If you are going to define free will this way for the creation, then you also have to do the same for the creator. God is holy, without sin, so therefore he has no free will. He is just some automaton, or robot.

I don't even think it matters if Adam knew it was a sin or not. He may not have been enticed by the serpent, but he was certainly enticed by Eve. Both were enticed when it comes down to it no matter how you want to look at it. Interesting observation, although this is still like going out of...

.....well this would be an April fools joke if I've ever seen one.

The whole world isn't going to have the holy spirit. They didn't need it to speak one language before and they won't in the future. God is the author of language, so he can do with it whatever he wants, holy spirit or not.

Well this kind of explains that other scripture people love to quote.

God himself descends from heaven with his tabernacle to dwell with his creation in the end, so I would fact check your assertions of God not being able to be seen in all his glory, as he clearly will be seen by all on the new earth. Sin will no longer exist, so the circumstances will be very...

In context, 1 John 4:5-6 is simply referring to those denying the deity of Jesus in the flesh, those not of God but are of the world, they are anti-Christ. If you want this scripture to be in some way referring to the "pure language" Zephaniah referred to that doesn't even occur until after his...

As far as the pure language bit is concerned, we have to remember that the world spoke one language before God changed it into many at the tower of Babel. Quite a few people believe that this may be referring to the Lord restoring that one language or a language similar to it so that all tongues...

It should make you uncomfortable if not outright annoyed like it does me. If there is no interpreter, then he has no business opening his mouth to begin with. And I'm sure the second beast of Revelation will make lots of believers very unconformable with his "dragon" speech.

Yep, guidelines clearly set forth by Paul that are not followed by a lot of churches today. And, there is another thing that people need to be aware of concerning tongues. As far as I can tell, the only one that scripture implies truly will speak in an "unknown tongue" is the second beast of...

What is an unknown tongue??? According to Paul, someone speaking in tongues is deemed as "unknown" unless there is an interpreter, and if there is no interpreter, he is actually supposed to keep his mouth shut during church service and keep it between him and God only as it edifies no one but...

So the idea proposed here is that no one knew of the text until it magically popped into existence during the 16th century. Is that the idea here??? Even though there were plenty of early Christians who quoted it or alluded to the text to some degree going all the way back to the 2nd/3rd...

Never said it was above him. The Bible from start to finish is HIS testimony, and that testimony is not beneath you.

:rolleyes:.......The likeness of God on his throne

Well, whats wrong with my mind being made up on something that is plainly stated?? When the Bible says that there are three that bear record in heaven as Father, Word and Holy Spirit, I have no reason to believe otherwise. One cannot exist without the other just like the body of the earthly...

What if God created Jesus to be the creator? Well, he didn't. Jesus is the word, and the word in essence is God and was with him in the beginning. Therefore, he didn't create himself. He is the first that ever was and the last that ever will be. Before him there was no gods formed, neither shall...

It is stated numerous times that "God is an all consuming fire" and many believers will take that literally. But when Ezekiel describes his actual appearance as basically a consuming fire in the form of a man sitting on a throne, they will do a complete 180 and claim its not literal. Which one...

Remember, the word of God is beneath him......but meanwhile he'll quote it when it suits him.

The scriptures that speak of Gods wings are simply metaphors for being under his protection. Ezekiel's vision is no metaphor, it is a eye witness account of Gods throne, what he looks like and the four living creatures thereof. There is no comparison between the two whatsoever. He saw it and...

No, its taught in school as "chemical evolution" today in a way that leaves the student to believe that it actually could have occurred, just like the big bang is taught in school as "cosmic evolution". Very little has changed even today.
