More explanation please ..... |

ibinaboonline: I already wrote in that post that the hate, which is rejection also means love less. You really didn't have to restate like I missed it na. Anyway God's judgements are justified. Jeremiah 1:5, Romans 8:30 the concept of predestination is hard to those who don't know God. I said know, I didn't say those who believe or don't believe He exists. God knew Jeremiah before he was even formed in the womb. Can you grasp that for a moment. God had already judged him a prophet even before he knew what breathing was, and God justified his judgement. God have chosen men without giving any explanation other than he ordained it so. That he made it so. Meaning like some posted "acting according to script" His writings. God so loved THE WORLD not God so loved You won't find a single scripture that tells us God loves wicked and evil men. It like another scripture I asked about, "world without end" but sir this world is said to end. This is where we need to understand what world means. Because there are phrases in the scripture that refers to different worlds, the world of men and the world that is of God. If you read the posts in this link https://www.nairaland.com/5680837/seen-kingdom-god You will understand Jesus didn't die for everyone. John 3:16 those who believe Those who believe are those who God reveals Himself to. So you see God has been choosing and deciding for a long time. That explains what John says "those who left where NEVER a part of us" Jesus said those who come are brought by the Father. He also said it is not in man to save himself. Picture something already decided from the foundation of the world, names already written. Numbers already recorded. Everything already planned out. We are not speaking about probability here but certainty. I don't disagree that God values the whole world but I disagree that God values every human the same because many will perish because they are not of God and never were. |

tejpot: And where/how did you come about to assert "God and the how he deals with everyone? Hope its not from your religious text? |

ibinaboonline: Saul represents man's choice, man's desire and was bound to fail, whenever man choices there's always results in problems. For example Lot choose Sodom and Gomorrah while God choice for Abraham. Widall: I realize that Jacob already said that the king will come from Judah so from time it was the plan, picking a king from another tribe was just to teach a lesson. 1 Like |

tejpot:sir! there is no how you can try to justified the word "repented" that's derogative word to Almighty God. even our so called king on earth don't regret their action according to the tradition of British and French kingships how much more God Himself . those are the human errors in tales telling. |

Uyi168:God knew Infact if you read 2 kings 8:8-13 when Elisha was anointing a king as instructed by the Lord (a king God even mentioned to Elijah in 1 kings 19:15) Elisha told Hazael in verse 12 all the evil he would do Yet God asked his prophet to anoint him, or what about Jehu.

BlueAngel444:I read the place again I did not see what Saul did that's bad! Samuel was a greedy fellow wanted to be ruling Israelite through Saul and Saul did not allow him to do, how can commanded a man to go and wipe off a community because they did not allow them to passed through when they were coming from Egypt ! in fact that god is evil no different between such god and boko haram. |

tejpot:The God that chose you all the way from womb? so op is telling me that God is making mistake ? that word repented is a word from a weaken spirit. |
Re: "And The Lord Repented" by BlueAngel444: 2:39pm On Feb 16, 2020 |
jcross19:Lol, this thing you just said now reminds me of a comment that Samuel was angry that the people rejected him for Saul so cursed him But that's not what happened nor the point. anyway what I get is, irrespective Saul would have definitely made a mistake that would lead to his rejection because God's plan had to do with the tribe of Judah And not just any mistake, but going against God's direct command, something David with all his faults never did. |

Re: "And The Lord Repented" by jcross19: 2:44pm On Feb 16, 2020 |
BlueAngel444:forget about the plan of God after Solomon ten tribe was taken away from Judah did that continue with the plan of God when the Israel was divided into two! the issue is that Samuel was greedy man. do you know that Samuel want to play God when he anointed David at the age of 14 years thinking Saul will die then he could be ruling the Israelites through young David but kept Saul on the throne till Samuel died before David was ascended to the throne. |

liveyourlife007:nah, God doesn't Lemme give you an example the SAINTS, not men o, were praying to God in the book of revelation6:10 on how long till he judges their death and God told them to wait FOR HIS PLAN. Jesus prayed, sweated blood self and God didn't change his mind on him dying. |

Alitair:Jesus that saw his disciples flee and scatter or one of his favorite peter deny him, and that billions will still reject him till went and died on the cross I believe the better term isn't God sees the future but that Go writes the future, predestines it, predetermines it. |

Re: "And The Lord Repented" by BlueAngel444: 2:57pm On Feb 16, 2020 |
ibinaboonline: Saying that God repents for man's deed is saying God is responsible for man's deed, but then you say man has free will. Sir if you do have such a deep understanding of the bible I have a question for you how can you trust a God that changes his decision.? Because my God doesn't change his mind, what he says he will do he will definitely do it. |

Re: "And The Lord Repented" by tejpot(m): 3:19pm On Feb 16, 2020 |
Reality11: Yes, it is. Does that offend anyone in anyway? Or is there a rule I am missing out that says, it's inhumane to have a guiding principle. By following this principle, perhaps I brake any law, then the law takes its course. |
Re: "And The Lord Repented" by Reality11: 3:34pm On Feb 16, 2020 |

Re: "And The Lord Repented" by fyneboi79(m): 3:55pm On Feb 16, 2020 |
BlueAngel444:misinterpretations and misunderstanding means then a possibility of the "judgment day" not holding because it nullifies personal accountability due to biblical misconceptions about Gods true intentions. |
