    Foreknowledge and Time

    Ephesians 1:4 (NIV) For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. It's Jewish writing practice from the perspective of God's absolute sovereignty. God foreknew who would be saved at the end, no doubt. However if we are saved only because God...

    Heb 2:3, 4 the end of miracles

    The author is rather more likely to be Paul who is a renowned Pharisee but not welcome by the Pharisaic authority which controls Judaism and subsequently the Jews back then. This forces Paul to go anonymous or hiring an assistant writer. Hebrews 2:4 (NASB) God also bearing witness with them...

    Evolution+Deeptime question

    The contradiction lies on whether humans have a soul or not. If yes then evolution must be false, unless scientists provide an explanation on how a soul is evolved from. While an explanation is more or less a belief, as pointed out above. :Agsm

    Why didnt God take away the choice without violating freewill

    There are many misconceptions involved here. First, freewill at the end means an entity (angel or human) is given the ability to oppose God by sinning against Law which defines how God is trespassed. So all entities with freewill are given the ability to stay with God or to oppose Him. Options...

    Soul Sleep yes or no?

    I speak for myself and from my experience, just as buried in the Jewish concept back in Jesus' days, "good people" fall asleep or enter God's rest, while "bad people" will be awaken in sheol/Hades till the Final Judgment comes (i.e., God refuses them to enter His rest).

    More potential arguments vs the Bible

    The atheists are so lost. The big picture is, it's shown in the story of Eden that Adem fell due to 1) lack of faith in God, and 2) lack obedience. Obedience is assessed by means of Law, which humans are doomed to fail. Faith is required by humans to live with God because relatively humans are...

    More potential arguments vs the Bible

    Another poorly asked question. It's not about confusion, it's about how human's capability of speaking unique language is disabled.

    More potential arguments vs the Bible

    This question is more like can God make a better equation than 1 + 1 = 2. The atheists missed the big picture. On earth human faith is assessed for a reason. In Eden Adam fell due to 1) lacking faith in God, and 2) lacking obedience. Obedience is assessed through Law which human failed...

    More potential arguments vs the Bible

    It's rather a description from the perspective of God's absolute sovereignty, which the Jews ofter use. "God hardened" means God knows in advance but refuses to change Pharaoh's decision. Exodus 8:32 But this time also Pharaoh hardened his heart and would not let the people go. That's why it...

    The Atheist Asks

    This is a Satan's trick for atheists to fall for. How do you know that you had eggs before the age of two? How do you know that your own grandpa's grandpa was buried in a tomb or not? What has been leveraged here is humans' incapability or low capability to get to the past. It sounds as if...

    Is Matthew 24:34 grounds for skepticism?

    A prophecy is for a prophet to foretell a near future, then for God to foretell a far end. Example, Matthew 24:15-16 So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— then let those who are in...

    Isn't God of the Bible a hypocrite?

    We need to forgive because we don't know who at the end is a brother in Heaven. Vengeance however belongs to God as God knows who is who.

    What Happens When We Die?

    We humans can't see what lies beyond our death, whether life continues or not. It is so because it's said that the Tree of Life is hidden from us. In modern days we heavily rely on our knowledge to make a judgment on whether we should prepare such a future beyond death. However, human knowlege...

    What is the doctrine of total depravity?

    The big picture is, God would build an eternity we call Heaven. Law is like a promise given that if one passes the Judgment of Law, the completely sin-incompatible God would bear with him in eternity no matter what. God need happiness too. Sin will Him very unhappy. Heaven is a place for the...

    Beware of circular reasoning!

    Do you read OT? Do you mean to say that OT is not Jewish or the Jews are wrong about OT?

    What did Christ say about the Law?

    Law can be spoken in multiple perspectives. The big picture is, God would like to build an eternity we call Heaven for humans and angels to live with a sin-incompatible God happily forever. Law is thus set up to decide who can enter this eternity. Law is like a promise from God saying that...

    Beware of circular reasoning!

    More often humans don't know what they are talking about. We often overestimated human capability. Is it Biden or Trump won the majority vote? Subconsciously we evaluate the situation by means of whether information are conveyed in a legitimate way. If it is conveyed legitimately, it stands as...

    Why Trinitarians And Non-Trinitarians Have Different Beliefs?

    Would ants understand a human fully? If you would save a hive of ants would you set a prerequisite demanding that ants must fully understand humans in order for them to be saved? Understanding God's Trinity is not a prerequisite for our salvation, it's rather an ackknowledgment to those who can...

    If God says do not kill why does He kill?

    Because God's morality is set on souls, not bodies. God literallly kills each and every single human in one way or another, as curse brought by Adam and Eve. It is a Law enforced action. What God cares is where humans' soul will go after they died. Saving every single soul possible remains His...

    No where in the Renewed Covenant

    Sabbath is enforced in Jewish laws, such that, - today's humans will adapt a 7-day calendar to determine the pattern on which they rest. Enjoy your weekends. - God's ultimate sovereignty is displayed as all mankind is adapting such a 7-day calendar to work and to rest - the Jews can practise...
