With talk about forcing large companies to demand vaccines or weekly testing from their employees, it seems to be going from, "You need fifteen days in quarantine", to "You need to get two shots in order to support your family".

Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? (Isaiah 45:9) This verse specifically speaks against people who are aware of God yet question God's...

Job 12:23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again. We've got a bunch of America-hating people in America who don't realize how much the left operates like the Nazis did. I'd love to see America thrive again, but I'm also looking...

If God isn't the ultimate cause of everything, then things have happened which do not have God's creation in the beginning as a starting point. Who else do you believe creates alongside God? Isaiah 45:5-6 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though...

Biden blamed President Trump for Covid deaths. Now he sits in Trump's position with Covid deaths. But he doesn't blame himself for Covid deaths as he blamed Trump. Instead, he has shifted the blame to the unvaccinated citizens. Why? If the unvaccinated citizens are at fault now, why weren't they...

I think if you aren't addressing a God who is inherently Good no matter what He does, so that Good is defined by Him, then you aren't addressing God of the Bible. Then, your question at best becomes equivalent to, "How can we know God exists?" So, maybe quit walking in circles.

As you find the simple message above to be nonsensical, I figure you can't have a meaningful discussion with me. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the helpful interpretation. Considering Devin's like on your post, I figure it's at least close to, if not totally accurate :)

I asked you if I had your position correct and you said no. So was I wrong? where? Or were you ignoring the question and addressing something else? Then you shared what you don't believe. I appreciate you sharing more of what you believe and don't believe, but the "following" which you...

Yes, thank you. You do not believe in the Determinism defined in this thread. So when you say you believe in a combination of Determinism and Free Will, you mean you do not believe in Determinism. Is that all correct?

Thanks Devin, but does this answer my question?

You believe man has power to think which is not controlled by God, but you believe God controls all things. This is a logical contradiction. If we are going to speak in simple and direct terms, then we should say you really don't believe God controls all things. Is that correct?

Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. John 3:6-7 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must...

That would not matter. As you say, Scripture says he holds everything together. Sin is a thing.

Right. Nothing is free from God in that sense, because He governs everything. He is God of everything. He doesn't become a mere spectator over some parts of His creation, as if He were a mere man. He is consistently God over everything. God of all things. God. Not merely spectator, but God. All...

"God" creates and governs the person's will by necessity. That's what it means to be God over persons. A "God" of love creates and governs the person's will by necessity. That's what it means to be God over persons.

You agree He holds sin together. Thank you for supporting my point.

Of course God caused it. He is God. Nothing within creation happens apart from Him righteously causing and controlling it. In the beginning, God... Did you miss that? He is the ultimate cause. In the beginning, God... Isaiah 45:7 “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and...
