Thread: The Lord "SENT" It

  1. #1

    The Lord "SENT" It

    The Lord "SENT" It (Part 1)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew8t6zmEULI

    Synopsis: There are numerous places in Scripture where God says that He will "send" or is said to have "sent" a disaster, a plague, pestilence, delusion, an evil spirit, a cruel and ruthless enemy army, ferocious man-eating wild animals, and other harsh judgments. Atheists use such passages to castigate the God of the Bible. Some theologians use such passages to present theological views of God that make Him appear to be harsh, unloving, and unfair. Other Christians avoid such passages altogether, believing that certain parts of the Bible are too difficult or irrelevant. However, an often neglected principle of Bible interpretation is found in the statement that "God is said to 'send' or to 'have sent' that which He merely did not prevent or hinder." When we understand this truth then we get a better picture of the God who is exactly like Jesus Christ. For more teaching visit http://www.vindicatinggod.org

    Did you ever get around to doing that message on the Flood? I'm still interested because it's one area I don't have the full understanding on.
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.

    Because YOU asked for it ValW, I will try to do a video series on the flood as soon as I am finished with "The Lord SENT It" series of videos

    Coincidentally, I just finished publishing my book "Does God Send Natural Disasters" over the weekend. I wasn't going to make any real announcement about it or do any major advertising on it until January, but for those interested in the flood issue and can't wait for the video, here it is:

    Question. Would you say this non-hindering of God was a passive non-hindering? Meaning God just stepped back and allowed the enemy to have his way. Or would you agree to this being an active non-hindering? By that I mean that God's decision not to intervene is a deliberate and active decision on His part. It is not at all a passive act.

    I don't mean to quibble. I just see a huge difference in the two concepts of non-hindering and wonder how you see it.

    I believe that God is ACTIVELY protecting us from many things, most of which we will probably never know until we get to Heaven. But if we persist in doing as we wish then He really is left with no choice because He respects our free-will. In Psalm 81:10-16 it was the people who wanted nothing to do with God so He "gave them over" (See also Job 22:17).

    Now, is that "giving over" or "non-hindering active or passive? As a former secretary of state once asked, "what difference does it make anyway" (I'm just messing with you here). It seems that people make an active decison to forfeit God's protection and God makes a decision to remove it and allow whatever consequences comes as a result:

    And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. (Deut. 32:19-20)

    Or, as the Complete Jewish Bible says, "He said, ‘I will hide my face from them and see what will become of them." In other words, while God more than likely ACTIVELY relinquishes His protection and ACTIVELY engages in non-hindering, He is not the One who actively brings about the results or makes the consequences happen. He himself waits to see what happens to the people as a result of His no longer hindering the forces of evil.

    You're so thoughtful. Thank you my brother. Take your time though, I'm still reading "Devil Destruction Power" while putting the finishing touches on my own book. lol

    I just wanted to put it in your memory bank. But it would be a good read during the Christmas Holydays. Hey wait! I'll just buy the book on Kindle! Thanks!
