1 | Why have kids when... | Gen 1:22 | In the Andes | 53710 | ||
Sickness, death, etc, don't eternally separate you to eternal hellfire. Right? The question was not what if...But why would. If you believe that everything that happens is the will of God, You MUST conclude that your eternal destiny is also preset and prearranged by God. With NO possibility of altering it. I love children. If I believed that God might send one of my kids to hell, I'd NEVER have them. My point is, I don't think that anyone has ever thought their doctrine through to it's logical conclusion. It would be playing russian rulet with a life. In connection with that, It doesn't seem really consistent. I mean, it's like saying..."Uncle Bob died of a heart attack. The Lord took him home. And at the same time beginning an exercise program to ensure that we aren't overweight and die that way too." Which is it? God's will or the fact that uncle Bob weight 300 lbs? |

To my knowledge we have no scriptural basis on which to formulate the belief that everything that happens is the will of God. We do have ample biblical evidence that God is sovereign, however. God has revealed Himself to mankind in His word, but He has not answered all the questions of which mankind is capable of asking, and He has asked questions of which mankind is incapable of answering. Centuries have come and gone, have been born and woven into the fabric of history, since God asked Job a great number of questions, none of which Job could answer. In spite of the advancement in knowledge since the time of Job, we are unable to answer God's questions still, and we are equally inept in being able to answer our own questions about the things that God has chosen not to reveal about Himself and His creation. But I hardly think that the Bible teaches the kind of fatalism that is alluded to in your comments. --Hank | ||||||
