Alright well sure. We can take them in order and start right at the beginning, God creates man on the 6th day of the creation and then He regretted making man so He killed all of them in the flood. Does that sound to you like He changed His mind about something? Or no, not really?

Numbers 23:19 is ultimately referring to God blessing Israel so that "A scepter shall arise from Jacob". Balak wanted God to curse Israel instead and was unable to change His mind, as Balaam said ", “Even if Balak gave me all the silver and gold in his palace, I could not do anything great or...

Ok, so if it's heretical to believe God can change His mind, then why are there so many examples of God changing His mind in the Bible?

Then why does God change his plans so often in the Bible? Why does He have to plan anything at all if He already knows everything everyone is going to do? Why did God design us with such a complex peripheral system? A visual system that detects single photons and converts them into an...

Do you believe God knows every single thing I will think and do, since before I was born?

There is also Colossians 2:18-19! Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit...

The olive tree is Israel, namely the natural branches. The gentiles are wild branches that were grafted in. Romans 11 is referring to 2 different people.

Calvinists and sometimes baby Christians struggle with it. The smart and mature Christians who are open-theists, do not.

Something tells me that he is never going to stop doing this.

Ok well these people aren't here right now, I'm asking you. Is God inside the toilet when I go to the bathroom, yes or no? If you're having trouble answering such a rudimentary question clearly (the answer is "No", btw) you might want to reconsider whatever it is you think qualifies you to...

So God is stuck inside the toilet, eh? Sounds a lot like Calvinistic gobbledygook to me..

I've noticed you're not citing any sources.

I think someone here might have posted this before, but anyway..

I think you are reading too much into this. The death and suffering of a loved one is one of the most heartbreaking and distressful things any of us will ever experience. Mary, Peter and the apostles were behaving accordingly. Would you have expected them to have a party while Jesus was being...
