NASB | Matthew 17:20 And He *said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 17:20 He answered, "Because of your little faith [your lack of trust and confidence in the power of God]; for I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if you have [living] faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and [if it is God's will] it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. [Mark 11:23; Luke 17:6; 1 John 5:14] |
Bible Question:
Can God create a rock so big, even he can't lift it? I'm sure we've all heard this question once or twice. How do we answer it? If we say yes then he's not powerful enough to lift it? If we say no, then he's not powerful enough to make it? We can't win. Or can we? This question would probably be unanswerable for those that don't believe in the God of the bible, so how do Christians answer? Well ask yourself another question in light of the bible. Can God lie? or sin? absolutly not, but wouldn't that mean that God is not all powerful? No we are not talking about attributes of God, Gods power is one of His attributes. The fact that God can't lie is in relation to His character, and has nothing to do with power. God's character prevents Him from lying, God's character prevents Him sinning. Just as it would be a violation of the character of God to create something that He could not control. The unchanging character of God directly reflects His nature as God. Anyone else care to comment? |
