So much has happened since the last time I blogged.
Stay tuned! Don't touch that dial. |
To recap, here are my 15 blog entries so far:
Welcome Aboard!
Q1: Is Paradise the Same as Heaven?
Q2: Where Did Adam & Eve's Grandchildren Come From?
Q3: How Did Dinosaurs Enter The Ark?
Q4: Are There Aliens in Outer Space?
CONNECTING THE DOTS VIA THE SCARLET THREAD <--- Fundamental. Must read!
Q5: Why Did God Punish Some People Yet Allow Others to Get Away Scot-Free?
Q6: Why Was Noah Spared The Flood?
Q7. Why did God Not Punish Abraham for Lying about his Wife?
Q8. Wasn't God Cruel to Test Abraham by Asking Him to Sacrifice Isaac?
In Q5, I listed down a table showing how God seemed to allow some to get away relatively scot-free and yet unfairly treated or even severely punished others. The general answer is that those whom He spared were in His "perfect will" of bringing about the promised seed, whereas those that were punished were unfortunately used by the devil to come against His "perfect will".
I shall next blog about Rahab and Achan so stay tuned!
