I’m just trying to be clear.

I am not sure I’m understanding what you are trying to convey?

So God doesn’t do things like we do, his ways are different than ours and we’ll understand at the end of time? Correct? I don’t know if I’m explaining what I’m trying to say the right way or not.

Ok. So God doesn’t do things we do, his rules are different than ours and we’ll understand at the end of time?

Yes.

Yes. As Paul said we see through a mirror darkly here. We follow Faith. Faith does not answer every question we have. We can pray for peace, understanding, etc. but we are not going to know everything here. The last link explains the mysteries of Faith. It is just part of it. I realize that these mysteries can be frustrating when we want answers but we do follow Faith in the end. It comes down to trust and we all struggle with that at times.

 

[FaithT]

Yes.

Ok thanks

More mysteries from Scripture that get to me.

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

John 21:25

 

[Michie]

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”

Matthew 27:50-54

 

[Michie]

When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

Genesis 6: 1-4

I love that Scripture.
