Bible Note: God's own Word, which He swears by, is the essence of Himself John 1:1-3 'boxed' Himself in by covenant. God is not a covenant breaker. I agree with both verses above and do not see where God's Word of Covenant contradicts these verses. His Word IS His will. If His Word were unreliable He would be like mankind..unreliable. But we know God is faithful and His Word is ABSOLUTE we should not have any qualms about asking Him to reveal how this was possible in light of Romans 5:14-17. The answer is most likely hidden in His Word, but we can't see it due to our own 'boxed in thinking', which may or may not correct. God bless |
