For him to divorce God and wife simultaneously would be bad publicity.

His very honest act called up the recent talk I had with another minister, a modest Methodist, who said: `` I feel so deeply blessed by God when I can give a message of love and comfort to other men, and I would have it no other way: and it is unworthy to think of self.

For discouragement, or the temptation to abandon our efforts, `` would show that one placed excessive trust in purely human means without thinking of the omnipotence of God, the irresistible efficacy of prayer, the action of Christ or the power of the Divine Spirit ''.

Someday God would choose him.

But the thought occurred that God would want this opportunity used to tell them about Him.

These would be two human beings, whom God had chosen.

God would not do that, Kate thought stubbornly.

Jonathan's letter came, as she knew it would, and he had accepted their child's death as another judgment from God against both Kate and himself.

He'd come East for the christening, by God he would.

But perhaps this was a part of the eternal plan, that man's ambition when linked with God would be a driving, indefatigable force for good in the world.

The next traditional step then was to accept it as the authoritative textbook of the Christian faith just as one would accept a treatise on any earthly `` science '', and I submitted to its conditions according to Christ's invitation and promise that, `` If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself '' ( John 7: 17 ).

His report of life there covers a wide range of topics, such as marriage in heaven ( where all angels are married ), children in heaven ( where they are raised by angel parents ), time and space in heaven ( there are none ), the after-death awakening process in the World of Spirits ( a place halfway between Heaven and Hell and where people first wake up after death ), the allowance of a free will choice between Heaven or Hell ( as opposed to being sent to either one by God ), the eternity of Hell ( one could leave but would never want to ), and that all angels or devils were once people on earth.

This reversal would evidently be counter to the expressed Creative Will of God.

According to the teaching of Arius, the preexistent Logos and thus the incarnate Jesus Christ was a created being ; that only the Son was directly created and begotten by God the Father, before ages, but was of a distinct, though similar, essence or substance from the Creator ; his opponents argued that this would make Jesus less than God, and that this was heretical.

Which human birth would have been more worthy of God, than the one, in which the Immaculate Son of God maintained the purity of his immaculate origin while becoming human?

Can God be mocked, ever, in the long run??

If God be for us, who can be against us??

Care must be taken neither to confuse unity with uniformity nor God with our parochial ideas about him, but with these two qualifications, the statement stands.

The statement also points to a classic paradox: The more men turn toward God, who is not only in himself the paradigm of all unity but also the only ground on which human unity can ultimately be established, the more men splinter into groups and set themselves apart from one another.

Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water ( symbol of the Word of God, see Ephesians 26 ) and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have traditionally taught that God is omniscient ( all-knowing ), omnipotent ( all-powerful ), and omnibenevolent ( all-good ) in nature.

Since God is absolutely self-sufficient ( a result from the cosmological " proof " of His existence ), all-knowing, and all-powerful, He is categorically free from any type of need and, consequently, He never does anything that is ridiculous, unwise, ugly, or evil.

Arthur Peacocke describes a position which is referred to elsewhere as " front-loading ", after the fact that it suggests that evolution is entirely consistent with an all-knowing, all-powerful God who exists throughout time, sets initial conditions and natural laws, and knows what the result will be.

The natural-evil-as-necessity argument is meant to be a response to the classic philosophical argument of the Problem of Evil, which contends that an all-powerful, all-knowing and beneficent God cannot exist as such because natural evil ( mudslides which crush the legs of innocent children, for instance ) occurs.
