You continue discussion with me in the same 'un-anointed' spirit. You are being rude. Just re-read your first post and this one. If you don't agree with rude, understand that it is the lessor of another word I am not using .Voilá, your standard MO, start the name calling, and trying to put the blame on me when you can't answer the question, there is nothing rude, ugly or silly about asking you to authenticate what you preach on a Christian, Bible believing Forum.
And stop trying to categorize me, I've never read the works of Calvin or Arminius, and truthfully I'm not really interested in man's viewpoint, ...there's or yours.
So far, in this thread, you have stated that Einstein didn't know what he was talking about so that means the NASA Space Program was a hoax, because they used his work,
you believe God is a creation rather than the Creator,
"We '''''assume''''' God knows everything. Does anyone know how God was made? Does anyone know God's lifespan?"
You don't believe it was the foreordained plan of God for His Son to be crucified at the hands of men, Acts 2:23
"God limits His omniscience for us. Why is that such a surprise to any of us? Did God not do that when He went to the cross / put Himself at the mercy of humans and the devil?"
then first you say there is time in Heaven,
"You are not even trying to visualize what happens in heaven. Yes, time works differently in heaven."
then you say there isn't time in Heaven,
"There is no time in heaven...,"
There's lots more, but I thinks that's enough for people to determine what is Truth,
Did you even read 1 Jn 2:27, do you understand what it means?
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
True, born-again children of God have the Holy Spirit indwelling them, it's part of His job to teach His children the Truth, so when someone says they are speaking in the Name of the Lord and it's isn't true, ...notice the part about a lie, it's the Greek word
pseudos, just like in English it means false, pretend, pseudos comes from the Greek root word that means to utter an untruth or attempt to deceive by falsehood, so naturally, since the Holy Spirit can only speak Truth He witnesses to our spirits that what we are hearing is not from Him, ...amazing how many here don't understand that.
So, I'm not being rude, ugly or silly to ask you the question where did the Holy Spirit say in the Word that God is not omniscience, but rather following the teaching He has given us to substantiate everything we hear with the Word, Acts, 17:11, 1 The 5:21, IIsa 8:20, /p>
so, can you please provide for us a Scripture, not you opinions or conclusions to authenticate what you are saying.
Your conclusions are hard to respond to because they not making sense. Example: I say this ''We '''''assume''''' God knows everything. Does anyone know how God was made? Does anyone know God's lifespan?" and then you say ''You don't believe it was the foreordained plan of God for His Son to be crucified at the hands of men, Acts 2:23''. ??????? All I am saying is that an ant can't fully grasp God. I am not saying Jesus was not predestined.....It seems you are not reading my posts.
Please just try relax and use common sense in reading the scripture. Lets focus the discussion:
Scripture says '''Whomsoever will believe''. ''Whomsoever will carry their cross''. That translates into God not knowing that justpassingthru, John, Paul and Bob will decide to carry their cross. Hence it translates into God being surprised when they do.
Scripture says ''God changed His mind''. That translates into a decision being made, new info presented and the original decision amended....which translates into God not being totally omniscient.....this being the only example of limited omniscience tells us something further...namely that it seems to only be in His dealings with us and the angels, his 'free will' creations that He limits His omniscience.
Am I saying that I am 100% certain of this? OF COURSE NOT. HOW can an ANT grasp the mind of God? BUT that IS where scripture is pointing. You have not even come close to proving me wrong. You are just raising Calvinist type predestination arguments that fail badly in proper debate.
Please try understand that I am not fighting with you / I do not want to fight with you on this. You and I both love the Lord and can be forgiven for both our beliefs.
