Re: What is one thing that impossible for God to do, but man does quite well?
the Bible says we have to make changes to be forgiven-

So then, really, men pardon each other's sin quite well, while it seems that God can't.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18535219


Really? You can forgive someone who continually wrongs you or lies to you and thinks saying "sorry" makes it ok. That's the definition of an a-hole.

Saying sorry and asking forgiveness is an undertaking to try not to do that sin or crime again, even among men. Otherwise it's meaningless. The whole Jesus thing was that he had to make the sacrifice for us, because man wasn't capable of being truly sorry for his own sins.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14318106


I make it a point to be absolutely merciful...so yes I do forgive someone who continually wrongs me. At the same time, I don't let it happen any further...I'm sensible about it.

I've had a good friend lie to me for many years. I see through it, and I don't make his life any worse for who he is...I accept him, because that's what friends do. "Mercy triumphs over judgment."

If the choice comes, press charges so that this person who has harmed me will spend life in solitary confinement...or don't...I will choose not to ruin that person's life!

Besides myself and my weird philosophy of mercy...you see most men letting porn (for instance) continue on in their earthly kingdom. Men maybe aren't as forgiving as God...but they are certainly better at pardoning sin.

Take the story of Sodom and Gomorrah...do you think the people living in those cities were condemning each other? Nope. They accepted one another...and God didn't accept them.

I understand it fully.

But what of the people that are literally unable to change their course? They try and experience epic fail time after time. That is my experience and struggle.

According to some verses, such as the one you just gave, it means there is no PARDONING of their sin. No forgiveness then! The person must stop sinning, and then they are forgiven/pardoned by God.

Man pardons...he allows sinful people to exist in the world with him. He lets them be, as long as it doesn't interfere with his own free will. For the most part.

To me, this is a virtue. It is mercy, and acceptance of human nature. It's a blessing to the person who experiences failure, when someone else acknowledges that we all make mistakes.

I'm not at all saying God is incapable of pardoning sin. I can't speak for him. I hope he has a similar heart and mind to me, and could see my point of view...it would save many from the "lake of fire".

There are other verses that may contradict the idea that God has an inability to pardon, for instance,

13because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!

Maybe mercy acts as a loophole out of it.

Anyway, don't mean to get you riled up. I just totally struggle with it, and discussion will bring more clarity to the situation.

#1 the father never forgives blasphemy against the spirit. not in this cycle(system) nor the one to come.

#2 the fathers name is not jehovah. its reverse translation
means mischief. so to be in truth and not lie you must use
his real name that was given to us. otherwise it is a lie.

if it is not in truth then it can not be love.

his name in Hebrew Yehueh
his name in Aramaic Yahuah

there is no j or v . the letter j is 200 years old.
the letter v is from modern hebrew. modern Hebrew was
fabricated from yiddish, and different dialets of aramaic.
they dont speak ancint hebrew. it has not been spoken since the exile to babylon in about 600bc.

the waw has a long u sound or a oo sound.

Gods name Jehovah in Hebrew was represented by four letters called the Tetragrammaton, read from left to right in Hebrew, and can be represented in modern languages as YHWH or JHVH. Gods name, represented by these four consonant's appear almost 7,000 times in the original "Old Testament, or "Hebrew Scriptures".
The name is a form of a Hebrew verb ha`wah, meaning "to become"- "He causes to become" -

God can't Love???- 1 John 4:8 says; "God IS love"
John 3:16 says: "For God loved the world so much he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life"
I would say that's the greatest of all love, wouldn't you?
 Quoting: CelestialMaiden


Yes, God loves me so much that he will burn me forever in hell. WOW, now that is love. So the story is that God hated everything he created. He destroyed most of it in a flood. Then he decided that man was evil so he had to sacrifice himself to himself after he got a virgin teenager pregnant. Then he had himself killed as a blood sacrifice and if I don't believe this insane story, I get to go to hell, no questions asked. That is real LOVE, let me tell you.

I feel nothing is impossible for God to do, even if something were to be seemingly contradictory, God's actions are beyond our total understanding. We could place expectations on what is plausible so far as things God would do or wouldn't do, but in the end, I feel it would be impossible to know, unless within the Godhead.
