I think we’re in agreement that omniscience doesn’t provide the how, it only supplies the what—and then some may extrapolate too far on the what when they assume the how. If the Bible is exhaustive in its description of the how, which I doubt, then it helps us determine the what, and why...

While I agree that the time was probably short—one rotation of the earth—it’s circular to define a day by 24 hours, since an hour is defined as 1/24th of a day.

In general, I agree with your post, but not with the last part. God is presented as already knowing about Cain. Genesis 4:10 (KJV) And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. Now, whether God knew about Able’s fate because He saw it...

Looks like you jumped right in, based on posts I saw already. Welcome.

I'll start a thread, but not tonight. I'll try to get it done and answer your and @Clete's posts in it.

He existed before His body existed. He’s not just human, but also God. In those ways He’s not a man. Man returns to dust. I don’t know what Jesus returned to. It’s possible that as a man, He ceased to exist, but because He existed without the man part, I don’t know what that would look like for...

And where do those spirits go? Are they alive somewhere waiting for new, glorified bodies? Rather “spirit” in those cases, and in ours, makes more sense as a life force, or “breath”. Job 27:3 (KJV) All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils; “Breath” is...

That’s a bit exclusive, since there are numbers of Christians that don’t believe it. On the contrary, it’s exactly as though we came up with the definition, just as you described. The definition doesn’t apply to any other thing, and the Bible doesn’t provide that definition. Yes, He died. And...

And the ables have no clue what to tell them? That’s certainly not scriptural. 1 Peter 3:15 (KJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

It’s unnecessary. Why would one come up with a different definition for death for humans vs everything else? And if we use a different language in our conversation, I.e., say “dead” when we mean “still alive”, why would unbelievers listen to us when we say “6 days only means 6 days”. It’s a...

And [Mat 24:24 ESV] For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

Well that’s helpful, not.

That’s where Christians go when they stop believing truth. Not all go all the way immediately, or in the same generation, but they go.

Yeppers! And they want science to be decided by fiat. Truth is what they say it is. Thus, a man may not be a man, or a woman a woman. A live human being in a womb is not a human being, or not alive. What is true today, may not be true tomorrow. Science must change to fit the narrative.

Unlikely. But he has minions. [Mat 25:41 KJV] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: The angels are "his". They are under his authority. And within those angels is a hierarchical structure, no...

As soon as you get far enough along in showing that @beloved57 is wrong, he'll put you on ignore. He can't handle the truth.

Maybe not FOR Adam's sin, but certainly BECAUSE OF Adam's sin. [Rom 5:12 KJV] Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Yes, by personal choice, he did. But he argued that he had a right to be paid, just like the other apostles. 1 Corinthians 9:9-10 (KJV) 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 10 Or saith he [it]...
