Subject: Why is death God's enemy? |
Bible Note: Doc I actually have reviewed what I said and agree with your statement here that to say what God had foreknowledge of and allowed to happen "was not in God's plan" is problematic. I also strongly agree that there was never a plan "B". But somewhere here there needs to be a disticntion between what God allows to happen, as in God allows evil and death, but is not the author of them (is God the author of death?) - and that God foreknows "what" will happen. I agree God is sovereign, not one thing happens to a sparrow without His consent - which point I did make, that nothing happens without His allowing it to happen. I think this blunders into the area of God fore-ordaining things to happen, if I am correct, which is a "problematic" area altogether anyway. If you would care to comment on that aspect some illumination might be had here? 1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness. - in regards to worldly knowledge in the face of the mind and purpose of God. blessings abound, bowler |
