Subject: God always gets what he desires? T or F |
Bible Note: Hi KcabmI4, Thank you for your question. I saw this after I posted the 7 translations. My suggestion would be to look at the last definition for the Greek word "thelo" to take delight in, have pleasure I would definitely say that God would take delight in all men being saved. So then, that would be His desire. Yes, God can do as He pleases. Like Norton's reference to desiring a new motor for his boat. It would be simple for God to just command a motor to become new. God could also command us to love Him, but that would not be true love. In order for love to be true, there must be an alternative. Or else we would just be a race of talking heads. Without the capacity to decide, -can we possibly make a choice? Faith, and blessings to you. keliy |
