1 | turn of events God's Will for rehoboam? | 2 Chr 10:15 | rachellynn | 202693 | ||
i do not understand what this verse means at all i know that it was prophesied that it would happen, and it did. But jsut because God said that it would happen, does this mean that it was Gods WILL? i ask because it states that the turn of events was FROM GOD. how can this be from god? what does this tell me about God's character? Does this mean that every thing that God says will happen for the good or for the bad is from him because he says it? any explanation? |

Dear Rachel :: In connection with the questions you have raised in regard to 2 Chronicles 10:15, concerning the character and acts of God, you ask, "Any explanation?" Yes, Rachel, there is a perfectly good explanation, one that we human beings are prone to pass over as we seek to find other ways -- human ways -- to understand and explain the Bible's message. In our efforts to reduce the mighty acts of God to terms that that we, in our limited and finite vision, can easily grasp, we often lose sight of the absolute sovereignty of God, and we forget what God said: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord" (Isaiah 55:8, KJV). ....... God is sovereign. "The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all" (Psalm 103:19, NASB). ...... God is sovereign. "The LORD reigns. He is clothed with majesty; the LORD has clothed and girded Himself with strength; indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved" (Psalm 93:1, NASB). ....... God is sovereign. "The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many islands be glad" (Psalm 97:1, NASB). ....... God is sovereign. "Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker -- an earthenware vessel among the vessels of the earth. Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?'" (Isaiah 45:9, NASB). ...... Perhaps it would be edifying to go back to the verse, to read the verse in context by reading a larger portion of the passage, to read a cross reference in 1 Kings 11:29-39, and to bear uppermost in mind that God is sovereign ... always. --Hank | ||||||

gospelcompilation, What is your position on the sovereignty of God? There are two things about this. Because God is sovereign he either makes it happen or allows it to. Read Job and go through Hebrews chapter 12 if you don't think so. In Him, lionheart |

gospelcompilation, It's not a matter of your opinion that concerns me. What motive do I have in asking, plain and simple. We as disciples of Jesus Christ are accountable to God for what we teach and preach. Your opinion,my opinion any one's opinion don't amount to squat if it doesn't line up with God's Word. Look at 2 Peter 1:20,21 this is how God views opinions. Check out Hebrews 12:1 as matter of fact read the whole chapter. Job was not and is not an isolated incident. Acts 17:24-31, the whole bible from Gen 1:1-Rev22:21 testifies of God's sovereignty. Here's the reason I ask, The people that we reach out to good chance that what we share with them will be the only exposure to the bible they have ever had. It becomes very important what we believe. Speaking of Job, what did God have to say to Jobs friends? He confronted them with the fact that they had not spoke of Him what they should have. Bottom line, are we speaking of God what we should or are we being critical pharisse's. So it's not a matter of anyone's opinion but what God has already stated. In Him, lionheart |

gospel compilation, It's not a matter of your beliefs lining up mine. It's a matter of our beliefs aligning with what God's Word says. You ask what I'll do? I'll share God's Word with you and who knows, maybe we can both learn something. In Him, lionheart |

Sorry, Lionheart, but I cannot afford to take the time to study Scripture with you, because StudyBibleForum is censoring all my posts. It's not worth my time to really dig into Scripture and write everything out in detail, because they're simply going to erase everything anyway. I'm sorry we're not free to discuss this issue openly, because I think we could have come to an agreement, as well. After all, both our hearts are for God's Word - we probably just express our thoughts differently is all. It's been nice making your acquaintance, Lionheart. |

Why don't you try lining up what you are posting with what the Bible teaches, reference some relevant scriptures and insert them into your posts; I can pretty much guarantee that the Lockman Foundation will not be censoring you if you do so with respect to sound orthodox theology. What you have given as an excuse for not wanting to engage in some, good old solid exegesis, is quite unfounded. Common gospelcompilation, give it a try, wont you? Go ahead and do a little digging, you have nothing to fear in God's Word. Do you? God bless John |
