    How flexible is God's planning

    You preach as though God can not change His mind. You quoted: Num 23:19 "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? But that is 100% not stating God cannot change His mind...

    How flexible is God's planning

    Call the truth, a big scary word like "Anthropomorphisms", but it does not change the truth that God "saw" and God regretted. Ditch your doctrines for the truth.

    How flexible is God's planning

    I believe the Bible. So, no He is not, in the sense that you present it. He is just powerful enough to put constraints or limits on man's free will.

    How flexible is God's planning

    Really? Then why did God "see" the sinfulness of man, and then regret making man, if He already knew? We need to believe the bible, not our preconceived, or taught, view of God.

    How flexible is God's planning

    We must believe the bible's definition of God's knowledge (Him allowing free will), not just assign Him a human term.

    How flexible is God's planning

    Sorry, but those scriptures point to the fact that God has a measure of control, and has knowledge of the heart of man; they do not endow God with a perfect foreknowledge. The scriptures I provided counter what you are saying. God clearly regretted making man. God, as God, has the right to...

    I cannot bring myself to trust

    No person is designed to go to hell. God desires salvation for every person He has created. If you read the early church, you will see that for the first 400 years they taught that man has "free will", and we work in synergy with God to inherit salvation. It was only Augustine who introduced the...

    How flexible is God's planning

    Although I believe God has a plan for His creation, I believe it flexes with man's choices. The fact is God does not "cause" any man to sin. Sin, specifically fornication can lead to childbirth, and whole generations of change. So God's plan must flex, with the choices of people. Do we see...

    Can an evil spirit acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh?

    This is true. 1Co 14:29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.

    Can an evil spirit acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh?

    In my opinion demons will say what ever they think will gain them the greatest advantage. If they come to you with a message, that is not of God, they may well say "Jesus is the son of God", why, they want you to believe a lie. It is very hard to discern voices, and spiritual messages. Although...

    Gal 2:16 and Rom 2:13 : Works of the Law Justifies or not?

    Not only Paul, but Jesus stressed that the "doers of the law will be declared righteous". Mat 5:17-20 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle...

    Does man have a freewill ?

    John 8:34 does not mean a person can not escape their sins, for we see "If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." Joh 8:34-36 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son...

    Does man have a freewill ?

    You mention that man has a will, meaning man could make choices to sin, etc. We know that God does not cause man to sin: James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. So it is not God's sovereign will...

    Healing Spiritual Gift?

    It sounds like what is happening is the Spirit is leaving the sick person, and attacking the person who is praying. As I don't have this kind of experience myself I can not comment. It would not be that the person has a problem, it may be they have misunderstood how the Spirit realm operates...
