The race is not to the swift,

I have declared my authority to do so. And it is enough.

right out of Aleister Crowley, you ask me

 

[ScottA]

you have not brought witnesses, and neither have any appeared. You are certainly invited to post some now, i would love this myself

BB, you are not listening. I told you that "My witness...is the second witness." Thus, if you have missed the first witness, you have some catching up to do. But I have no need to produce witnesses that came before.

But, hey, I just happened upon this article, which I have not fully read, but you might find it to be the confirmation you need: God, Time, and Foreknowledge – How Can God Know the Future?

 

[ScottA]

not that i recollect

That could be the problem.

 

[ScottA]

ya, it doesn't work like that, sorry. Truth is established in the mouth of two or three witnesses, and you are not in the position of witness here, but defendant. If you like, i will take the box, and you can cross me, but first i would need a practical statement from you on your position--as i am not yet aware of exactly what it is--in order to take the other side

libertinism? defeatism? enlightenment? who knows?

No, no, no. You don't get to call the shots on when and how God reveals His truth. I have done my part, as those who have gone before, and it is either believed or not. That is how witnessing works.

Good...and if you will draw the comparison, that discomfort may tell you something.

i dunno, i've reviewed those, and they seemed honest enough Qs to me. I'm not big on theory, personally--i just happen to have the gift of arguing it i guess--and you seem to have a lot of peace, guess that is what matters here. I might wish you could use more Scripture to explain your position, which seems nihilist to me, and i note some bait for in the Book, but if they don't bug you, then hey
