Bible Note: Hi Charis, You write that you "have been through this one before." Did you come to some answers? How do you understand these two verses here? I did not raise this question for the sake of trying to stir up dissention or any other kind of trouble. I too am convinced that God is good. It is precisely because of this that I am really perplexed by this passage (and a couple of others that I have now encountered) and desire to understand. Simply ignoring passages of Scripture that I do not understand - and especially those that seem to contradict what I think I do understand already - is not an acceptable option for me. I'm sorry if my question has offended you, but I think it is a good question that desires consideration, even if I may not ever have a compete answer this side of heaven. If you have some insight into this that may be helpful to me (or others who are also reading this), it would be much appreciated. Have a good day. Bob |
