Why does God appear to be so stringent? It is because He possesses a keen understanding that the curse remains a significant reality. God knows that if we are permitted to make our own choices without consequence, we would ultimately evade confronting our own anger. In essence, we would be cursing ourselves. Our pervasive disbelief in God's judgment lies at the root of the issues we face concerning curses and the quest for authentic peace. I have articulated this in depth in my effective lecture on navigating these complexities to achieve a deeper understanding of divine mysteries. Why do I argue that this guilt and shame are ultimately useless? It is because, while God rightfully holds individuals accountable for their actions, He also imposes curses without apparent reason. At first glance, this seems contradictory. How can God both curse and condemn those who are accountable for their sins? For some, it appears that God must independently resolve moral dilemmas. For those who adhere to universalism, the moment one believes that an individual must be part of the elect, they inadvertently construct their own rationale for choosing God. This mindset suggests that humanity possesses a better understanding than God when it comes to motivating themselves away from sin. If a person confines God to a limited understanding, they imply that human efforts or desires take precedence over God's mercy. Who are we to question God? The apostle underscores that God has drawn a clear demarcation between blessings and curses, without making exceptions for our preferences. My role in this exploration is to correctly position these words within their intended context and create connections that yield an accurate representation of our lived experiences. For instance, when I assert that anger underpins many of our struggles, I am referring to the biblical narrative that illustrates how God pronounced a curse upon creation following humanity's fall into sin. The concept of total damnation can be seen as a manifestation of God's righteous anger. We must consider what the curse has wrought upon us—essentially, the turmoil that resides within us. Some theologians posit that sin can have a positive aspect, as it compels individuals to confront the demands of the law. They argue that, as lawbreakers, we endure the agony of sin in order to ultimately turn towards Christ. However, I contend that anyone who claims to grow through this painful process is being disingenuous. All individuals grapple with the weight of their political ideologies, and many carry a profound sense of guilt. A striking observation I have made is that genuine guilt often surfaces when an individual reaches a breaking point, perhaps after committing a crime or experiencing significant loss, leaving them with little to say. This is a reflection of our collective human experience, highlighting how unnecessary guilt and shame can arise during the process of conversion. How is it that we lose our genuine peace with God? Often, this loss is accompanied by feelings of guilt, shame, sadness, and fear. God's curse not only imposes moral culpability due to sin but also brings forth profound sorrow. In our inability to adequately respond to God's righteous wrath with love, our anger tends to manifest outwardly. Internally, we may interpret this as a desire for revenge or engage in self-destructive behaviors. What measures has our faithful God taken to address moral sin and the curse affecting a select few? Did He accomplish everything solely through Christ? Not exactly. God also instituted boundaries for humanity, forbidding us from pursuing our own paths freely. He placed angels wielding flaming swords around the tree of life, preventing any individual from accessing it at will, thereby ensuring exclusive access.
