1 | A Wonderful Plan? How do you know? | Rom 1:18 | Reformer Joe | 20527 | ||
Johnny: You wrote: "You can even change the plan for God for you because of your free will." So God is not sovereign, but rather is dependent upon his creation? Show me where man frustrates the plan of God from Scripture. "Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD will stand." --Proverbs 19:21 You wrote: "Do you think it is part of the plan of God that Judas will betray Him, if you said yes, and your God is not fair." I would be careful how you refer to our just and holy God. Let's look at what the Bible says: Jesus answered them, "Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?" --John 6:70 Jesus chose his betrayer. "Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "AND THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER, THE PRICE OF THE ONE WHOSE PRICE HAD BEEN SET by the sons of Israel" --Matthew 27:9 The payment for Judas' betrayal was prophesied centuries before. "The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born." --Matthew 26:24 The crucifixion of Jesus was planned by God, and the betrayal was an intergral part of that plan. "But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him." --John 6:64 Getting the picture? FROM THE BEGINNING Jesus knew and chose one who would offer him up to those intending to kill him. The sin was Judas', but it was part of God's plan. You wrote: "So i think if God has plan for you dont accept his plan you can change it. For example God has a plan that you leave long here in this world but if you are going to jump from 100 floor of any building God will not stop you." Where is the Biblical support for this? These are nothing more than your (wrong) opinions and have no basis in the Bible. Show me just one example of God's revealed, stated plan for an individual being ruined because that individual "changed it." You won't find one, because our God is the sovereign Lord and not subjected to the whim of men. --Joe! |

Can Anyone tell me what KIND of Truth God Revealed to Man in the segment? | ||||||
3 | Truth | Rom 1:18 | Lionstrong | 27257 | ||
What KINDS of truths are there? Peace, Lionstrong And, Welcome to the Forum, Zion! |

4 | Kind of truth | Rom 1:18 | zion | 27323 | ||
Lionstrong, I asked myself the very same question when I saw this in my study. The string that followed yours claiming that the truth is in John 3:16-17 I see you have asked the same question. Could the truth mention in Romans be Jesus? I replaced the word "Truth" with 'Jesus' and it does seem to fit. But in the amplified, it would claim that mans wickedness hinders and makes Jesus inoperative, surely only in their own lives? And because of this God let's them use their free will so they will drown in their sin. That is one train of thought. The question still remains "What KINDS of truth are there? verse 19-20 speaks about the works of God and what God has made as evidence of THE truth. This is where I asked the question What KIND of truth is revealed? Can you see the dilema? GB (God Bless) Zion |

5 | Kind of truth | Rom 1:18 | Lionstrong | 27345 | ||
Dear Zion, The dilemma is a false one because the answer given your question, although pious, is an incorrect one. First there are the various dictionary definitions of truth, and then there are individual truths. Granted, the inspired writers may use a word a little differently than what you might sometimes find in a dictionary, but the translators chose what ever English word you are studying because the MEANING of its Greek or Hebrew counterpart most closely fit the meaning of that English word. So if you want to find out the meaning of an English word in your English Bible. Look first in the dictionary for the definitions given and then see which definition fits best in the context. In any case the definition of the word truth is not Jesus. The Bible says Jesus is the truth. It never says that the truth is Jesus. One would say Abraham Lincoln is tall, but--except to add poetic flare--one would not say tall is Abraham Lincoln. The two statements just don’t mean the same thing. In fact if one takes the second statements literally they are nonsense! The dictionary definition of truth is not Jesus, and the Bible never defines it that way, no matter how pious we want to be. But Jesus is the truth, in that there is nothing false in him. He is the truth, in that in him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. He is the truth in that like the truth he is the same yesterday, today and forever, that is, eternal and immutable. Peace, Lionstrong |

6 | Let's get back to the question at hand | Rom 1:18 | zion | 27360 | ||
Why are you avoiding the question? Stop attacking my thoughts a please lets get get to the heart of the matter. The original question is... "What KIND of truth is revealed in verses 18-25 of Romans 1" You answered this with.."What kinds of truth are there?" Nolan said that Jesus is the only truth. Well fair enough but I feel that the verse in question is trying to highlight another truth. The message Bible says... ....But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can't see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse.... Paul is writing about God's creation as evidence that God exsists. He is not writing about Jesus being THE truth. So, how can this creation that Paul is writing about in verses 18-25 best be explained as 'truth'? GB zion |

Nolan, I just received a Post from Joe. I think he has explained it best. We were begining to get to the answer albeit slowy, Joe has cut to the chase. He said at the end of his answer that the truth revealed in this scripture is the kind of truth that Condemns man. Later on there is a truth that reveals salvation for man. Thanks for you input, maybe you could help with the other question I have posted and that you gave an answer for before. GB zion |
