Bible Question:
Joe, So if your God is that kind of God, what is the purpose of the people trying to be GOOD? if God dictated anything? What we can do is just wait to die. Because anything you are going to do is useless, we no choices because when the person born it is oschestrated by God what will happen to this person. It is God who choses where our soul will go, either it is in hell or in heaven. I would like to ask you Joe, are going to church on Sunday or what day which you specify? If you tell me that you are did go to church, for what? Why you dont wait whats God's plan for you? Because according to your statement Gods know what will happen to you. So if you do bad or good it is useless, becuase it is God designed your life, and it is God who decide of where your soul will go. Ge 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. Here in this passages, God tested the faith of Abraham, Why God tested the faith of Abraham if he knew it already? Just for fun? it is mentioned here:(for now I know that thou fearest God, I know that God has the power to know everything that He want to know, but I dont think He will try to know first the result of his test to Abraham before He do it, otherwise he is unfair God. Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. it is mentioned in php 2:12 work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Now why we have to workout for our own salvation if our life is designed already? What is the purpose of working out if the output will also the same? Meaning whether you do Good and Bad it is useless because it was designed already what the future of your soul is. Johnny |
Bible Answer: About that Abraham thing, God tested Abraham's faith so Abraham could progress from faith to faith and glory to glory. It's like impure gold, and you run it through fire to burn up the impurities. Of course, God already knew that Abraham could handle it. But if God had not done that, Abraham's faith would not have been strengthened. Well, let's say, after that experience, Abraham now knows that God will never go back on His promise, no matter what. And anyway, if God had not tested him, there would have been no future in which Abraham would have been obedient. So when it happened, Abraham's obedience was more or less proven, and the devil cannot accuse Abraham anymore. And as for not being able to choose anything, that's not true. God gave us all a free will. That's why there's such a thing as faith and doubt. |
