Bible Question (short): Is God omnipotent? |
Question (full): Greetings Tim, If what you say is true, you are telling me that Gods abilities are limited. That He is not omnipotent(having unlimited power/ability). God is trying to get people to believe/have faith in His Son but while drawing them in, he loses them (like fishing for that big mouth bass: The fish is just too heavey to pull in, and when caught, the fish is pulled in with the net having a hole at the bottom and he escapes.) ;) Doesn't God have the PERFECT fishing equipment to hang his prize catch on the wall? :) Don't you think that God had to get the Jailer interested in what Paul and Silas was doing to see how Great Salvation in Christ really is? The words interested and see (eyes) must have been given him by the Father. Rom 3:11 "There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God." The only ones who seeks God, must be given the interest by the Father first and then belief! The Holy Spirit must be within you to have faith, otherwise you are not adopted. Which brings another good point: What decisions do adopted children have in their adopted parents? None, the parents chose the adopted child and therefore is a member of the family! In Christ, your brother, Micko |
