i really think if we have to attack men we should be talking about Augustine instead of Calvin. But we should be talking about scripture and Christ instead of men, period. It is historically a formulation his followers came up with after he had died to combat heresies that emphasized the...

That's an interesting read. Thank you! i notice the author highlights the same objection i made, that the text sure seems to indicate God's approval of Job's speech extends throughout the whole account, not just his final expression of humility - and this is perhaps the greatest difficulty in...

the three bring the offerings God instructed, which is tantamount to confession, because they were told the offerings were for the guilt of the things they had said. Job is not told to make any similar offering for speaking wrongly. This, and the fact that God's statement about Job having...

God is spirit - therefore what sense does it make that something has to be corporeal in order to be 'real' to Him? God knowing the number of my days, every hair on my head, and my whole heart before He created me doesn't make me co-eternal with Him. it makes Him a conscious, skillful...

Absolut Erasmus did not pull punches, and was thorough in every argument he undertook, as he knew how to be. Of course no one but God is good, but one is very hard pressed to find error in his work. let God alone judge this, our elder brother Erasmus

Erasmus was an amazing, brilliant man. More trusted than the pope. Spurgeon x1,000 Bruce Metzger is an absolute nobody compared to him. Erasmus is right next to Augustine in terms of respect, accreditation and accomplishment. if i understand correctly, that's what @Nehemiah6 is trying to draw...

from what i have heard, if i remember correctly, there was practically no other scholar in the entire Roman empire who understood Hebrew at the time of Erasmus. there can be no doubt he is highly respected by his peers and by history. that being said, i have also heard from Jewish sources that...

Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does [it,] that men should fear before Him.

there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 3:15 That which was is already [done], and that which is [destined] to be, already was, and God seeks the pursued.

time has a beginning. God does not. 2 Timothy 1:8-11 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called [us] with a holy calling, not according to our...

not "seem to" - - but quite clearly.

No, connception is after the formation of my substance. He saw me before my substance was formed.

He saw my unformed substance. He did not create me blindly: He knows what He does.

"more real to God now than it was" sure sounds like an overreach of anthropomorphism.

Psalm 22 is a duet. some of it is Israel, some of it is The Son. Israel believes herself to be forsaken, but she is not.

God's pretty good with words.

Psalms 139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When [as yet there were] none of them.

de Broglie is the man who introduced the idea of physical/temporal events or states being described by probability functions, an idea you appealed to.

you introduced into the thread the idea of de Broglie waves as descriptive of the future of the universe, which is a quantum mechanical argument: you employed this as an attempt to explain that God cannot know the future because the actions of free will beings are unpredictable. as though...

God is also really good at math :coffee::unsure:
