We don't have all the pieces of the puzzle. I expect there will be a general amnesty that won't be announced until after His return. Could you enjoy Heaven knowing your mother was being tortured day and night?? It's not impossible for God to change the rules or offer additional grace.

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

What a crock!
They used what did you have for breakfast to prove God is not in control.
Of course we have free choice but that does not negate God ability to incorporate that free will choice into his plans.
I do believe what they said that good people make bad decisions and that cause bad things to happen. But again that does not negate the fact that God is in control while allowing us to make those bad choices.

If God isn't in control then why do you pray to God to change things? If only you and Satan can control what is going on this earth why pray to God? You already said he can't control things.

That is being double minded saying God has no control but praying for God to change things. Which is it? Can God change things or not?

That crock, as you call it, is full of blessing and truth that you continue to fight against and you are reaping the fruit thereof.

You are being blessed with falsehoods and half truths. If God isn't in control why do you pray to him to change things?

Everyone makes comments not about the questions I ask but about me.
Address the questions, yes it will requires some critical thinking.


Think about this Korath opposed Moses and God and God consumed them by fire. Was it coincidence that the fire just happened at that time or place or does it prove God can do mighty things before us. Things that overturn the work of Satan.
If you have two people one Satan that does nasty things and another God that can virtually overturn everything Satan does. Who is in control? Think about it.

If we really believe God isn't in control then why do we pray for God to change things? Only the person that is in control can actually change things. To think otherwise is actually being double minded.

Now don't reduce this down to God decides which cereal you will eat. Don't even go there.

But to say God isn't in control and then praying to God to change things shows you haven't thought through what you are saying.

When Calvinists ask that question it always makes me laugh. I would think that the opposite question should be asked. If God IS in control then why even waste time praying. If God is controlling everything then it would be a waste of my time to ask Him to change anything because if He is controlling everything then things will turn out the way He wants them to whether or not I pray.

On the other hand, if a change does not occur unless I pray then that means that God is not controlling everything because He is only intervening when He is asked to. That means that many things that God wants to happen does not happen because people do not pray. Once again, Calvinistic logic falls flat on its face in the light of Biblical truth and plain common sense.
