Bible Question: thanks! i concur that his thoughts are not our thoughts, etc; what i was asking for was an educated (as compared to MY scripture educaiton or lack thereof) opinion as to the reasons for these occurances |
Bible Answer: hic, how can there possibly be an "educated opinion" on these matters in the absence of any biblical revelation about them? All that we can offer, and that without worth or merit of any kind, are hints, guesses, speculations and gossamer webs woven out of human imagination. Worthless drivel all, and not worth a penny to God or to His church. ...... "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5). ...... This seeking after that which God has not chosen to reveal is not unlike the occasion many centuries ago when the impetuous Peter tried to meddle in matters that were none of his business but the Lord's. And Jesus' response to Peter was: "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me" (John 21:22). ...... God handled the Flood in His way. And what is that to thee, or to me? Ours is not to question God; ours is to follow the Savior in humble submission, with, as the Scriptures say, "fear and trembling." --Hank |
