A simple search in the Bible can sometimes give a meaningful result. In my case it was two words and a range. I set the range to the whole Bible and put in the words “Impossible” and “God”. The result in the NIV was: 14. These verses had both words in them. God. Impossible. Then I set the range to the New Testament. The result was 14. Yes. Did God still do impossible things in the Old Testament? Yes. When God speaks he says “ME” instead of God for example. Searches can be powerful, but they can also be misleading. If you are familiar with Boolean searches, understand this. (restrict your terms with quotes: “God Impossible” will only produce phrases in that exact order. Take the quotes off and you return every passage on the internet that contains both words regardless of context) Here are the verses I found: Matt. 19:26; Mark 10:27; Luke 18:27; Acts 2:24; Heb. 6:18; 11:6 (hover over each ref with curser to see the content) God does impossible things. Jesus Himself said so. After the resurrection, the apostles declared it so. While we know we should be careful with our searches, we can also know that God can do anything! Praise God!
