Subject: Searching for the truth |
Bible Note: Hello Ed, "I'm saying saying I don't know why this son died but I see the good that came from out of it. It has brought much glory and honor to God. As a servant of God would you not be willing to die so that God got the glory? Remember the martyrs" This is not a case of being martyred...God did not get glory from the death, but from the living mother who chose to trust God's love without understanding. I told you before that as growing and developing believers these are truths that must come progressively. "Your right Satan did take her child's life but not before God gave Satan permission to do so. We can not die one second before God gives the okay. You forget who owns us, God. Satan can take nothing that God does not allow." God does not commit murder. To 'authorize' murder is to be a murderer. I own my cat but have no legal or moral right to kill it. Now I do agree with you here to a degree...God has given us His Word and Hiw Word teaches us His will and His Word teaches us consequences, requorements, and I know you hate the word but LAWS. God's Word, His covenant with us is His LAWS for us to live by. And He has bound HImself by those same laws, that same covenant. In that sense, yes, one might say God authorized it... But God does not murder His righteous children... Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: God's Word does not say All WILL be healed but I do believe that God's will for His children to be healed is established in the Word. "You said everyone that has to be healed if they have enough faith. I'm saying that is simply not true. No where in the Bible is that stated. " He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The chastisment of our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we were healed. Acts 14:9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, And many more I have not the time to list. "Everyone dies from something" Where is this stated in scripture? 1. Old Age is not a desease. To complete your life and calling then your spirit departs is totally different from cancer or heart desease forcing your spirit out of the body. God bless |
