Principles I use to understand the Word of God.

Principles I use to understand the scriptures

1) God is in control over ALL his creation at every moment
- God has complete control over everything that has ever existed
- God is NOT a passive ruler but the ultimate micro-manager


2) No one and no thing can EVER resist the will of God
- There has never been neither will there ever be anything that will do ANYTHING apart from his will
- if there was ever anything or anyone who was able to resist his will that thing would be stronger than God.


3) Everything is ALWAYS as God wills it
- nothing has EVER frustrated the will of God at ANY time
- If ANYTHING arises that God does not will then that thing is greater than God


4) God IS love, His mercy endures FOREVER, HIs anger last for a MOMENT
-since God is love then that means he can ONLY act in kindness, patience, apart from envy, apart from arrogance, apart from pride, apart from rudeness, apart from self seeking. He is not easily angered and does not keep record of wrongs.  These form the basis of EVERY action of GOD.
- the mercy of God is a trait that arises out of the fact that he is love and since God endures forever so his mercy endures forever
- since God Is love and his mercy endures forever then his Anger CANNOT last forever.  Therefore in regards to God His anger CANNOT be a perpetual expression since it CANNOT be sustained longer than a moment in the face of LOVE and MERCY.
