AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality--faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. |
Subject: Operate on faith or endure? |
Bible Note: Graceful Last time we talked you used the word obligated, as in if we do thus and such that God was obligated, yet this time you talk of God sovereignty and will. I think it is these subtle little things that are making the difference. I know Copeland’s teaching very well and he teaches God is obligated to our faith when in fact God is obligated to nothing, he has given us everything including the faith we are trying to obligate him with. Nowhere in scripture does it suggest our faith will override God’s will yet that is exactly what WOF teaches. Do you believe God has to do anything, like heal you if you have enough faith? Do you think your faith can force God to change His will. Do we always know God’s will? Why do you think Job had all his problems? Was it a lack of faith? Because of sin? Maybe your answer to these questions will answer my confusion. EdB |
