I am reminded of Moses who didn't have confidence in his speech, David who was tiny compared to Goliath, Abraham who passed his wife off as his sister - and so on.
Of all of them, Paul was the least likely (from a human's viewpoint) to become an apostle having persecuted the believers relentlessly.
And yet God used them all - and He uses every one of us, too.
p.s. This is another case of the observer problem. We mortals look at the back of a wristwatch and see everything working against itself. God looks at the front, where it is keeping perfect time.
Exactly.. Same with the RCC sect and the Protestant sects.. and even the psuedo christian and jewish sects, and even stranger sects and cults.... We are where we all are supposed to be.. Sheep Pens(John ch 10) there are also Goat pens as I see it.. following that metaphor..
One Church, Body of Christ, and Bride of Christ, multiple sheep and goat pens.. Everything is just as it should be.. Jesus opened the door to the sheep pen we can leave or not.. Obviously some like to be penned up.. God bless them anyway..
What a plan..
Is God(Father, Son, Holy Spirit) COOL or WHAT?..
LOL, see my post just above (which I did not ping you to, just as you did not ping me to this one)! Totally LOL.
