Jude 2

Do we have a set time to die? Dose God know the day and time that will happen?

No. But we do have to die (unless we are among those who are alive and remain at the catching away).

Does God know the day and time that will happen?

Yes. But generally speaking it is not a time he determined. Rather it is an event He foreknew.

???? not a time he determined, but an event he foreknew that sounds the same to me.

How is it not???

I thought the Bible said we all have a set time to die.

Well, for instance, just because I know what my wife is going to do today does not mean I determined for her that she would do such.

Some read it that way. I do not. What it does say is that it is appointed to man once to die and then the judgment. The appointment is simply death. IT is not a marked date on a calendar that says Poimen dies this day at this hour, etc.

I don't know about you but my date of leaving this earth has been set at June 24, 2100. I will be blessed with being one of the oldest men to have ever lived. But dang, I'll just miss my 116th birthday.

Brother Chris I would Challenge you upon this.

Psa 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Jam 4:15 For that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Both seem to be rather straight and to the point concerning Gods action in our lives: HE takest away our breath (Psa104) He wills that we live (James 4).

I have been told there is a set time for us all to die. That no mater what on that day and that time we will die.

If you are on a train that derails and every one but you dies, that means that everyone else has that same day a time to die. And they were all in the same place at the same time.

I don't know..

off topic alert...

but according to Death Clock I will die August 7, 2050, and I have over a billion seconds left. This is taking the optimistic outlook.

time on our plane..in our sense i>e> days and years.... don't exsist to God. He knows the number of our days. He knows how. as for the "time" it is irrellevant to Him
