Brother Harold asks:
Is the power of God's love to accomplish His pleasure greater than man's opposition to it?


If you or I answer "yes," then all of the other questions we may have about God's ability to accomplish His purpose will have to go away and all of us give obedience to the Ultimate Truth. Be at peace in your mind/heart and rest in His Grace.

When you realize by the Grace of God that the lie you have fought so hard for so long is actually the truth you have sought your whole life; will you embrace it or will you turn away? The answer isn't an easy one to make. The cost is too much for some to bear.

There is life and peace in surrender. Be at peace my friends.

Ben. Of course I answer yes given my understanding of 'His pleasure' but what is your understanding of it?
 
My point, and the point of Brother Harold here is:
Either God has the inherent ability and the will to do as He has plainly stated, or He doesn't. Either He exercises dominion over His creation, or He created something He couldn't control.

The implications of God not having the inherent ability on the one hand, nor the dominion on the other are almost demonic.
