    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Again, Satan could not do anything without God’s approval. Plus, it is written in Job: “And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” (Job 1:21). In addition, Isaiah 45:7 says: “I...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    @Behold Revelation 13:8 “…the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” 1 Peter 1:18-20 “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    It was evil (Satan) that entered Judas. It was evil for Satan to make Judas betray Jesus. It was evil that their was an unjust trial for Jesus. It was evil that the Roman soldiers beat and whipped Jesus and mocked Him. It was evil of the Jews and Romans to have Jesus crucified unjustly. Yet...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    No. That’s what you are implying because you said that car wreck was evil. Yet, God permitted Job’s sons to be taken away, and for his health to fail, and his wealth to be gone. This was ultimately God’s call for these things to happen to Job. Satan could not do anything to Job without God’s...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    What you don’t understand that it pleased the Lord to crush the Son. God rebuked Job when Job cracked in his test of faith. Job said he spoken words without knowledge and He did not know how powerful and great God truly was over all things. Your view makes it appear like evil should not have...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    @Behold Isaiah 53:10 “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.” Note: While I may like this song of worship...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Is God more concerned for our spiritual well being or our physical well being? I believe that even the car wreck (GOD forbid it happens to anyone here), is something that can work for good in a Christian’s life spiritually. This life is not our home. We are pilgrims just passing through in a...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    In Adam all died, in Christ all should be made alive. Jesus is called the Last Adam. So why is Jesus compared to Adam? Do you know that the Messiah was prophesied in Genesis 3 when the Fall happened?

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    YOU say that the GOOD would have been no evil at all. Again, this sounds to me like you are implying GOD is not good or that He does not know what He is doing when He permitted evil to exist in our universe. God’s ways are always perfect. Do you believe GOD makes mistakes? Is GOD sovereign...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    You implied before that I believe that we should do evil that good may come. But you took what I said out of context.

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    I am not saying that it is good that evil exists. But evil does not exist without the absence of GOD or His goodness. What I am saying that GOD definitely had a purpose or plan in using evil for a greater plan for good. You cannot argue that God did not permit evil to happen. So the question...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Yes, you have taken out of context to what I said because nowhere did I say that: (a) God wanted anyone to sin or that God condones sin or that God wanted the fall to happen. (b) I believe that we should do bad things in life so we can appreciate the good way (or good choices in life). I did...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    You said there is no purpose in evil happening. Yet, GOD definitely has power to stop any kind of sin from existing in our universe. So GOD allowing sin to exist in His universe definitely was a part of His plans in men being forgiven by the cross in the future. For example: Do you not know...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    So you are an infallible human being who cannot take people’s words out of context? Yeah, okay. I don’t believe you because you are twisting my words out of context to mean something that I did not intend. Pop quiz: Did anyone ever tell you this before? Can you read people’s thoughts? Anyways...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Okay. You gotta stop telling me what I believe. I know what I believe. You are merely guessing as to what I believe because you have not taken the time to truly listen or to ask questions. You have twisted what I said around to mean something else. I mean, have you ever had somebody...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Nowhere am I suggesting that we as believers do evil so that good may come. But God had a plan in the existence of evil and you should know that God did have the power to prevent evil from existing in our universe. So God permitting evil in our universe was obviously a part of His greater plan...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    I said, I quote: “But we must walk by faith in what God’s Word says and not follow the dark, and evil ways of this world or those in the church who would have us believe that we can do evil so that good may come.” ~ Bible Highlighter. Notice carefully my words. I was saying those in the...

    Guilty of the Law

    This is a common misconception by many Christians today. James was talking about the Royal Law of Love in loving your neighbor (Which is a New Covenant Law) (James 2:8); For loving one another is the New Covenant way (Romans 13:8-10). So if you break the Royal Law of Love, you are guilty of...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    The army and police are not going to cease to exist if you follow Jesus and His non-violent ways. Let the world deal with itself. We are merely pilgrims passing through a strange land. The Lord our God has given us orders and they may not always make sense to us, but when we believe and obey...

    Again, I would encourage folks here to watch the Christian movie called, “Polycarp.” Watch Polycarp | Prime Video
