Bible Note: Graceful Thank you for your definitions and the scripture that attest to them, we will use these as we proceed. One word you didn't touch and needs to be explained is conditional. Conditional - Imposing or depending on, or containing a condition or conditions. Most of God promises are conditional based on conditions God has established such as, (since everyone so relishes proof text rather than looking at the whole intent of the word of God I will provide proof texts) God's purpose, Job 42:2 "I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. God's timing, Psalm 69:13 But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with Your saving truth. Eccles. 3:1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven— Eccles. 3:11 He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end. God's desire, Psalm 135:6 Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps. Jude 1:25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Our best interest, Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Our belief, John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. another promise made by God, Hebrews 6:18 so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. a particular people or nation. 1 Kings 8:56 "Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised; not one word has failed of all His good promise, which He promised through Moses His servant. I think it is these conditions that are that many times ignored and raises the problems we discuss. Things like our best interest. We can’t begin to know what is good for us only God does and He has promised not to violate our best interest. So when something does or does not occur it in not only because of our desire or faith but because of God promise to make all things happen to our best interest. This is probably the most common promise violated by the Word of Faith formula, the violation that something has to occur because we have faith in it even if it would not be in our best interest. Awaiting you further response to my questions. EdB |
