God Almighty is responsible for everything and He brings about everything only at its precise "APPOINTED SEASON AND TIME." Let's read it: "To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven" (Ecc. 3:1). The implications of this verse are staggering. The very foundation of human psychology and theology crumbles under the weight of this declaration of God's Word. This is undoubtedly one of the ten most profound Scriptures in the entire Bible. If we are to be honest and believe this verse, then we must concede that absolutely NOTHING is left out God's profound declaration. There is no wasted motion in God's creation, purpose and plan. Everything has an appointed time, and everything includes: "every purpose, every work, every matter, every event, and every deed. [1] "To every thing there is a season [appointed time] ,and a time to every purpose [matter or event] under the heaven" (Ecc. 3:1) . AND: [2] "I know that, whatsoever God does... NOTHING can be put to it, nor ANYTHING taken from it: and GOD does it" (Ecc. 3:14). like everything else that is beyond the realm of carnal comprehension, all of these things too, have been foreordained and pre-determined to happen only at their "APPOINTED TIME." God has appointed a time for false prophets to add and God has appointed a time for false prophets to take away from His word. HOW INTELLECTUALLY AND SPIRITUALLY HONEST ARE YOU? Do you believe the two verses of Scripture that I have quoted above? Is there any honest way out of what they say? Is there room for such a think as "man's uncaused free will choices" in either of these two verses? Unless you still insist on believing in contradictions and square circles, this should not be too mentally challenging to anyone: [1] God has PREDETERMINED a PRE-APPOINTED TIME for EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS UNDER HEAVEN. AND: [2] Absolutely NOTHING can be ADDED TO OR TAKEN FROM this purpose of God's. God is in control and that bothers you ? |
