[quote:Dr Doom:MV85NjM4MDBfMTUwNjEzNjNfNUM3Q0E2RjA=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 825010] [b]That God is in complete control of His creation and God and God alone determines our fate is a Biblical teaching.[/b] ~ Where does it say that...? [/quote] To properly understand, one must read and understand the Bible in its entirely... but I will highlight a few examples. God hardened the heart of Pharaoh. God arranged for Babylon to conquer Jerusalem as a punishment for Israel's disobedience. When Babylon conquered Jerusalem, the Edomites destroyed God's temple. Why did God arrange that ? Because the Israelites had committed terrible abominations in the temple by allowing temple sodomites. When the Israelites tried to escape God's punishment [via Babylon] by fleeing to Egypt, God arranged for Babylon to conquer Egypt. God determines who rules the nations. Isaiah 45 tells us how God raised up Cyrus and prepared the way for him to conquer Babylon It was Cyrus who decreed the rebuilding of God's temple. [i][b]... the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will...[/b][/i] Daniel 4 This is why we are to obey our rulers... because they rule... for good or for ill.. because God wills it. God chose Jacob over Esau [i] Just as it is written: [b]"Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."[/b] What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, [b]"I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." [color=red]It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. [/b][/color][/i] [b]For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."[/b] [b]Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.[/b] [/i] Romans 9 ~ [/quote]

Who is she, and who is her son?
