God Has No Plan B

4/20/21


Many people think that God has had to intervene in His plan for our salvation due to circumstances where mans free will disturbs His plan A and caused God to go to plan B or perhaps C. Some people think man has no free will of any kind and that all things good or evil are directly willed by God. Neither of these are true and show a human mind lacking in understanding of God. The truth is that weather man has free will or not can in no way cause God to alter His plan A. Gods plan A is what He in eternity has always had. God has omniscience, the ability to see, understand and know all things totally and completely and before He created anything God saw how all things would play out before He would speak them into existence. What appears to us as an intervention is in reality Gods pre-existenting planned response to what He has already seen before He created anything. This is how Gods plan A is so sure and how His will is completed no matter what mans free will may do.

God does not have a plan B. God sees in advance what men will do and God allows men to do what they want but has in eternity past made a way around any problem with His pre-planned interventions thus confirming His word and will throughout all time.

Acts 15:18 NKJV Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.


Romans 4:17 NKJV
As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.


There is no person or power that exists that can thwart Gods plan A. In Gods reality all things happen "at once" as God speaks His

Romans 4:17 NKJV As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.



There is no person or power that exists that can thwart Gods plan A. In Gods reality all things happen "at once" as God speaks
word it is performed because He is not bound by time or anything else. Albert Einstein knew this about God as he made this statement; "God created time so that all things would not happen at once."

In God's reality all things do happen "at once". Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to Me void but it shall accomplish what I please and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."

Everything in God's will was accomplished the moment He spoke it.

Psalm 33:9 "For He spoke and it was done; He commanded and it stood fast."

Isaiah 46:9-10 "Remember the former things of old; for I am God and there is no other; I am God and there is none like Me; declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things that have not yet been done; saying My counsel shall stand and I will do all My good pleasure."


GOD SPOKE IT but to men it appears to have been done over a long time.

All these scriptures are very plain and describe the great GOD in a way that you may have never seen Him.

In eternity past, before GOD created anything, GOD knew every thought, word and deed of all people past, present and future. This does not mean that GOD directly willed all these things but HE knew them all in advance in eternity.

Isaiah 57:15 NKJV "For thus says the high and lofty one who inhabits eternity....."

Your prayers were answered by GOD, yes or no, in eternity before you existed. In eternity GOD could cause people, converted or unconverted, to do His direct will at a time of His choosing. GOD knew all your sins before you were alive to commit them; GOD did not make you sin but knew you would sin. GOD has always known in eternity who would be written in the Lambs book of life and who would not.

King David, in Psalm 139:16 , is speaking about the things I have written here. David is not saying in this Psalm that men have no free will but is saying that GOD has known you and all people that have lived or will live and has in eternity used you in His plan A to do His will. The unpardonable sin is proof of what I say. Would GOD cause you to commit this sin, or would you of your own free will do it? Hebrews 10:26


See just how great GOD is , then you are able to see why it was impossible for Jesus to have sinned.

You should see that GOD does not take mans free will from him because that would make GOD responsible for sin. Our free will is part of what makes us in GOD'S image. Did GOD force a third of the angels to rebel against Him? Will GOD force two humans to become the antichrist and false prophet in the future? If you have no free will then how can you repent? Is GOD responsible for all the sin, pain, suffering and death in the world or did these things come about because of Satan and men? Romans 5:12

To become one of GOD'S saints you must by your free will repent and love GOD and your neighbor by the power of GOD'S spirit in you. You must submit your will over to GOD in faith to trust and obey GOD.

GOD is love. GOD wants you to be like Him, LOVE. True GODLY love is by free will without force or by having no other choice. True agape must be by free will.

Those who will be in the lake of fire will there of their own free will .

GOD has no plan B but a plan A in eternity.

It is difficult for human's to apply our limited minds to understanding God's works. So many have tried to put God in a box for viewing under a magnifying glass. We simply don't have that capacity. We can read what God has written - with what we have still remaining of the original letters and books - and see what He did, but understanding His mind is impossible.

It is apparent to those who strive to know God's truth that He gave man free will.

I do believe that, while He allows us to make choices, He knows what they will be from beforehand. While I might think that I can control my future, my control spans only a few seconds in reality. God's plan is not thwarted by man.

Jn 6:43–44 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.

I don't know how God knows who to draw, but I am so grateful that He did.

As for whatever else He has planned for me, I am good with it.

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 This may be part of how Yahweh determines who to draw to HIS son. Jeremiah 9:23-24 Shows that to a small degree we can know Yahweh and this only because of HIS spirit in us. Jesus said, if you have seen me you have seen the Father. This refers to the character of Yahweh in agape and righteousness, which the man Jesus had in full measure as Jesus was the express image of his God in these ways.

Even the idea that Yahweh left anything to chance is absurd. To our lowly human minds, we cannot conceive of how Yahweh can know the future at the same time allowing us free will.
It is sort of like going to a movie with a friend who has not seen the movie. You know what is going to happen but you never controlled those things and your friend might think you do control them because of your knowing what is going to happen. In GODS awesome mind HE has seen the movie of humanity before HE made the movie and even though the beginning of the movie was horrible with a lot of sin and death GOD would edit the movie to have a glorious ending. Since GOD is not creating other GODS, Isaiah 43:10 , and no one is like HIM , this would mean that all other beings HE would create would be vastly inferior to HIM. Angels sinned, humanity sins but GOD never sins. This made sin inevitable, but this did not deter the ALMIGHTY as HE already had a plan in place to deal with what seemed an impossible situation. This is why GOD knew Adam would sin and the second Adam would not.
Just because you know something is going to happen does not always mean you are the cause of it.
