God is not a failure

[MatthewG]

God created all human beings, and knows and knew everything before it was created.


He knew who would pick him, and would not.


He gave his only Son, who take care of everything that was in separation from God.


Satan and his demons, death, the grave, Sheol, sin.


He allows all to have free will, and he does love people.


He allows people to respond to him, or not.


He gives people what they want, if they desire light he will provide light, if they desire darkness, God will provide that for them by them not being near to God.


God desires for all to come to the knowledge of the truth of his Son and the written Gospel.


God desires to have communication with his creation.


God has made the provision, in allowing everything to be reconciled back to himself because of the Lord Jesus Christ.


From the ending of the Bible you can see people inside the kingdom and those outside, and the Spirit and the bride say come to be provided with water freely.

All people now are free to either respond to God and seek after him and his son, or not.

We are still part of this world in which we die, and disease and things like this tear us down, and people have their own choices of what they will do with their individual life as well.


God bless,

Matthew Gallagher

There is no reason to believe God is a failure. Some would like to believe that he is, and use that an excuse to disobey him.

 

[MatthewG]

It’s important to remember and learn and grow and stand on the solid foundation, of Christ my friend, and to encourage others to read the Bible and Continue to have Hope brother.

The God of the Bible is PERFECT. He is 100% Just in whatever He does and is not accountable to anyone. He is a THE Sovereign and has no equal. This is true of the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Three Persons in One Godhead, Who are eternally coequal.

 

[MatthewG]

Cool, thank you so much for sharing your viewpoint, bygracethroughfaith, my friend.

God is not a failure.

God created all human beings, and knows and knew everything before it was created.

I understand that to be the accepted doctrine, but it's really not that simple.

Gen 22:11-12,

11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here [am] I.

12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me.
​

God didn't know for sure what Abraham would do until he actually did it.

Deut 8:2,

And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.​

God didn't know what was in their hearts until he kept them in the desert for 40 years.

Gen 6:6,

And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
​

Why did God create something He knew He'd later regret? He created man with the hope that all men would obey Him, but He had no way of knowing who would do what ahead of time. He might have had an idea what some individual would do based on their past behavior, but He never knows for sure what that individual would actually do in a particular situation,

The beauty of God's plan, the "logos" of John 1:1 is that He had to work with fallible human beings to accomplish His ultimate plan of redemption. It would have been like herding a million cats across the desert with a million hungry coyotes in hot pursuit. Given the free will he gave to man, He wouldn't know for sure what any one individual would do until they actually did it. I have no idea how He kept it all together, but He did. Yea!

God certainly knows the end Goal, a new heaven and new earth, but He doesn't know for sure the exact road to get there. That's because He has to work with humans. Otherwise one might wonder why He didn't just come down right after Adam and Eve sinned to make things right again. Why did He wait 4,000 years while all mankind suffered greatly? It's because He had to wait for some woman to say, "Be it done unto me according to thy word." It's not just any woman who would believe to birth the savior without human intercourse. It'd have been a tall order to believe such a thing. It's a miracle it only took 4,000 years!
