'kay - your erudite, profound, recondite response has won me back! (I hope you realize I was just joking before)
However, when you said this --> "not that the chances for things being accomplished are ever very good on these forums anyway" -- c'mon now - negative Nellies make baby Jesus cry
I do have a bible question for you, though, pastor. An Evangelical friend of mine tells me that God not only knows me in my past and present existence, but also in my future thoughts and deeds that have not yet happened. Is that right? I mean, in the story of Job, the whole point of the Devil getting God to test Job seems to imply that God doesn't know what Job will do or how he will react. I mean, after all, when God gets ticked at Job at the end of the story for failing the test of love and faith, does it really make sense that He would have gotten pissed off if He knew the outcome of the whole thing before hand? I was just wondering what the best way would be to approach this question, so when I am talking to my friend again I won't sound completely stupid; John |
