“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Philippians 2:13 (KJV 1900)No he doesn't. Does Paul say God planned your every thought? That he rendered certain your every sin?
I'm not worried about that thread. I don't think it is a reasonable question for a believer to ask. Our current events are no worse than 5000 other events in history. If Christians in those days still trusted that God was good, why shouldn't we?I am open to moving it to a thread that everyone has access to, I thought everyone did have access to that one. But, I am pretty sure it doesn't belong in Current events and News. Yes, it is a reasonable question to ask based on the current events, but it is a question about the bible, not the news.
That doesn't even come close to saying what you claimed...and it's conditional on the sentence before it:“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Philippians 2:13 (KJV 1900)
many more if interested.....
“Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?” Romans 9:19 (KJV 1900)That doesn't even come close to saying what you claimed...and it's conditional on the sentence before it:
"therefore my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,"
God only works in us if we work with him.
How do we answer unbelievers who ask Christians, why our loving God would (allow or send) this microscopic enemy to reek such devastating havoc on the world.
There's a lot of disagreement among professing Christians on, whether God sent this virus or whether it was manufactured in a lab and sent out to be used as a weapon of war. Or whether it's neither of those and it's just a random quirk of nature.
I'm not claiming to know the exact origin, but I do believe that God is sovereign over all of His creation. And nothing happens apart from His predetermined will.
So even if it was created by someone will evil intentions, God still uses evil to accomplish His good purpose. I found this very hard to accept, until I realized that I was trying to conform God to my own image.
I can't think of the Bible passages right now, which say that God has only revealed a very limited amount about Himself to us at this time. But He will reveal a lot more in eternity so as hard as it is, we just have to keep trusting in Him.
That's not Paul talking... That's a person who's opposing Paul talking. So by using that verse you're actually arguing against Paul, who then says "who are you to talk back to God?" Confirming that we do have the free will to do so.“Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?” Romans 9:19 (KJV 1900)

You are learning how to spell—very good! Now, care to explain how what you wrote in post 186 relates to you claim that it is God who sends pandemics and disasters?encased?
Give a precise quote so I know what I'm answering.You are learning how to spell—very good! Now, care to explain how what you wrote in post 186 relates to you claim that it is God who sends pandemics and disasters?
“So one of you will ask me: “Then why does God blame us for our sins? Who can fight his will?” You are only human, and human beings have no right to question God. An object should not ask the person who made it, “Why did you make me like this?” The potter can make anything he wants to make. He can use the same clay to make one thing for special use and another thing for daily use.” Romans 9:19–21 (EXPNT)Wow, really? You need to study your Bible, dude.
"One of you will say to me"
One of you, not Paul.
I provided you with the post number. You can look it up.Give a precise quote so I know what I'm answering.
I won't answer blindly. Present it.I provided you with the post number. You can look it up.
It's about God using Israel's rebellion to bring the gospel to the gentiles.“So one of you will ask me: “Then why does God blame us for our sins? Who can fight his will?” You are only human, and human beings have no right to question God. An object should not ask the person who made it, “Why did you make me like this?” The potter can make anything he wants to make. He can use the same clay to make one thing for special use and another thing for daily use.” Romans 9:19–21 (EXPNT)
Paul quotes it as his position on the subject.
It's about God electing some to salvation and electing the rest to damnation.It's about God using Israel's rebellion to bring the gospel to the gentiles.
Yes, God has that right. Paul says the person asking why God used his rebellion still blames him, and Paul says that person is talking back to God.
How can a person talk back the God, if, as you claim, God plans and causes his every thought?
That's about election to a certain job. And you're totally avoiding my questions.It's about God electing some to salvation and electing the rest to damnation.
“(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth” Romans 9:11 (KJV 1900)
