Subject: Is God subject to change? |
Bible Note: John "It is not a bad thing that we wrestle with one another over these great doctrines, for it forces us to prove our doctrines by diligent study of Holy Writ and prayer." Is that our purpose or is it to make disciples? The church for to long has been too busy perfecting it's doctrine while letting people go to hell. Foreordained has meaning to us only when we used it in reference to time. To us it means putting something in place in the past that comes to fruition in the future. However since God is not constrained by time tells us our definition can’t accurately describe the process that actually takes place. To God what we view as our past is just as present, just as current as is our present and so is our future. Time simply doesn’t exists. Therefore there is absolutely no way for us to understand what God does in the process, therefore trying to establish a meaningful doctrine based on a word that only approximates what really takes place is a prideful attempt of man to explain something God has not totally revealed. Besides the whole process is so minor when compared to what is so really important in our relationship with God that it is more or less a waste of time to even ponder the point. It is like trying to describe the Trinity we can’t, however we know it exists so we just accept it. God has clearly stated He will hold us responsible for our own actions however you describe them, therefore that tells me in God's eye we must have been the one that initiated them from our will.
