@FluffyYellowDuck There is a sense indeed that God's Creatorial glory is basic to the wider body of truth that we call the Christian faith, as evidenced in Scripture.

Philippians 2 gives the idea of voluntary subjection; there is omniscience in principle but also the active exercise of it, which is may be distinct.

@TEXBOW Enoch is not a canonical book, in any case...

@TEXBOW FYI....another thread I started...

@TEXBOW FYI....thread I started...

I'm going to use a certain button.

He is God, so omniscient.

Totally false. John 1 is full of deity of Christ. 1 Timothy 3.16. Hebrews 1. Etc., etc., etc. God in Three Persons is deeply present in the New Testament. Matthew 28; John's Gospel, esp. chs. 13 - 17; Romans 8; John's First Epistle, etc. This is simply not negotiable.

@FluffyYellowDuck Point taken! I see what you mean. At the same time, I can also imagine someone like @ 2 Chr. 34:19 wanting to put lotion on her wrinkled ink.

@FluffyYellowDuck PS: Sometimes aging causes wrinkles; 2 Chr. 34:19 said about her ink: ↑ Sometimes a balm or lotion can make wrinkles smoother again, right?

@FluffyYellowDuck Contributions appreciated.... :)

@Lifelong_sinner In the end it's good for the local congregation to take responsibility for who it is that partakes of the Lord's Supper. Inevitably one place will be slightly different from another; but this is all part of the beauty of letting local congregations take responsibility; Acts 20...

@David H. Interesting comment...

Thanks for your linked resource, @FluffyYellowDuck ; I just checked it out; interesting... Yes, often we think of balm as metaphorical, spiritual ("Is there balm in Gilead...", Jeremiah 8.22, etc.), but actual remedies which can act as a balm can be an interesting study and indeed important and...

@FluffyYellowDuck Of course, you're into ducks, what with your screen name...:)

@2 Chr. 34:19 John's First Epistle and Romans 8 also make very assuring reading for the believer trusting in the finished work of Christ. :)
