I AM

Re: A note to the intelligent designer

Your thoughts and requests are never “unusual”, as I know them before you speak or pen the first character. You can’t go wrong when “Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you” . While knowing the sincere intention of your heart, I have things against you:

First, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” . My initials are not id, I AM.

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last” . Be careful not to become too familiar with me. Although I love you unconditionally, I am Sovereign and Holy, “separate from sinners.” The hymn “Jesus is a friend of mine” is appropriate only if you do as I command.

Yes, I’ve given you the ability to forgive a “poor tortured person who thinks” I “want them to go out and blow up innocent people.” Remember I forgave and died as a sin substitute for you and the entire world; even those “having no hope, and without God in the world.”

Consider; innocent people? “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Again, this is why I came at the first, to save sinners.

Additionally, the “part of” you “that permits a direct link” with Me is not found in your psyche, it’s found through Me, Christ Jesus. “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day”. As for the theories, neither is sufficient:

Intelligent Design fails because mankind is trying to appeal to depraved minds apart from Me, the Creator. Evolution fails because it’s a lie predicated on pride. Here are three things I hate: “A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood.”

Your final request, “I would like some more peace on Earth and goodwill toward men and women,” won’t occur until I come again. “In that day” I’ll put away the sin of man and all will give an account for their deeds. Therefore, “Take heed, watch and pray: for you know not when the time is.

My offer stands, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”. I AM.
