GOD's omniscience, Calvin's failure: Calvin followed the pagan Greek widom definition of omniscience brought into the church by the Greek idolizers and Augustine: ie, GOD knows everything that can be known from eternity past to eternity future. Certainly sounds all Godly and all eh? To bad it...

Ok, but my theology applies to very person ever created in HIS image at any age of their existence...everyone created in HIS image had a true free will and the ability to choose... The doctrine that some sinful people (called believers) will never be condemned and some sinners (called never...

If by born you refer to our creation, not just our birth, then I do not and my 'proof' is that I believe that there will be people in an eternal hell only upon their free will.

How would this not contradict the death of infants who then can't learn? If there is a time of innocence and death without sin then why did GOD not kill everyone of us before we could choose sin when HE has spoken solidly about NOT wanting anyone to perish? Hell and our being with HIS ordinary...

The dogma or doctrine that is the truth to me is often heresy to others and vice versa. I have settled into answers I can have faith in, my unproven hope in a reality that does give me rest by answering all my whys and I have written essays for each of your 'why?' questions. Since you ask most...

Sure, I agree...THEY are ONE like all married people are ONE.

I have decided that the explanation of the nature of the Trinity that is most acceptable to me so far is: Deut 6.4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One [echad]. Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be...

I am a trinitarian. ONE GOD does not mean one person or one consciousness. HE was never alone as all three persons of the Trinity were always existent. GOD is love. Love refers to a relationship, not a state of being. A one person existing alone forever would not be loving with no one to love...

They have apparently found AI playing games figuring out how to cheat...oops, I mean, maximize their wins without being taught how to do that.

Heb 12:5 ...you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, “MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM; 6FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE...

This "curse that saves" is also talked about in Heb 12:5-11...

All sinners who are legitimate children of GOD are being trained in righteousness...ie, they are all still missing the mark. The crux is not who we are now but who we will be...

I totally agree that man is conceived in sin and born an enemy to GOD. But it is anathema to me that man is created that way by GOD putting us into Adam and making us to inherit his sin! Nor can sinful man, enslaved to sin, have a free will because that renders our Lord's words enslaved to sin...

...or perhaps we all can only speak to our own predetermined experience: reprobate followers of false gods do indeed reincarnate but the legitimate children of the One True GOD never experience reincarnation but only resurrection and the heavenly marriage. Otherwise the greater vast majority of...

Ahhhh.... breathing implies a body to me. Do angels breath in heaven or just on earth? We know they can breath as they sing on earth sometimes.

ImCo, all those created in the image of GOD, ie, able to become a perfect Bride for HIM, were created as spirits, non -corporeal people. When a spirit is sown into the earth to give life to a body, it is called a soul, an embodied spirit. The English word "soul" comes from the Old English*...

Deut 6.4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One [echad]. Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one [echad] flesh. Echad, can refer to the word one and to the word unity, as these verses indicate... We...

I do not think this makes sense because there is no reason for the ONE who loves us and who created us to be HIS bride would have us become sinners by creating us sinners 'in Adam' rather than like Adam in his pre-sin innocence. Light cannot create darkness, even by a surrogate. A good tree...

Romans 9:11 does not even hint at answers to the questions: IF they were just newly created tabula rasa, - how did they know about the law of PRIMOGENITURE? and: - how did they know that they were being born into a culture that followed the rule of primogeniture??
