"And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside privately, and on the way He said to them,
Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes. And they will condemn Him to death, And deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify Him, and on the third day he will be raised." (Matt. 20:17-19)
He knew supernaturally just what was to befall Him.

Miraculously, Jesus knew of details of His death that only One who transcends time could know.
" . . . going up to Jerusalem. And as He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount which is called Olivet, He sent two of His disciples, Saying, Go into the village opposite you in which, as you are entering, you will find a colt tied, on which no man has ever yet sat; untie it and lead it here.
And if anyone asks you, Why are you untying it? thus shall you say, Because the Lord has need of it." (Luke 19:28-31)
These things happened just as Jesus foretold them (verses 32 - 35).
His death and the things surrounding it were grounded in the supernatural.

@sonship saidHi,
The death of Christ is grounded in the supernatural.
the things involved and related to the death of Christ are
grounded in the transcendent of the nature - the super natural.
The Word of God through the Bible told of these things and then something unexplainable only to us happened. Not sure God would use supernaturally to explain his will, strength and grace. I don’t think the word supernaturally is in the Bible? This is just a thought and question. I try to accept things I have no true way of understanding as Gods choice and there’s simply no way of totally understanding some things in the Bible or most since it’s a living word and means something different to each at different times. I’m not saying your right or wrong I just try to be careful when applying a sense of law when it’s God we’re talking about and how much could we really know we’re children.
@mike69 saidYou have not answered my question.
Are you going to answer?
You claim to make no judgment about God, yet claim natural. That is a judgment.
I believe God is supernatural. God existed before the natural was created. God created the natural.
Do you make a judgment of God as natural or supernatural? Do you make no judgment and claim could be either?

@eladar saidI’m heading out, but I asked what is GOD to you. I’m not asking about words we make up to describe something you have no way of understanding or ever will unless it’s Gods choice. Focus on what you know of God not trying to put him in a box.
