Quote: Pariah said: How does being expectant of the truth make him non-omnicient?
i never read it as god being expectant of the truth.
Quote: Pariah said: As a Catholic I retain the assertion that we are Jews simply fulfilled. Klinton's not off there. We still retain their beliefs of Yaweh but also accept the newly fulfilled covenant.
fair enough.
though others who do not share that definition, including myself, would feel christianity has not outlasted other major faiths.
Quote: klinton said: But to assume that He was unaware of anything is presumptuous.
perhaps. though, its mostly presumptuous for anyone to read anything into the bible, isn't it?
Quote: klinton said: Have you ever stepped back and wondered if maybe this was allowed to happen (immediately after the fact He uttered the first prophecy upon mankind). The universe is infinite....all His works.
It is logical that He would allow a portion of that to defy His will, if for no other reason than to prove to the infinite others the results of such defiance (just a theory...).
also possible if we're "presuming" god meant to have man defy him. but, as said, i never read it as such. to me, the text presented itself as god taking on a more human form (like a pre-jesus), and having human-like qualities (walking, talking, physical form, questioning, etc).
Quote: klinton said: It was not the religion of Christ...dumbass. He spent a large part of his ministry deconstructing it...
whoa-hoa. first off, this is a discussion on religion. lets not bring up irony.
secondly, christ, from my readings, was disgusted by the modern representation and bastardization of the jewish religion in his time (spilling the tables of money, visiting those shunned by others), etc. however, he was still jewish.
