Re: God's hit rate |
Andrew said:
According to Christians, God has only ever managed
to create one good being. Jesus Christ.
Actually, Jesus Himself is God and the Creator.
"The Word was God . . . And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us" (John 1:1,14).
"God was manifest in the flesh" (1 Timothy 3:16).
"All things were made by him; and without him was not
any thing made that was made" (John 1:3).
"By him were all things created" (Colossians 1:16).
Andrew said:
All the others either had no free will like the
angels, or were bad like the devil and humans.
It doesn't say that angels don't have free will. And
God didn't create the devil and humans as evil; they
became evil by their own free will.
"Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that
thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee"
(Ezekiel 28:15).
"God hath made man upright; but they have sought out
many inventions" (Ecclesiastes 7:29).
Andrew said:
His hit rate has so far been abysmal, and as yet he
hasn't been able to rectify the problem of creating
good beings without making them robots.
It doesn't say that the unfallen angels are robots.
Nor do Christian humans enter into the possibility of
being always-righteous by being made into robots;
instead, they are brought into the liberty and
righteousness of Jesus Christ by partaking of the
power of His Holy Spirit within them.
"The Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open
face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Corinthians
3:17-18).
"According as his divine power hath given unto us all
things that pertain unto life and godliness, through
the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and
precious promises: that by these ye might be
partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through lust"
(2 Peter 1:3-4).
"Ye know that he was manifested to take away our
sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him
sinneth not" (1 John 3:5-6).
"Ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the
body" (Romans 8:13).
Andrew said:
Jesus said that we must search everywhere for the
truth, that we must leave no stone unturned.
Actually, Jesus Himself is the truth and the stone.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me"
(John 14:6).
"Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture,
Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect,
precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be
confounded" (1 Peter 2:6).
Andrew said:
How naive and foolish is the man who thinks he can
get all the answers to life from one convenient
book.
It is the person of Jesus Christ Himself who has all
the answers to life, for in Him "are hid all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3).
It is by His Word contained in the Bible that we can
be certain of being brought into true knowledge and
into true righteousness.
"If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples
indeed" (John 8:31).
"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye
shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto
you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much
fruit; so shall ye be my disciples" (John 15:7-8).

You do not have that ability.

You are trying to post like Steve Winter then he did misqoute me seven
times at the end of his sig.
I am not sure what you think you see in using these statements, how
about telling us what you think it says, then a big hurt, is something
no one wants, I did not want to use the kind of language you and Steve
used so big hurt would do and even a child would know what that means.

For someone who brags so much regarding his education and who calls
himself "Dr." Knapp, perhaps you could take some lessons in basic
communication. Punctuation and spelling would be a good starting
point.

Evidently, you don't care either way.

Actually, you have bragged about it here and felt no need to justify
your "Bedroom Bible School" degrees when others asked specific
questions regarding them.
