when GOD created the first man, HE already knew the first man would disobey....Do you mean that God when He created people, did not know that he would have to wipe them out in a Flood?
when GOD created the first man, HE already knew the first man would disobey....
And GOD who already foreknew mankind´s fall...more importantly knew that HE would send the ONLY WAY back for mankind....from the beginning.
HE already knew that there would be those who would listen to those who preach salvation and flee to a refuge which HE provided...and that there would be those who won´t.Do you mean that He already knew He would be wiping everyone out with a Flood before He created the first man?
HE already knew that there would be those who would listen to those who preach salvation and flee to a refuge which HE provided...and that there would be those who won´t.
HE did promise never to destroy the earth by a flood again, though...
The earth is reserved for something else...but not a flood by water....
ximmix,
Have you ever read GOD´s command to Adam?
If you reread it, you will see, in that command, GOD already foreknew a day when ¨Adam/man¨ would disobey...
GOD didn´t just say do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil...
HE said in the day you eat of it...
In...the day....you eat of it.
Showing that GOD already knew there would be that day...
Christians don´t ignore it...what is the issue for you that you can´t reconcile within yourself?Well, if God is all knowing He must have known of course, He knows everything. I just find it funny that Christians tend to ignore that fact when it's convenient.
Are you angry with GOD in something that you feel HE has not done for mankind?Do you mean that He already knew He would be wiping everyone out with a Flood before He created the first man?
Christians don´t ignore it...what is the issue for you that you can´t reconcile within yourself?
Oh it most certainly does.Just that Christians usually ignore the fact that according to the Bible God is all knowing.
Take the story of God testing Abraham for example. That story makes no sense if God already knew everything beforehand. If He already knew, why the test?
Oh it most certainly does.
Again, GOD knows our limited humanity...and in this story, GOD prophecied that HIS CHOSEN son would be the only acceptable offering before HIM..
Abraham may not have understood what he was called to do at that moment when GOD said, take your only son, *who was the promised son which would prolong Abraham´s seed, and sacrifice him...
But I tell you, Abraham most certainly knows now...and he, like all the other prophets understand that what they did not fully understand when they prophecied, was in service to those who, when the fullness of time would come, and the ONE prepared from the beginning, HIS SON, would come forth to do the will and work of THE FATHER, would look back and bring to mind and understand that all along GOD spoke of HIS SON.
For the very TESTIMONY of JESUS...IS....THE SPIRIT of PROPHECY...
Abraham´s call to sacrifice his son, was simply a reenactment of THE PROMISED SON...
GOD´S PROMISED SON...
for the prolonged seed is not through Abraham..but through CHRIST...
please...I don´t believe you know what you are saying...it was to show mankind that the PROMISE was to come through HIS SON...Do you mean that it wasn't a test, but to teach Abraham a lesson? Hmm, that's not really how it is described in the Bible is it?
Certainly is...Galatians 3Is there Scripture to support that thought?
please...I don´t believe you know what you are saying...it was to show mankind that the PROMISE was to come through HIS SON...
It was to show those who would read the WORD and understand the TESTIMONY that all along GOD pointed to HIS SON...
Abraham was a faithful servant,and if you want to remain steadfast in what you have already suggested in that GOD foreknows everything...then you should understand that GOD already foreknew that Abraham would be faithful.
But, of course you forget that GOD did reach a hand in and stopped Abraham from harming the child
What Abraham was called to do was in service to that generation who would benefit by CHRIST´S coming into the world, who would believe and who, by THE SPIRIT, would be led to all truth.
And the TRUTH is that the WORD of GOD is a TESTIMONY of JESUS
