Col 1:16 because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities;
all things through him, and for him, have been created,
Col 1:17 and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted.
I believe that ALL of the creation will be gathered back to the Creator; whether it be Hilter or the adversary.(the devil)
I do not expect to change my understanding without a diffention that explains that ALL means something other than ALL (complete, total).
My God and Father is a God of love and I believe He had and has a plan where He will bring back to him all His children, even the most of the heidous crimes that has ever been commited. Just what is the diffention and the limit of the Love that a Father has for his children?
I realize that I maybe talking to the choir, but there may be some have thoughts about what ALL means :grin:
amen. takes some twisting to try to explain it away, huh?
(how big is your God? how good is He? how strong? how able? are His plans good or bad? has His creation gotten away from Him? did He make mistakes? is He surprised by anything? can measly man overcome His will? has sin/satan won 95%? if so, has your God overcome death? does He hold the keys to heaven and "hell"?)
etc.
blessings

Right there with you bro
Hi;
Amen !!
The Hitler stuff seems to be highlighted by the sort of comments Christ was making when he said that those who " thought" of committing a crime were just as guilty as though who diid the crime. He seemed to be making the point that there needed to be more pure motives than they were showing. Hence the promotion of love others more than yourself and stop coveting other people's stuff.
I like 1 Cor 4;5 " So then not be judging anything before the fitting time until the Lord shall come, Who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then the praise shall come to each one from God."
Rather fortunate the His time schedule is immaculate and pretty well organised.
