    Sabbath

    Sabbath and church in the same sentence is a misnomer. Notice he skipped right over the part of Exodus 16:29 where they were supposed to STAY IN THEIR PLACES on the Sabbath. And he skipped right over Acts 16:13 where Paul is walking around the river ON THE SABBATH.

    Sabbath

    So then why didn't God translate EVERY language spoken in Acts chapter 2 on the day of Pentacost in to Hebrew? I'm pretty sure that out of the DOZENS of languages heard in Acts 2, that "Yeshua" was not mention ONE TIME, but yet what was heard was everyone of them GIVING GLORY TO GOD. Did the...

    Sabbath

    I don't know what part of this you fail to understand but if you are going to be technical about using God's name "appropriately" His name is יהוה If you are insisting on using Hebrew instead of English, then why are you using English transliterations of the name? I was born and live in Israel...

    Sabbath

    First of all, when was the Sabbath instituted? "Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: 14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    And another thing to add to my previous comment to Luke, if God WANTED evil, why would Paul write , "Fathers PROVOKE NOT YOUR CHILDREN TO WRATH" in Ephesians 6:4? You mean it's OK for God to provoke men to wrath, but God doesn't want the same example from His own actions? Yet if God wants evil...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    Although Javert answered him on this, it was an unnecessary response. Accurate, but not necessary because as I explained to Jon, it is based on the loaded question fallacy. Free will is not dependent on exhaustive foreknowledge and thus there is no need to explain it. The question could likewise...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    If God WANTS evil to exist, then why is He planning on destroying it? That is a blasphemous statement that defies the very nature of the love of God. Justice punishes evil because being good by nature demands that it can not equally coexist with evil and demonstrate what God desires. God...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    , First, I will show you yet ANOTHER contradiction within your Creeds and Confessions: Westminster Confession 1646, Sec III "I. God from all eternity did by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass; yet so as thereby neither is...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    So we are freely choosing theoretical possibilities? If they are ACTUAL from God's perspective, when did the event change hands and become a theoretical possibility? If an event is going to occur, it is either an actual event or it is not, that doesn't change with perspective. In order for one...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    So you ascribe free will views to Deism (even though you improperly defined it) but then agree with a New Age Humanist like Shirley MacLaine who coined the phrase, "Whatever will be, we be"? Que sera, sera buddy! :)

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    Wow you just skipped over everything I said about Colossians which says exactly the OPPOSITE of what you accused me of. And where did I conclude that "God does not know all things"? I believe God DOES know all things, but knowing all things does not determine all things. Even though your...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    No, not because I say so, but because I've actually watched a rock fall off of a cliff before, I never asked myself, "why did God push that rock off the cliff", and I'm pretty sure the rock wasn't suicidal. A hiker walked by and his movement put a rock into position that enacted one of God's...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    NO, it is NOT the same situation that David was in. The angel did not tell Joseph in a dream, "Herod WILL kill baby Jesus", he said that Herod sought for his life, he didn't say Herod would succeed. Really? What part of God said "HE WILL COME DOWN" and then Saul NOT COMING DOWN is so hard to...

    Unbelievable brother, unbelievable. LOL LOADED QUESTION FALLACY http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question Also: (Philosophy / Logic) Logic the rhetorical trick of asking a question that cannot be answered without admitting a presupposition that may be false, as have you stopped...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    Well nice of you to ask a question about my education, and then answer your own question about it. I used other sources as a baby Christian, but when I grew up I studied the Bible almost exclusively. If you are admitting you are a still a baby Christian then I'll excuse the citations of the...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    When you ask a question you have to begin with a logical axiom and premise. There isn't one in your question. You are asking a question that assumes a false definition of knowledge as a premise, and then making conclusions based on a false premise. Therefore you are asking the wrong question...

    I was wondering how long it would take you to bring the Sabbath issue up.:sleep:

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    It doesn't have to explain how it's possible because the 2 are not dependent on each other. You are still equating the foreknowledge of God as a FORCE. It isn't. Just because God knows you will pick something does't mean He made you pick it. And, I gave a clear example from the Bible that shows...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    It's pretty simple, the 2 don't depend on each other. Exhaustive foreknowledge is simply another term for omniscience, and what God knows does not determine how men respond. You are turning God's knowledge into an independent force and turning knowledge into something that is prescriptive and...

    Is there really a conflict between Freedom and Sovereignty, if rightly defined?

    And here we go again with the citations of creeds and commentaries. Look, the Bible shows very clearly and simply that He DOES NOT DETERMINE EVERYTHING. I gave several examples FROM THE BIBLE, not a CREED, or a catechism, or a confession (which I have already shown to be faulty in another...
