE.
Scribe: Sure, I remember being told that tons of times. "Brain freeze is God's way of telling you you shouldn't eat your ice cream so fast." Stuff like that.
God: EXACTLY. THE TRUTH IS THAT VERY FEW OF THOSE THINGS HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH ME. PEOPLE TEND TO INVOKE MY NAME WHEN IT SERVES THEM. THIS INCLUDES TIMES WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE A POINT TO CHILDREN.
Scribe: Adults, too. The wife of a friend of mine who had high blood pressure told him just the other day that the high blood pressure was God's way of telling him he needed to watch his diet and get more exercise.
God: YES, ADULTS TOO.
Scribe: And there were plenty of times in college when my friends and I would say that throwing up and passing out was God's way of telling us we had too much to drink.
God: LOVELY. IN MOST OF THOSE INSTANCES CITED, THE THINGS BEING EXPERIENCED ARE JUST PHYSIOLOGICAL. WHILE I CREATED HUMANS, THE BRAIN FREEZE, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND PASSING OUT HAVE LESS TO DO WITH ME AND MORE YOUR BODY'S PHYSICAL RESPONSE TO THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT BE DOING TO IT.
Scribe: Do you ever use things like that to send us messages?
God: AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, I HOLD STRICTLY TO THE CONCEPT THAT PEOPLE HAVE FREE WILL AND HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS.
Scribe: So no "good things happen to good people" and "bad things happen to bad people"?
God: FIRST, THERE ARE PLENTY OF BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE AND GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO BAD PEOPLE. I THINK THE CONCEPT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS KARMA. I'LL DEAL WITH THAT SUBJECT IN MORE DETAIL LATER BUT SUFFICE TO SAY THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT HAPPEN NOT AS A RESULT OF SOMETHING YOU'VE DONE BUT BECAUSE YOU'VE DONE THEM.
Scribe: Okay. Not sure I get it.
God: YOU WILL. MORE ON THAT SUBJECT ANOTHER TIME.
