    It takes a lot of reasoning to accept miracles.

    Since you're doing a genetic fallacy, I'll post the article itself: Occultic techniques in the Hebrew Scriptures: There are a number of instances in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) where respected biblical leaders were involved with various black magic, divination and occultic activities...

    The New Covenant was taken from us possibly?

    We diverge. It appears that in context it is saying that receiving wisdom requires humility, that its better to not be a king but to appease them, because they are murderers. "Better a patient person than a warrior." "Gray hair is a crown of splendor." In ancient times pride and a good death...

    Literally The Bible

    Yeah, your rogue interpretation of scripture means little to me. "The Lord has made everything [to accommodate itself and contribute] to its own end and His own purpose--even the wicked [are fitted for their role] for the day of calamity and evil." --Proverbs 16:4 (Amplified Bible) "And not...

    If prophecy or seeing the future were true... think about it...

    The Bible says Job 14:5 Since his days are determined and the number of his months is with You, and since You have set limits that he cannot exceed, If we allow the Bible to interpret itself - speak for itself, that is - I think it will help us come to the correct conclusion. The Psalmist spoke...

    If prophecy or seeing the future were true... think about it...

    Since a man's days are already determined, and the number of his months is wholly in Your control, and he cannot pass the bounds of his allotted time --Job 14:5 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whom You choose and cause to come near, that he may dwell in Your courts...

    I'm sick of this forum.

    Correct. Like the passage I quoted in my previous post, God directs our steps, but God does not choose our steps. Man plans and chooses what he wants to happen but it only happens if it is in accordance with God’s will. The final decision is wholly of the Lord. So, you are saying that...

    I'm sick of this forum.

    No valid ones, anyway. Then maybe you should review them, because they most certainly deny your free will. Shall we review a few together? A man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure. --Proverbs 16:9 The lot is cast into the lap, but the decision is...

    I'm sick of this forum.

    I don't care what you posted when, or who agrees with what, nonsense is still nonsense. Free will implies the ability to do something other than that which God knows one will do--otherwise the choice is not truly free. If you choose to stay in a locked room, that's not what one would commonly...

    All knowing God

    Correct. Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. For He foreordained us...

    Evolution, Atheism, and Religious Beliefs

    What poppycock is this? You're suggesting that random events cannot be predestined? My "belief system" says otherwise: "The lot is cast into the lap, but the decision is wholly of the Lord [even the events that seem accidental are really ordered by Him]." --Proverbs 16:33 (Amplified Bible)...

    Is God Omniscient as people say?

    Dude, have you ever heard of paragraphs? Ok, let's get started here... Well, I wouldn't want to debate the merits of Princess Diana's Vibrating Minerals Theory of Existence, since she's not here to defend herself, but words are only a "vibration" when they are in a medium that propogates...

    Is God Omniscient as people say?

    Do you then agree then with the scholars who say right after their creation some angels staight out rejected god? Or they were convinced by Lucifer to leave their domain? Or both?

    Omniscience is impossible.

    Just not THIS Bible, I guess... The beast that you saw [once] was, but [now] is no more, and he is going to come up out of the Abyss (the bottomless pit) and proceed to go to perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been recorded in the Book of Life from the foundation...

    Can a religion be said to be 'true' if only 1 out of a million can do it?

    Wheww! That's the best answer I've ever heard! I'm gonna be chewing on that. I suppose this kind of answer is the one Jesus told his disciples in private? (not sure where, but you seem to be able to tell us what [was said]?- perhaps something along the lines of Ephesians/Corinthians?) "So...

    Can a religion be said to be 'true' if only 1 out of a million can do it?

    You're thinking of Jeremiah 1:5. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." I wouldn't even say that is the strongest...

    Is God Omniscient as people say?

    I wanted to ask you (and all of you), why do you quote scrupture as a native language? Scripture does not speak for itself.

    Is God Omniscient as people say?

    DING DING DING DING DING!!! We have a winner! You'll notice I said: "Letting" people do these things? My dear, predestination does not mean God LETS anyone do anything--predestination means that God designed everything that everyone does. He doesn't LET them, He MAKES them. I know this...

    Can God actually see us?

    I don't think it's all that mysterious how God knows everything we will ever do--if the Bible is to be believed, it's because He created us all to do those things in the first place. Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they...

    Proponent of Rational Faith

    Deeje, I'm not sure that you and I are on a level playing field here. It seems like we may not always agree on the same rules of rational discourse. For instance, I put forward a reasonable inductive argument to explain how the major world religions could have all been originally based in...
