    Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

    Do any other poster's text flag as AI generated, or is it just @Douglas Fossett ? Do mine? What I mean is, I can prompt AI myself and tell it to tell me what it thinks. I can do that with my own thoughts, I don't need someone on TOL telling me what their AI thought of my post, I can do that...

    The myth of the "early church"

    God doesn't dwell in temples made with hands. $$ Ac 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, $$ Ac 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; The...

    What happened at Pentecost?

    Pentecost is popularly and customarily celebrated as the Church's metaphorical birthday in Catholicism, but it's not dogma. You don't have to believe the Church was born on Pentecost in AD 33 to be a faithful and practicing in full communion Catholic. I'm a faithful and practicing in full...

    Nice. I think 'pretarded' or 'proto-tarded' could also work.

    THE CHURCH DID NOT BEGIN AT PENTECOST

    $$ Lu 24:44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me. $$ Lu 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that...

    The cigar lounge

    Canadian Club is an incredible value at 15 USD for a handle around here on sale. It's palatable enough to take neat or on the rocks. Most palatable best bang for your buck if you're a volume drinker (I'm not anymore).

    The New York Times; Feighk and Gheigh

    He did. The guy capitalized his opportunities. He showed us how it can be done, even for a mediocre talent like him, it can be done, with hard work, determination, putting your mind to it, and President Trump's favorite personal quality; persistence. I mean outright spunk and confidence too...

    We the voters just need to change. Tale as old as time. Politics.

    My Video Chat With Atheist Dr. Ron On His New YouTube Channel. (need help)

    Oh you're a piece of history then (seriously). I never personally interacted with him, even though from time to time over the years he would post on TOL. I may have replied to one of his posts once, but he really only rarely posted so he didn't reply to lots of other posters as well.

    The continued policing problem in America.

    Exactly. The quality and performance of our police, our walking Constitution, our incarnate laws, is a reflection on who hires and fires. You didn't fire this guy? You hired him and you didn't then fire him? Incompetent boob. DEI. Captured by the Left. But who hires and fires he who hires...

    Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

    Yes. Yes. You have a ram who happens to be stuck, he can't move, Abraham only needs to waltz over and grab him. We're supposed to think, under Open Theism, that this is a coincidence. Just really lucky.

    Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

    I've prompted AI with original content and had it rewrite it. It came out as distinctively AI even though the content was mine and original, the way AI words things is distinctive and identifiable. Like when a content creator says that she's going to articulate the contours of something, I...

    Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

    Yes we can. My point is that while I am unusual in being able to shift my theology qualitatively, categorically, and in step changes, that my prima facie lived experience of your theology is that it makes God look pathetic to me. You're right to push back and ask whether it's justified that...

    This picture is showing that while we are close enough to the star we call the Sun, for its warmth and brightness, we are too close for all its ejecta, which is, some of it, fatal. I don't mean instantly fatal, but chronically. It's bad for life to be this close to a star. But lo and behold...

    If He didn't know the answer to the question when He asked it the whole interpretation of the scene is different to me and conflicts with how I've always understood it, all the way from my youth. I'm OK with such traumatic shifts in how I read the Scripture. I can countenance the possibility...

    Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

    Carrying over from Fidderent Stuff I agree, and I've always agreed, and this is why I constantly advise that you should watch¹ The Game with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, because this is the whole premise of the movie. You can do what is indistinguishable on paper from predetermining and...

    Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

    Agreed. When you subject this passage to the same scrutiny Open Theists subject "Now I know" to, the necessary inference is that God foreknew that David would incriminate himself. That was obv the setup. God knew that David wouldn't detect that it was a setup, and David didn't, he walked...
