Bobbsey twins...same theological clothing.

I agree, at least in part. I am very hesitant to say that God doesn't even know a lot of stuff about the past and present. If there are evil acts He doesn't want to pay attention to, that suggests that there are victims, possibly innocent or children, of those actions that are being hurt...

Right. He had to see something. It wasn't something that happened in the past. It could only be to see something that might or might not happen in the future. What happened in the future, with respect to God's conversation with Abraham? The episode with the angels in Sodom. God didn't gain any...

I don't have a usable model for a system without a thinking mind, but anywhere there's a thinking mind, time/sequence exists. That's because thoughts are sequential. They come into focus and go out of focus. Some are new. New thoughts mean they didn't exist and then they started to exist...

correct

Therefore, though I like a lot of TGP's content, I am more wary of the intent of it's owner.

My pastor mentioned that Jim Hoft was a sodomite. I looked it up, and apparently he "came out" several years ago, after the Orlando club shooting.

i made it through the first half before having to stop for the night. I'm amazed at Tucker's patience. And I'm not too surprised at Putin's story, especially about how the West doesn't trust him. I don't either. But I don't trust our own leaders, either.

As a follow-up, we can search out scripture to find out how God knows things about us and our deeds. He "numbers" the hairs on our heads, unlike the feathers of a sparrow. [Luk 12:7 KJV] But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many...

Yes, that's certainly something worth considering. Why do we think "omniscience" is something to cling to at all? Does "know all things" equate to "all-knowing"?

I would suggest that while some things God is experientially knowledgeable, the "all-knowing" can't include experiential knowledge of sin. God knows when we sin, but not as if He Himself had done the sin.

Before the Son of Man comes to do what? He was there with them, and sent them out, expecting to see them again fairly soon. So He could mean "before the Son of Man comes in His glory", or He could mean "before the Son of Man comes to die in Jerusalem. He might mean "before the Son of Man come in...

I don't know about that. If time doesn't exist, then maybe 7 million years is in the ballpark.

And why we don't claim scientist's explanations as "facts".

So now you're saying Peter should have been reaching out to Gentiles after the Cornelius episode, because there was a change in focus? Then we are in agreement. Paul's conversion? I thought you guys were "mid" Acts dispensationalists. So why do you point out that Paul says "now I turn to the...

I don't disagree that Jesus was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel. The question was whether the 12 apostles were only supposed to go to Israel.

As @Clete pointed out, you're assuming what we know are facts, and not speculations that work for certain predictions. Well, that third one is more supported by consensus. So at any point in time, the consensus is likely wrong. So it would be less likely for the future generations to reproduce...

You should be able to say the same thing about any point in history...that all will be rediscovered. But that suggests either that we've already explained everything correctly...and so had the people at any point in history..., or that we're wrong about some stuff, in which case we wouldn't...

But that's not context, that's pretext. Throwing it out there as if it somehow means Peter wasn't supposed to go to the Gentiles is directly contradicted by the story of Cornelius. Jesus wasn't sent to the Gentiles, we both agree. But He was sent FOR all men, whosoever believes on Him. You...

I agree. But neither refers to "Israel" as an entity.
