Fallacy: God Would Not Command What We Cannot Do – 01/10/2025

January 10, 2025

COMMENT In the devotion/article below, the author makes a compelling case that to believe that God would never give us a task that we could not accomplish is inconsistent with what the Bible teaches. I would add that Romans 7, specifically verses 7-14, seems to make it pretty plain. Paul says I understand; I am … More Fallacy: God Would Not Command What We Cannot Do – 01/10/2025
