Just a note to regular readers. This piece was for the general public, so it’s light on details. I sent it out to some friends and sites for circulation. Hearkens back to our old predestination and free will discussions. Hope it does some good.
Note on the “God and Haiti” Post
It blessed me!
@Lisa:
thanks!
i had a conversation with my coworker regarding your post… she believes that God does predestine ALL things…good and bad…. i quoted you on the difference between foreknowledge and predestiny.. however she had trouble comprehending it (it seemed that way)…but.. her opinion reminded me of a verse in Job 2:10
Job 2
6 The LORD said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. 8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!”
10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish [b] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”
what is your opinion on this? thanks..
