It was my opinion. Nothing more nothing less. Sorry, but that doesn't say that God predetermined everything. Yes, God can manipulate His enemies into accomplishing things He wants to accomplish. The best example of this is the Cross. Or, they believed something other than what you believe...

Exactly, or at the very least, God caused Satan to cause B57 to believe a lie. Under Calvinism (and Reformed theology in general), everything is, ultimately, caused by God.

Fluff. One predetermined event does not inherently mean that all things are predetermined by God. Because God wasn't controlling them like puppets. Rather, like a Master chess player (or a Meijin (名人), which is probably even more appropriate, to be honest), He is fully capable of...

He will probably just ignore the thread. Prove me wrong, @beloved57 !!! According to Calvinism, especially hardcore Calvinists such as B57, ANYTHING a person believes is predetermined by God before the foundation of the earth. And that includes at every point in a person's life. Aside from...

Just checking, you know Jesus' earthly ministry was only 3 years long, right?

I was hesitant in watching his stuff at first, just because I don't usually like watching those kinds of videos, but his videos are informative while still insulting to the wicked, and still somehow staying under the radar.... and as far as I can tell, he's likely a Christian. Also, Hi Poly!

In other words, you're saying: [That some pagan philosophical constructs exist does not mean that God being omniscient is from the pagans.] Is that correct? Because it's flatly false. The argument presented is that Augustine brought the idea that deities are omniscient into Christianity FROM...

Or, Jesus was telling the truth that "you will not be able to travel through all the cities of Israel before My return", etc, but then circumstances changed (Israel rejected Her Messiah) and so God couldn't give them right away the land He had promised them.

It's not meaningless. The idea that God is omniscient having pagan origins is a valid observation of history. It affects one's entire theology, and thus, ignoring it's origin has a drastic impact on why one believes what he or she believes.

Land promises to Israel are not "not of this world."

Or, He was telling the truth, but circumstances changed, and so He couldn't yet give Israel the Kingdom He had promised them.

Christ became sin for us. I agree, He never transgressed the law, but he was still numbered as one. The requirements were given in the passage I quoted: “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,beginning from the baptism of...

Sure! Hebrews: The full title of Hebrews is "The Epistle to the Hebrews". James: James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings. - James 1:1 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James1:1&version=NKJV Peter's...

Scripture makes it explicitly clear: “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”And they...

You can't honestly say that if you haven't read it. Your appeal to the stone is a logical fallacy. Refresh my memory. No, not the same thing. It's a red herring because it's going off topic. A rabbit trail. Says the one who refuses to back up her arguments.

Which means you don't have a case either, with your "to the jews" vs "to the gentiles," which, by the way, is inherently part of my position. I'm well aware that "ho" is "the." The problem with your claim is that, regardless of which it's supposed to be, to or of, or even without either of...

Now you're actively avoiding the question. Why does me asking you if God creating for the first time qualify as an event cause you to squirm so much? Answer the question: Was God creating, itself, an event? Meaningless gibberish until you can answer my question. Self-contradictory...

Now read the rest of it. And that would be, what, exactly? You didn't bother to provide any scripture. No. What he's saying is that the idea that God (or, in the case of the pagan Greeks, their gods) has omniscience has it's origins in pagan philosophy. Big difference. It is a fact of...

Nope. "... I have been entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, just as Peter of the circumcision." Two different gospels, Paul was entrusted with one, and Peter with the other. Saying it doesn't make it so. The Jews are a relatively small group compared to the rest of the world...
