Does God know the future?

[Agape4Robin]

At this point you start getting really embarrassed for them.

I know what you mean.

I NEVER blamed God...........

Oh good...so you finally agree that He didn't predestine it!! :up:

 

[drbrumley]

Obviously God allowed it. But the fault is with the men who acted on their hateful lust for vengence against "infidels". Yet God remains in control. He is still on the throne. One day we will understand His purpose.

God is in control, but yet He allowed the murder of 3000 plus people?

 

[Agape4Robin]

Did God allow 911? Or orchestrate 911?

Was there any part of 911 that wasn't part of God's ordination?

Go back and read what I wrote...... :readthis:

 

[DEVO]

I NEVER blamed God...........

:hammer: who is to blame then?

And remember you already agreed with . . .

Freewill is simply something humans make up to make themselves feel like they are in control. But, in all reality, it doesn't exist. You have no control over your life whatsoever.

 

[drbrumley]

Bingo, Devo.

 

[Agape4Robin]

People die every day......the statistics show that 10 out of 10 people will die, how they die is a minor detail. For the believer, it's a one way ticket home.

I NEVER blamed God...........

So... you don't blame God but yet you thank Him for the event shaping your life?

And another thing.........all events in my life have shaped me so that I may be who I am today. To God be the glory!

Why would you give God glory for something you credit to someone else?

You're sick, Robin!!

"Though He slay me, I will trust Him."

There goes Z Man again, denouncing free will while acting exactly as though it exists.

Freewill is simply something humans make up to make themselves feel like they are in control. But, in all reality, it doesn't exist. You have no control over your life whatsoever.

If humans have no free will, how did they "make up" the concept? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that God made it appear that humans invented the concept of free will? Or better yet that God made it so Z Man would think that the concept of free will seemed to be invented by men?


:dizzy:

You're sick, Robin!!

Why is that sick?

So 911 was ordinary eh?

Robin, I really feel sorry for you. You are embarrassing yourself.

Because of your theology you can't string together a single paragraph or a couple of posts that resemble anything rational.

I agree, but you go one step further and in a nutshell say God predetermed how they would die. At the hands of a child molester or serial killer.Or just natural causes.

In essense you are saying murder is good because it's just another way of dying sending the believer "home", correct?

No, not ordinary. It was a brutal attack by religious zealots. It has unfortunately shaken the faith of the people that their government could protect them. But for a moment, people returned to church in search for comfort from the One they had forgotten.....God.

I believe God knows the moment of our birth and our death....what's the big deal?

So on balance, was 911 was a good thing or a bad thing?

Murder is never "good". Death is not good, that's why Christ came.
