God learned. God feared. God cried. God was made perfect.
Hebrews 5
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

This thread has derailed into a predestination thread. I don't believe the OP was that.
In my book, sure okay--everything was predestined. Whatever happened earlier today, was predestined to happen the day before. I can read any novel, skip to the end, then go back to Chapter 1, and I know the characters are predestined for...whatever happened in the last chapter. So...? It has no impact on anything.
And yes, God controls everything. But that does not mean he EXERTS control on everything.

Thank you. Satan is very clever not to expose himself!
Perilous times speaks of difficult dangerous times (and deception), which Christians are now living in just before the Rapture of the Church. The world economy is now collapsing due to the noisy pestilence world wide. The scriptures teaches us that there will be more tares than wheat in the Endtimes Church (Matthew 13:33, Revelation 3:14-22). It says that those who call themselves Christians will have a form of Godiness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
My question is? What does it mean to have a form of Godliness (those who call themselves Christians), but denying the power thereof?
