Are ALL Things “POSSIBLE” With GOD?

Why does the “HOLY BIBLE” say anything is “POSSIBLE” with GOD, and at the same time say some things are “IMPOSSIBLE”?

Matthew 19:26 (KJV): But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Mark 10:27 (KJV): And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Luke 18:27 (KJV): And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. 


Hebrews 6:18 (KJV): That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

So which one is TRUE? Is NOTHING “IMPOSSIBLE”, or is something “IMPOSSIBLE”?

If you still DON’T “UNDERSTAND”, then READ the following below.

It is “IMPOSSIBLE” for GOD to do anything APART from his “CHARACTER”.

Luke 1:26-38 (KJV):

26. And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

27. To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

28. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

29. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

30. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

31. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

32. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33. And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

34. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

35. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

36. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

37. For with God nothing shall be impossible.

38. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

From Hannah J. Paul;

In the first instance, Hebrews tells us that it is impossible for God to lie. That is a fact. It is also impossible for him to violate a covenant, break a promise, lower his standards, violate his own perfect justice. It is also quite impossible for God to die. So then, what does Luke 1:37 mean?

Take a look at the context. Here, Gabriel is answering Mary's question of how she can possibly become pregnant and give birth when she is not sexually active. The angel explains that this is not impossible with God, who can easily overcome this seeming obstacle. The angel assures her by telling her that even her relative Elizabeth - barren and well past the age of childbearing - is already six months' pregnant. From man's viewpoint, it was impossible for Elizabeth to conceive and bear a child. Yet, she is three months from delivery!

Another example is found at Matthew 19:26. Jesus had just finished explaining that it will be very difficult for a rich man to attain salvation. The surprised disciples asked; "Who really, then, can be saved?" Jesus told them that with God all things were possible. Within the context of attaining salvation, even a rich man could enter the kingdom of God with God's divine help.

So then, some things are actually impossible for God as described at the outset. On the other hand, what may seem to be impossible from man's perspective is quite easily done in the power of God.

From me:

So;

"But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.'-Matthew 19:26 (KJV), but ALL things are NOT "POSSIBLE" with GOD, because it is "IMPOSSIBLE" for God to lie, because;

"God is not a man, that he should lie;"-Numbers 23:19 (KJV)
