Bible Question: If God knows what's going to happen in advance. He must have known that people were going to rebel and sin, so why does he get angry and strike out at his people? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Vic; I'll take a little different approach from EdB's. While we could probably have an interesting discussion about the words "strike out at", I'll just make an observation: I know my kids will rebel and sin. That doesn't keep me from disciplining them. Sometimes I let them suffer the natural consequences of their actions. And sometimes I manage to just show them grace. So it is with God. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
