An islamic apologist who shall remain nameless here as I do not want to promote him, does lectures about how science proves quran to be from God.Perhaps you fail to realize there are millions of people that don't believe, Science is the answer to wake them to God.
God had no issue with his fruit God made, God had an issue with Cain's attitude.God wasn't a fan of Cain's sacrifice of vegetables ..the Earth is fallen ..blood is not.
you had asked me in another thread if you could sell me on the idea of alternate histories.
honestly yeah, maybe you can: there is a really, really profound mystery concerning forgiveness of sin, because God - who axiomatically ((IMO)) knows all things at all times - says He will remember our sins no more. that's mind-blowing, because His godhood includes His omniscience. how does omniscience forget? that's an huge question
so your thoughts about how strands of possible time-like manifolds are in a sense chosen through free-will interaction in the probability space, defining a 'true history' via a mechanism of observed causal paths, is really interesting. there's a constraint at play in my mind here because i know where/how that 'history manifold' becomes realized: this happens at the cross. because we're talking about forgiveness of sin: therefore the mechanism of the forgiveness of sin is the counterpart to the physically analogous representation. the way that, before God, a 'sinless history' is actualized is through faith in the death and resurrection of Messiah, and i think it is a bit of a 'rule' that the truth about how the universe works reflects the truth of how the Creator works, that is, His fingerprints are on it.
if there's some analogous aspect of the backwards-definition of history via observation-wave-collapse it needs to be connected to the crucifixion and our baptism into it. that seems to me to be how it has to work. that's how it will be framed when we understand it right; it will be framed in a way that testifies of and glorifies Christ, which in this case has to do with our being born again into life through identifying ourselves in His death and being thereby brought into phase also with His resurrection![]()
How does your first "all" not equal your second "all"?Did Jesus not only die for all sins, but for all sins we could have chosen to do?
How does your first "all" not equal your second "all"?
Since the first necessarily includes the second, your question is rather redundant![]()
Jesus gave His life for sin/s before we were even born.All sins we actually did vs all sins we could have done. This is mind blowing.
Jesus gave His life for sin/s before we were even born.
Nothing much mind blowing about the historicity of that.
It's a matter of chronology.
Magenta, I'm saying God died for all sins including all sins we could have chosen to do. That means God had access to every path of causality. God is even greater than we thought possible.
I think you just blew up 'open theism'
I want to agree, God knows all things at all times - even things which are not. It stands to reason that He paid the price for all sin He knows. So His sacrifice atoned for even sins that might have been but were not - and its more than 'covering' sins with His blood, like the blood of the sacrifices in the law; He removes sin. If He removes sin in its entirety, He removes even what sins were never actualized.
Non-local waves would be stuff God didn't need to know about because sin can only occur to what is real to this reality.
this reality is the only one that seems real to me![]()
