Bible Question:
Can anyone else answer this question? I appreciate that Johnny at least tried, but just saying that God's timing is perfect doesn't really answer the question. Doesn't anyone out there have any thoughts on this issue. Why did God's perfect timing dictate that He wait so long to send the Holy Spirit? |
Bible Answer: Let the wicked forsake his way,and the unrighteous man his thoughts:and let him return unto the LORD,and he will have mercy upon him;and to our God,for he will adundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts,neither are your ways my ways, said the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.(ISAIAH 55:7-9) "In addition God said" Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said they do alway err in their heart;and they have not known my ways.(HEBREWS 3:10) "Also" Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes:fear the lord,and depart from evil. (PROVERBS 3:5-7)For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed;He setteth himself in a way that is not good:he abhorreth not evil. (PSALM 36:2-4)Have mercy oh lord my God, for you are the great almighty awesome God and all power is in your hand and your timing is perfect.Thank-you for your redeeming/call of Israel out of Egypt and sending your son Jesus to redeem/call us out of a world of sin; fulfilling the promise given to father Abraham.Thank you for Jesus and the Holy spirit'you are a on time God.Without your spirit we can not live a Holy'Holy,Holy life , for all of us have sin and come short of your glory. |
