    How can God know both the past and the future of All things from beginning?

    I think that is quite good way to see it. I think God knows His creation so well that He can know what it will do in future. Similarly as the maker of car knows what happens when car is handled in certain way.

    30,000 feet of water?????

    Sorry, no good reason to think they were cooked. Also, I don't claim the continents have moved much. The original continent was broken, collapsed and sunk. the pieces are pretty much were they were before the collapse.

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    Bible uses the word "prince". And I have understood it means angel lord, a chief angel or leader angel. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Daniel...

    30,000 feet of water?????

    Sorry, I don't believe that. I believe the flood happened as told in the Bible, because it gives the most reasonable explanation for it. However, the others did not necessary copy the story from Jews. All people who survived from the flood, would have had the story with them, that is why it is...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    God and Jesus were both there, because as it is said, God dwells in Jesus. I don't think he was calling Jesus God, otherwise he could have just said, "my God". Bible tells Jesus is the image of God. Do you think an image is the same as the source of the image? If you have seen an image of a...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    The Bible does't trouble me. I think the other gods, who are called sons of God and angel lords or princes (Michael for example). Yes, I think the El is YHWH.

    30,000 feet of water?????

    I think it would be good to notice that it was not just rain that caused the flood. Bible tells that the water burst out from the "fountains of great deep". To understand the story correctly, it is important to know that in the beginning there was just single continent that was "stretched" over...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    I didn't mean they are regular angels. I believe they were angel lords.

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    To show how in Bible son of God or children of God is not the same as people commonly seems to think. Actually this seems to be about what you think they believed. And sorry, I don't think you know it. The problem with this is, you offer no good reason to believe you.

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    I think it depends on what way seen. I think many may have seen God in some way. For example image of God, or indirectly, the brightness of God. Bible tells God dwells in Jesus, not that Jesus is the God. In this case I think it is important to notice that the Bible says "His name will be...

    Young women leaving religion more than young men.

    But were they even ever really religious, or were they just participating in something without any deeper meaning or reason? I think most modern people are not really religious, even if they nominally are part of some religion. However, it is interesting, if it is true those things are...

    If We All Became Atheists?

    If nothing indicates it has been done as you say, then I have no need to believe it has been done.

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    Bible doesn't tell what they were. I believe the "gods" were angel lords. I don't think they were Baal, Marduk, Bel, or Ashura. Interesting thing is, for example Judges 2:11 speaks about baals, not just single Baal. And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    I understand the Bible so that YHWH have many sons. Interestingly disciples of Jesus can also be counted as children of YHWH, because: But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: who were born not of blood, nor of the will...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    And I think one of the names of the El is YHWH. They are the same.

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    Maybe not all atheists care about that. But, in my experience they usually use a translation that makes it more difficult to understand the text without problems. I think you have a good point, the word elohim can be difficult, because it has many meanings. That is why I think best way to...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    Ok, I think they recognized and believed, because things went as Jesus said. I also believe they knew what was said about coming Messiah and saw Jesus fitting to that and therefore believed.

    The opposite of believing is knowing

    I think I am understander. :D And because of that, I think the opposite of believing is not-believing. And no one really knows, some just believe their beliefs are more than beliefs.
