Subject: God always gets what he desires? T or F |
Bible Note: God's day to you, Norton, The word desires is in verse 4 "(God) who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." First, to rely on just English is not wise. One needs to look at the original. There are several Greek words we translate desire. Some are ... aiteo, epizeteo, epipotheo, parakaleo, zeloo. Thelo is the Greek word, which is a stronger form of haireomai (choose in English). Thelo is also translated wish and want, as well as others. 2 Peter 3:9 also shows that God "desires" no one to perish. But it doden't mean He will get His way. His determined will cannot be changed ... including the timing of Christ's birth and the other prophecies about Him ... and all He has says that will happened or has. Searcher |
