“He can only keep trying to show us the right way desiring all will use their free will to chose salvation, not through a Church, but through His Son.”
“God can do nothing to stop what we do, right or wrong. He also cannot stop what Satan does.”
What a poor pathetic god you worship Bob!
This is my God, the God of the Bible.
Job 23:13 - “He is unchangeable, and who can turn him back? What he desire, that he does.”
Job 42:1 - “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.”
Isaiah 14:27 - “For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?”
Isaiah 37:26 - “Have you not heard that I determined it long ago? I planned from days of old what now I bring to pass.”
Isaiah 43:13 “Also henceforth I am he; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?”
Isaiah 45:7 - “I create light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things.”
Isaiah 46:9-10 - “I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
The quotes of God omnipotence go on and on.
Bobsvainbabblings - that is a great screen name for you. You might try reading what God has to say about himself and stop the babbling.
I agree with all your posts about God’s omnipotence. It has nothing to do with what I have said.
Just as God gives rules for our lives, He has given rules to Himself He cannot violate. Our freewill is one of those rules.
Our lives are like a journey down a path. All along the path there are Ys. At the end of one of those paths at each Y is His Son. It is our free will to choose which path we take . If we choose the wrong path, he will put another Y in the path always giving us a choice of a path to His Son.
He cannot put His Son at the end of each path at a Y, it would no longer be our choice and He would violate our free will.
This is not a poor pathetic God. It is a righteous God, fair to all, supplying a path to His Son as long as we are alive. BVB
