So The Bible has been altered? Any chance then the red letters were altered as well MM? You know, because that is all that you read. I now fully understand that you are being misled. Be it your own delusions or an actual demon. Either way, I feel for you. You say "I AM" because you think it is something neat to do, or you say it because you know that will get a reaction out of us true believers. When Moses was speaking to God up on the mountain, Moses asked God "And who shal I say sent me?" and God replied "Tell them I AM sent you". Is that part in red in your Bible? You are not God, therefor you are not "I Am". God knows what we will choose to do, but He did not make our decisions for us. I can't comprehend why a few of you can't understand this. Maybe you are just truly lost.
Yes but today's text basically says what the original text says.... look up the Dead Sea Scrolls to understand more.
Just a few words translated differently makes a big differences. Read KJV, then NIV. You will see a difference. Now, compare that to even older texts. That's just the way it is with translations.
Does anyone else see MM for the nut he is? Now he is saying that he reads more than just the red letters. Wow. And when did I lie? MM, you need help my friend. What are you talking about now? Scan? Are you sayign that sometime in the near future I will be scanned? Anyways. You used to say "I AM" without the whole STARLIGHT thing. Whatever that is. You know what, I'll just go word for word with you on this one. Allow me to start over. You did say that. Yup you did, that you read only the red letters because they were the only ones important. Guess that scan really screwed you up in the head huh? Can't remeber what you type? I never said I fully understood you. I said I fully understand that you are being mislead. Did that scan affect your ability to read as well? Not before you didn't. You used to say "I say I AM because I AM". I never called you God. Also, God has dealt with far worse than the both of us, and his patience is greater than the two of us could comprhend. Of course, when it wares out, you end up with floods and such. Well, no more floods like the big one, but you get what I am saying. Well, I hope you get it. Are you sure you are o mentaly after that scan? Perhaps you should go get another "scan" and make sure everything is ok "upstairs". As far as seeign the lake of fire, well, I know from scripture that those in hell will be able to see Heaven, but I do not know if those in Heaven will see Hell. Maybe I will, maybe I wont. I'll just have to wait until I am in Heaven to find out. As far as my house being scanned. Are you sayign that the government, God, or something like God is scanning peoples houses? Was that on CNN and I just missed it or what? I do know The Gospel. I read it and study it. Actaly, I find myself refering to The Bible more and more with discusions involving you. Thanks for that. Also, you lie a lot on these forums. Often you say one thing, then say something else. Now, I don't want to take anything out of context here, but are you implying that there is a possability that some of the things you have said here are a direct result of this so called scan that you have never before mentioned until just now? Remeber, you big test happened some 3 years ago. You have mentioned it so many times, I just find it strange that you have never mentioned anything about a scan. Perhaps the scan altered your ability to remeber things? Actualy, God did see this one comming. He mentions non believers lack of ability to understand. You love who for doing what? Scanning you? Are these aliens? Government officials dressed all in black that carry a small shiny phalic object that flashes in your face? Ok I will have fun geting scanned???? Again with the test. Was it like a pop quiz? Or was it more like the tests that Job went through? As for my name. Yes, my name is a referal to a bandit. Actualy, it is from the movie Smokie and the Bandit. You see, bandit was quite tricky and able to slip in unoticed and often slip away unoticed. Well, I have been banned from this forum several times for reasons unknown to me(I can only assume because I refused to follow along like a lemming and my views differed from the powers that be). So, with my awsome understanding of the internet and poorly run forums on said internet, I am able to sneak back into the forums I so love and debate my heart out with folks just like you. Of course now that I have revealed that, I can only assume that I will soon be banned again. So, if this name dispears and another name pops up and seems to know what he is talking about and has an understanding of what is being discussed in these forums without having a huge number of posts, you will know it is me. Besides, I will pm those that I trust with my new screen name. Goodnight folks, I am off to bed. Gee, I really hope it is my house that gets scanned next. *looks out window for a flying saucer and a red beam o light"
Okey, alls I'm gonna say is that you can't have "predestination" and "freedom of choice" at the same time. They're antonyms. So, logically(I kinda hesitate to use that word cuz I haven't studie alot of logic, but I have heard that Montey Python sketch), if there is a God, 'he' can't be both all-knowing and posess free will. If 'he' was all-knowing he would know all the actions and decisions he and by proxy, us humans, would take.
By definition. omnipotence- An attribute of God alone. It is the quality of having all power. God has the power to do anything he wants. (Psalm115:3) omnipresense- An attribute of God alone. It is the quality of being present in all places at all times. God is not bound by time or space. (Jer.23:23,24) omniscience- An attribute of God alone. It is the quality of having all knowledge. There is nothing that God does not know. (Isaiah40:14) All three of these attributes TOGETHER represent the nature of the christian/jewish/islamic god and his relation to creation. Definitions taken from www.carm.net/dictionary.htm
I find it interesting that you've omitted parts of definitions. For example you say omnipotence is, "An attribute of God alone. It is the quality of having all power. God has the power to do anything he wants." When in fact the definition says, "An attribute of God alone. It is the quality of having all power (Psalm 115:3). He can do all things that do not conflict with His holy nature. God has the power to do anything He wants to." The senetence you've omited here better explains the meaning for the word "wants" found in the last sentence. For we know God cannot do anything (as some may be misguided into believing after reading your last post) Even the Bible reveals this e.g., Hebrews 6:18 tell us that God cannot lie. But anyway, you still haven't shown how God is incompatible with freewill.
Yeah that's what I thought it meant. It's obvious that we do not possess this sort of freewill. This is why I previously asked that original poster to clarify what he meant by the word "freewill"
Yeppers, yer right. We don't have my definition of "free will" we impose rules on ourselves so more people survive the human experiment longer.
So if god only knew the choices we would make then why create a hell to torture people in for all of eternity? He just created us so that some of us could go there? Because he did know that was going to happen and all... It just doesn't make any sense. Your religion has contradictions everywhere, it is nonsensical. But it has what it takes to stay around like it has all the time. An answer to the "why am I here" question. Or the "where am I going after this" question. Some sort of reward for being good. Something bad that happens to you if you don't follow it...etc... All of the far-reaching, long-lasting religions follow the same basic formula. Doesn't mean that they are true, or that yours is the true one out of the bunch.
