Who is in control of the world? Who is in control of our lives? Are we? Is everything planned in advance, with us just like Puppets in a pre determined performance.Some Believers follow Calvin, who believe we are!..
Does the phrase 'Free will' appear in the Bible? I cant remember coming across it....but that does not mean its not there!!.Could it be the idea that's there?
The Church i got saved into had great faith, that God would not allow certain things, and would supernaturally intervene in situations,until one person challenged them, and would not leave the meeting until her concerns were addressed,she was carried out with four American ex-football players on each arm and leg...she ended up with bruises all over her arms and legs.How did they explain that God did not intervene?...... she was called a 'Basket case'....Unsurprisingly the 'church' has a very high drop out rate,where was the love of Christ?
We have to trust that God is in control,when the world seems out of control, its so easy to doubt,as society crumbles into a depression.Yet the Lord hates doubt,its lack of Faith,not trusting.
So how do we know what is the right thing to do? Our conscience, because of it we always know what is right and wrong, what really matters is obeying the voice of our conscience. Before i was saved i can remember my justification for Sin i knew was wrong,'i deserve to do what i want', 'its someone Else's fault i am doing this, if they had' .....notice the constant in all these excuses?....I .....I....Whats right for me is all that matter, selfishness, 'i deserve' ME... ME.... ME..
Psychopaths supposedly have no conscience,i don't believe that...they are just expert at ignoring it.Violent men have endless justification, (i suppose that is the 'Pysocopathy' element of the Dark Triad.)
A woman who arranged her child's kidnap, due to be released from Prison this week, was described as 'unable to put the needs of her children before her own' ..by her Psychologist, NO she was UN-WILLING.She knew the right thing to do.
So we go on, we trust that this is all in Gods plan, and that He is in control, and even if we go to heaven before the Rapture,Jesus WILL return as it says in the Bible,God does not Lie,He keeps His Promises,the most precious one to me being, 'I will never leave you or forsake you' Amen come Lord Jesus.
