Free will vs Omniscience

Nothing silly about it. You have been trying to argue for months that God is not responsible for "our decisions" and you have been shown many times that if He is omniscient and irresponsible, He must be evil. It has nothing to do with what YOU can do about it. It's about what GOD can do about it.

I notice that "the argument is wrong" doesn't figure in your list of excuses for not understanding it. Don't be silly. If God was evil, He couldn't be counted on to tell the truth, could He? He might tell us, like He told Adam and Eve, that we will die today (where "today" really, really, really means forty years from now). Good plan. If you did, you might get no answer at all or you might get an answer you don't want to hear. It's safer to keep your "communication" with God on a nice vague plane.

How would you go about serving God? How does He take His coffee? Does He prefer mustard or mayonnaise on His sandwich?As Jesus said elsewhere, you don't love God or serve God by mouthing, "Lord! Lord!"

Phat's prognostications are as innaccurate as most prophets but his arrogance suggests that he is more of an "attempted prophet". Are you trying to be sarcastic or did you get that right by accident?

Then explain HOW it is false and tell us what "the truth" is.

And you never explain how that's bad thing. Jesus did it. He required his disciples to do it. He told the rich young ruler to do it. The Roman Church did it. What makes you exempt?

You're fond of talking about "human nature".Do you think it started yesterday?I don't. I think it started with the first humans, and though it has evolved over the millennia, it still boils down to survival of the individual versus survival of the species. We want both but we can't always have both.Jesus came to teach the Pharisees, et al. to think more of society and less of themselves. Do you think "human nature" has changed just because you call yourselves "Christians"?I don't think so. I think all of us, including you, need to learn the same lessons that Jesus tried to teach the Pharisees.Isn't it ironic that you claim to be "in communion" with Jesus and yet you deny His teachings.

I don't know if jar is speaking to you, so I'll give you one: Talking snake. It's just silly to think it was an actual talking snake.

I bet you could sell fotok to the health food crowd.

Jesus said that "not everyone" who cries Lord! Lord! is a true follower - i.e. professing belief is not a valid indicator. Check the beam in your own eye.

The Bible says a lot of things that are patently false. The talking snake is one of the most obvious examples. It's obvious because snakes don't have the physical apparatus required for speech, much like how giraffes do not have the physical apparatus required for juggling. The Bible QUOTES the WORDS that the snake spoke. That is not "some kind of communication". It's SPEECH.The snake is obviously a literary device, a way to present Eve's thought process.

Because the Bible says it was a snake. I can use the Bible to argue against YOUR theology. God is in the imagination of humans, along with leprechauns and the Tooth Fairy. Then why do you use it to try to prove the flood happened? It's your theology that is not correct, because you're misusing the Bible. What question did I ask?

Bear in mind that I'm not using the Krazy Klown definition of socialism that you use. You have it backwards (as usual). I learned that the message was important from my parents and then again in church. I rejected the idea that the messenger is important because of people like you turning a beautiful and practical message into an ugly personality cult. The title is Treasure Island. The sad part is that you still have to be taught. Not "less important". UNimportant. Completely unimportant, as proven by the people of other religions who don't accept your messenger at all but who understand the message much better than you do. You mean you don't? What kind of American are you, rejecting the Declaration of Independence? Remember, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...."? And you have never been able to show that that is an error.

I couldn't care less if you reply or not. I'll keep pointing out your errors whether you can handle it or not.

Just so you know, I was practically born in church. I could quote scripture before I could read it. I spent thirty years going to church as much as five times a week. I have seen "speaking in tongues" dozens, maybe hundreds of times. It really isn't.
