Bible Question:
Hello, I have two questions that I can not answer and I hope someone out there can help me with them. Whenever I hear someone say the scriptures say and they make a statement that perhaps to them it sounds like it is in the bible I go to the bible and look it up. Here's the first one. "The devil meant it for my bad but God meant it for my good." The second one. "God has designed this rescue effort called salvation in such a simplistic fashion that he says a fool has no reason to error or err." Holla back if you feel me. |
Bible Answer: Rhema Logos, "As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day." [Genesis 50:20 Amplified] This sounds like the source for the first statement you mentioned. The brothers of Joseph thought to do him harm, but God turned it around and worked good from their evil plot. "And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed; the wayfaring men, yes, the simple ones and fools, shall not err in it and lose their way." [Isaiah 35:8 Amplified] This is indeed a reference to the simplicity of the Gospel Plan of New Testament Salvation. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Tim D. Cormier Tennessee Preacher |
