Bible Study God Is In Control

white hamster said:
The Bible is full of prophecy. That which God spake to the patriarchs so they would deliver it unto the people. And that which God ordered to be copied down, or inspired so that it became what we today call, God's word.
Not to forget the Book of Daniel and Revelation.

Do not go beyond what is written
(1 Corinthians 4:6)


Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

You propose that God is in control. Yes, he is. Scripture tells us so. And predetermination scriptures tell us how that happens to be the case. This isn't a new doctrine. There are plenty of scriptures that tell of God having predestined, predetermined, the world and all that transpires.

And that the Bible is about 1/3 prophecy delivered from God, that reiterates the fact.

I trust you you see the red highlighted text, your text, having nothing to do with the OP nor to do with my question. ¿And then your answer, what to say about that? That reply is just that, a reply. It has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.

Could you please try to remain on topic and answer questions, please.

Thanks so much.

God is in control. Those scriptures that outline God's decree that he has predestined and predetermined all things in the world, thereby demonstrating his control and by what method, is on topic.

Thanks.

WH,

I, actually, saw this coming from your first post in this string but unlike ¿yourself? I did not want this to go where you have just driven the discussion. Now, I ask one more time, "With scripture and your interpretation and your Life Application, teach us what you are talking about and how you believe it applies to the OP."

Please, present your case with gentleness, as instructed by the Master.

No Reba, I did not go off on her. That surprised me also. I have been praying for our LORD to get those kinks out of me and He is working on it. PRAISE GOD!

I think God knows all things from the beginning to the end.

Please explain your interpretation of Jeremiah 19:5. I don't see where it says anything about God knowing all things past and future?

God is all knowing.God is God.Why wouldn't God know everything?I guess we all see scripture differently.If you do not see what I see then :shrug[/QUOTE]

I agree that God knows all things.

But I don't see where it says that in These verses....
KJV
Jer 19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
Jer 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

Could you please respond and make bold the words in either verse where God says He knows everything? Thanks

You have lost me.Did I say that specifically these words dealt with God knowing everything?

They beat me to it:

God is omniscent which means He knows everything 1 John 3:20

I would only add that God is also omnipresent, so that he is everywhere eternally. It is impossible for God to be unaware of anything within his creation when all things exist due to his having created it.
Jeremiah 23:24
Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.

Well, I thought so...post #15 the very last sentence?

God Is In Control

You said, "Jeremiah 19:5 tells me that God can know all things in the past and the future."

That passage is simply saying that the worshipers of Baal turned from God and burned their children in sacrifice. Something God did not tell them to do, nor did it cross his mind to command such.

Commentary Matthew Henry Jeremiah 19: 1-9
"....It was Manasseh’s sin (2 Kgs. 24:4), which the Lord would not pardon. Nay, as if idolatry and murder, committed separately, were not bad enough and affront enough to God and man, they have put them together, have consolidated them into one complicated crime, that of burning their children in the fire to Baal (Jer. 19:5), which was the most insolent defiance to all the laws both of natural and revealed religion that ever mankind was guilty of; and by it they openly declared that they loved their new gods better than ever they loved the true God, though they were such cruel task-masters that they required human sacrifices (inhuman I should call them), which the Lord Jehovah, whose all lives and souls are, never demanded from his worshippers; he never spoke of such a thing, nor came it into his mind. See Jer. 7:31.

Great thread Bill.. I'd like to add this..

Psalm 46:7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
