Subject: God allowing things in our lives |
Bible Note: I also recognize his sovernighty, but being soverign does not mean you have to be killing, stealing and destroying, in other words, to be soverign does not mean you have to be a thief. Romans 8:28 is a great example of what I am saying. Everything can work towards our good, no matter what it is. Even a family member dying unsaved and going to hell, thats part of all things isn't it? Do you think that means God made sure that person went to hell in order for it to work for your good... or is it possible they are to blame for not accepting Jesus Christ and ending up in that horrible place? I chose to believe the Bible when it says He is willing that none should perish, but that all should come to repentence. Phil 2:13 is also another great scripture, he works in us both to will and do his good pleasure, can you give me a scripture where God's pleasure is to see his children in pain? I am not saying that suffering doesn't come, I am simply saying that God does not use it in order to correct us, or as so many try to say, teach us a lesson. I am simply saying that when it does come, God can use it to strengthen and prove us, and make us stronger. But ultimately, he wants to work in us to see that those challenges are removed. And finally I am saying that his Word is perfect. It will work for any and all occasions. Its why Christians should be the marriage counselors, its why Christians should be the doctors, we should be the ones working at the city missions, because the Word is a road map that can handle every situation that arises in our lives. Its sufficient, there is no need for any other instruction, the Word and the Holy Ghost will lead us into all truth. |
