Subject: Is God subject to change? |
Bible Note: New Creature For the last time...God is NOT the author of sin! But He does ordain evil deeds as in the case of Acts 4:28,29. This passage says Acts 4:27 "For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, Acts 4:28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur. This is not a difficult passage to understand. Anyone who knows how to read can understand it's meaning. The hard part is getting it to fit a pre-concieved idea that is in opposition to it's clear teaching. So words must be twisted to say something other than what they mean and people who disagree with twisting scripture are accused of heresy! For the last time. when it is said that God pre-destines or to fore-ordains that a thing happens, it means that it happened because He had willed it to happen beforehand. To say that He knew that it was going to happen and thats the reason why He pre-destined it is nonsensical. If you don't see that itis nonsense, then, I must conclude that you are willfully refusing to believe what the passage teaches because it does not fit your conception of God Himself. May God grant you enlightenment. John |
