1 | Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? | Luke 9:42 | Immanuelsown | 207230 | ||
Steve, Don't worry about any delays, we all have busy lives. This is late also. In spirit, He has given us all things, before the world ever was. Isn't the act of going towards, moving after, an act of Subservience? A display of the lesser, towards the Greater? Luk 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. We are always told to come, ask. Why, you might ask? 1Sa 8:5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. 1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. God created Man for fellowship with Himself, but God always went to the garden to commune with Adam, does the fact that God went to the garden, make Adam sovereign over God? God chose the Nation of Israel, as a people unto Himself. God was always the initiator on their behalf in their relationship, does that make the Nation of Israel, sovereign over God? Not until the Nation asked for a King. The act of rejecting God, was the setting up of themselves as Sovereign. They then effectively stopped the Blessing, of God to work on their behalf, as it had in the past. From that point on in history, God has dealt with mankind in a different manner. Only those seeking Him as King, would find him That is what Jesus' coming to earth was all about, the reconciliation of Man, to God. We do the same thing to God in our own lives, there are things we either do, or not, that stop God form moving in our lives. Yes, we do in those instances become sovereign over God, stating to Him, we will rule our own lives, Not Him. (the old saying goes) Actions speak louder than words. He allows this to happen, that is called the longsuffering of God. Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? I don't want to seem belligerent towards you, so I beg your pardon beforehand. I have noticed in all of your posts, you have, neglected to give any scripture to validate your belief. Others have said through the course of this thread, the majority of experts, are in agreement with you, and that holding a sole belief is therefore wrong but there are still no scriptures, validating there belief. Aren't we bound by the forum guidelines, to use scripture to back up our arguments, in order to come to the truth of all scripture? I have posted verse, after verse in putting my view forward,.asked for the Greek if that could help, it seemed to bolster my argument (twice), what about other the scholars? I fully understand your viewpoint, but without scripture to back up that viewpoint, doesn't that then fall into the category of opinion, opinion is what I have been accused of. I have enjoyed the discourse thus far. In Him Imm |

To the Forum, (To clarify) There were a couple of comments about a post about, Benny Henn. The comments made, were probably close to what people were saying about Jesus. ( Although there was no narrative recorded.) What was posted, was to dramatize the fact, that if a person did not believe, that Benny Henn had a healing ministry, they would not go to him for a healing, I believe the people of Nazareth were of the same mind. They felt they knew him, therefore they would not partake of his ministry to them. In Him imm |
