1 | Pointing out failures | Matthew | bridgetteciaj | 160537 | ||
Oh, I thought of something else. Phil 4:8 tells us: 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. So telling them what they are doing right allows them to focus on that. However, God does use correction as well as encouragement. |

2 | What is dispensationalism? | 2 Tim 2:15 | bridgetteciaj | 160528 | ||
The belief that God deals with people differently during different periods of time. Example: Adam and Eve- Law written on their hearts, so God dealt with them in a certain way, then The Law: Men were held to that standard. Then Grace: When Jesus came. Now we are under the dispensation of Grace. It is also sometimes taught that certain acts of God are only for a certain time. For example: miracles are not for today, that dispensation has passed. It was during the time of Jesus and the Apostles. However, I personally don't hold to this because of Hebrews 13:8 (God is the same yesterday, today and forever.) Yes, God deals with us where we are, but his values and standards are always the same. His standard is perfection. Remember, Abraham has his faith credited to him as righteousness PRIOR to Jesus dying on the cross.

3 | IS THIS VERSE HERE FOR THE CHURCH OR THE | Rom 3:23 | bridgetteciaj | 160525 | ||
I would agree. The Bible is so multi-layered, I think to suggest any book speaks only to one segment of humanity is limiting God. While the bulk of a book like Romans really focuses on our lives as Christians, because it outlines so well the way we are called to behave - it naturally has an impact on non-christians. Just because they haven't accepted Jesus, doesn't mean that God wants any less for them. I think you've got it right! |

4 | Did Hezekiah make the right choice? | 2 Kin 20:3 | bridgetteciaj | 153348 | ||
I would add that BOTH God and Hezekiah, as well as Menassah, CHOSE and bear the responsibility of their choices. We need to remember that God operates in a different realm than we do. We can only understand things from our perspective in time and life. God truly sees things differently because he has so much information. You remember the old story of the blindfolded scientists presented with an elephant and they all come up with different descriptions of what it is because of their limited experience. God always does His will. It would seem to me impossible for Him not to do His will...though I don't quite grasp how it works I trust who God is and as others have commented, accept my ignorance on the matter. And look at the example we are given by Hezekiah; whichever way you want to take it. Bridgette ciaj |
