Bible Question: In Matthew 17 on the Transfiguration on the Mount, how did Peter KNOW that it was Moses and Elijah that appeared with Jesus?? Think of when they lived, the time difference. It's not like Peter had ever seen them before. So HOW did he KNOW?? |
Bible Answer: Rom 11:36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. Greetings again Sir Pent, I don't see that God making himself the end of all things as being selfish. I see it as being logical. For what higher or better purpose can anything exist but God? Do you yourself wish to exist for anything less than to please and glorify God? As to the sovereignty and goodness of an almighty God who ordains evil to exist in his universe, I’ll leave it with you to wrestle with God about it. But I know it can be a hard pill to swallow that God has “potter’s rights” over his creation. (Rom 9) But it seems that we have a double standard about God’s “potter’s rights.” We don’t think an author is evil if he writes a story full pain suffering and trails. In fact, we rejoice when the bad guy “gets it” in the end. Why, then, do we charge God with evil for his story (history)? It IS his story; it IS his creation. Has he not the right? Peace, Lionstrong |
