I sometimes think Of God as one of those mirror balls from the disco era. Millions of facets all looking at different aspects of creation. And not all of those facets are in the year 2022. :)

I don't consider Ephesians 4:9 to be a parable. The lowest point on earth is the Dead Sea. Only twenty miles or so from both the birth and death of Jesus. Do you think that the kingdom of heaven is really a grain of mustard seed?

Both were prophetic utterances. But the Ninevites chose which ending they would receive. Peter, had he remembered the words of Christ at the time, would have had a choice too. But he didn't remember.

What does rationality have to do with your definition of temporal...(which I wish you would please provide) This is what Merriam/Webster provided..." 1a: of or relating to time as opposed to eternity b: of or relating to earthly life c: lay or secular rather than clerical or sacred 2: of or...

Agreed, but don't you think God is not limited by time? I mean, can't He go to any spot in time to look around and see how say, one man's children may turn out? So, He can know what will happen, but without causing it to happen.

It matters greatly. There are at least two definitions, or, usages of the word "determine". I have determined that I don't have the money to spend. I will determine who wins or loses. God can know Pharaoh would resist Him without causing Pharaoh to resist Him. God can know Jesus would do His...

Can't God know without causing what will happen?

What is your definition of "determined"? Is it "deemed to be, figured to be"? (I deemed we didn't have the money for dinner out.) Or is it "caused to be"? (I spent the money for dinner on something else.)

Wear your lead suit.

Yeah ! Just throw it in the trash and let them take the deteriorating nuclear fuel to the local dump ! :rolleyes:

Green energy? I thought this was going to be about spinach !!!

I'm sure glad I was "grafted in". (Rom 11:17) I'm sure glad God made a way to be reborn of His seed. (1 John 3:9)

There is only one "good news", so all your supplied verses refer to the gospel Paul learned and taught. It is... "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory...

That may be the perception of some. But like the "sale" of Joseph to the slavers, things worked out just as God planned. We don't always know the fulness of what God wants.

That being the case, why listen to any of it? God will get His own will done, either way.

As it is written..."But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean...

If you are chastising him for doing what you did, isn't that hypocritical? Nobody will be forgotten before God, for using His name in vain..

Derail...

You are a funny guy !!! But I wouldn't include God in any more of your jokes.

That isn't possible until all the "runners" are caught again. Your "yes" is wishful thinking.
