2dugged: Partiality is a negative word and it cannot be used to describe God. God inhibits the praises of His people, if you want His abiding presence then keep praising Him and your prayers will be close to His ears "The prayers of the righteous are His delight" If you want to know more about God then you can send a PM. The Holy Spirit will help reveal Him to you if you ask. Science has failed many people, there are several instances where science could not go further but God stepped into the case |

BuzChi:2 Peter 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Lol you should study more! vs 2 explicitly states that grace be multiplied (which means some people have grace even before they were born) through the knowledge of God and our Lord Jesus. The questions are who grants us this knowledge? And is this conditioned on our fulfilling something first? Or does God simply give understanding to those He has chosen? Vs 3 answers the question! Colossians 1:9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives It doesn't look like they were praying for anybody. Or does it? So who were they praying for? People who have become like them. Who they heard have been saved by grace. And they began praying that they be filled (with what they have) with the knowledge of God's will. It didn't look like they were trusting on men to do they filling! |

Pidgin2:PM you, sorry, I would rather keep my sanity. partiality is a negative word but calling him the consuming fire isn't? , I bet there is nothing positive about consuming or fire not to talk of bringing the two words together, but since the context in which it is used favours you, it's allowed?, I don't know about other parts of the world but here, science has proven to be more reliable than any religion, that's a fact 5 Likes |

SmartMugu:The GOD who created all the ones you have mentioned doesn't even want to be known, or else the development of the world will be slower, as we can see right now. God the Universe the father of Yahweh, Vishnu, Allah, Mazda, Enlil and so on isn't the GOD of religion but the God who loves human to use their brains and advance the course of humanity. |

God (Yahuwah Elohim) is not partial, He loves you more than you love Him and loves you more than you love yourself. He knew you'll not be able to keep His laws that's why He introduced grace. Righteousness is either by grace or law and righteousness leads to salvation. By law you'll have to keep the commandments which are written on tombstones, this is external and seeks to put your mortal self under check. However if you break one of the commandments you break all and you'll not be saved. The laws are not bad by themselves but by nature the flesh is rebellious, they actually show us why we needed to be saved. Grace and law are mutually exclusive. It's either you're under grace or operating under law. Grace on the other hand achieves righteousness through faith. It is a gift which you receive by acknowledging the fact that you've falling short of the standard of Elohim. This is where seek and you'll shall be given comes in. Seek the kingdom and every other thing will be added on to you says Yeshuah(Jesus ). Let the spirit guide you on your journey. The spirit is your teaher, remembrancer, guide, revelator and administrator. So to your question if God is partial, it depends on which path you're on, do you rely on yourself seeking earnestly to keep the law or you're following Yeshuah's way through the spirit. Because if you're operating under law and you see someone operating under grace it will look as if He's partial but He's not, it's your choice at the end of the day. REMEMBER HE GAVE YOU FREEWILL. CHOOSE WISELY. N.B: What i have written is backed up by scripture. He is at your door waiting for you to open it. |

The drugs that doctors prescribed for has has got the following side effects: Cancer, liver failure, hepatitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, diarrhea, arthritis, and it can only barely prolong her life (it also costs a fortune) Science indeed |

Zenlife:God is all knowing because if u have two options in life A and B he knows where exactly A will lead u to and where exactly B will lead u. But he allows u make those choices. The first Jesus prophesied about Judas betrayal it was already written dat he knew Judas had been stealing from him So he knew d choice Judas made and where it would lead him to |

hopefulLandlord: The devil accused God of favoring Him. God knew that even if he took away His blessings from job, he would remain faithful. "Your enemy, the devil is moving about like a roaring Lion, looking for whom to devour " Devil played the same role that atheists and unbelievers are playing on this thread trying to accuse God of partiality yet the bible showed the devotion Job had to the Lord as God blessed His life in return but the devil" the accuser of the brethren" did not like this Thank God for Jesus our advocate, who pleads on our behalf to the Father almighty so that whenever devil and his disciples (atheist) accuse God of being partial to certain people, Jesus speaks on behalf of those people to God so you might not get another Job anytime soon. Jesus is Lord!!!!!! |

oruma19:Wat u called boldness i call it temerity. D day u choose to be called a Christian dat is d day u choose not to ask some questions. And pls in other not to sound foolish do a little research before u start displaying ur ignorance go to John 12:6 I have read d entire exodus, leviticus, numbers and deut. Wat u mentioned there is just a tip of those kind of things. And i do scream sometimes wen i read so stories but as i said if God wanted me to know exactly why he did wat he did he could have written it in his word or revealed to me. Until den I WILL NEVER QUESTION HIS DECISIONS |

zionmade: You are missing the most important thing which is to believe and you are celebrating works. Grace isn't merited bro. That's why its grace. But Jesus has died and salvation has been perfected for[b] all[/b] who believe; and this is the very nature of God (all through - "He didn't change"!) that was revealed in Christ. So God is not partial. |

tell me about the choices Job's first family and workers made in order to deserve suffering and deaths keyword: "Job's first family and workers. Can I take this to mean that you are also asking what choice or sin did Christ make for him to suffer and die? Do u know the moral of Jobs story, do u also know God blessed job double for all the things he lost. The moral of Jobs story was about integrity and loyalty, God allowed those things to happen to Job so as to prove to Satan who challenged him that nobody will serve God when the goings are bad. Job was faithful and loyal eben when he lost everything proving the devil to be a liar.like the bible said God blessed Job double than want he had initially and his brothers and sisters and friends all came back. And he came to have additional 10 children. So how are you sure that those children and workers were not brogt back to life as did Jesus who was ressurected after he died a sinless man. |

God gave us head so we can can use it..leave all this plenty tok of u can't question God. Even God said," come let us reason togeda" what do u tink God is saying?
