What is the trinidad

Thank you for your perspective on my ponderings. Being a child in the Spiritual world I have so many things to learn and absorb. This is a path I treasure walking each and every day.

God lives outside of time. Flip over a bowl on a flat surface and you will see it. Genesis 1:1 the first thing the triune Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) did was to CREATE time. "In Beginning" God sees everything. He gives us free will. Were not robots. Bad things happen to us. He's not going to subvert choices, we or others make concerning us. He's given us his living Word to guide us. Adam & Eve chose to eat that fruit fully knowing they were not to. We are all vulnerable to bad choices unless we decide to live the known will of God toward us. "To give us an expected end". God is a loving Father. Earth is not our forever home. Follow Jesus. Ask anyone who has trusted Him.

How did God know me before I was in the womb? Was I in Heaven or of this Earth?

Abi's comment on 2015-08-18 02:11:18:

It's amazing.He is God. He created this amazing universe and everything is good. Much more myself, he created me last and best. Human. He could never have created anything that'd be useless. He is not a God of whims. Everything is carefully planned. Means I have an amazing duty to do here on earth. I have to find out what exactly it is and do it

Iyanu's comment on 2015-05-11 02:04:11:

If you have a special love for God and righteousness, a word of God of this form declares who you are, how you are, and for what reason are you like this. God sanctifies people since they were in the womb. God also know some people before ever they were formed or created in the womb. That 's a special knowledge of such people and not just the Omniscience character of God.

This verse reveals to us that God has a purpose for all His children. no matter where you are born,country,village, family, He has a purpose for all. wooow, God knows you and me...glory to His Holy name.

Brian's comment on 2015-01-07 04:10:40:

This Verse is what our children need to hear at the correct time through a wise teacher filled with the Holy Ghost of course ,to know that all things begin with God and that God is a person who is very personaly interested in His children

It is unspeakable joy, to understand that God knew us before we were even in our mother 's womb.I am confident that despite the momentary hardship here on the earth, God already won the battle for us all.My God is truly AWESOME and WORTH TO BE PRAISE FOR EVER AND EVER, AMEN!!!!

KINGSLEY KAMANGA's comment on 2014-07-15 08:08:55:

I see something from this scripture.Jesus spoke about it again.He said, 'haven 't I chosen twelve of you,and one is the devil. 'This means God knows us no matter who you are.Whether from the village,town,poor countries or richer ones.God knew you me before an eye saw you me.WE are not lost i Christ our Lord.

June Beresford's comment on 2014-04-02 23:40:04:

Jere 1 5 8. That God had the master plan for my life before I was conceived. His assurance that as I journey on to His higher calling fearing no one but looking to Him from whence cometh my help, He would be there to deliver and see me through. For to know God is to know no fear. Praise be to the High Most God.

LOICE MWANGI's comment on 2014-03-28 06:46:08:

Mockingbird's comment on 2014-01-19 05:35:32:

This scripture is so very precious:God knew who and what I would become !!!! I am still "becoming",He ordained me/us to be a prophet.When I/we speak the word of God I/we are prophets.I am so Blessed to be known and formed by the hand of my Great and Mighty Lord and Saviour and God !!!!! Praise God for His Love!!!

Malomo Zibabo's comment on 2014-01-18 22:24:23:

This reminds us that GOD knows the purpose why we were born. So it is left for each individual to find out that reason

Margaret's comment on 2013-12-08 15:02:13:

This is regarding pre-ordained, chosen, I foreknew you before; (I chose you before the foundation of the world), the overthrow of Satan. Check out the word foundation, it is not like the foundation of a building, it is casting down. God's overthrow of the World That Then Was, spoken of by Peter. God knew Jeremiah could cut it, as a prophet, he knew him from the first heaven and earth age and knew he could trust him, to do what God wanted him to do; he cannot trust that old Devil, that cause everybit of this earth age. May God Bless you.
