I do agree with you Jesus is the word...so yeah, sorry to all if I made it sound like just a bunch of words on paper...lol
I also agree that God is sovereign. He is God and there is none other and he does as he pleases. He is in control and he is the one that set this thing up like it is.
The scripture says, in Isaiah 46:9-10
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
The scripture also says, God wants all men to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4) and it is not his will that any should perish but that all will come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
Now we know that God could do that easily, so there has to be a reason that it won’t be done. That reason is because he gives us the choice to accept him or not. There in, comes the “IF” condition.
He gives us the choice. That is His plan and how he set it up. Who am I to question Him?
Now this is how I see it, and this is probably where we are going to disagree.
Just want to say I do like the discussion that is going on here, well what I've read so far...I'm a little busy today.
