Pains of two line theo ..thinking outside the box writing

We leave a big vacuum in our lives when we reduce salvation to a clear division between works and faith. So these two liners look at the christian life from two perspectives. The first is from the grace perspective... what God does in your life. The second is from the works perspective ...what you do to match what God does. You will find as I have that this leads to dealing with trials as if they were the painful gifts of a distant God. I mean if your gonna become holy then their idea is to focus on what you do to match what God does. Thats the inevitable outcome of believing that on the one hand grace takes care of sin but on the other hand do not take grace for granted. lol So all of our trials really come from God to make us realize that grace cost something. lol

But is God responsible for bringing evil into our lives? Isnt Satan the guy who ask God to test us? Why would we cause ourselves turmoil (you will end with anxiety if you embrace two line) by saying that God has direct responsibility to bring us trials? So it gets all my christian brothers off the hook because in saying that God brought the trial it is a mystery and its good so let the guy stew in the misery. Look Ive not a novice at this experience stuff. You know this is exactly what it comes to.

But if Satan brings the trial by Gods allowance then it forces us to think that if not for God holding Satan back there go I. Instead of seeing the trial as a good thing we see it as an evil that has befallen our brother. I mean if we believe that on the side of sanctification it is necessary for God to break some arms then our counsel is this is a good thing for you.

But see the God side of this goes beyond just one line. It over sees the second practical line. So the bible teaches that both of these supposed sides are for the purpose of our personal deliverance.   If we say that God delivers us through the destructive trials then we are saying that Gods purpose is to do us harm. Or as two line has insinuated that God does evil to us so that good may come of it. The christian life is experienced like the movie the Saw.  lol

But if we are suffering under a trial then there are only two states that we can dwell in. There is hate or love. Now if love is hate turned good for our growth then love and hate are redefined. This is the problem with embracing a contradiction. Good becomes evil and evil becomes good. This sort of reasoning infects all their presuppositions about the clarity of doctrine.
