    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    I wasn't talking about salvation. I was talking about spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health and well being. But I agree with you. Relationship is essential. Correct theology naturally follows, then growth and maturity. If however, following from recent posts, our understanding of...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Yep, I'm aware. Starting with Adam and Eve in the garden. Genesis 3:15. God providing Himself a sacrifice for sin. Just as Abraham said to his Isaac on the way up the hill. And the entire sanctuary service pointed to that truth, ultimately found in Jesus.

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    Having a correct theology and understanding truth offers us spiritual maturity. But through our relationship with Him, God desires for us a wholeness of not just spiritual maturity, but also emotional and mental health, which in turn can radically improve even physical health. One however could...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    "Thy way O God is in the sanctuary." The OT sanctuary was the gospel to Israel. In the sanctuary is found all the aspects of God's process designed for our redemption. Sacrifice, Grace, Prayer, Spirit, Word, Truth, Mercy, and Law. The Hebrew penitent couldn't just drop the lamb off and walk...

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    Yes, you can, and you must. The promise is that God can, depending on our faith, accomplish in each one of us exceedingly more than we could possibly ask or think. That promise comes from a God who is exceedingly more wonderful, gracious, and merciful than we could possibly ask or think...

    What Is the strongest argument for atheism?

    Knowing a cogent logical biblical explanation for the very real suffering in the lives of those we love, and in the lives of those we don't know, is a good step in the right direction. We may not be able to adequately explain the reasons for every explicit occasion, but in general principles and...

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    And there we have it. Blame God. Right there is why we need to discuss theodicy. Why is there so much evil in the world. According to some, it's all God's fault. "God has come to steal, kill, and destroy, but I am come that you might have life, in all its abundance.".

    Rapture ... soon?

    Yep, apparently day after tomorrow, Australian time. So annoying. I'll miss the next Miami Dolphins game, and miss the rest of my term holidays.

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    I agree with you that the flesh, that is the carnal nature, is an enemy we must constantly battle against, in fact, it is said to be the greatest foe we will have to face. But our battle isn't against others. It's predominantly against ourselves. Yet behind and beyond the immediate apparent line...

    It's both. One uses the other.

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    Another question. That's all you've got?

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    Yep, there you go. Your interpretation of the above text is, "we fight not against flesh and blood, but against flesh and blood." And you don't see it.

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    That's a lie. I quoted several passages quoting Jesus and Paul. They both spoke of, and Jesus spoke directly to, Satan and demons. If that's not evidence enough for you then very deep and entrenched your deception is.

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    A late friend of mine, a neighbour, got to deeply involved in ancient religious and customary practices of her indigenous people. I visited one night and she tried to attack me but for her husband grappling with her on the floor to hold her back. She then spoke to me with a male voice with such...

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    I also could ask numerous questions, as could most people, regarding a plethora of topics and accuse you of being dumb or ignorant because you don't have all the answers. But the Bible doesn't tell us everything. Many questions remain unanswered that God in his wisdom has left deliberately...

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    Your language lesson on similes is impressive. Over the top however and utterly unnecessary. I know what a simile is. But thanks anyway. Thing is this. The text in question, Luke 10:18, likening Satan's fall to lightening, is exactly that. The simile applies to his speed of descent, not to Satan...

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    Two separate and distinct beings. You deny one, and you cannot discern outside your own thought paradigm. Accept the word of God as truth, and the situation explains itself. You don't go to the extreme of claiming Balaam's donkey was anything other than a donkey, because no other creature off...

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    They aren't enforcing doctrine... Yet. But the impetus at the moment is heading quickly in that direction. The Charlie Kirk assassination will only flame the fire. And the Republican party was during on free speech and constitutional rights. Now they've cancelled Jimmy Kimmel because they were...

    Why is ISLAM : Dedicated to destroying Israel?

    Why is ISLAM : Dedicated to destroying Israel? Because they are being manipulated, like many other nations, in doing Satan's bidding, although Satan doesn't a toss about Israel or any other nation. It's just convenient to have a centuries old feud to work with. . But the scenario you describe...

    Next question. You said, Actually, it does say exactly that. “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. ” Luke 10:18 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Luke.10.18 You claim Satan is non personal, but rather an idea or ideology or concept that opposes God's people...
