    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    Your argument relies on the premise that God will tell you what will happen...well, sorry to say this, but as I conceive God, He will not. Prophecy, in its purest form is of possibility, a back-stemming reality, one of the multitudous multiverses. Prophecy, as you behold it, is definite...

    Sorry...School has started up again once more, so I'll get back to you as soon as I have time. At the meantime, I'm not supposed to be on the school's PC....;)

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    Ok, but we must remember you bestowed upon you this information. No, it is knowledge from God. It only becomes time-bound once you are inextricably involved in it en passe. The relayer of this knowledge is timeless, so essentially, as the knowledge is of Himself, the knowledge is timeless in...

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    Phaw! Everyone knows that the original, orthodox sect of the so-called "Leprechaunists" was undermined by a sociopolitial network. The common "mastermind" was Richelieu, claiming the sect to be "..a neopagan offshoot, a heretical cache, dedicated to worshipping, not our Lord Christ, but the...

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    God knows nothing of what I plan to do. He knows what I am doing. He knows it at every instant. If he were to tell you what he observed, in compactium momentum, you would not know what I will do, but what I (since the knowledge has been derived from a timeless entity, and thus, in the present...

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    Why God would want to converse with a Leprechaunist is beyond me (:D), but God, if he so chose, could talk to you, at this moment and tell you what shirt I am wearing tomorrow.

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    A) A choice is between choice 1, 2, 3 etc. executed by the person contemplating it. You must a: weigh the choice and juxtapose them according to rationale; b: select that which you see fit; and c: carry it through B) You must do the above of your own accord. C) God does not affect your...

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    Proof? :sarcastic I think not. I think that the bridge analogy has little to do with "choice" as we see it, and I think that the choice is all yours.

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    I assert the opposite. I assert that God, as he does not excercise foreknowledge, but experiences things simultaneously, does not negate freewill, because he is in no way barring your choice by nonaction. The perception of time by yourself, is notwithstanding, accurate pertaining to what obeys...

    How hard is it to watch people heading for hell

    We've already got 31 pages for such a stupid thread...that really is quite sad.
  11. Abulafia

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    I did. I found it to be evasive as usual. :sarcastic No, it remains impassable, passable, and nonexistent in the eyes of God. It of course, is impassable to you, but what your point is is beyond me. Foreknowledge? Honestly? Have I done NOTHING here? You have said nothing of my own analogy...

    Apocryphal Texts and Papal Infallibility

    I wasn't aware of the ambiguity of the declaration...you would think that the HS would guide you equally in all matters, making every word infallible....that's really strange. I am always interested in these sorts of things.....:areyoucra

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    Ahhhh...finally, an ultimatum....:D Yes. Yes it is. I don't like the word "will", insinuative of precognition, which has been successfully refuted, yet he has the knowledge of every action a human takes, for he is the agent that observes, distributed in his omnipresent manifestations...

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    Really? And then we enter metaphysics....observation nihilo.

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    The cylicality of time is a reference to the theory, that as space contracts, in the theoretical Big Crunch, the entropical arrow of time will also....:thud: Your post demands that observation is infallible, and that the true form of time exists as the observations deems it to be....I don't...

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    (sic.) No hallucination, that was an analogy, showing that perception doesn't constitute reality (in rebuttal to "The way we perceive time limits us....." etc.). My view of time is that it is observed in one way, but can be another. Sort of a time-agnostic. But...it most definitely exists...:D...

    what is the origin of sin/evil?

    First off, there is nothing I said that purports that "time" does not exist. I suggested that time (as we perceive it), is not its true manifestation. We regard it as an unreconciling line, extending forward to the horizon, never swaying form its rigid form. How are we to say what time is? Can...

    Human beings and time

    Blame it on hubris. What else does an existential nihilist have to hold in high esteem besides themselves? You mean Thief...:ignore: Because it is combining 2 topics, and with this one, that makes 3.
