Bible Question:
AO, How can you say that? You say that Mankind cannot change the plan, but, you can change your role in it?? What?? If you are put in His plan you do have a role in it! If you take yourself out, you change His master plan, because your name is written on the list to begin with. If God has cast you or has changed your heart of stone to a heart of flesh (Ezek 36:26-27) and helps you to see His wonderous plan for you why would you go against it? Yes salvation is of the Lord (Jonah 2:9) It is centered on HIM! He will build His church regardless. Sola Scriptura Mike |
Bible Answer: Mike, Say someone works for a company whose "master plan" is to make a profit. That person can either decide to do good work and benefit or do shoddy work and suffer the consequences. Either way the company's master plan has stayed the same. They are still there to make a profit. Additionally, why would this employee, who knows that his company's motives are pure and that his work there supports himself and his family, fail to live up to his end of the employment contract? Is it not within the employee's scope of responsibility to serve his employer as his employer directs? Why does the employee decide to jeopardize his own welfare? Why would God require anything less for His creation? AO |
