KJV Bible study - Proverbs 17

[LivingRightInWrongWorld]

Greetings!

I would really like to have some Bible study with people reading the KJV Bible. Share some research, learn new stuff and talk about current events taking place in the world and being a Christian in 2017.

If anyone is interested, leave a message.

May God bless you all in the name of Jesus Christ!

Hi; I love 1 Thess. 4. Good to keep the Lord's coming in clear view, rather than get bogged down in the minutiae of future events.

Amen, brother! I cannot wait for our Lord Jesus to return, I will cry my heart out when I hear those trumpets! Amen and amen! Do you think that Paul believed Jesus will return in his lifetime? When he said : 1Th 4:17 : "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

Well, I don't know; but the truth of it remains!

In Acts Paul seemed very interested in what might happen in the temple after he brought an offering; it seems that these events might have been linked in his mind with what will happen after the church has gone, rather than being directly linked with the church.

It doesn't matter, whole scripture is to be studied so we have a lot work to do, haha! So start something off let Holy Spirit guide us through it!

I have a question, Omniscience ( all knowing) and the free will of humanity are incompatible and any concept of God that incorporates both properties is therefore inherently contradictory: if God is omniscient, then God already knows humanity's future, contradicting the claim of free will.

Today I started to read Proverbs, so I guess Proverbs it is!

Hello James, it is written that God arranged to send His only begotten Son as Savior since before the foundation of the world.

It is true what is written, that His thoughts are not as ours.

He is infinite. We are finite.

It's a good study, though.

God is all knowing, we are not, James. That is why in 1 Timothy 3:16 we read : "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."

Some things we as simple humans will never understand and it is not meant for us to understand everything. We are limited to reality of this world and it is hard to comprehend such a mistery as the mistery of all knowing God.

Do I understand it 100%? No. Do I believe it? Yes.

Even Jesus said in John 3:12 : "If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?"

God bless you James, in Jesus name, welcome to the forum!

My thoughts are not your thoughts either, the question remains un answered.

Why should God be shrouded in mystery....arent we to know him?

 

[James1971]

If thats the case then God knew Adam and Eve would take of the tree...why then would He put it there and then hold them responsible?

I was speaking of God's thoughts vs ours, as it is written:

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." ~Isaiah 55:8-9

They were responsible for obeying what God commanded them not to do.

Yes, God knew. That is why He provided a Savior, and that is because of his mercy and grace.

 

[James1971]

How does one believe in something they dont understand.... He knew they would be disobedient so it makes absolutely no sense...so were to believe something that doesnt make sense? I mean God wouldnt even need to go through all that...just dont put the tree there...much like you would do with a child you knew was going to touch the knife on the counter, dont put it there, gotta have some rational logic here. He does say to prove all things, right?

 

[James1971]

How can one properly worship a God thats shrouded in mystery and not understood. Or do we go by the status quoa, because thats what were told without any proof or reasoning, thats not faith to me.

As it is written...how do you even know what is written is even true, have you proven it to youself, thought for yourself, reasoned for yourself?
