    Gods will vs mans free will

    The body of Jesus was begotten by God. Jesus always existed. Jesus is God. Jesus moved into the body prepared for him in the womb of Mary. That body was begotten by God the Father.

    The gospel was preached unto Abraham

    Gods will vs mans free will

    Here‘s another good example. God deciding not to do something that he said he would do. Repentance, change of direction. Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

    Nope, repentance does not have to involve sin. Repentance is a change of direction, a change of mind. Repentance is needed for salvation, but the word itself is not always connected with salvation.

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    That sounds admirable right now, but we're talking about the worse tribulation this world has even seen. For believers that would mean no food or water, no housing, no rights whatsoever. Plus, running from the authorities who are seeking to kill you by beheading.

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    Yes, for the body of Christ, the church. At the resurrection, the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. This catching up or seizing of the body of...

    The very first mention of the word repent is God repenting that he had made man on the earth. Genesis 6:6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
