Re: The Future Does NOT Exist. Therefore, God is Free.
Here is a point Swaggart brought ought many years ago: How can God be fettered by time - if the future does not exist as of this instant. In other words the future does NOT exist, so how can that be any kind of limitation on God? That's an interesting line of thought. If less than 100% of the futur...

Re: Is God Fettered by Time?
Well that being the case the future does not exist at this time as you say. It is called "the future", you know. And that means that God not knowing the future... is perfectly fine since there is nothing to know, then God is not limited. Nothing to know? Do you think there will be a future? If so, ...

Re: Is God Fettered by Time?
The future won't exist till the future is the present. We do, however, have God's word detailing future events like the world's end and the day of judgement. Well that being the case the future does not exist at this time as you say. And that means that God not knowing the future... is perfectly fi...

Re: Is God Fettered by Time?
To me, if God merely knows the future, He is fettered by time. Is God merely passively observing how events will play out in time? Or, is He the reason events happen as they do? Here is a point Swaggart brought ought many years ago: How can God be fettered by time - if the future does not exist as ...

Re: Heavenly minded
Colossians. 3:1-2; If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, were Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Great advice for those who are caught up with the problems of living amongst unbelievers and all th...

Re: Quote: People do not go to church because they are not Christians.
The catholic church is corrupt for sure. BUT the church of Jesus Christ is not. Church is not somewhere you go, but who you are. A gathering is where you go. This subject can get sticky because one can ask the question of what church (small c) isn't corrupt in some way, shape, or form? Why single o...

Quote: People do not go to church because they are not Christians.
People have become so worldly minded these days... that they have left God out of their lives... and don't even know it. Example: Many people no longer feel the need to go to church. I read this quote and after reading it and re-reading it about 15 times I finally understood it. Here is the quote: "...
