Congratulations
Now go away and find another website to troll :wave2:
Wow. Yes, I see it now. You have a hard time with facts. Check the site stats, you’re a newbie compared to me. Calling me a troll was quite a fail.
Why don’t you have me on ignore yet?
More than I can remember. I think i first discovered the site in 2003, joined shortly after.
...continued on my lappy:
name changes reflected in my current name
early and longest and most abrasive: "koban"
followed by an attempt to reinvent my online persona: "some other dude" (sod)
came back as "resurrected"
then an amalgam of my previous names: "resodko" (my favorite)
then a few years ago, i just flipped it around to form "ok doser"
each break was necessitated by my need to be absent from online activity - mostly around periods when I was back in school - i would burn my old account, then when my circumstances changed, create a new one
It states many things about Gods nature, and you know I place God is Love as the best three words in the Bible.
But, the Bible is also clear both by plain words, and Jesus’ teaching, that Gods nature is Omnipotent, Omnicient, and Omnipresent. That means God is all knowing, all powerful and everywhere present.
These are things I believe. So, it seems apparent to me that people who say they believe in God would also appreciate these aspects of belief regarding Gods nature. Yet, there is an enormous disconnect between myself and the believers here.
If people believe that God made the universe, that means he’s responsible or aware of every positive n of every single element, all the way down to subatomic particles, and even other parts of nature that we humans aren’t even aware.
Of course he could make people disappear. He can do anything. He could literally instantly dissolve the entire universe in a moments time. You are right, IMO, that is probably not how he rolls. But to think that capability is beyond him is inconsistent with clear Bible teaching.
Which just brings it to the real question doesn’t it?
Why does “evil” exist if God is good?
What’s your answer to it?
Wow. Yes, I see it now. You have a hard time with facts. Check the site stats, you’re a newbie compared to me. Calling me a troll was quite a fail.

Yes, God controls all things.
Adam chose to acquire knowledge of evil , thereby corrupting his free will and bringing this Godly gift into bondage to Satan rather than into obedient service to God.God created man with a free will...the ability to choose evil over good.
Agreed.
This confession of Sovereign control must include the willfulness inherent in all mankind,and all the resultant historical/human decisions throughout time.
Right?
Adam chose to acquire knowledge of evil , thereby corrupting his free will and bringing this Godly gift into bondage to Satan rather than into obedient service to God.
Thus the will of man remains . . No longer free.
But God remains in Sovereign control of all.
Doser has had many different "socks"....lots of different names he's posted under. :chuckle:
No, I don't agree, Nang. Good to see you, though.
Things are not people.
Adam chose to sin, but he could later choose good.
Cain had a choice. The Lord told Cain quite plainly he could choose. That "sin lieth at the door" means it's always near at hand...not that it has become a part of his being.
Oi!not socks, as they've always been used one at a time - just different usernames over the years
artie's done the same
as has stripe, and many many others
Let's get back on topic.and as far as total numbers of different usernames, betcha sozo wins
Mocking McGuyver?
:mock: Guyver.
Scripture says that the Law is good. But we often think of it as bad. Why is this so?
There is something that the Law cannot do, save you. But Jesus can do that (save you). So is the Law inferior to Jesus? I am talking about the Law of Moses. God's law is also found in the New Covenant, but people debate about if there should be any punishment or penalty for wrong done.
How is the Law good? In that it points out sin. Is this sin all sin that can be repented of? Can a person repent of anything and be saved? What do you think? If we did not have the Law could we still point out sin?
Also, is it bad to preach the Law in light of the preaching of Jesus?
Shalom (Peace).

Good when its used lawfully 1 Tim 1:8
[FONT="]But we know that the law is good, if a man use it [/FONT]lawfully;
Rom 7:16
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
The Law of Moses is Good when used by the power of the Holy Spirit to lead the sinner to Christ !

[FONT="]For had ye believed [/FONT]Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
Good thing I'm not a liar, then.
