1 | Why did God test Adam and Eve ? | Genesis | fatherof3 | 153482 | ||
The tree was of the knowledge of good and evil. Evil already existed in the sense that with light you also have darkness at its abscence.God placed the tree there , not as a test, but as a symbol of His knowledge and standing being above ours.(Proverbs 3:5,6, Isaiah 55)He knew what evil was all about. We didn't have to experience evil to be aware of it. It was if He was saying, Trust me--you don't want to experience it first hand. Take my word, it does exist. Satan came along and appealed to her to not trust God, as if He were somehow holding something back from her. Distrust was planted by Satan's deception and sin was born. Faith has and always will be the issue. Our obedience stems from faith, and disobedience from distrust. | ||||||
2 | What is mercy? | Matt 5:7 | fatherof3 | 153480 | ||
This may sound abit trite, but simply put, mercy is not getting what you do deserve. Of course in any context, it would imply some level of authority or some power over the other person involved, but always with God, we are under His authority and must answer to Him. Therefore, to ask His mercy is to ask Him to not give to us the just result of our actions and to show us---mercy. The suffering aspect would be because most would view their suffeing to be in retribution for a transgression, which, as Job shows us, may or may not be the case. | ||||||

Once you repent, you have taken uo your battlestation and now must put on your armour to make a stand.By faith you will overcome. We are more than conquerors and you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.But, you have to be aware of the fiery trials and the process of growth. You stand in your position in Christ and to do this you will need an adequate knowledge of His word and to maintain good relationships with godly people. | ||||||
