The God Who is There - Question & Answer

> If God is unchanging, why did he flood the earth in the time of Noah and then "change" his mind? Or in 2 Samuel when he relented and did not destroy Israel. He seems to "realize" he shouldn't have done that, even though he knows all. - Genesis 6:6 - 2 Samuel 24:16 > All of these sermons have been very eye opening to me about how I did, should, and do think about God and through all of this I have been diving deeper and deeper into my prayer but I can't tell if He is responding. I can't tell if he is speaking to me, and sometimes I think I am seeing signs from Him but how do I differentiate between these things and know if he is responding to me? - John 1:14 > If God created all things, who made him? - Genesis 1:1 - John 1 - Exodus 3:14 - Isaiah 40:28 > In the view of the Israelites of the Exodus, God repeatedly declares that He will make pharaoh stubborn, and then as a consequence for Pharaoh’s stubbornness, God sends suffering and death on Egyptian people and animals (not just pharaoh). While this demonstrates God’s omnipotence, (1) where is his love? (2) how is God not responsible for evil by causing pharaoh to reject him? - Exodus 9:12 - Romans 9:17-24 - Romans 1:24 > Since God is unchanging, why do we not see miracles like we did in the Bible happening anymore? For instance laying hands and seeing the leper healed. I know God does miracles every day, but it would be so encouraging to see the blind see and the dead raised. - James 5:14 - Luke 5:17-26 > Should Christians picket abortion clinics, or boycott gay bakeries? Do Christians need to protect God's sovereignty? - Deuteronomy 32:39 - James 4:17 - 1 Corinthians 5:12
