will vs providence
eutychus:
comments will be appreciated.
Is it Gods will that we be angry? or Gods will that there is sin in our life.
or that bad things happen???
OR
is it that in the providence of God looking down through time he uses the things for a purpose known to him?
what is the difference between Gods will and Gods providence?

The way I see it it that "Providence" is the design or foresight God uses to direct his "Will". Kind of like a road map. He sees whos life he much touch in order to bring about a desired effect. Sometimes many lives must be touched to bring about an event to effect only one person. So...when something bad happens to a good person, it may very well be for someone elses benifit.

i was reminded of these verse but i'm not sure if they will help
Rom 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Rom 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Rom 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Rom 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
i can't wait to die
i am so impatient to get face to face
to know as i am known
to see Him as He is
to ask about three billion questions
but until then i guess it's patient endurance in Christ
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
sometimes i get a little frustrated with the dark glass and wish i could just smash it
1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
but then
Mar 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Heb 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
my brain hurts and i need a cup of tea LOL!

I will be the first to say I don't really understand the beliefs of this forum or what is allowed to speak about. I will go ahead and say what I think and maybe it will come out right and won't make anyone angry! We live in our pitifully human bodies that are declining each day. That is a part of life. There are good things that happen and bad things that happen. I believe it is God's will that we take these things and let God get glory out of even the worst circumstances.Our attitude can make a difference in people's lives and God uses us in that way. As God is our heavenly Father He has so much love for us and wants the best for us but we don't live in a perfect place yet. I love my daughter yet I can't stop bad things from happening. She learns from those as I hope me and her Daddy learn also. The Bible speaks of Satan going to and fro amongst the earth seeking whom he may destroy. That is the sins of this world and what we do with that sin is on us.
