Re: Rational Choice
Box A only: 3 Both boxes:2 I thank everyone who has participated in this experiment! Your choice is to be based on the fact that "it's all legit", and so for that reason I have transferred Suzana's answer to "Box A only" as she indicated that that would be her choice if it were "all legit". I heard...

Re: some missing books of The Bible
Jill, you can read the book of Enoch online by clicking on the following link. The chapters are very short. You can find the passage quoted in Jude in chapter 1 verse 9. The translation makes it a little different. In the book I have at home, this quote is the whole of chapter 2. Here is the way the...

Re: when Revelation was written
For this vision was not seen a long time ago, but almost in my own life time, AT THE END OF DOMITIAN'S REIGN. The ambiguity is in knowing what actually was seen. Several times, I have encountered this idea about there being some ambiguity as to what was seen. But Irenaeus' statement is not at all a...

Re: Begotten before all ages
You are right that normally , the genitive case indicates possession. For example, in Greek "ο λογος του θεου" means "the word of God" or "God's word" where "του θεου" (of the God) is in the genitive case. However, prepositions have objects. In Greek, objects of prepositions can be in the genitive c...

Re: I CAN NOW POST GREEK CHARACTERS!
Rick, I don't know whether you are still around or not, but if so, I want you to know that I set up my keyboard as you suggested. However, I found that I could not type the following necessary Greek letters using that method: 1. The alpha with a smooth breathing ἀ 2. The alpha with a rough breathing...

Re: Can God know the Future?
Before anyone gets the chance to correct me, let me say that I was wrong in suggesting that there is causation involved here, either forwards or backwards. Please ignore my statements to that effect. I was caught up in the way I felt. Nevertheless, it is still the case that if a sentence is NOW true...

Re: Can God know the Future?
Well, that's just it. If your view is correct, God is actually NOT a PERFECT predictor. Ahhh, but He is! He is a perfect predictor because He knows all the facts. That's what I mean by "perfect predictor". I DO NOT MEAN "a predictor whose predictions always come true". That would not be a "predicto...

Re: Is UR fair to those who believe NOW?
Paul. By suggesting that this parable may be applicable, I wasn't implying that it concerned both "saved" and "unsaved" people. I was trying to show that just as those who worked in the vineyard all day thought it was unfair that those who joined in the work at the last hour received the same wages,...

Re: Calvinism and Universalism
By the way, you see the Father and Son as two individuals, unless I misunderstand you. How then is it we are indwelt by one Spirit, rather than two? It is because the two individuals share the same Spirit. They also share the name "Yahweh" Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire...
