Bible Note: Greetings Joe! You wrote: "Such a scenario does not happen." I'm assuming that you mean by your statement that individuals cannot resist God's will. How about Mt. 23:37? "??O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing." Isn't this an example of individuals resisting God 's will for their lives? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
