@gold einstein,

That's not a definition, gold. That's just adulation.

Hmmm... maybe he doesn't own a dictionary or is aware of that there are dictionaries online.

Here's another.

in Leviticus 26:27-31 God, via Moses wrote:

.27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
.29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
.31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

By all knowing, do you mean that he must, by necessity, know your future?

Or is he able to screen this knowledge much like you would not read the final page of the whodunit

@neologist,

Gods name in memorial, which he shall be known for eternity is YHWH [ya way, silent y] it means continuous motion, it is a verb. Yeshua means god saves. elohim means US , as in father, son and spirit. In the OT god was known as EL which just means God but after giving the 10 commandment tablets to Moses he answered a question by Moses and said I am YHWH.

Humans live only in 3 dimensions that we are aware of with our 5 senses. But what is coming to be known by science is that there is other dimensions just next to us. The spirit of man which can become seperate from the body can see these other dimensions when he/she is seperated from the body.

No one soul or many souls are predetermined for heaven or hell. But God knows all things through his wisdom so he knows who will end up where.

There is literally thousands upon thousands of attributes of YHWH, wise, infinite, sovereign, holy, he has shown himself in 3 ways to man.....the universe declares his existance and glory, Jesus is him in the flesh and when Jesus sent the Holy spirit to dwell close to mankind as a comforter and teacher. He is faithful to his word and promises and forgiving to whomever asks. God is order, causation, morality and design. He is passion and his passion is for humans, created in his own image.

How can one believe such crap?

Let's take it he created us (you and I) in his own image:

- Having such distinct beliefs, he must be schizofrenic.

- He is also paranoid, thinking that some plot from the devil is going on..

- Given the order ruling this world, caused by men, made in his image, I don't give a rat's ass about how orderly he can be..

- Man is the causation of uncountable torments, so is god.

- What morality has a god that kills those who don't follow his rules, slaughters innocent babies, lapidates women and so on?

- What final design (eschatology) is that, making people eternal slaves?

You should think before profering such inanities, Philis...
