Again, you are distorting what Free Will means. It never meant one can act with impunity.

Again that is the Atheist axiom, which is false. YHWH abandoned this world to Satan. Satan is the god of this world. The suffering is not caused by YHWH but allowed because it is a fallen world. You have to abdicate dictating terms to the almighty. Such profound ego! He has a plan to save the...

Friend, there you go again. YHWH’s terms are simple. Total surrender and submission. His way is the only way. Your posts wreak of pride, presuming to be in a position to judge your maker. He will judge you and his judgment is the one that counts. My church often talks about how people tend...

You have made an Appeal to Probability with no foundation. What you write is not true, this I know. I know this because God called me. I am a witness.

I never said I have all the facts. In fact, this impossibility makes all the need to have faith. You've mentioned this point about Esau. Please start a new thread to flush out the idea fully. Sounds fascinating.

Hmmm. I see your point. There is a difference between ‘re-hashing’ a principle from applying the principle anew, don’t you think? For instance, as an experienced driver, I stop at a stop sign. As a new driver I may have had to ‘re-hash’ or learn how much distance I need to safely stop at a...

You are projecting. You cannot deny the Bible says only a fool says there is no God and to not rely on your own understanding but to trust in the LORD God. All you do is deny and attack. This makes one wonder your purpose of being a member of a Christian forum?

Not an answer to my question. There is such a thing as violating one's Free Will. See property crimes.

And that is wrong because you are distorting what Free Will means to suit your ideology. IF man has no Free Will, our entire system of justice is based on a flawed premise, right?

If you cannot see that God exists, you are missing the most important truth of the Bible.

Your holding back. Death is the ultimate change, the final change of the living. It is the end, oblivion.

Not an answer to my question. If there is no free will, there can be no rape, correct?

Your definitions are absurd. In no way does the gift of Free Will mean we are God for we are still confined by the limitations put on us my our Creator. We cannot fly, breath under water, go to another planet breathing the absence of air along the way. We must eat, sleep and all the other...

Sir, it is one thing to disagree agreeably. You agree disagreeably. It's not the Bible but the myth in Christiandom that I don't believe. Hell is derived from Gehenna, which was a place trash was put. Most cities burned their trash and Jerusalem was no exception. I believe early translators...

Explicitly contradicting the Bible. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding Proverbs 3:5

Luke 16 is a parable. The NLT section beginning v19 is specifically called a parable. It is unique in that it has a persons name, Lazarus. However, the rich man remains unnamed in the parable, as does Lazarus’ brothers.

Everyone is in a position of vulnerability; we are all going to die.

On this, we agree. I reject eternal suffering. We disagree about there being no free will. Perhaps you are so sick as to define true free will to mean there are never any consequences to one’s choices. You mentioned a 5-yo getting gang raped. If there is no free will, there can be no rape...

No. My belief system is justified because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are BILLIONS of witnesses to his glory. You are just in denial, demanding evidence while drowning in evidence.

Your inabillity to discern is willful. The Bible is highly figurative. The Bible is not literal. These 2 statements do not mean the same thing. I hold that some of the book is literal while most of its truths are expressed figuratively. You hold that because the book is not one little bit...
