Christianity as a belief isn't really compatible with the concept of "safety in numbers" ;)

i just think, in a kind of logic, if He knows it - since He knows it - it already exists. existence is by Him, through Him, and for Him.

what is the nature of "being temporal"?

would you agree, omniscience that is constrained by the future isn't really omniscience at all, but only perfect knowledge of the past?

Greek has a perfectly serviceable past-tense grammar and Paul makes eloquent use of the language. ... and Romans 7 is written in present tense. QED

that nothing can constrain God is not speculation, because it is written, for Him nothing is impossible. neither is it that He chooses to operate in the framework of the universe He created, because it is clearly seen that we wait for Him now; that just as He appeared at just the right time, He...

if you could perceive that the past had been changed, would it really have been changed?

But He speaks of the future as though it is already past, and nothing He intends can fail to come to pass. So when He speaks of 'plans' is this kind of language for Himself or for those of us who hear it? as when He asks Adam where he is, in the garden, and Satan where he has been in the...

The prohibited things in Acts 15:20 are the things for which the Jews would not allow someone into the Gentile court of the temple.

Love does not envy, or boast. Love does not seek its own :)

It appears the work He had to do required Him to set humble Himself, setting aside His glory.

what part of the unequivocal declaration of His eternal kingdom is a "requirement"?

when He was baptized, tho He had no need of it, He said it must be done to fulfill all righteousness. His Messiahship was made complete; He finished the work.

this speaks of Solomon. the context here is the building of the temple

A bit hard to actually get the text from that newsweek article, but here it is in PDF form.. the burn victim's manifesto so, why did he do it? essentially he believed that both parties, Trump included, are a sham, and that they are all in cahoots with each other and business giants to get...

by and large catholicism hasn't been able to exploit actual Christians since the reformation, and i don't have any reason to believe president Biden is lying about being catholic.

from what i could gather he was a bit of an anarchist, expressing a desire to destroy the entire government, and identified both Trump and Biden as what Trumpists would call "deep state" a supporter of neither and fully against both. but that's second or third hand through news outlets. i...
