Bible Question: The bible says that God planned everything from before time began, but how can it be reconciled that a loving, just and merciful creator embark upon such a horrible plan to one day have to destroy many of the people He created? |
Bible Answer: Hi Pukalanian, The Bible says God wants everyone to be saved, so if someone rejects God, it's not because God wanted them to. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 (3) For this is good and acceptable before God our Savior, (4) who desires all men to be saved and to come to a full knowledge of truth. God provided a way for all men to be saved from their sins. John 3:14-17 (14) And even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, (15) that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (16) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (17) For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. Would we say that the Lord of Heaven isn't fair? Ezekiel 18:29-32 (29) But the house of Israel says, The way of the Lord is not fair. Are My ways not fair, O house of Israel? Is it not your ways that are not fair? (30) I will judge you, each man by his ways, O house of Israel, declares the Lord Jehovah. Turn and be made to turn from all your transgressions, and iniquity shall not be a stumbling-block to you. (31) Cast away all your transgressions from you by which you have transgressed in them, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit; for why will you die, O house of Israel? (32) For I do not have delight in the death of him who dies, declares the Lord Jehovah. So turn and live. God does not want any of us to die in our sins. But He will judge us by them if we steadfastly refuse His salvation. Love in Christ, Mark |
