Here is something I posted on another forum. Didn't realize what a hot topic it is.
I want to thank everyone for their input on my last post. It sure is nice to see you have prompted responses to a thought. So here is some more FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
First let's go back to the book of Exodus. Ex. 8 :15 says But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite,HE HARDENED HIS HEART, and hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said. Then in Ex.8:32 we read . And Pharaoh HARDENED HIS HEARTat this time also, neither would he let the people go. Next let's read Ex.9:34
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and HARDENED HIS HEART, he and his servants.
Now let's pay close attention to what we read in chapter 10 of Exodus. For our whole theory pro or con on the issue is addressed. Ex 10:1 says
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I HAVE HARDENED HIS HEART AND THE HEART OF HIS SERVANTS , that I might shew these my signs before him
How much plainer can it be? God choreographs his own plays.
THANK YOU, NIGHTMAN |
