1. We need to come to that place of faith where we really believe what the Bible says about God, that is, that he is good, Psa 107:1-2. 2. We need to realize that "dark seasons" come because (a) there are powers we are at war with, Eph 6:11-12;(b) our limited capacity in this flesh to perceive God, 2 Kgs 4:27. 3. We need to know that the One who gives mercy in one hand does not bring suffering with the other, Jer 29:11; Psa 103:1-6a. |

Hi Atdcross, Is the parent that disciplines their child bad? Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi Mark, I am not against the concept of divine discipline; it is Biblical. Like a parent, I just think it is something God does not have on his mind to do unless it is necessary and it is not the ideal way he wants to encourage obedience. In addition, there are some things that cannot, at least in my mind, be construed as discipline, e.g. being sick or raped. The former, if one is to intepret it as from God, is rather divine judgment; the latter is just plain evil, an inspired act from evil powers. |

Hi Doc. You're making me smile. Since we can only envision how someone is looking when they are making their comments, without being insulting, you have this crooked smile, pleading eyes, and hands folded together in appeal...you got me smiling. Anyway, I think throughout this discussion I have presented a fair amount of verses in support of my position. But if you look at my initial Note #162232 (11/14/05), I did enter some verses, especially under point #3 (since that seems to be the main contention). You're welcome to review the Note and show where or how I have misused or misinterpreted the verses. |
