GOD KNEW and KNOWS

If God knows something is going to happen, what are the odds that it will not happen?

Ah, now you question God's motives. Why does God not prevent any and all calamities?

Who is to say he doesn't cause them? I suspect that the calamities that befall us are all a part of God's eternal plan, don't you?

Why does God not ensure that every Christian lives a happy and joyous life and never doubts?

I don't believe that any Christian on earth gets to fall in that category. Why should all of them? Are you questioning God's motives?

I don't know -- do you?

The Bible says that Judas was chosen "that the prophecy might be fulfilled." I believe that. Do you?

Why did Jesus choose Peter or Andrew?

Certainly it wasn't because of anything they had done. It was simply part of his plan. Why did Jesus choose you?

Take it this way, as you read Stephen Hawkings -- there are multiple ways in which the future can be affected: say if Nicholas II had been a strong ruler like his grandfather, the Boshevik revolution would never have happened. etc. Do you think God can't see those myriad possibilities? And do you think that these little decisions affect God's overall plan?

So, you say that God caused the Tsunami in 2004? That He caused the Holocaust? That He caused the Killing Fields in Cambodia? I don't agree with that

I don't believe that any Christian on earth gets to fall in that category.

And yet you believe in the idea of an "elect"?

You asked why Jesus choose Judas. Well, why did He choose Peter?
