I don't see any evidence of this in the text. We aren't given the serpent's intention prior to the temptation narrative. So no, there's no proof there that sin already existed. He wasn't Or, and this is important, that the serpent/Lucifer was not evil at the time God declared everything good...

Seems like a good OP for a new thread.

It only says what you want it to say? How nice to have such a convenient bible.

There is a ton of difference, all wrapped up the word "a". Indiscriminate would probably miss it. True. And Israel is not Israel, either: Romans 9:6 KJV — Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Supra.

Sorry about the fever. Take care of yourself.

Back to this... This was a question I had posed in other threads, though in different words, so I'm glad we're in agreement. Since the kingdom of Israel is not in any way desirable, why would Paul agree to go only to the uncircumcised while allowing the twelve to continue going to a fallen...

Ezekiel had go around naked for awhile, didn't he?

Ok. How do you contrast symbology with sumulation?

Do you test your AI answers, or do you accept them indiscriminately? Here's Merriam Webster's first definition: 1. including or covering all or a whole collectively or distributively without limit or exception especially : available equitably to all members of a society Eg. universal health...

I don't disagree with what you have said, but how is that an answer to my post? I don't see how that answers the question about who the two peoples are that once were separated by the law and now have become one group. These can't be believers in the Jew and Gentile camps, because it is apparent...

The point of the term "universal" is to differentiate between separate church congregations (yes, I know that's kind of like "tuna fish") and the sum total of all parts of Christ's body on the one hand or groups of believing Jews (synagogues?) vs all of the members of the church of Israel. Since...

I read 1 commentary that mentioned the idea that the morning star heralded the coming of the daylight sun, so it made me think of the Rev reference as about the resurrection, with Christ as the first fruits.

I notice "anti-Pauline" comes before "anti-God" in your tirade. Is that significant?

Ok It might have. Ephesians 2 talks about a "middle wall of partition" that is broken down between two groups of people. Let's talk about who those people are. Ephesians 2:12 KJV - That at that time ye {Gentile believers, I think we both agree} were without Christ, being aliens from the...

The future can't be both settled and open at the same time. If God knows the future exhaustively, then it is settled, and people are destined before they exist to whatever they do. God doesn't need to predict anything if His knowledge is exhaustive. It's all fact, not prediction. That's why I...

Was it? When God said He would "add" 15 years to Hezekiah's days, what was He adding to? So you are saying that even though the plan is already settled, and God knows everything we are going to do, we still have to ACT like God might change His mind? I'm not sure I understand the benefit of a...

Btw, Open Theists don't say God "can't" have exhaustive foreknowledge so much as that God doesn't want to have exhaustive foreknowledge. He made man to be a relational creature (something you picked up in earlier posts), and relational means that you actually respond to what the other person...

Can someone explain why all of the png's and jpg's are not rendering on my phone now? here's what the last several look like:

Exhaustive foreknowledge requires that God never changes His prediction. When God said Hezekiah would die of his illness, then said He would add 15 years to his life, which result was the true foreknowledge God had from the foundation of the world? Does God have exhaustive foreknowledge about...
