UFO: The Encounter Page #7

---

he wouldn't have remembered it and he clearly does.

And if he believed in me, he would see it

for what it truly is.

My grace.

So you hurt him so he'd thank you later?

In a way.

Kayla, you've got to remember I'm not the one

that put him on that path.

I'm not the one who made him dive.

I'm the one who saved him.

Just like I saved you

before you left.

You remember, Kayla.

What? What happened?

Nothing.

I don't know what you did to that poor girl,

but if you really are God, the least you could do is take care

of my friend Hank here.

At least he believes in you.

Hank's going through a rough spot right now, Nick.

But the difference between you and him is that he knows

in the deep of his heart that all things work together

for the good of those who love God

and are called to his purposes.

So I guess when that drunk driver killed my father,

that was your way of patting him on the back.

Nick, your father enjoyed his life,

but he's enjoying his eternal life a whole lot more right now.

And I want you to see him.

Well, excuse me if I don't take you up on that offer.

But many do, don't they?

How many people are gonna blow themselves up in your name today

in the Middle East?

In my name? None.

What about the people that blow up abortion clinics?

I've never once asked anyone to blow up an abortion clinic.

But you do remember telling the Israelites to kill

the Canaanites before they entered the Promised Land.

Men, women, and children.

Even the livestock.

Today, we have a word for that.

Genocide.

For a non-believer, you know your Bible very well, Nick.

Answer the question.

Perfect timing.

No, no, no, no.

I'm not gonna let him off that easy.

I want an answer.

Yes, I asked the Israelites to kill the Canaanites.

Women and children included.

Yes.

Is that any way for a God of love to behave?

I am love.

But I'm also holy and I cannot allow sin to go unpunished

and that's not just for my sake.

It's for yours.

I don't want you to wallow in sin and rebellion and guilt.

I want you to thrive in unending peace and joy.

There isn't one human being on this planet that's an accident.

I hand formed you in your mother's womb

and I formed you for a purpose.

I put before you a path of love and worship.

And the degree with which you'll experience love and joy

and the good things of life is the degree to which

you'll bend to my will.

And if we don't seek your will,

you kill us like you did the Canaanites.

Everyone dies, Nick, but not everyone needs to fear death.

If you abide in me, you'll be stepping free from this

fallen world and into glory.

Is that what heaven's like?

Glory?

It's more than glory, Melissa.
