Regarding your belief that God can't be wrong, I'd like to revisit the questions I posed to you in another thread. I hope you'll answer them this time.
If God is never wrong about anything, then why does the Bible state that he regretted creating human beings as well as every animal, every...
Your post reminded me of what I wrote earlier in this thread, as well as another one similar to the topic at hand. I'd like to repost what I wrote.
Regarding the biblical God's perverse and malicious side:
The biblical God is portrayed as a loving heavenly father, but I think that he is far...
Speaking from the perspective of the OP's religion and the Bible.
Let me begin by stating that according to the Bible, God is infinite power (Psalm 147:5; Job 42:2; Daniel 2:21), infinite knowledge (Psalm 139:1–6; Isaiah 46:9–10; 1 John 3:20), and is present everywhere simultaneously (Psalm...
If God is never wrong about anything, then why does the Bible state that he regretted creating human beings as well as every animal, every creature that creeps on the ground, and the birds of the air (Genesis 6:6-7)? There are other scriptures in the Bible that highlight his other regrets in...
When I was a street preacher, I used to remind other Christians of 1 Peter 3:15–16 whenever they treated atheists with contempt, which frequently included false accusations of hating and/or rebelling against God, as well as extremely sarcastic remarks whenever any atheist attempted to reason...
I agree. I see humans writing to themes and drama, talking about our hopes and fears. Enjoying a good GvE melodrama. Some good raunchy sex scenes. A little gross-you-out body horror.
You just reminded me ==> Have you ever read The Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem? :) Here is a small excerpt.
Well said, in my opinion. And in response, I'd like to re-post what I wrote earlier in this thread.
According to the Bible, God is omniscient (Psalm 139:1–6; Isaiah 46:9–10; 1 John 3:20), omnipotent (Psalm 147:5; Job 42:2; Daniel 2:21), and omnipresent (Psalm 139:7–10; Isaiah 40:12; Colossians...
Let us assume for a moment that the Bible is accurate and that the biblical God exists.
According to the Bible, God is omnipotent (Psalm 147:5; Job 42:2; Daniel 2:21), omniscient (Psalm 139:1–6; Isaiah 46:9–10; 1 John 3:20), and omnipresent (Psalm 139:7–10; Isaiah 40:12; Colossians1:17). And...
According to the Bible, God is omniscient (Psalm 139:1–6; Isaiah 46:9–10; 1 John 3:20), omnipotent (Psalm 147:5; Job 42:2; Daniel 2:21), and omnipresent (Psalm 139:7–10; Isaiah 40:12; Colossians1:17). And also, according to Genesis 6:6-7, God regretted creating not only mankind but also every...
In response to your post, I'd like to repost what I wrote in another thread earlier today because I think it coincides with what you said.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." - John 3:16
This...
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." - John 3:16
This verse claims that God loves the world. But is that actually true? I ask because of Proverbs 16:4, which states he creates wicked people for...
He didn't MAKE people evil -- he allowed them to become wicked if that is where they were going. It's kind of proven with Moses and Pharaoh and Pharaoh's continual refusal to listen to God's voice through Moses. Pharaoh and his warriors didn't make it.
Out of curiosity, were you referring to Proverbs 16:4?
KJV: "The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil."
NIV: "The LORD works out everything to its proper end— even the wicked for a day of disaster."
ESV: "The LORD has made everything for its purpose...
The Supremacy of the Son of God
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him...
If God can never be mistaken, then why did he regret creating mankind as well as every animal, every creature that creeps on the ground, and the birds of the air? Genesis 6:6-7 states: "6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the...
The Greek preposition πρὸ does not mean GREATER as you say.
You are changing the meaning of the preposition before when talking about time.
It could mean also in front of or ahead of, practically the same when talking about place.
Very few times it can be used to express some priority with...
