confused

Genesis 11: 1 At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words.

But the people defied GOD and went against what HE told them to do, so the Trinity had a conference and it was decided what they were going to do.

Genesis 11:7 Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.”

So today even when we speak the same language we do not always mean the same thing when we use the same work.

Like the word will. What does the word will mean? That entirely depends on the context in which it is used.

The will of: Will you come here?
is entirely different than the will of: The will of so and so will be read at 2pm.

In the same is true when we think about the will of GOD. It can get confusing when we read of the words: will of GOD unless we realize the 2 types of will of GOD used in the Bible and look at the context in which it is used..

There is the decreed will of GOD... GOD declares something will happen.... and HE makes sure it does.

Ephesians 1:11... according to the plan of HIM (GOD) who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of (GOD) will,

Acts 1726From one man GOD made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and HE determined/ set the times set for each of them and the exact places where they should live. 27God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

But word translated will can also just mean want or desire
In the King James we read: 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Does that mean GOD has decreed that no one will perish? The Bible says many will perish so we know that is not what it means.

The answer is seen in context and I think the New international Version makes it clear.

2 Peter 3:9 NIV The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

GOD desires, wants everyone to be saved but they won't be. Why? Because GOD has given man free will to choose. He can chooses to believe what GOD says or refuse the truth.

John 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

GOD made us and chooses the times and places for us but HE has left the biggest choice up to us. The choice in believing HIS word or the lies of the evil one. It is your choice...
