This post grabbed my attention a few days ago, and I have been wanting to reply, but I felt it immodest to use my own many personal experiences where good has come out of evil, though if I do boast, I boast of our Abba.

This morning in my Hebrew study, reading in Jeremiah, I have a quote that is directly from our Maker demonstrating the reply to your question. See here:

2: 19
Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that [it is] an evil [thing] and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear [is] not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Our Father accepts gladly when a person repents of evil ways to do good, and He gives all "time to repent." Just as He gave Jezebel but she would not, He gives all time to reprent.
 

Deuteronomy 23
5
Nevertheless the Lord thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the Lord thy God loved thee.

Romans 8

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
 
It seems to me that how God makes good come from evil is done supernaturally, and it is personal. My experience, for an example: I got sick and had to go to bed, it was an evil thing to happen. I couldn't work, but I could study. My time was used to grow in knowledge of the Lord. My daughter lost her home. That was the reason they moved to a place where life was better for them, they grew in the Lord.

We each have a choice when evil happens to us. If we are one of God's chosen ones, we follow Him and in some way that evil that happened is used by God to produce good for us. We can choose to not follow him. If someone causes something evil to happen we can choose to use it to be resentful, angry and unforgiving or we can choose to follow God and grow from it. It is our choice, but if we choose God's way, whatever it is that happened we can use it for good.

According to Christian belief,the death of Jesus christ brought salvation yet i fail to understand a key concept.If the original sin that is present in every human because of eating an apple then imagine how horrible it would be to kill god's only begotten son.I mean there is no more horrible sin then that in my opinion and yet Christians find salvation from this concept please explain why because I'm sure the Jews at the time killed Jesus for blasphemy not for salvation so please explain why no malice intended

You're right, the Jews killed the man to whom the name Jesus (one of the names of God) was given by God for blasphemy and not for salvation. If we are to go through the pages of the bible, we would be able to know that the Lord Jesus told then the Jews that for them to have life or eternal life, they have to come to Him since life is in Him, but the Jews seeing him as a mere man accused him of blasphemy against God, him being man equated himself to God thus the death in the cross.

What is alien to the Jews then is the fact that the Lord God whose names are Jesus, the Mighty God, the Immanuel, the Eternal Father, etc. did come in the flesh (incarnate) and that man born out of the womb of Mary was only a vessel of His incarnation whose purpose is to let the people know that God was then reaching out to them and inviting them all to come to the Lord God so that the Lord God may teach them the right way to their salvation contrary to what people think that they have life in the scriptures. The Lord God wanted to tell the people through that man born out of the womb of Mary that mankind's salvation is the Lord God himself thus the need for all to come and learn from God, simple message from God that will lead us all to discovering the way to our salvation.

I agree when the father aka god says repent He will forgive any sin BUT the question here is would you save jesus if he was dying whynot ? because he would be dying for ur sins ? imagine the only so called begotten son of god being murdered

Jesus said the father is greater than i . Which means if the father = god then jesus cannot equal god because the father and jesus are not equals true ?
 
You do know that Jesus, Yeshua, was here to demonstrate the value of obedience to the Father.

He was in the flesh. Though He is God, He disregarded His supremecy in order to show His perfect love for each of us.

He is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit according to the prophets of Yahweh. I do not claim to have implicit understanding of this, but my faith tells me this is true because our Father does not lie. He is good all of the time.

you said you dont have expicit understand of this right because its a confusing concept true ? But u believe in the word of the holy bible yes ?
 
what do you believe the bible or the Quran please make up your mind
Hey where does the bible use trinity ? I believe both are revelations of god but the quran is for my time because propet muhammad(saw) is the final messanger so the final book is for the rest of mankind while the GOSPEL was for the house of israel.Find the word trinity for me in the bible
 
At least you ask. No, it is not confusing to the faithful. Isaiah 9 and other references state the Child to be born to mankind would be called, among other appellations, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, Wonderful, Counselor, and more.

These are the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I believe the Word, I believe Yeshua, Jesus.

Of course He was less than the Father for a time in order to fulfill the "mission" He took on, Himself. You, and I mean YOU, must have faith in order to believe anything; also without faith your questioning is moot. Yahweh bless you and show you the way, amen.
