It isn't hard to know the Mind of God, just believe the Bible. But apparently that's too hard for most of you.

What, you want me to say I don't understand ALL of God's Mind?. Would that make you happy? Ah yes, well we may not understand why God does what He does, and He doesn't reveal everything either, but what He reveals in His word He wants us to know or He wouldn't have revealed it, but you aren't going to know it unless you believe it and submit to it.

Claiming to know the Mind of a Being so far beyond our comprehension? Yeah, easy.
And you're Julius Caeser too.

What, you want me to say I don't understand ALL of God's Mind?. Would that make you happy? That would be a start. Acting as if you don't understand ALL of God's Mind would be the next step. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

Julius Caesar didn't author a revelation of his mind, but God did author a revelation of His.

Went right over your head, hum? The sterotypical sign of a hopeless loony is thinking he/she is Julius Ceaser or Napoleon.
All Bible believers have access to a part of God's Mind. All people who study the real world and follow the evidence where it leads have access to another part of God's mind. Anyone who claims to know that someone else "hates God" or will burn in Hell (especially when that person's only sin that you know of is disagreeing with you) is claiming to know God's judgement. that would require knowing all of God's mind.

Of course you're accusing me of being crazy, so what. I answered straight, take it straight.

If the shoe fits...
As I wrote, if you start acting as if you don't know all of God's mindyou wouldn't seem to be such a wackjob.

People can of course twist the Bible but it's not really all that hard to understand most of it if you approach it honestly.

Three or four when you get down to it. Divided on minor points.
