    Honestly, I thought I had made it clear that I don't care what you all think...? I don't mind it because it can't hurt me. Everyone's entitled to their opinions at the end of the day, I'm fine and dandy!


    I may have had a short time on this Earth so far, but that doesn't mean I haven't grown my own thick hide. Trust me when I say I don't care what you think. I do care how you feel though! Therefore, I hope it's heartening to know that no one has to fret such a conundrum!

    Have a nice day, sir!

    You should not care at all that I think that you are a self obsessed brat with the lowest IQ in The Western Hemisphere. We live in an day and age where drooling retards like Greta Thunberg, who cannot even stay in school, somehow get the attention of those too dumb to spot the difference between ignorance and stupidity.

    What you should care about instead is what Jesus Christ, who suffered and died for you, want's. Jesus want's you to stop destroying your immortal soul. Now!

    I just saved your immortal soul. You're welcome!

    I don't think so. You're falling susceptible to the fallacy of equivocation. God does not change but that doesn't mean He's always doing the same thing, for example during a denunciation God was doing something different from when He was creating a companion for Adam. Satan on this occasion had been acting through a Tyrian king:
    Ezekiel 28:13a-17b
    Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness

    Your uses of "change" are not equivalent. God is alive but God does not change. He is more alive than we are but doesn't grow or learn in the way that we do. What we do necessitates change. What He does does not. He is the reason you're alive but from your comments regarding morality and religion it's more like you're saying that God is alive because we are alive. As though without earthly life there would be no spiritual life. You might as well say that life comes from us and is imparted to an imaginary God. That is not how The Bible explains it.
    John 1:3-5
    All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
    I John 5:12-13
    He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
    III John 1:11
    Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

    This is where the peril of your equivocation becomes clear. The type of change occurring when walking, for instance, is where one changes from taking one's weight on one leg (the left, say) to a different leg (the right, in this case) assuming you're not a horse or a centipede in which different changes would be occurring – but still the same type of change.
    What God requires is a completely different category of change, from the unspeakably foul condition of our birth as He sees it to a sinless condition in which we suddenly become alive for the first time. That is in no way equivalent to changes between your legs when walking. Sin and death are synonymous for all practical purposes and our lives so-called without God are a long drawn-out process of death. Caused by sin. The sin you see no reason to change. The sin you use to define yourself as static. But there is an alternative. Turn to Him today. Turn to Him before it's too late.
    I John 3:6
    Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

    Oh, and a good afternoon to you, Miss Fritzensteine: I am sure that it might be a bit puzzling to you as to our approach here at . You see, Dear, it's just that we are here to ensure that the Gospel of the is the focus in all that we do here at . Our mission is quite simple, and it is to obey the direction of the :

    Mark 16:15 " And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."

    Nowhere there does it say that we are to spend endless hours doing chit-chat, "I like your hat" style of conversations. That's not to say that we are not interested in lively, friendly discussion. But, we are not a debating society, and we are not a social club. This is not the sort of place where one might meet up to see a film or to talk about favorite musical styles, or to find a dinner companion. We strive to put the first and foremost in all of our activities, whether it be by giving assistance to those who need help in understanding the black-and-white messages contained within the blessed , or by helping the lost sheep (such as yourself) to find their way to safety in the Bosom of the .

    Now, I do realize that you are not interested in the salvation that is offered by the of , but it is my hope and prayer that you will see the error of your way, Dear, and cease in rejecting this free gift. It is not the intention of the that any should suffer eternal damnation, but I must say that He is quite clear about the fate of those who reject -- and this includes you:

    Matthew 25:41 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels".

    Matthew 23:33 "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"

    I do hope that this will be the day when Miss Fritzensteine gives her heart and soul to the . Oh, just think of the wondrous joy when you make many angels very happy!

    Luke 15:10 " Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."

    And homers don't frequent truck stops for romantic fulfillment. It's clear you're one of those Spiritual Homers whose affection and love has been twisted by serving Satan so long you cannot even see the Light! You poor sweet summer child you, you are a willing dupe of Satan and you think you like it! You think the spiritual orgasms he gives you are the best thing life can offer, but let me assure you that saving yourself for Marriage with Christ will blow your ever lovin' mind! You can rededicate your Spiritual Virginity and Jesus can Forgive you for being the Spiritual Slut you are!


    Glory!

    I appreciate the intricacies of your response! I particularly enjoyed reading the portion pertaining to astrophysics, very interesting!

    The word "science" is not helpful. It isn't a thing in the way that "geography" is a thing unless applied to "understanding" more broadly, as Ashpenaz appreciated the term:
    Daniel 1:1-5 excerpt
    3a And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs,
    3b that he should bring certain of the children of Israel,
    3c and of the king's seed, and of the princes;
    4a Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured,
    4b and skilful in all wisdom,
    4c and cunning in knowledge,
    4d and understanding science,
    4e and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace etc.

    Perhaps "understanding" would suffice. But in "science" a specific type of understanding is inferred. It is however a word that's frequently misused and so-called scientific investigations are dragged in to contradict God in ways that Daniel would never have countenanced. God never changes. God is unique in this respect. When you say you're not intending to change in the present, not intending to change in the future, not intending to change at all in other words, you are claiming something unique to God.
    Malachi 2:17 – 3:9 excerpt
    17a..Ye have wearied the LORD with your words.
    17b..Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him?
    17c..When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD
    3:1a
    Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me
    ..5a
    And I will come near to you to judgment;
    ..5b and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers,
    ..5c and against the adulterers,
    ..5d and against false swearers,
    ..5e and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless,
    ..5f and that turn aside the stranger from his right,
    ..5g and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
    ..6a For I am the LORD, I change not etc.

    How cosmologists or astrophysicists describe the universe is changing all the time. They say it's doing this or that and coming up with gaps in their model which they then announce as new discoveries precisely equal to the gap they've just identified! They might as well say that the universe is an interference pattern resulting from two other universes interacting in an arena they're unable to observe with features such as positive and negative charges or magnetic polarity being peaks and troughs in the pattern (there'd need to be a symmetrical group of such features no doubt - let's face it: anything goes) and immediately you've solved the problem of dark energy. It's just the other universes attempting to occupy the same space at the same time and moving through one another. Obviously the interference pattern will be dynamic and appear to change its dimensions, from our point of view, and what we call space & time simply some sort of artefact deriving from our system of co-ordinates. No room for God.

    And yet God used Daniel. Daniel's circumstances changed, one day the burning fiery furnace, another the the den of lions. King Nebuchadnezzar's circumstances changed too, from mighty king to crawling around in the dirt eating grass. He tells us this himself. Through all these vicissitudes only one standard remained firm. God's standard. Understanding that standard is the key to knowledge: what agrees with it is true; what disagrees with it is false.

    Which category would you say your claims come into?





    1. Daniel 3:1-29
    2. Daniel 6:1-23
    3. Daniel 4:1-34

    You've mistaken God's Favorite Forum for some internet Rest Stop, dear. This is not appropriate. This is not the place to stop in for a "quickie" like the homers do, hoping no one they know sees and recognizes them in the dark, moist corners of the rest stop, bent over and grabbing their ankles for the nearest homer to come and service them quickly, quietly, forcefully, humiliatingly. If you're looking for spiritual homer trysts, this isn't the place and I would advise you to move along, dear.

    I'm happy with myself and my beliefs; I'm not hurting anyone, and I'm doing my best every day. I think that's all that matters! I plan to enjoy this Earth as long as I'm on it, and whatever comes after death will be a brand new experience I can look forward to when it gets here.


    There's a quote from one of my favorite pieces of media, a podcast called Welcome to Night Vale, and I think it does a better job of explaining it than my own ramblings do!



    “The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present.”


    Thanks for the question, I hope you have a lovely day!

    I can't remember this person either, Brother Cranky. But just take a look at this:

    This illustrates the entirely unbiblical tit-for-tat approach so very typical of today's whiny, self-obsessed generation.

    I've known her for a day and I already hate her a great deal (Proverbs 8:13). Therefore your hatred of Ditzy must be several orders of magnitude more that that. Praise Jesus for such righteous hate!
