Re: Tensions between the Old Testament and Jesus

I seems I should underline the whole Bible , as so much seems to get missed. With all your verses, how come you didn't quote verse 2:5 from my post? '... in him the love of God has truly been perfected...' The LOVE of God is demonstrated and understood by His sacrifice, and not known perfectly apart...

Re: How many books of life are there? When was it written?

Howdy. Just as God uses anthropomorphic terms to describe Himself (and His ability to remember), so God uses something like theo-pomorphic terms occasionally in speaking of some angelic beings, often sarcastically . We are told God is not a man, and there is Only one God, these are principles. All o...

Re: Tensions between the Old Testament and Jesus

My very first objection to Paidion on this forum over 3 years ago, was over his allusion to the Law of Christ being opposed to the Law of Moses. I'm sure I stated then that the Law of Christ is simply the fulfillment of the Law of Moses (Law of God). Thus the Law ended, because it was 'fulfilled' in...

Re: How many books of life are there? When was it written?

Thanks for reminding me of Psalm 139 Robby, here is another book I remember God having: 'Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll -- are they not in your record? (Psalm 56:8) Think what you may, but I do not think God needs, or has, literal books (two books or three etc.). God can keep all the...

Re: The Apostle Paul's Conversion

Lol, no it wouldn't. What are you thinking? I never said we are not time-bound creatures (Diz) What am I thinking? I was wondering the same of you (and, that last sentence could be read two different ways). But if you agree with me that we are time bound, then so are all creation and events time bo...

Re: The Apostle Paul's Conversion

(First of all, none of this concerns the past really, it happened already and God can remember it all, no problem. This concerns future events) If God is time-bound, how can he know the future without just being either, a determinist, or a super good guesser that sometimes gets things wrong? (Diz, a...

Re: The Apostle Paul's Conversion

That is what happened in each case in which God's predictions didn't turn out as He expected (Paidion, above) (There you go again Paidion, I was really hoping to agree with you on something, but) How could you say that? In Jonah it says Jonah anticipated God would relent, that is why Jonah did not ...

Re: The Apostle Paul's Conversion

Never did I say we our in the future. Our future selves are in the future, just as our past selves are in the past Well that 'would' be saying we are in the future. Now you are suggesting we have three selves. Or, actually you would need billions of selves for each and every moment in time that God...

Re: The Apostle Paul's Conversion

'By complicating your idea of how things might work, you are creating more logical problems than are necessary' (Diz) It is not complex to point out that time is not a 'thing' (or simply a thing you can look at). Time is only a measurement of an actual real thing. If there is no actual event, then ...

Re: The Apostle Paul's Conversion

Just to prove I can't seem to get along with everybody, I am glad to say I side with Paidion here, pretty much. I understand it is almost impossible to perceive how God could predict the future on either side, or whatever camp you are in. But for me to suggest God actually see's the future, or has s...
