Re: God Does Not Use The "works Of The Devil"
It is easy to reconcile these scriptures when they are taken in context. Christ was asked " 2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him."
Christ was asked which one of the parents or son's sin caused him to be blind? It was not a question if they ever sinned.

So when scripture states that God hardened pharoah's heart God didn't really mean that?

ReDave, You extrapulated that. You added to that scripture. You had to interpret. You did exactly what you accused me of doing.
BTW: I admitted several times that I have to interpret KJV. There's no other way to understand it.

Smoking? I said nothing about smoking. You interpreted that.
I said it in jest, Bro.

No not really. I read the verse in it's entirety. It says what it means.
You have never answered my contention. If scripture has so many mistakes how do you KNOW which ones are correct?

If these two scriptures, taken by themselves, without any interpretation, are not contradictory then I don't understand the English Language. |
Larry, in the first passage you quoted Jesus was answering the question asked by those around him. They wanted to know who had sinned to cause this man's illness. Jesus was simply answering their question, in the context in which they asked it. He wasn't trying to say this man's parents had never sinned.
