My friend's 19 year old daughter said this: (crucifixion, scriptures, abortion) - Christianity - - City-Data Forum

"I wouldn't kill my own Son on a game of chance. Only if I was certain of the outcome."

She knew God didn't kill His Son on a game of chance. She knew God knew the outcome prior to sacrificing His only Son.

Yes, God definitely knew beforehand that Jesus was going to be resurrected.

Oh boy, why would she make a statement like that and in reference to what?

RobinD69 · 10-19-2011, 09:55 AM

I take it this is an abortion thread. If so, she makes sense.

ScarletWren · 10-19-2011, 10:11 AM

Is it just me, or did she not mean that Christ died with certain knowledge that His death meant life for the whole world? God didn't plan Christ's crucifixion and resurrection merely HOPING a few MIGHT, of their own free will, make a decision to accept His gift. Or am I reading the girl's statement the wrong way?

Another UR thread. Never mind...

Sometimes we have a hard time separating flesh and blood thoughts and wisdom from the love and wisdom of God which is far and above our own human comprehension..His thoughts and ways are not ours..

OH Sorry wrong thread.

That's also what I inferred from her statement, ScarletWren. The scriptures state that God gave his son for the redemption of the whole world.
