Why does he need to prove something to a mere human? He has though, through what many consider prophecy.
January 15, 2018 at 23:01
Exactly. This is why your concept is a contradiction. God is not obligated to tell us anything, and never will be. He already knows our rebellious nat...
January 15, 2018 at 22:58
But due to omniscience, he would already know that you'd do the opposite, so there is no contradiction.
January 15, 2018 at 22:43
By theory, yes.
January 15, 2018 at 22:38
Why should he tell any human what he already knows?
January 15, 2018 at 22:35
If you are referring to the doctrine of predestination, I have drawn a conclusion that God does not tell humans what to do; we are free to make our ow...

Y'all should eat soggy pumpkin seeds.
January 15, 2018 at 22:08
You are treating God as a substance, a chemical, or an equation, which he is not. But, as to answer your question, you must consider his other attribu...
January 15, 2018 at 22:06
Yes, his attributes do not change.
January 15, 2018 at 21:42
Because he does not change, he must listen, as being loving is part of his unchangeable attributes.
January 15, 2018 at 21:38
Thank you. It means a lot to me.
January 15, 2018 at 00:01
Nah. >:) I just like to tease him.

It is an unknowable thing. So don't ask... :-O
January 14, 2018 at 20:50
You are right in saying humans cannot make a relationship with God. Instead, God initiated a relationship with us first. It has nothing to do with cha...

Meh...

I've already told you that you can't post in this thread! This is an Agu free zone! So shoo! :P

Bleh. Football and soccer are boring. Watch hockey!

It doesn't really matter about rest anymore, one just doesn't want to interact with anyone and desires to get away from reality. The point would be to...

Sure, but unfortunately, one cannot sleep 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Why should I want to stay alive? There is a difference between wanting life an...

God is not restrained by time; as he existed before time, exists in time, and will exist apart from time. He is in no manner restrained by the existen...
January 11, 2018 at 20:00
Do you get tired of living? The answer to that is based on your conclusions, no one gives a d*** . So tell me again, why do I want to stay alive? If o...
January 11, 2018 at 19:44
If one is above time, it does not mean that one cannot use time. So God can do consecutive tasks and act, but these things do not limit him.
January 11, 2018 at 00:21
Yes.
January 10, 2018 at 14:34
God is not restrained by time, nor is time necessary for His existence. Yes, I agree that one is either timeless or temporal. But saying that God must...
January 10, 2018 at 14:11
God transcends time; he merely created it. I don't see how that is indecisiveness.

December 31, 2017 at 18:04
The Christian Scriptures are self-declared to be the Word of God; in that, they are unchangeable and must maintain a perfect degree of logic. Unlike t...
