1 | God's Right to Rule. | Ps 2:11 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 188301 | ||
Brian, In asking this question, I am seeking to know how other Christians view God's fundamental right to govern men. For example, some see that the mere fact that God is Creator gives him that right. It seems to suggest the phrase I have heard in a movie, "I brought you into the world and I can take you out of the world." If something like this phrase is intended in understanding God's right to govern humankind (something, it seems, StJohn seems to suggest), it makes God's rule seem rather harsh. Is the mere fact that God created man the only reason why God has a right to rule over men or is there another more legitimate basis for understanding this divine right? |

Dear Looking, You said : ".....is there another more legitimate basis ..." Now, you talk about legitimacy. May I ask where did you get the idea of legitimacy? Job 38:4 "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, Job 38:5 Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it? Job 38:6 "On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone, Job 38:16 "Have you entered into the springs of the sea Or walked in the recesses of the deep? Job 38:16 "Have the gates of death been revealed to you, Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness? Job 38:17 "Have the gates of death been revealed to you, Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness? Job 38:18 "Have you understood the expanse of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this. Job 40:2 "Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it." Job 40:8 "Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified? Job 41:11 "Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine. Ps 8:1 O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! Ps 8:3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; Ps 8:4 What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? Ps 8:5 Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty! May God lead you to His way and bless you. Shalom Azure |
