    Why did God...

    I think its important you also know its impossible for God reputation to be tarred though man tries daily, he will never succeed. Don't be afraid of asking questions of God's motives - great wisdom resides there.

    Why did God...

    Okay, do you believe the timing of Christ revealing himself to Paul was random and without significance? Maybe you do? If you read your above statement again, are you suggesting God has no involvement these matters? I don't believe you think this for a minute, which is why I am asking you...

    What does it mean to "Count the Omer?" (Leviticus 23:10-17)

    Interesting insight Ben. Lev 23:9 The Lord spoke to Moses: 23:10 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When you enter the land that I am about to give to you and you gather in its harvest, THEN you must bring the sheaf of the first portion of your harvest to the priest, Lev 23:9–10. The...

    Why did God...

    At least you spoke to the question, that's a start. I never said "God wanted Stephen dead", that is your inference on the question being presented. I asked, why would God not bring about the conversion of Paul to save the likes of Stephen and others. If like me, you believe God's timing is...

    Why did God...

    Here is another dimension to this question. Acts 6:8 Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and miraculous signs among the people Why not allow Stephen to continue this good work? Maybe his death could have been avoided? Imagine the potential for even greater...

    Why did God...

    But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord Acts 9:1 Why did God not bring about his conversion earlier rather than allowing him to sentence so many to exile and death? F2F

    Did God forsake Jesus on the cross?

    God left His Son on the cross because Jesus must be “put to death in the flesh” 1 Pet 3:18, which means God's Spirit had to leave him alone to die. Yet another reason Jesus cannot be God. I like the reference in Psalm 22:3 to God being Holy and therefore cannot be involved in death...

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    Allow me to rephrase it for you. How was Christ made sin for us while being sinless? Try Romans 6:9 to start then we can move into more challenging text. Enjoy.

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    Profound quiet. Who is doing the striking in Mark 14 & Zech 13? Who was the shepherd? Why did He strike him? What did God achieve in smiting him? How do we know He achieved His Plan? F2F

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    For everyone else... Mark 14:27 is quoting Zec 13:7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate,” says the Lord who rules over all. Strike the shepherd that the flock may be scattered; I will turn my hand against the insignificant ones. Of course God is not...

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    Here, let me lead you into the Word and see if you are able to discern its meaning. Mark 14:27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. Who is doing the striking? Who was the shepherd? Why did He strike...

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    Why was it necessary for Jesus to be offered by God as a living sacrifice? For a Christian forum you all aren't doing that well.

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    It's Yahweh quiet, not Jehovah...no doubt you know the grammatical history...the how's and why's they got it wrong. Maybe you just have a habit of posting error and when something truthful is shown to you, you do what you have done above and in every post. Try allowing God's Word to...
