No, you are claim to what you believe the bible states is true is actually true. You believe you hear the Holy Spirit, and you believe the bible tells you when Jesus has risen you will hear the Holy Spirit which confirms your preconceived bias (confirmation bias).
Except there is no way to objectively confirm what you say beyond word of mouth. So why should any reasonable/rational person believe it?
You aren't getting the point. If you smoke cannabis, according to the bible, you are going to hell, bottom line. You cannot justify yourself out of that fact.
So god can overcome everything but sin? In order for us to be okay with him, he had to kill his son first? I'm not following how that actually makes sense...
Forgive me if I doubt your description of the sequents of events, which is not to say that I think you're lying, which in fact, I don't. I simply think you're interpreting the data received by your senses wrong, or being inconsistent while analyzing it. Or not acknowledging human error.
The gain you would have is substantiating your point using a real life example, which, again, you believe is true. This seems to be an unresolved issue, you must understand, what you believe​ to be true and what actually is true (backed up by empirical evidence) are two completely different things. One is substantiated by evidence, and the other is not. One is used when discerning reality, the other is not..
empirical evidence will prove itself when people are around me, as the works Jesus did, will also be done by Christians as time progresses when the will of God comes to pass. I have seen many miracles, performed many, but it is not just these that point to the Father, even though they do, it is our love. Jesus said by this, love, the world will know we are his disciples. You cannot see my love and actions simply by word of mouth over a forum. That is why I do what I can by spreading the word by mouth over here and leave the rest to those i am physically present with.
God gave finite creatures with no knowledge of the infinite a "choice" that they could not even begin to understand the ramifications of; all the while, being all-knowing, he knew the end result before it happened. I don't get a pass for knowingly letting someone commit a crime, why does god get a pass for letting all of us get damned when he could have simply avoided planting that tree? Without your god's creation of it, sin would not exist; genesis makes that clear as day.
No, he set up a trap in which Eve succumbed to. He knew exactly what would happen, and used it as justification to torture mankind eternally. Again, if you can't think of a system more efficient than Christianity, you don't deserve to be the creator of the universe. I myself could come up with a system which would ensure 100% of my creation enters my kingdom of Heaven. 100%, am I better than an omnibenevolent, omnipotent, supreme being?
Give a child rat poison that smells and looks like sweets sometime, and tell them it's deadly; get back to me on how many of them eat it anyways.
How is there free will when there is a "divine plan"? If god knows all, there is no such thing as free will, it's all preconceived.
You are in error because you do not know the scriptures. If you did, you would understand these children you are referring to are sinners, they are born with the sin nature and the sin nature despises authority. These children have an innate desire to go with their passions and desires over what is right vs wrong. Adam and eve did not have that. Sin netered the world after Adam ate from the fruit.
God knows who will choose what, all of our paths are set before the Lord, he sees all of our heart, even the parts we don't currently know about. He uses that to work towards his divine plan, you are speaking on matters far grater then what you can currently understand. If you understand God is infinite in wisdom and knowledge, then how can you try to grasp this process already? I am in no way, shape or form, stating we should not seek after knowing these questions, as we should, what I am stating is that these questions are one to seek out first, before claiming to know answers to. If you get knowledge from the church, you should seek out the knowledge from the bible first.
This sounds like a cop out, again, as if to say that when these supposid people show, I'll have build up a wall too powerful to breach. "Wise enough"? Is that some sort of play on words to undermine my current ability? "You're obviously not wise enough now, will you be wise enough then?" (and when you're not, because you clearly won't accept the same BS then as you won't now, I'll just confirm that no, you're not in fact wise enough to accept it.. and that'll be that...)
There is no such thing as 'free will' in Christianity
I spent years reading the bible; I was born into a fundamentalist Baptist family. I know a thing or two about the bible, having read it front to back on an occasion or two. Reading the bible is actually what made me realize how little sense it makes. I couldn't endorse a religion that takes it's moral guidance from a book that tells you that your god knew Adam and Eve would sentence the world to eternal damnation , and still let that happen. An all powerful being could have created a world of peace, happiness, and padded corners; instead we have pain, suffering, genocide, disease, and eternal damnation. The bible is not literal buddy. If you read it with consideration to the times within which it was written, it makes a lot more sense.
You are not understanding what I am saying, I am not claiming anything on your current wisdom. I am stating that when that day comes when these answers you are seeking are answered to you, as they currently have not been yet, will you accept them? I am not trying to undermine your current wisdom at all.
There are many things wrong with the fundamentalist beliefs, many that do not coincide with the true God of the bible. They are one of the worst out there, pharisees. If you go into reading the bible with what they teach, you cannot understand the bible because they do not teach the truth of the Holy Spirit, and it is the Holy Spirit that guides us into understanding the scriptures, without Him we cannot understand it.
Yes, god knows all, that's why all that time before humanity doesn't exist in the bible. The earth was "without form and void" before he first human, yet there is some rather compelling evidence to the contrary. Then, there's that business where Adam names ALL the creatures god created. Did he have some sort of submarine tech we haven't come close to rediscovering?
