An infinite amount of time. If you have troubles understanding that, I recommend reading this section of an article on God being outside of time, which deals with how God crossed an infinity: https://kgov.com/infinity (The above is a link to a specific point of the article found at...

Sorry, first of all, I'm not Jewish, and don't hold to their beliefs. I hold to what the Bible says. Second, the Bible is quite clear, killing a child is wrong because he is made in God's image. Denying that children in the womb are not human beings is to deny the humanity of Christ, because...

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." There's nothing inherently negative about fearing something, especially not God. For example, if you are climbing a mountain, having a fear of cornices will deter, if not prevent, you from going too close to the edge of a cliff with snow on...

As someone who understands the Bible, it's not a mystery (currently) that the Body of Christ is not Israel (though many are still confounded by their doctrine into thinking that it is), and that there are two different churches, the first being the nation of Israel, the second being the Body of...

Well, no. Rather, God created an autonomous creature that He willed to have free will, the ability to choose, and that creature, Adam, chose to rebel against God. God's will was to create beings that had wills of their own. What you said implies, inherently, that Adam did NOT have a will of...

I'm gonna have to side with marke on this one, at least on this part. Otherwise, why did Christ say "Eli, Eli, Lama sabachthani"? ("My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?") Christ being separated from the Father at His death on the Cross is rather foundational to the entirety of Christianity...

How about in Biblical terms?

Are you an Arminian? Which makes no sense whatsoever. God remembers the past, because He is in the present, and is looking forward to the future.

Sorry, I'm an Open Theist. I don't believe that God "saw the future" or "predestines everything." I believe God predetermines some things, and is omnicompetent to bring those things to pass, in spite of the things man does.

Homeschooling is better.

I left FB years ago. Never looked back. Never wanted to.

If everyone else sounds confusing, maybe you're the one who isn't understanding.

No, that's you reading your preconceived notions into the text. Read it again, carefully. Also, I don't know anyone named Lex Talionis.

Have you never read the book of Jonah? God told Jonah that Nineveh was going to be destroyed in 40 days. That was a very specific prophecy. 40 days later, and no destruction came upon Nineveh. Prophecy failed. Yet God wasn't lying when He said it would be destroyed. How do you explain it...

Simply because He can do new things. A timeless God cannot do that.

Are you aware that many prophecies failed in the Bible, and they were given to men directly by God? The vision John saw was a prophecy of things to come. Yet it may or may not yet happen if the circumstances change, or what happens may be different than what John saw. In no way does God...

Is the fetus in the womb of a human woman a human fetus? Sorry, but that's redefining terms. You don't get to do that. As Jefferson said, foetus is latin for baby. Therefore, you are now claiming that A is not-A. You are being irrational.

Except that it does. Quite a lot, actually. https://americanrtl.org/what-does-the-bible-say-about-abortion The Bible calls the baby in the womb a "child." It affirms that if the baby in the womb is killed during the commission of a crime (and not the mother), the criminal should be put to...

Because you say so?

Thread is turning into mud slinging. Locking the thread.
