1 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | mark d seyler | 163460 | ||
Hi srinaldi, The answer is found in Romans 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." 18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. 19 You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?" 20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it? 21 Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? 22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? God wanted to show His power to the world, and He chose to do it through Pharaoh. There is a time coming that God will do a similar thing to others. 2 Thess 2:8 Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; 9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. Because they did not receive the love of the truth, God will hold these people for judgment, having judged them already, even though they continue to walk the earth. Hebrews 3:12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |

Hello Mark, your post is an excelent example of how to let the bible speak for itself. It's awesome how the plain truth found right there in the bible can silence the debates between the thoughts of men. I believe ebrain was sincere and honest in where he/she stood and what he/she believed. It's good to see that there are those such as yourself who are good students and teachers of the word who can point others to the truth because you know where to find it. Thanks brother, Jeff |

Thank you Jeff for your kind words about me at the start of paragraph two of your post to Mark. If you would like to know a little more of just what it is that I believe, perhaps you would be good enough to read other material contributed by "ebrain" since the date of your post above, If you do, I would value your comments. Yours in Christ. ebrain. P.S. Oh and by the way my gender is male. |

Your welcome, Your question hit close to home for me because (i may have mentioned in the thread) I struggled with this very question early on. God used this for me personally in order to begin truly understanding His sovereignty. We can learn to take a lot of things for granted, even concerning God. His sovereignty is one of those things for many of us. It's the language sometimes. We grow up, many of us, hearing it and maybe even believing it. It's not until we really begin to understand it though that it really gives value to our understaning of and relationship with God. I hope the responses in this thread have been helpful to you. God Bless, Jeff |

Thank you Jeff. Many years ago I read a book by "A W Pink" entitled "The Sovereignty of God", this book I found most helpfull, you may of course allready have it, but if not then I can strongly recommend it, copies can be obtained from www.amazon.com Regarding the responses in this thread, I can certainly say that they are both interesting, and informative. Thank you again for your comments. The Lord bless you. Edwin |
