    On the omniscience of God

    🆙 I don't take it that way, and of course my abandoning RC connections is wholesale for all kinds of important reasons.

    On the omniscience of God

    He touches all around Isaiah but for these specific verses, that are again juxtaposition of a difference between God and man specifically. I might argue a few of his other observations, didn't see anything in particular, but nothing really in the way of these specific scriptures Credo posted...

    On the omniscience of God

    Realize on these, I was trying to argue more of Credo's intent. Isaiah 46:10 is fine the way OT and conversely I see it.

    On the omniscience of God

    Is there any very clear omniscient passage? Perhaps the Isaiah 46 passage is the clearest: Isaiah 46:21-24 - Present your case,” says the Lord. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob. “Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; Let them show the former things, what...

    On the omniscience of God

    Love. It endures all things. Thank you. Not necessary. This is a mountain, but not 'the' mountain. Will keep in prayer. God has used you in my life. I pray that in some small way, I can pay it back. Agreement notwithstanding. In Him -Lon

    On the omniscience of God

    Note that it is through 'the man that executeth my counsel.' Thus part of 'knowing' it through us as well. It doesn't have to be EDF necessarily,, but it is more than Open Theism intimates. Sure, but remember the verbs are passive, not active. It means all actions, not just his own. You...

    On the omniscience of God

    As an addition, entertain you aren't honest with yourself. You often contradict, may inadvertently lie to yourself, even. Something to ponder and forgive the intimacy of such a post, but it is evident to several on TOL. Try to let your yes be yes. It may (likely) play into your...

    On the omniscience of God

    This ever, when you are emotionally connected to your topic. Good? Can be, but give God that passion! We don't have to agree, Paul and Barnabas did not, both godly men. This is somewhat huge, likely 'two separate ways' but neither of our efforts wasted. To this day, I've no idea...

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    If it is saving faith, it doesn't return void. Lordship salvation is always cart before horse, and probably is given to those who believe another doesn't show they are possessed of the Holy Spirit. It is preaching, I think, to the unregenerate. Regenerate people simply do works according...

    On the omniscience of God

    Why? Isn't it just a guess, an intimation based on the former idea rather than implicit? If the text says something, and our knee-jerk is to dismiss it because 'well that means sin!' I'm not on page. His analogy of the wheat and tares does say 'let them grow together' but the reason is...

    On the omniscience of God

    Let's read it again: Isaiah 46:21-24 - Present your case,” says the Lord. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob. “Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; Let them show the former things, what they were, that we may consider them, And know the latter end of them; Or...

    this is what 1 Tim 1:3 -4 teaches !

    1 Timothy 1: 1Ti 1:3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, 1Ti 1:4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God...

    On the omniscience of God

    You've just done, by virtue of priori, what you asses in Credo. The first passage Credo gave, does indeed claim that knowing the future is the definition of "God." . It says exactly what it says; Only a priori of denial would second-guess. Entertain that you are forcing. It is a...

    On the omniscience of God

    This is why 'prescriptive' and 'decretive' are proffered. It doesn't have to mean, at all, that God doesn't know as an alternative. That is a conclusion based on 'reasoned' but all kinds of potentially wrong suppositions. While I can appreciate the Open View, it isn't the only kid on the...

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    CHATGPT translation: 2Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of {lawlessness}c is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he...

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    All of them? "The AICNT further aims to indicate the extent to which the manuscripts have been altered throughout the centuries. This is accomplished first by using, as the base text, what scholars have identified as most likely the earliest reading of the text translated. Secondly, over 2,000...
