2 | Does God think negative thoughts. | 1 Cor 2:16 | Timla6 | 86164 | ||
Asis, My answer would have to be NO, for the following reasons: I am of the mind that if Paul was to instruct us, (in Phl 4:8,) "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things." That here Paul is not wishing us to be in any contradiction or competition with the thoughts of God. Since God is omniscient, He knows all, and if there were ever a negative thought in His presence, He would know of it instantaneously. Here are some examples from the AMP to show that God knows past, present and future. (exclamation points are mine) John 5:6 When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing (!) that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, Do you want to become well? [Are you really in earnest about getting well?] (In context: John 5:5-7) John 18:4 Then Jesus, knowing (!)all that was about to befall Him, went out to them and said, Whom are you seeking? [Whom do you want?] (In context: John 18:3-5) John 19:28 After this, Jesus, knowing (!)that all was now finished (ended), said in fulfillment of the Scripture, I thirst (In context: John 19:27-29) |
