| Subject: Why God tolerated Abraham and Isaac? |
|
Bible Note: Johnny: Basically, a man of God such as Abraham had that kind of personality because he was a man. And God tolerated that action because He is God. With the single exception of Jesus Himself, the men of God in the Bible were not absolutely sinless. In the Bible there are many examples of believers (OT and NT) who reached perfection (better translated as "maturity") only after many years of living. They failed and trespassed against God at various times in their lives. Even we, as believers today, love God and hate sin. It isn't that we never trespass, but loving God more and more and hating sin more and more remains the general direction of our lives -- that is, if we are truly born again. Moreover, it is impossible to disappoint someone who has known everything about you since before you were ever born. Why did God tolerate it when Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, and Peter (to name but a few) missed the mark? Because God is a God of mercy and forgiveness. Always good to read your postings, Johnny, and to communicate with you. God bless you, my brother. Grace and peace to you, kalos |
