This is another one of those things I have never heard a preacher preach on.

Why do we have this awful test called life? Why does God permit the wicked to do what they do? Why does God permit the wicked to persist even for a little while?

God explains this in the Bible and it is the greatest love story in all history.

The Bible tells us that, in the beginning there was God, Yahweh. He was alone and He wanted eternal companionship. God wanted creatures He could spend eternity with that would love Him but He knew that true love had to be a choice and not some fake love He manufactured.

Having a bunch of androids who were programmed to "love" Him wouldn't be true love. It would have been like you programming your computer or cellphone to "love" you. It would have been a false love and God wanted true love. Love has to be tested to be true love.

In order for it to be a true love, it had to be by the individual choice of the creatures themselves. And for them to "choose" love, it meant the creatures had to choose between love for God and the opposite, which is hate for God and good, which meant that each and every creature created by God had to be tempted to choose hating God or loving God.

If there were no hatred to freely choose, instead of love, then it could not be a valid choice or test and would still be artificial love. God wants true love, which has to be chosen in opposition to hate.

God started by creating the Heavenly beings we call angels and the first to be tested between choosing the love of God or the love for himself and the hatred of God was the highest and most magnificent of those beings, Lucifer, the angel of light.

The Bible tells us that Lucifer flunked that test big time when his jealousy caused him to choose to hate God in order to love himself by wanting to elevate himself above God instead of loving God, his creator.

The Bible calls Lucifer the "greater tempter" who has tempted every other being God has created. He first tempted all of the angels to choose to hate God and love themselves by staging the first rebellion against God to elevate Lucifer and themselves above God in an act of selfish hatred for God to love themselves and no one else. If they chose to hate God, they would only care about themselves, just like today's upper class trash and their lefty puppets.

Lucifer caused the angels to make the choice between God and him or between good and evil and one third of the angels failed their test by choosing evil and hating God, their creator. In their evil hatred they staged the first and greatest rebellion against God and good for their own evil selfish desires.

Lucifer's rebellion against God failed because two thirds of the angels chose God's love and good to fight for God. They "cast down" Lucifer, who also became known as Satan and the Devil, along with his evil angels who became known as demons.

When God went to judge Satan and his demons for their evil and cast them into the Lake of Fire God created for their eternal punishment, Satan challenged God's right to judge them because "how did they know God was a just and fair judge?"

So God approved of Himself being tested to prove He is a good, kind, loving, and fair being and judge so He could judge Satan and his demons with the remaining angels as God's witnesses to whether He is a just or unjust being and judge.

For His test, God created the cosmos and, in that cosmos, He created a tiny planet we call Earth and, on that tiny planet, He created man and the test of life began for both Yahweh and man. God is being tested and proven the same as you are being tested to choose between good, Yahweh, and evil, Satan. The final examination for that test will be whether Yahweh fairly judges you on Judgment Day, with the angels as His witnesses, proving He is a fair and righteous judge, who will judge Satan and his demons fairly.

The Bible tells us that everyone of us MUST be tested to choose between good and evil; God and Satan and that test is what we call life. You also have to understand that, if God did not permit at least some of the wicked to at least appear to succeed for a while, you would not be tempted to choose evil so the test would not be valid so He MUST permit the wicked to succeed for a while, long enough to test you.

For God to submit to being judged by the angels that chose good, they had to agree to submit to the rule of the humans who pass their test and make it to Paradise. The Bible tells us that we, who choose good, will be given rule over the angels in Paradise.

So the human test is that we humans must choose between God and good or Satan and evil. Jesus tells us that most humans will fail that test, especially the rich and powerful, most of whom will burn forever in God's eternal penal system, the Lake of Fire, with their CHOSEN god, Satan and his demons.

To show you where the pagans get their stupidity, even after the great rebellion in Heaven failing and 6,000 more years of Satan failing 100% of the time against God, Satan still believes he can eventually defeat God and seize the throne to set up his evil kingdom. "Why, if he just keeps doing what is failing long enough, he will succeed!"

Why, that sounds just like our upper class trash, doesn't it?

Now, what would have happened if God had created all of these creatures with free will to choose between good and evil as immortal beings with thousands times more power than we humans have today with our advanced technology in Paradise?

If you just pay attention to what those, who choose evil, are doing, you can see what would have happened. Satan, his demons, and his evil pagans would have quickly turned Paradise into an unimaginable eternal damnation far beyond your wildest imagination, with them bullying, oppressing, robbing, raping, beating, and enslaving you forever and ever and ever. There would be no hope for you. You can't even begin to imagine how horrid their eternal damnation would be for you. It would be infinitely worse for you than anything here on Earth.

You have to understand that Satan, his demons, and their pagans CHOSE to have eternal damnation one way or another because of their selfishness and not caring for others and their way is that they get to force their unimaginable eternal damnation on everyone else forever. Either they get their eternal damnation in God's Lake of Fire penal institution, unable to cause harm to you forever or they get to force their eternal damnation on you forever in what God wanted to be Paradise.

God knew this, which is why He knew He had to properly test creatures He created with free will to choose between loving Him and His or hating Him and His. He knew that those who chose to hate Him and His would cause eternal damnation and force it on Him and His.

Without this test, it would not be possible for God to have eternal Paradise with creatures of free will in choosing between good and evil. Without this test, those who would have chosen evil, would have definitely turned Paradise into eternal damnation.

It is the only way that God could have eternal Paradise with creatures who freely chose to love Him. To be true love, love must be tested.

God created you out of love and wants you to CHOOSE to love Him so that it is your free will choice between accepting His unimaginable love for you and your selfish hatred for Him. Choose wisely because the choice is eternal, either Paradise or damnation.

God loves us enough that, when we all failed His test and committed crimes against His Laws because we chose our selfish sins over God, deserving eternal damnation with Satan and his demons, He manifest Himself in human form as Jesus/Yeshuah, lived a true life on Earth being the only human to pass His own test as only God could do, while being tempted by Satan, himself, therefore not deserving death and eternal damnation, he died to pay for our crimes against His Laws so we don't have to pay for those crimes because of His great amnesty program, all we have to do is choose His love for us or to choose to hate God and eternally pay for our crimes ourselves. Your choice, choose wisely.

I chose love.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

You better....
