Subject: God always gets what he desires? T or F |
Bible Note: Hello Keliy You are saying "My suggestion would be to look at the last definition for the Greek word "thelo" to take delight in, have pleasure Yes Iam agreeing with you on the Greek word "thelo". You are saying "I would definitely say that God would take delight in all men being saved." Yes Iam agreeing with you on this statement also. Even if the other words are being used (pleasure delight) that would not be changing the sounding of the scripture to me. It would still be saying that God is having this desire for all mankind to be saved. But the question is being. Why when God is having the power by being (soverin) would he be having this desire? He was being the one deciding how everything would be. In saying he desires all men to be saved. Is this not then saying that all men are having the possability of being saved? Or is it saying that he is regreting that he has only predestinated a few? Because what Iam understanding is that there are then 2 apposing beleafs. Unless I have missed the scripture that is the reconsiling of these 2 beleafs. Is there any scripture doing this thing? You are saying "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. Without the capacity to decide, can we possibly make a choice?" Again Iam agreeing with you. This is being the reason Iam having these questions. This is being what Iam thinking. If God has predestinated who he wanted to be saved before the foundations of the world. Do we (all mankind) ever have the possability to make a choice? If God has given to us (all mankind) an alternative. A capasity to decide. Then who are the ones being predestinated? I hope I have been clear to you Blessings to you my brother KcabmI4 |
