Bible Note: Dear Arnie.... You Wrote..."Well the world would sure be a lot better place, now wouldn't it." Referring to an earlier post of yours that did not see a "just and merciful" God at work in the way salvation works. I'm happy that you think you found a better plan for the world than God has established. If I understand your position, and the words are there for all to read, we all deserve to receive whatever we want regardless of what our Creator wants. But wait! My man designed lawnmower no longer wants to cut grass and my other man made objects no longer want to work in the way I have designed them to work. The revolt of the machines!! The insane have taken over the asylum. Oh no. But surely that is better than submitting to a designer or Designer/Creator. After all you would argue, how could the designer know any more than his design as to what is best? Satan’s folly dear friend Arnie. Harry Truman said “Nothing is new except the history you haven’t read” and that applies to all of us studying the Bible in the Christian community. If indeed you are a Christian. We sometimes get jokesters on the Forum. But I think you were serious when you said that if God would do it your way the world would be a lot better place. God Bless….Jensen P.S. Usually after a few posts on the Forum, contributors will tell us all a little about themselves in the “personal profile” section. I enjoy your input and look forward to knowing a little more about you. God Bless. |
