God Gives And Satan Take Away Vs God Gives And Take Away! by SeanT21(f): 11:10pm On Aug 01, 2009 |
There has been alot of debate regarding those 2 phrases.Some believe that God Gives and Takes Away while others believe that God gives and Satan takes away. I remember my ex-pastor saying that God Gives and Takes Away and half of the church had a strange look on their faces. Whats ur opinion this?? |

SeanT21: perhaps because they've never read their bibles. |

Everything good is attributed to god while bad things are blamed on the devil. A deluded man would tell himself anything to fan his madness. . . |

davidylan: Don't u think that is maybe oversimplifying things. You can't just dismiss everyone with a different view as having "never read their bible". It almost seems u claim to be some kind of final authority on all things related to Christianity. Can u please tell us what the Devil's job description is? |

Krayola2: Me i wonder for am sef. When Jesus said he came to give life and life more abundantly what did he mean? give us proof in the bible that God takes away human life through death. |

SeanT21: @SeanT21 - SeanT21 Hey long time . . . C'mon now, bet you know this is disguised discriminate (i.e. "I am a victim" line of reasoning There's more to this innocently looking & seemingly meaningful assertion . . . God's original intention is/was to give and to give whatever it is, for life (i.e. have it for ever) The taking away has nothing to do with God or satan But check this out . . . If God gives, and one receives with one hand only to hand it out with the other hand Trust me, satan is on standby "since yesterday" If what's given is handed over to satan satan is ready and willingly happy to take it off one's hand and scamper away with it This whole thing about "taking away", it aint half got na-da to do with God God?! Give and take away?!! Why would he want to do a thing like that for I'll tell ya how it all started . . . Let start with asking Adam questions about his date with God and about after the date, who took away the original mandate God gave him . . . He probably wouldnt be keen volunteering the information likely cos its an embrassing question & it brings back bad memories but he certainly might point fingers - yeah, two at satan and three at himself Notice, none at God |

It varies on what context u meant it. If u mean as in God giving Life and satan taking it, i'd rather say it is appointed unto man, once to die and after that judgment follows. . . . In othes words 'God gives and he takes back after the fulfillment of what he gave (life). In anywiays, i should broaden ur horizon in the God giving and satan taking scene. If God gives u a particular valued possession or gift/talent or LiFE and its not well used as he (GOD) so expect then he leaves u up to ur fate which can be seemingly categories as "God's Own Perfect Will and Human's Own Permissive Will" once We as human cannot or do not value God's perfect will then he leaves us to our permissive will of which the devil has a big acess into. I hope this helps. Sorry 4 me bad engrish, i was driving when typing . . |

Reload Brein:' @Brein - Brein Nice submission Typing whilst driving? Tut-tut-tut You dont half take risks do ya?, You should know better to park or give the driving your full attention Brein hey check this out: If I say "Hey here's a bird. Keep it as a pet, look after it, it's yours for keeps" and I also say "Do whatever you like with it but do not let go off the string attached to the bird's leg . . . " Now Brein quick question please: If you let go of the string and the bird bolts and flies Will you turn around pointing fingers at me that cos you chose your Permissive Will over my Perfect Will I then took the bird away (i.e. back from you) No! You wouldnt because it was you that let go of the string in the first instance . . . aint that so? As I earlier mentioned, God gives, and when God gives it literally for keeps (i.e. for ever) Now if one wants to squander, rubbish, abuse, not value etc the gift (e.g. life, fruit of the womb, physical prowess, position etc) then there are costs and consequences (i.e. a price of loss) God isnt taking them back, he doesnt need them, it's just the way the cookie crumbles . . . Check out this verse about the issue of life that you brought up Genesis 2:9, 16 & 17 Contemporary English Version: Proxy Eve, Adam was a risk taker but his gamble didnt pay off as expected It's not easy making decisions you know, on hindsight he probably thought "I shouldn't have jumped the gun . . . Should have waited until am able to be trusted with the responsiblity of making decisions and standing by them" Anyway the rest is The legacy is that satani is on the neighbourhood watch prowl ready and waiting to pick up or take away what one doesnt value dare I say, even life am not |

God never takes away what he gives. you men get them lost when you get them lost on the way, while satan walking around he found it and takes it for his own |
