Thanks for joining in, Barney. Then what of His knowledge? Do you believe He is all-knowing?

Absolutely. Consider David's sin in taking a census. 2 Samuel 24:1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 1 Chronicles 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 2...

It's Scripture. Jeremiah 18:1-6 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of...

That you think it is even a logical possibility for God to be evil by doing something specific hints at your lack of reverence for Him. Anything He does is Good, Holy and Righteous by definition.

We are not held accountable because we are free, but precisely because we are not free.

That you think God can be evil if He causes something specific and says something specific hints at the lack of reverence you have for Him. Perhaps absurd according to your standards.

Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

That is unfortunate. Do you have a specific verse in mind? Jeremiah 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my...

Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Proverbs 16:4 The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

I don't want you to admit such a thing. Are you being honest with me?

Either God controls all things or He doesn't. Which is it?

If nothing about you is self-existent, then how can anything about you be yours alone? Do you not belong to God? It sounds to me like God owns you, and your will is not your own. Your mind depends on God's power to exist. Do you agree with this?

Absolutely. Have I given you reason to believe that I am not being honest with you? What does a Christian need to do in order to have a nice discussion with other Christians? Are you being honest with me?

Self-existent as in, not metaphysically depending on anything but oneself for current and future existence of self.

Is any part of the human self-existent? Matt, Please do not order me to discuss in your style. I will not do it to you. Coming from you, what does it mean to back someone in a corner, if not meant literally? The Determinists are who often get hit with being called robots. Don't worry about...

Try page #1. If it was answered with reverence to order and completion, then perhaps there would be no obfuscation to cloud the board. If you do your part in heavy lifting, I'm sure you'll find it.

Thanks for contributing, Matt. Do you believe that God gave man power that does not depend on God to exist, so that man can use it to think on his own apart from God?

Already done, Marks. I am waiting for you to address the question I shared.
