Excellent. I will pay you addequetly in the form you desire for your services, if you so choose.
VERY EXCELLENT. WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME TO DO?
My shadowy corner is fabulous. Yes, I would recommend getting one, or a cloak of invisibility
OH YES. I MUST. π

March 14, 2023 at 4:19 pm #136752(You make some great points! Thanks for sharing! I love and respect all those who subscribe to that view of God, because I agree with it in many ways. The Omni-God is a beautiful idea of His nature being so incomprehensible, that it is beyond all law or logic. It forms a kind of algebraic Nullity of sorts to absorb any argument against Him. Personally I still think that He is a God of natural law, and I can point out all the reasons why, but won’t unless you’re interested, because I want to end on your final point. I will mention though that though I believe that God is a God of natural law, I don’t believe that this is a restriction on Him in any way. He is all knowing, all powerful, all loving, and has full control of our universe, and I totally agree that we cannot understand His true nature in this life. Thanks again for your comments! I always love to hear the stead fast faithful testimonies of others! I once again emphasize your final point that we are brothers and sisters, and we all must love one another, and keep facing towards Him!)
He is perfect in Justice, yet He is perfect in Mercy, even when we fail Him. For this, He is good.

Ok. First. I shall now declare the neutrality of me within your question answer war. I enjoy questions but I also enjoy posing them in the form of statements and have an enjoyment of posing questions in desire of specific response. I shall follow convention however.

Anyway. I donβt actually know what mollinism is. In terms of the discussion of Gods omniscience I think of it something like {God knows everything possible to know in the present. Since God knows everything in the present he could accurately know everything that will happen in the immediate future. Repeat this.}

How did Noa fit all the animals on the ark?
What is the infinite coast of Britain? (@thearcaneaxiom this is specifically directed at you)

Through darkness,
light shines brightestMarch 15, 2023 at 5:46 pm #137093Were there not only two of each animal? And if, as I would think, animals weren’t split into so many different variations yet, wouldn’t that aid the explanation? For instance, wouldn’t there be just one or two main species of cats, and they became more diverse (not evolutionarily, there’s a difference) over time? Was the ark not big enough?
Also, have you heard of the Ark Encounter? (I have been there, and it definitely gives you a feel for how large the massive boat really was.)
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
March 15, 2023 at 7:00 pm #137111( I have not been to Ark Encounter but my grandparents have.
For the question of Noah’s ark (and getting the animals inside), I would personally use evolution to explain it (I feel like evolution gets a bad rap because some people take evolution too far and try to use it to explain away God. If you think about it though it would make sense for God to include evolution in his creation. It is basically just a way for him to provide updates.).Β If we were using evolution then we could just say that the number of creatures that needed to be fit inside Noah’s ark reasonably could because God would have kept his creation evolved to a point where it would work. This is very similar to your solution.)

@otherworldlyhistorian. (lol…I have no clue. π)
Who is that historical figure??????
March 15, 2023 at 7:17 pm #137117@freedomwriter76
I am almost certain you have done some research on him as you are writing a WW2 historical fiction. In this image, he is younger than most images of him that you see. He is actually really famous. His name starts with a S.

@otherworldlyhistorian, wasn’t he in seminary when he was younger?
(maybe I’m mistaken though…π )
March 15, 2023 at 7:32 pm #137124@freedomwriter76
You are correct π. It is Stalin. I don’t know about the seminary thing. You are correct on the seminary thing (I looked it up. Apparently he was a dropout). When I first saw this image I couldn’t guess it either. My AP euro teacher showed him to our class and one of the girls was like “he actually looks kind of hot”.
