Bible Note: Hank Yeah it is late. Things to do. Here is that link I keep on yammering on about. http://gospelpedlar.com/articles/God/god_evil.html I appreciate your concerns and I hear you about Ty Ty's prayer. I still would like to know from anyone, what their take is on David, Jonathon, Rahab and why no one including God had anything to say to them about them lying to save lives as if that were bad. Plenty here say something about that, but the Bible is strangely silent about it as if it were some how a non issue in the face of what they did to save lives. God does not deliver us from every single situation, He often calls us to make hard decisions and does not provide a way out. 1 Samuel 27:1-12, 1 Samuel 29:4-8, 1 Samuel 30:1-6 1 Samuel 21:1-6, 1 Samuel 20:1-42, Joshua 2:1-24, 6:22-24, Judges 16:4-17, Exodus 1:15-20, Exodus 2:1-3 - In each and every case a sin of commission or of ommission was committed to save lives, lives that were within God's plans to be saved, and there was never going to be a plan B, there was only plan A. Another good example is David and Bathsheba, there was only plan A, Solomon came from an adulteress relationship whether we think it was right or not, which I do not, but there was never going to be a plan B by God to bring it about. See that link of Doc's above to see why that is even possible on any level. blessings abound, bowler |
