can anyone misinterpret this plainly stated word by our living God who created all things good and bad for His pleasure?The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Please quit disputing the power of our God. This is quite simply stated so that no one needs to question the power or authority of our living God. He is most definitely in control of all powers that be. And He uses them at His will, He created them exactly as He wanted them to be to this end. If the very words above that state I the LORD do not convince you then this sums it up as well:For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: If you tell me that God has things any other way than He would have them for the moment then you deny the power of God. Then unfortunately you have become one who has gone astray:Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. It seems when God speaks people can never just take what He says at face value and they have to pick it apart until it becomes hollow and means nothing because no one can ever shut up at the Word and just let It speak for Itself. It's like the backtalk of children. This Word is so simple a child can understand it and in fact many have in times past.Oh no! They try to say people shouldn't trust the awesome might of God to get His Word to us just as He means it too. Nooohhh! Apparently there are those who deny His power and claim His Word weak and given to fault, that is calling God weak! Man did not send Word of God, God sent us His own through men and this same Word that will judge us is perfect and when you wring and twist it to fit your narrow views instead of letting it teach you you rob it of it's power, and that very Word will be plain to you on judgment day so why not here it now. The Biblical Word is perfect it says what it means and it means what it says and if you can't understand it pray for wisdom or let some one with understanding teach you. God in no way sent us one idle or misleading word. NO WAY! He would not have allowed it. Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.C'mon this is simple stuff. How in the world do you ever expect to finish the race? I mean you can't get past this simplicity. I hate to keep pulling this out but:As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. And here again you should beware because you may be headed this way if you still can't get this:Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. And if you never do that you go to hell.
