Looking back, I guess I would disagree a bit with this last statement: "..they [the scriptures] are the instruction manuals for life given to us by the Creator, because we are not expected to just figure it all out on our own." But maybe it's a small point..but Enoch and Melchizedek seemed...

Oh, That's a good one!

You don't say...

If only we could print this out and get someone to quietly slip it on to AOC's desk..she'd probably lobby for a government sponsored AR 15 trade in program where you can exchange your AR 15 for an AR 10 -free of charge.

But...Jesus marveled at the faith that the Gentiles had in him. @Bright Raven -you're using an AI! (Let me know if you would rather use your brain instead.)

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...

I always get this one wrong! I think I get it mixed up with the parable of the fig tree. :(

Recently Dr. Ron Garret wrote the following on his web blog, in an effort to steel-man the Christian creationists position. I told him that I think he's got it pretty much covered, but thought I would post it here in case anyone else has anything they would change or add: From the post...

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...
