I know there is a perfect will of God and Jesus walked in it, even though he suffered & was tempted as we are. If you look @ the history of the OT, we can surely see there must have been a permissive will ! Sarah & Abraham told a half truth in Genesis to prevent Abraham's murder. A great nation and our salvation came through his loins. Lot's daughters committed incest with their father, yet God made 2 great nations from this. David, a man after God's own heart, well loved by the Lord, yet he committed adultery and had her true husband killed. He is Israel's most renowned king, to this day ! I do not think it is favourable to walk in this mind-set for the consequences of sin must be paid & the continuance of is death. I know that Jesus paid the ultimate punishment for OUR SINS in perfection. He took our consequences & they were nailed to his cross. We are to seek God's will and strive to hold fast to our profession of faith. Every day we are tempted, tried & pulled by our flesh to act against the truth; sometimes we FAIL! If God allows us a period of Grace to repent, is this not God's permissive will?

this is a praise topic. God proves His hand is involved by moving when all seems lost. in this, He shows His immeasurable love. He leaves not even a shadow of a doubt, and loves to operate within the realm of "impossibilities". He does not share His glory. let's share examples of how God wins through what seems as losing to mankind. biblical examples and/or personal testimonies are all welcome. me first: Christ Jesus as the suffering servant, loving and obedient Son of God, voluntarily gave His life for all the sins of humanity. through His apparent defeat, we are all victorious. through His death, we have life, and life in abundance. personally, when Christ found me, i was at my utter worst. i had lost all hope in this life and the one hereafter. when i was ready to give it all up, He reached out His hand to lift me up. i died that day, alright.. the Prince of Peace killed me with His perfect love, and that old man passed away.. He makes all things new... your turn!
