1 | what does Mark 8:27-38 verses mean | Mark | cherylg | 142562 | ||
I might (for the sake of the argument) say that Satan's "big huge" mistake was letting Christ be crucified and NOT being involved at that point. His dirty deed was accomplished in Eden. Matthew 16:21-23 shows Jesus telling the disciples God's plan that He be killed and then raised to life, and in verse 22 he rebukes Peter, who says that this could never happen, by calling him Satan (who is ever interested in messing up God's plan for redemption of man). However, Luke does mention that Satan entered Judas (22:3).....so it's likely I'm wrong (although nothing ever happens that God doesn't allow and this may have been part of the bigger picture). What's important is not quarrelling about matters which don't matter, but rather what we ourselves do with the knowledge and belief we have of Christ's death, resurrection, and the inpouring of the Holy Spirit. |

2 | Did God cause the tsunami | Mark | cherylg | 142559 | ||
I've read (admittedly quickly) most of the threads to this question, and was really surprised at and interested in the answers. I've never believed that it's up to us here on earth to decide whether an action (natural or by people) is good or evil, or to question what happens in our lives. God alone does and keeps the account. God (always in control) allowed misfortune (the Bible doesn't say He caused it....) to fall upon Job, even though "this man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil" (Job 1:1). Job 38 and 39 are God's response to the question, "How could this happen?" |
