Re: Is God in control
So God is NOT in control of those who do NOT want to yield to HIS will...

The fault in Bible complications is not with God or the Bible, but with men who refuse to believe what God says and think we have to interpret what He says in order to get the meaning. Dake Bible -Mark 11:17 note

If man doesn't want to abide by/with God, he is free to do as he wishes.
That does not equate to loss of control.

Control.

During the millennium God will make sure no one does anything sinful. After the millennium when God releases Satan many if not millions will rebel, and side with Satan. God will never force anyone to side with Him and stay on side with Him.

Re: Is God in control
Nor does God force men to stay saved as we see many that many that were saved fell away to apostasy rejecting Jesus. God has left it up to man the path he chooses to walk which is the servitude that love requires.
Word up!

But He wants us to come to Him of our own freewill.
He wants us to love Him of our own accord, because forced love isn't really love.
Re: Is God in control
Do you have at least one scripture that says that?
Of course those inside the holy city will not commit any sin, but what about those outside of it?
Do you think any outsiders will turn to God during the time after the thousand year reign?After the millennium when God releases Satan many if not millions will rebel, and side with Satan. God will never force anyone to side with Him and stay on side with Him.
