    The myth of the "early church"

    Then He didn't even start building His church? Second question, whose are the churches that were started by Paul? Are they Jesus' church(es)? If they are, then Question 3: why does Jesus talk about only a single church and not another one, since both the one built on Paul's foundation and...

    The myth of the "early church"

    So how did Jesus build a new church on the foundation of the apostles, or the apostles' understanding of who Jesus was, that was also the church in the wilderness 1400 years before?

    The myth of the "early church"

    Perhaps, but Peter being the rock the church is built on is the more prominent Catholic view, since it supports Pope-ish authority. And I hope you see the point of what I'm getting at, since @Right Divider is displaying his foolishness again.

    The myth of the "early church"

    usually a building is built on a foundation, rather than a foundation being added after the church is built. What church do you think Jesus refers to here, and what is the foundation: Matthew 16:18 KJV — And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    There was one window, near the roof: Genesis 6:16a KJV — A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; So Noah and his family might have witnessed your shower. Somewhere along the line, probably soon after the flood, comets were determined to be ill omens...

    Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

    Why not? The whole gospel is intended to correct a fallen mankind. Having Abraham act like fallen mankind, then salvation still happens is the epitome of the gospel.

    I tested his because it sounded, how do I describe it, overly wordy without a definable point. Yours don't usually sound that way. The tester I used offered a different category for AI-altered, vs AI-generated.

    Exactly! And Isaac was as good as dead to Abraham those 3 days.

    Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

    No, that's not what Open Theism says at all. It says God can handle any of the outcomes. How He would have handled Abraham's refusal to kill Isaac might have looked different, but it might still have involved the same ram and an explanation that Abe need not fear losing his only son.

    Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

    I don't see why. Why is a god who figures out the math problems in his head more pathetic than a god who has to look in the answers at the back of the math book? I don't think that's true. Maybe some have a problem they won't admit is a problem. Otherwise they would have rejected their theology...

    Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

    This is true of most of the biblical passages when you apply the open theism paradigm. Most aren't that comfortable with such shifts. Whose consistency and coherence? Jesus'? Or the disciples' As I said, maybe. He knew the apostles fairly well. He had certainly been teaching them more things...
