61 | ALL things? | 2 Tim 3:16 | miller521 | 194098 | ||
Do you believe that scripture is showing us that God created some people to be murders etc etc? Would that not line up with the teachings of predestination? | ||||||
62 | ALL things? | 2 Tim 3:16 | miller521 | 194095 | ||
If God employs ALL things in order to acomplish His eternal purpose, doesn't that mean that thieves, murderers, prostitutes, are simply doing God's will on this earth? Perhaps he wants someone to have to go through recovery after being raped, would that not mean that the person who comitted the crime was doing the will of God? And would he not have to be a bigot to then send that person to hell for doing that crime? | ||||||

That is not entirely accurate Doc, there are many many cases where they simply say death was due to 'heart failure' if you read up on some medical journals you'll see that this is simply the heart stops, its not classified as a disease, just something that the medical community knows to happen. You don't have to be sick to go home to be with the Lord. | ||||||

I am sorry, I mistyped. I did mean to see that just because they say they are a Christian doesn't mean that they are a Christian. And if you would not attend the wedding of unsaved family members, then I assume your heart is telling you not to go to this one. You just have to seek God in prayer and do what he leads you to do. |

66 | getting a tattoo and is this a sin? | James 4:17 | miller521 | 194048 | ||
I don't see that there is scripture that applies for us today that tells us if a tatoo is sinful or not. You need to seek God on this matter, I can't find a scripture that will tell you yes or no. Sorry brother. |

I've also seen people believe God put a sicknes on them, and they say all manner of silly things such as how God is doing that to them to make them stronger etc etc.... Yet you know what I've never seen, I've never seen them pray that their children can have cancer to in order to have the same wonderful expereicne in their life. Perhaps they are selfish and don't want their kids to be taught by God as well as they are being taught. | ||||||

I understand where you are coming from. However, let me ask you this, you say they are 'profesing' Christians. IF they didn't profess to be a Christian and were unsaved, would you attend the wedding? I think its important to understand that just because someone says they are a Christian, that they are, and its also important to realize that at times, Christians don't have the full knowledge of God's Word. The best thing I believe we can do for them is to show them unconditional love. And is not going to the wedding what Christ would do? Or would he sit down with sinners so that they see what real character is all about? But ultimately, you have to let the Word and the Holy Ghost speak to your heart, and tell you how to act in this manner. |

69 | Why are we accused of blaming God? | Rom 9:21 | miller521 | 194042 | ||
Good points, very good points. | ||||||
70 | Why are we accused of blaming God? | Rom 9:21 | miller521 | 194037 | ||
My own words don't make my day brother, God's Word does. I'm sorry you don't want to talk about it anymore, I enjoy lively conversation, especially when it pertains to his Word. | ||||||
71 | Why are we accused of blaming God? | Rom 9:21 | miller521 | 194034 | ||
Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God [to be] the Judge of quick and dead. 2 Ti 4:1 I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Jesus Christ has been made the Judge, not the Father. So if someone is being 'judged' and deemed that they need cancer, its Jesus putting that on them in that theory. However that is a theory, because it says there the judgement will be at His appearing. |

72 | Why are we accused of blaming God? | Rom 9:21 | miller521 | 194033 | ||
Well, what I am asking, is if he gave them a choice, how could he have been in full control of what they choose? If I give you a choice on two things, I'm not in full control of what you pick am I? Its still up to you, correct? I am not saying God will only be glorified when you are healed, God gets glory when we stand on his Word, and if you are standing on the promise in 2 Peter 2:24 that you were healed by the stripes of Jesus, then God can be glorified. I'm simply saying, we need to put the blame where its due, and not jump to the conclusion that God is being evil in our lives. |

73 | Why are we accused of blaming God? | Rom 9:21 | miller521 | 194022 | ||
Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: If God was in full control, why did he give them a choice? I beleive the problem arises when we attribute eveything in our life to God, well I got cancer, tmust be God... ( However people want to stand against him and take medicine for the cancer, foolish if you beleive God wants you to be sick ) Well my car broke down, must be God teaching me something... People want to deny that there is a devil in this earth, and that he is the one who steals kills and destroys ( John 10:10) However, give God the glory when you were attacked with Cancer and he healed your body, thats when he will get the glory. |

74 | God allowing things in our lives | 2 Tim 3:16 | miller521 | 194021 | ||
Yes, Christ did allow the pain of the cross to come upon himself. Matt. 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? Phl 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. God allowed his Son to suffer, because as John 3:16 says He loved the world that much. But the key word here is allow, Jesus had the power to lay down his own life, and to take it up again. John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. Right there Jesus says that he lays down his life, he says nothing about the Father laying it down, he points out that he is in control. So no, it puts nothing to rest. The plagues would never have come on Egypt had Pharoah been obedient. But Pharoah, like many people today, blame God for the plagues, instead of realizing, God had already sent his Word, he said this would happen if you listen to me, this would happen if you dont, now you get to chose. Just like this passage Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: God even goes so far as to tell them what they should choose, but not all did, and even today, not all do chose to live in his blessing. Lets put it this way, we are the express image of God on this earth, and we are suppose to conform ourselves to the image of Jesus Christ, we are to take on his character and live upon this earth untill he returns for us. If I were to explain to my child why they are not to do a certain thing, such as play out in the street, and they know what I've said, yet they sneak out of my house as a teenager and play in the street and get hit by a car.... am I responsible? Was it me setting them up to get hurt... or would they have been better off to have been obedient? Kind of puts a rest to it now doesn't it? God Bless! |

I also recognize his sovernighty, but being soverign does not mean you have to be killing, stealing and destroying, in other words, to be soverign does not mean you have to be a thief. Romans 8:28 is a great example of what I am saying. Everything can work towards our good, no matter what it is. Even a family member dying unsaved and going to hell, thats part of all things isn't it? Do you think that means God made sure that person went to hell in order for it to work for your good... or is it possible they are to blame for not accepting Jesus Christ and ending up in that horrible place? I chose to believe the Bible when it says He is willing that none should perish, but that all should come to repentence. Phil 2:13 is also another great scripture, he works in us both to will and do his good pleasure, can you give me a scripture where God's pleasure is to see his children in pain? I am not saying that suffering doesn't come, I am simply saying that God does not use it in order to correct us, or as so many try to say, teach us a lesson. I am simply saying that when it does come, God can use it to strengthen and prove us, and make us stronger. But ultimately, he wants to work in us to see that those challenges are removed. And finally I am saying that his Word is perfect. It will work for any and all occasions. Its why Christians should be the marriage counselors, its why Christians should be the doctors, we should be the ones working at the city missions, because the Word is a road map that can handle every situation that arises in our lives. Its sufficient, there is no need for any other instruction, the Word and the Holy Ghost will lead us into all truth. |

I am sorry, I took for granted my own knowledge, I assumed everyone knew that the book of Exodus contained the story of Pharoah I was talking about. I'm sorry that I assumed you knew that. Forgive me brother, I'll try to make sure I note every scripture. | ||||||

So you can die in sin and still recieve eternal life? What if they had died while comitting adultery, or comitting murder? If I were to run out and comitt murder, do you believe there is a chance God would kill me and bring me into heaven with him? Ok and for your first reference, would the man have died, had he obeyed God? I am simply trying to point out, that God said you will die if you touch this in a certain way. When it was touched and the man died, that was simply God's Word coming to pass. Just like God telling us that if we die a sinner, we will end up in Hell, that is our choice to make, God doesn't make that choice for us. They had the choice to obey God and live, or disobey him and die. It wasn't that God wanted it to happen, but it did. But where does the scriptures show us how God corrects us? Through being a thief? Or do we believe the Word that says in 2 Tim 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: The Word is used to correct us. |

Thanks for the response BrakK. I can't possibly show less emotion when I talk about God's Word, I'm very passionate about it. I And two I am biblically sound. I have quoted John 10:10 which tells us what a thief does. And some claim God does the work of a thief, I want to hear how they justify that. |
