1 | Are miracles for today? | 1 Cor 13:8 | survivor | 133151 | ||
Most people speak as if meteorologists are able to foretell the future, but not God, and they feel God must "know everything" that will happen, otherwise he would be unable to deal with things. This is simply false reasoning. No puny creature of God's will ever be able to use his freewill to stop God from fulfilling his purposes. When God has accomplished all that has been recorded in the Bible, this fact will be fully proven. But to predetermine "all things" proves nothing, except perhaps what Satan claims: That the only loyalty God receives from his creatures is bribed! That God could predict how his son would be treated on an earth under Satan's control should not surprise believers. That he would choose to record certain details in advance by selectively looking into the future, without predetermining the outcome for any individuals (including Jesus) should not seem incredulous either. This helped to identify the true Messiah and build faith that God's other promises would be carried out through him. And finally, that God could say in advance that his son would accomplish all that he sent him to do should not confuse anything, for God has the utmost confidence in all his servants, but most of all, his beloved firstborn. We are not robots. We must choose life. (Deut 30:19) |

survivor, Some of your statements are rather puzzling! You say "for God has the utmost confidence in all his servants, but most of all, his beloved firstborn." I hope you're not intimating that Jesus was "created" or born in the sense we are? The "beloved firstborn" is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Only Begotten, preeminent and eternal Son of God. Your language and choice of words would seem to indicate an affiliation with the JW's. Would you care to put your cards on the table, so-to-speak as to your theological persuasion? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
