NASB | Mark 4:12 so that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND BE FORGIVEN." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 4:12 so that THEY WILL CONTINUALLY LOOK BUT NOT SEE, AND THEY WILL CONTINUALLY HEAR BUT NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT TURN [from their rejection of the truth] AND BE FORGIVEN." [Is 6:9, 10; Matt 13:11-15] |
Bible Question: In 2 Thessalonians Ch2 V11 God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie. Why do you think God does that? Also does that make you more dtermined to do what you know what is right rather than dabble in wrong doing? |
Bible Answer: Look in the Previous verse for a clue..2 thes 2:10 because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. And in verse 12..in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.He does it because his Love demands it.Gods Law and ways are always perfect. We tend to think of God as always Loving. Our interpretation of Love is gushey,touchey feely.God hates sin and gives each of us an opportunity time and again to be saved(repent and come to know him)the scripture says 1 tim 2:4 that He desires all men (women too)to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.The heart of the gospel of the Kingdom of God is for Salvation,both spirtual and physical for all whom would call on the name of the Lord. I would also look at Romans 10:9-10. The only way you will stop doing Wrong in Gods site is to surrender your life to Jesus personally. Each of us has to make that decision from the heart.When you do and ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior then the curse of the law and judgements against you cease.Srcripture says that all our rightousness is as filhy rags..All our works done in our own efforts and strength as a dung to God.You can have a personal relationship with God.. Yes you can know him through the scriptures and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Hope this helps.. Van |
