    On the omniscience of God

    One way to start looking at the subject of God's omniscience is that God created all things. God created the heavens and the Earth in the beginning. Genesis 1:1. As such, God is knowledgeable of all things that he created. He made something out of nothing, God created. A God smart enough to...

    The false dichotomy.

    The idea of 6 days of creation is not substantiated by the record in the Genesis 1 If we actually believe God knows what he is talking about and that he can pick his vocabulary accurately we will read that God did not create on every day otherwise he would have said he created on every day he...

    "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." Indeed. Fear in the KJV, in the old Engllish of the KJV, could be understood as reverence or respect. It is recognition of the superiority of another. The enemies of the Lord God should fear, be afraid of God's power and authority, however...

    Are you a son of God? Is God your heavenly father?

    We should ask why God, as the sole author of scripture, have Paul refer to being "born again" God, being the sole author of scripture, was going to have Peter write those truths down Why didn't Paul make reference to Jesus being born in a stable? Because God was going to have Luke write that...

    Are you a son of God? Is God your heavenly father?

    Actually, cherry picking in a positive sense, is a very good way to learn the meaning of scripture. If you want to go to an orchard to pick cherries, you should to a cherry orchard, not a corn field, nor an apple orchard. If you are looking for cherries you should go where cherries are found

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Yes, God illustrates the devotion we should have to Christ as the devotion a wife should have to a husband, a husband who would and actually had laid down his life for his bride. We are members in particular in the body of Christ, as you say, as scripture teaches, not the bride of Christ...

    God And Job And Suffering: All Is Well That Ends Well

    That is demonstrated in Job, for sure. However, it is not because God wishes us evil or is the cause of suffering but because God is just. God allowed Satan to mess up Job's life because of Job's fears. If you believe you receive, if you fear, which is negative believing, you also receive...

    God And Job And Suffering: All Is Well That Ends Well

    As we continue to be faithful to God as Job was, anything and everything that Satan throws against us can and will be overcome. Job overcame his fears and thus was able to believe God again. Job recognized that his fears was the opening that allow Satan to ruin his life. Job 3:25

    Did God create animals to live for a while and then die?

    What God tells us we have the opportunity to learn, what God's word does not tell us, we do not have the opportunity to learn. Those things that God has not revealed is not available for us to know, that, regarding truth. Did death exist before the sins of Adam and Eve? It did not for Adam...
