I'm gonna have to side with marke on this one, at least on this part. Otherwise, why did Christ say "Eli, Eli, Lama sabachthani"? ("My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?") Christ being separated from the Father at His death on the Cross is rather foundational to the entirety of Christianity...

How about in Biblical terms?

Are you an Arminian? Which makes no sense whatsoever. God remembers the past, because He is in the present, and is looking forward to the future.

Sorry, I'm an Open Theist. I don't believe that God "saw the future" or "predestines everything." I believe God predetermines some things, and is omnicompetent to bring those things to pass, in spite of the things man does.

Homeschooling is better.

I left FB years ago. Never looked back. Never wanted to.

If everyone else sounds confusing, maybe you're the one who isn't understanding.

No, that's you reading your preconceived notions into the text. Read it again, carefully. Also, I don't know anyone named Lex Talionis.

Have you never read the book of Jonah? God told Jonah that Nineveh was going to be destroyed in 40 days. That was a very specific prophecy. 40 days later, and no destruction came upon Nineveh. Prophecy failed. Yet God wasn't lying when He said it would be destroyed. How do you explain it...

Simply because He can do new things. A timeless God cannot do that.

Are you aware that many prophecies failed in the Bible, and they were given to men directly by God? The vision John saw was a prophecy of things to come. Yet it may or may not yet happen if the circumstances change, or what happens may be different than what John saw. In no way does God...

Is the fetus in the womb of a human woman a human fetus? Sorry, but that's redefining terms. You don't get to do that. As Jefferson said, foetus is latin for baby. Therefore, you are now claiming that A is not-A. You are being irrational.

Except that it does. Quite a lot, actually. https://americanrtl.org/what-does-the-bible-say-about-abortion The Bible calls the baby in the womb a "child." It affirms that if the baby in the womb is killed during the commission of a crime (and not the mother), the criminal should be put to...

Because you say so?

Thread is turning into mud slinging. Locking the thread.

God "DECLARES the end from the beginning" Is what the verse actually says. Not "predicts." Not "is." Declares. Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me,Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that...

Last I checked, "ungodly" refers to ALL people, prior to being saved. Or are you now saying that only the elect are ungodly?

False. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us...

And the reason why is explained in the show which I linked above, which you clearly did not listen to. No, not the stimulus, the system which allows for such.

Typical Arthur Brain. Talking about everything BUT the topic of the thread and reverting to ad hominem because he can't win an argument. Try addressing the topic, once you come back from your ban: It's a Biblical principle. It's applicable in all situations. Even before the Fall, Adam had...
