Bible Note: Dear Bruce, Is this in accordance to God's stated Law? Yes, see Romans 9 So then, it isn't Man having faith in God? It's God having faith in Man? Is this biblical? No. You misunderstood my point. God is not obliged to be gracious to any of our filthy, wicked, God hating species! Just thank him for being gracious to you. So, God judges who he chooses and has mercy on who he chooses? I did'nt say it , Paul said it in Ro 9. I hate to be blunt, but Kings do not require acquiesense from rebellious subjects before He condemns them to death. They are rebels and will keep on rebelling. It's their natural desire. Only a miracle can change their wicked hearts. Good Night Bruce, John |
