Bible Question:
This is a re-post in the hope that it stays long enough for it to be READ!! Greetings everyone, there seems to be a spirit of discord not harmony in the camp, can we stop bickering over "words" and show the LOVE we should have one for another. We may not agree with one another but can we stop and pray before posting, read over our posts and see where the LOVE is missing/ Now a question to get you thinking? "a conceptual and fanciful personification of the unknown causes of our misfortunes" Do we know what the world is talking about, is the world aware of what they are talking about? Is the language used today hiding the truth or stating the truth, how do we answer? What does Holy Scripture say on the subject? SHALOM RJJ. |
Bible Answer: Greetings RJJ "a conceptual and fanciful personification of the unknown causes of our misfortunes" I'ma bit confused here - are you asking a question about this phrase? Where did it come from? In what context is it written and who is the intended readership? To take a wild GUESS at what you might be looking for, I would say that this is the world's response to the devil,"a conceptual and fanciful personification," an oft blamed "cause our our misfortune", However, much as we might LIKE to lay blame at his feet, most of the causes of misfortunes are a result of sin and our choices. (This started it all, and we are still reaping the consequences of that first fatal choice to rebel against God! see also Romans 8:20-22) As a believer, sometimes the choices that I make, even God honoring ones, have consequences that are difficult to bear, BUT knowing that in the end, ALL things, even those that we can not imagine how, WILL work together for GOOD to those who love God and are called according to HIS purposes (Ro 8:28) - this gives me confidence and courage! Let's not forget - it's all about HIM! Clarify your post please! (I agree with your observations of some recent "family" problems!) Blessings, mommapbs |
