intransigent heart of Man wrestles with God’s Love so that only with some
suffering can Man be made eternally alive (Acts 14:22, Rom 8:20-22, 28).

God claims responsibility for the evil thoughts of Man (2 Sam 24:1, 10), even
though they are as well, partially, the direct effect of Satan’s purposes (1 Chron
21:1), as He claims responsibility for Satan and all his works (Job 2:6, John 1:3)
which are together indirectly performing by their evil God’s loving will (2 Chron
18:18-22, Psalm 78:49). God’s secondary will is no less His will once enacted and
includes the destruction of children (Ezek 5:13, 9:5-6).

God is directly responsible for death and for the death of death (Gen 2:17, 6:3, 1
Sam 2:6, Rev 20:14) but as the Life (John 11:25), which He is, He has instituted
the preaching process that takes place in Hell or Heaven so that those who have not
heard the gospel might hear it and if and only if they believe it, be saved (1 Sam
2:6, Job 24:19, 1 Pet 3:19). God is a God of temporary death that he be the God of
eternal Life (Mat 22:32, Mark 12:27, Luke 9:60) for all (Phil 2:11). God is a killer,
the biggest serial, indiscriminate, genocidal, killer of all time (Gen 2:17, 6:3). He
has to be in order to be God as only God can grant eternity (Gen 6:3). Every death
is enacted by God (Gen 2:17, 6:3).

God, working through Satan, punishes the descendants of the guilty (Ex 34:7,
Psalm 78:49) but this is merely suffering under the prime principle being worked

out by the descendants each individually (Rom 8:28, Phil 2:11).

God claims responsibility for evil and its effects (1 Kings 21:29, 1 Chron 21:10,
15). A destroying angel can be a good angel (1 Chron 21:15 ‘of the Lord’). When
evil is sent to the generation after the one committing the initial sin, as in 1 Kings
21:29, this in accordance with the prime principle. Tendencies to particular sins
may run in families for 3-4 generations but God’s blessings can be for many
generations or forever. There is no automatic affliction of subsequent descendants,
i.e. no innocent suffers under God (2 Kings 14:6), as at the very least sin against
salvation, or the maintenance of salvation once received, needs to be addressed in
the mystery of salvation (John 9:3, Rom 3:10). There is no suffering endured by
any individual without a justifying, loving, purpose for that individual, in this the
prime principle often seems mysterious to us and without a purpose (Rom 8:28).
The process of children suffering for a parent is one way that God communicates
to recalcitrant parents about their sin, in accordance with the prime principle in
operation for the parent and child and the basic spirit at least, if not the conscious
mind, is aware of this (Job 21:19, Jam 4:17) as was Job who himself fell foul of
this (Job 1:19, 3:25, 21:19). Thus the curse of leprosy 'unto thy seed for ever' in 2
