1 | God always gets what he desires? T or F | 1 Tim 2:3 | Norton | 213149 | ||
Hi CDBJ, Thank you for you time. I read it with interest. I believe Jesus is my saviour and my faith is a work in progress. I am 61 and have been told many times sometime I think out of the box. Maybe thats not always bad. Sometime I feel that Jesus is so Great that He would not let go of any of His worldly flock. Could He of course is not the issue. Once again I am only inviting discussion. God be with you | ||||||
2 | God always gets what he desires? T or F | 1 Tim 2:3 | Norton | 213148 | ||
Hi Doc, thank you for your reply. Please don't think I have any devious intensions here. I would rather pick people's brains in this sort of set up then rely on the the bible reference books. I am trying to initiate discussion and to do that I ask how one feels or how one thinks about a certain passage. I try to ask my questions in such a way that I want you to know that it is your answer I want and not a reference book. There are some very knowledgeable people on this means and if I'm not out of line I would like to use them. Once again my questions are a way to promote discussion, for my behalf primarily but I'm sure others would be interested also. Thank you Doc..Jesus be with you | ||||||
3 | God always gets what he desires? T or F | 1 Tim 2:3 | Norton | 213114 | ||
Hi CDBJ, Thank you for your interest. If you click on the top line where it starts NASB 1 Tim 2:3 it will give you the complete verse. I hope people do not get offended with me for my questions, I understand there are certain things you must consider when trying to understand what was written. But for me this is a very interesting verse that is in parts found else where in the NT. To me its one of the most uplifting verses. I suppose what I was asking is: do you think desires is the correct word here. When I desired my boat and motor I still didn't get the boat and motor, but I think it would be different if God desired something. Anyway I'm looking for another thought. |

4 | Keliy, can faith be predetermined? | Eph 2:8 | Norton | 213097 | ||
Hi Keliy, Thank you for your response. I still can't agree totally with your thinking on grace. As I see it Grace is God's free gift to us for our salvation and no works ie development, character expansion etc. can be attached to it, unless of coarse I'm interperting the passage incorrectly. I do agree that we are put here for God's ultimate Glory which is probably why I'm having the problem with your thought on the meaning of grace. Thank you for your wisdom and time. PS please note the passage says "you have been" |

5 | Keliy, can faith be predetermined? | Eph 2:8 | Norton | 213092 | ||
If grace is a free gift from God and cannot be earned from any works or good deeds on our part, and knowing that God put us here for a purpose in his plan then how do you think God arrives at his decision on who of us he gives to His Son? Thank you for an interesting point of view. | ||||||
6 | Does All mean All or is the a BUT? | Rom 5:18 | Norton | 213089 | ||
The use of "ALL" tells me that mankind is or will be made righteous thru the gift of grace. Is there more to this? | ||||||
7 | God always gets what he desires? T or F | 1 Tim 2:3 | Norton | 213088 | ||
I was wondering how others felt about the use of the word DESIRES here and do you think it means wants and or wills and does God always get what he wants? | ||||||
