What I need to know is how free will examines push up brassieres.

It means all-knowing--it doesn't mean anything else, and it doesn't mean anything less. What's that line of crap about "willfully screening things from his knowledge" supposed to mean? Do you suggest that an omniscient being (no sucha thing, without proof, and you've not offered any) could choose not to be all-knowing? It makes a ludicrous parody of your terms. . .
Not my idea. After hearing that others define omniscient as knowing all things by necessity, (including all future things) it is quite obvious to me that the word does not fit my understanding of God. I think I can make a reasonable argument from the bible to justify my understanding. In fact I have in several places.
But if, as you say, the bible is just a load of horsie poop, why would you bother to read it?
Unless you're just curious.
I did read it, three times, and out of curiosity, plain and simple. Specifically, though, i have said that the exegetics of the bible-thumpers is horsie poop.
Well, you're a nanny nanny nanny goat.
I'll dump more on you later.
You have a way with words, kev.
One hopes that is dry humor, given that you usually appear to be intelligent . . .

Just to be sure, you are aware, are you not, Neo, that Kevnmoon is just cuttting and pasting the too-long drivel of his "master," and that there is little evidence in these fora that he (Kevnmoon) has ever had and expressed a coherent thought? That is not to say that he is either stupid or commonly incoherent--just that he provides no evidence to the contrary.

Yeah, but I think he is basically a good guy. . .
'Scuse me while I put on some chap stick.
Actually, although it may not be evident, i have laid off the boy, precisely because i think he is a "good guy" . . . pass that over when you're done . . .
The chap stick?
You'd probably prefer a new one. . .
Don't get too literal, now . . .
Thanks, what you say about me comes from your goodness.
Perhaps translations can not preserve orginal thoughts and may be little mirror..
These chapters r builded on Qur'anic terminology.. English never cover this terminology.
Kev, I have trouble understanding your posts.
I mean real trouble.
I am a man of simple words.
If you make your posts shorter, I can perhaps work with you on your terminology.
For instance, why is it not possible to express Qur'anic terminology in English?
Does the true God require knowledge of Arabic for salvation?
Mr. Neologist,
Every language has a different beauty. Translations in all languages not as well as orginal. There are many Arabic words in Turkish. Also some Turkish Qur'an interpretations are use some special Arabic terms. Many Turkish People only read Qur'an, but don't understand. But they read translations and understand general concepts. But, as I said Qur'an can not translate as well as orginal..
For example.. letter, writer, the art of writing well, school, book words in Arabic come from same word. (He wrote) verb patern is changed to many words. Every verb is same position in Arabic. So there r many relationship amongs verbs and words. In translation relationships go away.
For example.. ALLAH is one word with five letters. If you lessen letters one and one it preserve meaning.
Allah : Allah-God
Lillah : For Allah
Lehu : To Allah
Hu : He (for Allah)
Allah Mathematic Mean is 66
Hilal (crescent) mathematic mean is 66 too. So, We don't write Allah on Turkish Flag, but put crescent as a symbol of Allah. It is our regard for Allah.
You know crescent is Islam symbol all over the world, because of that.
Qur'an Arabic contains so much things.
Every Prophet has specilities.. Jesus (AS) on Medical, David (AS) on mountains and iron,
Hz. Muhammed (ASM) on eloquence ..
But kev;
Does the true God require knowledge of Arabic for salvation?

Extra points for multiple punning!
No there is no need to Arabic for salvation..
Also you may pray in English.. If you know a little orginal things from Qur'an , it may be better. God looks to heart.
OK thanks kevmoon I understand.
