I believe in G-d and I believe that there are 5 eternal principles that govern man’s relationship with G-d. They indicate why I have complete faith in G-d and all his works.

1. G-d will not do for any man what that man can do for himself.
2. G-d will do for every man what they cannot do for themselves.
3. G-d will not do anything for any man that is not eternally beneficial for him.
4. G-d will do everything possible for all men that are eternally beneficial for each of them.
5. G-d will not do anything to any man without their concurrence.


I believe that whatever G-d allows to happen will be for the eventual good – even those not saved. I believe if it comes from G-d it is both good and beneficial – even his “punishments” and his wrath.
