Who are you most interesting and liked or love to hate characters? Which ones most amaze you, or make you laugh? Or horrify you? Which are wise, brave, admirable?
Those are only examples of movies I liked. I plan to watch Keys of the Kingdom by A J Cronin.
And realistic characters in any situation are human on the inside. Myers Briggs.
Interesting, I'd like to watch them, and see the longest day again.
What about Bible and Gospel characters? Jesus, Moses, Thomas, Peter, God the Father, Michael...?
You have not succeeded at proving I have no factual argument except to yourself. I suppose this argument is 200 years old has played out many times, and there is an old Lutheran and Catholic... explanations you do not want to quote here. If I thought it was necessary I'd look for the old...
God if you want to say designed sin, it was not by pushing it into being, but by observing trillions of options of flow charts of actions of potential beings. And then choosing the best flow chart to create.
Adam was capable of righteous commitments. It was possible he could have done well, as...
Little ones, fetuses through to children, if they die, are taken into the light of life. But the same people or even their identical twins, may miss out on eternal life if they die much later. Something happens inside in response to grace as we get older, we lose childlike trust. It is not that...
Lucifer had what he needed to be a perfect angel, as in Hebrews 6:6, he had everything and knowledge. In those times, there was no blood of Jesus. As God created him, he turned out well. He was able to choose for himself and chose evil. If God used some other resource whether in knowledge or...
The cross is the foolishness of God, neither the Father or Son wanted it.
When some of the angels fell, it hurt God, no place was found for them any longer. Hell was created. The fires of Hell bring out the most from the nature of evil, that God can't tolerate in His presence.
God does not...
God knew from various perfect foresightful arrays that Lucifer would sin, He hated it, and chose the least damaging array with finality of defeat for the workers of iniquity. That is why I mention God choosing to create angels and not create some others. God is wise, but hypothetically, had the...
Lucifer only designed sin.
God wants us to choose for ourselves. So He cannot make the decision for us or against us.
Lucifer came from God, perfect, Satan is his own choice of character, apart from God's will and design.
So...
-God creates Lucifer and people.
-Lucifer has free will and a giant...
Lucifer and his tree of knowledge of good and evil with an agreement instilled sin in him. He also wanted equality with God by stealing. God didn't want his death, a feat of Lucifer the Devil, the accuser of the brethren. God's design, God's son, Satan's design, son of the Devil. Sin is a nature...
I think God gives us a free choice, that was the way it was in the beginning with Adam, now we have sin living in us and blindness. God can give us vision and salvation, for the Greeks who first read Acts and met Paul, some of them directly benefited from spiritual vision and others indirectly...
From the KJV
Hebrews 6:1-12
1Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead...
God allows free will and does not override it by force. You have not because you ask not.
Looking at the fall of the angels of death and the fall of Adam and Eve God tests us. There is Job and the Our Father. Lead us not into temptation. We don't live in a simulation, matter is real and people...
This happened to someone I know. It broke his heart. Atheists ask why is abortion bad if the fetuses go on to a better world anyway? I suppose they don't get to know their parents and earn rewards...
