Esther is the one book that doesn’t mention God. His handprints are visible in each chapter, even as they are on every leaf, blade of grass and star. None of creation bears a tag that says, “Made by God”, but He fashioned all. It’s similar to something Ernie taught years ago. The book of Acts doesn’t contain the word “love”, but God’s love is very apparent throughout that book.

it is interesting to read about the Q document and the Gospel of Thomas. I googled the Gospel of Thomas and got information on the Q document, and a lot more. It can take you on a rabbit trail figuring out who is who. Double Tradition, etc. Whew, but it is interesting to read. Who wrote what before whom and who wrote for whom. Some believe that the Beatitudes,The Golden Rule,The Lords Prayer and some of the Parables came from that document.

Esther, “God”,? Isn’t this the one book in the Bible that doesn’t mention the word God?

When I was a girl I had two older brothers. I loved challenging them but the truth was they were bigger and had soooo much more knowledgable than me. My brother was taller and had long arms that when he put his hand on my head and stood just out of reach as I would fight the air with my fists hoping to connect with him I was so angry with him. He would just laugh at me. This all sounds just like that.

I’m not aware of any statement in the Bible that tells us man has total free will. I do know God exhorts His people to choose Him and His ways many times. Deuteronomy says “choose life.” Isaiah 44:22 states, “Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.” So, there are obviously many choices God allows His people to make.

Several times God declares that His sovereignty only allows men to go so far and ultimately sets limits on man’s will. Daniel 4:35 proclaims, “All the inhabits of the earth are accounted as nothing, but He does according to His will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth; and no one can ward off His hand.” Acts 16:7 informs us Paul and Timothy were trying to go into Bithynia, AND THE SPIRIT OF JESUS DID NOT PERMIT THEM.

“Believing the Bible was canonized according to the desire of God boils down to accepting the sovereignty of God.”

No it doesn’t!!!

Speaking of history it was amazing that Esther saved her people by entering a contest to become apart of a harem get beauty pointers from a gay guy who told her how to stick it to the king so good that he had to call her name over and over again, Esther emerged from that room no longer a in his harem but a certified concubine. I’m sure when the king favored Esthers wishes to save her people It was because he remembered the nights when she tells him like Beyonce” Say my name say my name”

Geez! Can God create a rock too heavy for Him to pick up?? How can you get things so twisted? The sovereignty of God does not conflict with the free will of man!! (He doesn’t have to leave His throne every time someone exercises the free will He gave them! Are you joking?) Your sovereign God gave you free will, this is not a problem for Him. Your statements and questions are completely ludicris!
