Hi Olive,
Just my opinion, but sometimes when you are eating fruit you have to spit out the seeds. In other words, everyone has something to contribute. I have to tell you, that I find humor sometimes in the way Nick and WJ go at it. And they are teaching one another because God's word does not go out and return void. As I observe their arguments, I am also learning. Whenever you debate (aka “attack”) others views, you are going to have an unsettling feeling. Things may even get personal in the debate. I know that for me, when I first joined, I thought that WJ was going to eat me for his dinner! I called him on several points of his attack on me. And do you know what he said? He said, “Lighten up, you're starting to remind me of me!” In other words….we are all just open hearts wanting approval and acceptance. Everyone is also very passionate about their God.Don't take anything personal, just use this opportunity to learn from others and to share the truth that you know. I got my eye on you girl!
What truth do you know?Notthreeinone,
Keeping looking w/ that eye of yours………..okay chick.
Thanks for sharing.
Blessings and love.
Will do, Olive!

Another question, Eph 1:11. “God is operating ALL according to the council of His will.” We don't really believe this scripture, do we?
Blessings.
Hi CO,
God is so “gentlemanly”, fair and tolerant he met and spoke politely with His great enemy and allowed him to tempt Job[1-2].Hi CO,
God has several expressions of His will.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.Quote (chosenone @ May 21 2007,07:29) Another question, Eph 1:11. “God is operating ALL according to the council of His will.” We don't really believe this scripture, do we? Blessings.
Hi Nick.
So back to Eph.1-11, you don't believe this scripture, do you?Blessings.
Hi CO,
Yes.
God is purifying all creation.
God is allowing men to choose between good and evil.Psalm 37:27
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
Isaiah 7:15
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Amos 5:14
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
Psalm 34:14
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.Hi NIck.
If God is allowing men to choose, then it is their will that they do, not Gods will. So this scripture is wrong according to your reasoning. So, this scripture is incorrect?Blessings.
Hi Nick.
So if “God wills all mankind to be saved” then are you saying that His will is being done if this is not true? Quite a contradiction, no?Blessings.
Hi Chosenone:
Jos 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.Rev. 9:20
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
9:21
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.Hi CO,
Jesus prayed in the garden in Lk 22 that God's will be done.42Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
Was this unnecessary?
