Bible Note: Hi Survivor, Would you consider murder to be "the will of God"? The murder of God's Son served the purpose of God. Does this mean that God condones or approves murder? Absolutely not! But, God knew that these people to whom He sent His Son would murder Him, which would accomplish the sacrifice God planned all along. All things, my friend, means all things. You said "God doesn't send prophets to warn nor does he destroy people that are doing his will." God destroyed Pharoah for his rebellion: Ex 9:13 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 14 For I will this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. 15 For now I had put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou hadst been cut off from the earth: 16 but in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, to show thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. Romans 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth. Did Pharoah do what God asked him to do? No. Did Pharoah serve God's purpose? "for this purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee My power." Yes, in spite of himself Pharoah served God's purpose, as did the people who murdered Jesus, as do you, and as do I, and as do all things. Not everyone willingly submits to the Lord. No one will cause any plan of God to fail. When a man rebels, it is to their own hurt, and God will be glorified in their righteous destruction as He will be glorified in our redemption and adoption. Love in Christ, Mark |
