Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

I guess one could think of it as a logical conclusion to a set course of history set in motion, by say for example, the Devil's rebellion, Adam and Eve Fall... ... but Free Will would indicate it did not have to go this way... …and also God knowing what He would and would not allow--- "the Devil is ...

Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

Also another thought. I was just listening to the public domain librivox audio recording of the YLT of 1 Peter 1 “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the choice sojourners of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to a foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanct...

Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

Some philosophers have argued that this fact about God’s life requires that he be timeless. First I want to say that all we really know about God we can only get from reliable sources like the Bible as well as from the Holy Spirit which Dizerner is very right about. There seems to be much non-conse...

Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

Also if the Open View is legitimately a crutch for me, as in its literally not the way the reality of God is, I don't care at all. And to be frank, I think the Traditional View is abhorrent, and I am so glad to have coherent way out from it. Honestly, because it helps me. Again, though, I have analy...

Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

I have not insulted you this whole time. And I was just being honest. And I would consider this more of joke than an insult. But whatever. I usually use "nutty" for joking, and other words for blunt insults. Which I don't use too much.

Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

You keep twisting my points, that's frustrating. The point is, God knowing everything is just AS simple as God somehow not knowing everything. You already admitted limiting God's knowledge somehow makes you feel better about God creating knowing suffering will happen. This means it's a stronger com...

On an unrelated topic, of a general sort of nature, I have been reading and learning about fasting, both biblically as well as from the scientific studies. Its certainty interesting that our bodies almost have a built in function to provide health/healing biological benefits for periods of fasting o...

Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

Also one more "broad" point about approaching the texts, and about the worldview we bring to the table in reading or anything in life. I learned a lot about this principle of "worldview lens" from Creation.com about viewing evidence for or against evolution/creation. I realized the SAME DATA in inse...
