Admin	Just HOW MUCH control does God have over everything? Posted : 13 May, 2010 05:33 PM Just HOW MUCH control or Sovereignty does God have over everything that He has made? God is Sovereign Exo 15:18; 1Chr 29:11-12; 2Chr 20:6; Psa 22:28 1. He exercises that sovereignty in actively ordaining everything Deu 32:39; 1Sam 2:6-8; Job 9:12; Job 12:6-10; Psa 33:11; Psa 115:3; Psa 135:6; Isa 14:24; Isa 45:7; Act 15:18; Eph 1:11 * Including matters of �chance� * Pro 16:33; 1Ki 22:20, 34, 37 The wicked actions of men * Gen 45:5; Gen 50:20; Exo 4:21; Jdg 14:1-4; Psa 76:10; Pro 16:4; Isa 44:28; Amos 3:6; Act 2:22-23; Act 4:27-28 The actions of evil spirits * 1Sam 16:14-16; 1Ki 22:19-23; 1Chr 21:1/2Sam 24:1 The good actions of men * John 15:16; Eph 2:10; Phi 2:12-13 The actions of good angels * Psa 103:20; Psa 104:4 The actions of animals * Num 22:28; 1Ki 17:4; Psa 29:9; Jer 8:7; Eze 32:4; Dan 6:22 The operations of all creation Gen 8:22; Psa 104:5-10; Psa 104:13-14; Psa 104:19-20; Mark 4:39 Man is not permitted to question his sovereign acts 2.

His peculiar people, Israel Exo 6:7; Deu 7:6-8; Deu 10:14-15; Psa 33:12; Isa 43:20-21 3. Individuals to salvation 4.

His foreknowledge Rom 8:29; 1Pet 1:2 * Which means his special love * Jer 1:5; Amos 3:2; Mat 7:22-23; 1Cor 8:3; 2Tim 2:19; 1Pet 1:20 But not: * Any good [nobility, wisdom, power, choice, seeking] he foresees in anyone Deu 7:7; Rom 9:11-13; Rom 9:16; Rom 10:20; 1Cor 1:27-29; 1Cor 4:7; 2Tim 1:9 We can see from these verses that God is UTTERLY sovereign over every tiny particle of the universe, and that includes the Salvation of every Christian.

I am not fluent in emoticonese, so I have no idea what they are saying. Can anyone translate? Sola Fide, Sola Scriptura, James Post Reply

Posted : 17 May, 2010 11:15 PM Well...I was telling the previous poster to "rock on"(translation: right on dude), and I believe Manny was sticking his tongue out at me and either referring to himself or myself as a dumb demon. I'm confused about the greek emoticon he used here so I need to check my interpretations to be sure I'm not misinterpreting it with the wrong definition. I'm %99.9 positive he was referring to himself though...considering previous context:winksmile::ROFL::nahnah:(just kidding bro-man) :peace::peace: Post Reply

Posted : 17 May, 2010 11:29 PM In rightly dividing the word of Truth, again the word of God triumphs: 1st Cor 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. We know death has not yet been put down, nor will it be as we are on the earth, and until then Satan is still God of this world, and the Body of Christ is to be in Dominion over Satan, that means you have to deal with Satan, not the lord.

Posted : 18 May, 2010 04:58 PM My bible tells me that when Jesus died he went to hell and took the keys of death back.Thus is what he died on the cross for, Right?????? I know this to be true. In the old testament before grace satan had the keys to death. Now Jesus has them. he saves us by salvation. Thus jesus is the King of this world, (god) For me to say any different I believe would call god a liar.This I can not and will not do. Jesus took it all back. Just read all 4 accounts of the crucfixion in the gospel or the first few chapters in acts, Jesus is the redeemer. dennis :glow::dancingp::laugh: Post Reply
