Re: Destroying The Righteous With The Wicked
Moreover, arguments concerning foreknowledge of sin is contradictory to Lot and his daughters sinful behaviors, yet they were declared righteous? Didn't God know Lot's wife would disobey His command and perish? Or, Lot would offer his daughters up to be viciously ravished? Yet, they were more right...

Re: Destroying The Righteous With The Wicked
God is all-knowing. That is beyond dispute. But to know in advance what a free-will agent will choose is a contradiction. It is in the same category as saying that God is all-powerful, and thus He can create a rock so heavy that He cannot lift it. If God knows in advance what a person will choose t...

Re: Destroying The Righteous With The Wicked
... Hello my friend, Yes, I understand your reply, however you did not address how Lot was more righteous than children or infants. Moreover, God said all children and infants were in-fact more wicked than Lot. Was there not one baby or infant that Lot and his family could have adopted into their o...

Re: Destroying The Righteous With The Wicked
I agree young children can't be righteous or unrighteous. Righteousness has to do with a true loving relationship with God. Many of the prophets did terrible things but were forgiven (made righteous) by their faith. Lot's wife was set for an example for us. We are not to look back on our sin being n...

Re: Destroying The Righteous With The Wicked
I actually see the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as a loving act. The people there were suffering miserably. It is much like a person who takes their dog to the vet. The dog is suffering and there is no hope at this point for treatment. People who love their animals have them put to sleep in the...

Re: Can eunuchs marry?
Thank you Steve for your thoughtful reply. I agree the most common topic in today's discussions regarding sexes is because of a dysphoria of the mind that we need to help people with compassionately. I feel very sorry for these people as they have been brainwashed by a culture that is in some ways n...

Can eunuchs marry?
In the news there have been reoccurring events where Christians will either not bake a cake or not take photos for a gay wedding. I have been trying to figure out if this is a correct response or an incorrect one and what I would say on the subject if it arose. So far I am very much leaning towards ...

Re: Grudem on Election and Open Theism
I agree with your conclusion. I arrive at the same, but I think I see it slightly differently. God is omnipresent. This can be a very difficult concept to grasp with the human brain but this means he is not only simultaneously experiencing all places, he is also experiencing all times. If you think ...

Re: Holding Minority Opinions
I don't think there has been a time in history where truly doing what God wanted wouldn't make you a kook. Many times in history it would get you persecuted or even killed. The challenge we face is we are moving in the wrong direction in America making it harder and harder. We are supposed to rejoic...

Re: Holding Minority Opinions
I am in a similar situation. I am glad though you came to the right conclusion on the evolution front. Rather than seeking the popular answers, instead I have been trying to find those with the truth whether popular or not. I am trying to find a church that I feel teaches correctly or even just some...
