    Biblical Foreknowledge

    I do see it, but was hoping to walk out just what it is that you have put your finger on. You see, if events are not the subject of foreknowledge and yet people are, then it is because we share a timelessness with God (the same yesterday, today, and forever). But also by that same realization...

    Biblical Foreknowledge

    Yes, the whole idea of anything happening before the foundation of the world combined with the fact that everything of the world (including time) is created and made manifest in revelations having been (past tense) written aforetime, should tell us of the true nature of all things. It is the...

    Biblical Foreknowledge

    That would also be the perspective of one seemingly standing still with feet planted firmly on the ground, while whirling through space. Meaning, that it may appear to be so on some level, but not in the bigger picture. The question then becomes: What perspective are we concerned with, the...

    Biblical Foreknowledge

    I don't see where you have made your supposition clear. If your point is to establish that foreknowledge refers to people rather than events, I agree. But I am not sure if you know what you have actually proven or discovered. What do you make of it?

    Interpretation Methods

    That is exactly what I am doing. You indicated that somewhere here there is a question, which you did very concisely. But in the OP there does not appear to be a concise question. That's the problem...not that there is not a simple answer, but there is no clear and concise question. This...

    Interpretation Methods

    "That day", which, as it is written, is "the end." But it is not good to react as a child in school who does not want to listen and learn. God does not need to have us here. It is us who have need, not Him. This is a gift.

    Interpretation Methods

    In one sentence, state your idea of the biblical meaning of "foreknow", and I will address it directly (probably in one sentence).

    The Verdict... Guilty.

    No, you are not grasping the bigger picture. We can and should be thankful that God has taken us into His confidence and is showing us the truth of all that is good and evil, and yet is doing so by "image" only, that Christ should loose any except the son of perdition. From this worldly...

    Interpretation Methods

    To even attempt to "interpret" the word of God, is to propose to understand God before the appointed time. The context for every word of God, is Him working "together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." But what "purpose" is to be understood...

    I wonder where this might lead...

    I am not having trouble with understanding, I asked and He answered in truth. To the contrary, "application" is religion.

    The Verdict... Guilty.

    With thanksgiving. If we are to enter into His courts, we shall see as He sees. We shall see before us life and death, good and evil, and choose. We shall enter into judgement and put to death all that is not of Him.

    The Verdict... Guilty.

    With God on the stand, I would ask Him: "In your own words, by what medium did you create man, that would render you innocent?" And He would answer: "Image."

    I wonder where this might lead...

    Not if you don't believe.

    Does “It Is Finished” Mean All of God’s Work Have Been Completed?

    "Finished" means finished. Not only did Jesus say it perfectly correct, it was confirmed: Revelation 13:8 "All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." ...But some believe the manifest...

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Yep, that's the lie you've been saying alright.

    I wonder where this might lead...

    It would help if you didn't skip over the proof I posted. You went from post 63 to 81. The scriptural proof is in post 73.

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Your description does not equal the truth.

    Biblical Foreknowledge

    Yes, and as the revelation of history (His story) unfolds, knowledge is increased among those of whom it was written before the foundation of the world.

    Biblical Foreknowledge

    No. Imagine a fish born in a fishbowl theorizing the great sea and trying to fit it all into the fishbowl. That is what men born in time attempt to do with the things of God whom is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Or, imagine an author writing a story of a fictitious character who...
