Unemployable Former Border Czar

I will vote for ANY CANDIDATE who stands against Israel Regardless of party Republican, Democrat, Independent- it doesn't matter.

South Africa should be designated an apartheid state and sanctioned into oblivion.

Seeing more and more 40+ y/o’s being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer than I’ve ever seen over my almost 25 yr medical career these past 2 years. And, yes, 100% have had something in common.

“Antisemite” used to mean someone who hates Jews. Now it means someone who is hated by Jews.

“He would have done the same if she was three years old.”

I do not know much about God, but He have us a Bible in which He expressed sorrow and regret about things people have chosen to do with their Free Will. That's not something an entity possessing complete knowledge of the future would do. Genesis 6:6-7 (ESV) And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux "No, God does NOT know exactly what you will do tomorrow. He gave you Free Will." Not sure if you're replying to me but... You just self defeated your own post... God is beyond your understanding, so everything you think you understand about Him is just speculation.

Does God know exactly what I will do tomorrow? Simple question. Yes or no?

@PegasusJF31 @StefanMolyneux A mere observer standing outside the universe has no effect on decisions made by humans having Free Will who live within that universe.

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux I'm describing God who is outside time as we know it, and sees it all at once.

@LexRexEst @StefanMolyneux Correction: I'm a follower of Jesus rather than a follower of Calvin.

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux It is true that creatures act freely. It is also true that God has ordained and purposed all things that come to pass. Pharaoh hardened his heart, God handed pharoah’s heart, etc. You’re not a Christian, so what’s the point of this discussion?

@what_the_hammer @StefanMolyneux You are simultaneously claiming: (1) God has no idea how bad things will turn out for most people; AND (2) God provided us a book that warns us things are going to turn out bad for most people.

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux The Bible

@what_the_hammer @StefanMolyneux What makes you think it turns out bad for most people? You have only observed an insignificant fraction of the length of time each individual will exist.

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux and in all his wisdom, he chose to have no idea how bad it would turn out for most people?

@what_the_hammer @StefanMolyneux Choosing to endow humans with genuine, unlimited Free Will is a gift. It is logically impossible to make that gift while also retaining omniscience. Presenting gifts to people is not negligence. You frequently do it yourself.

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux Yes, so he's not omniscient. Choosing not to be omniscient is negligence.

@GreatSageCorban @StefanMolyneux God is beyond our understanding, so everything you think you understand about Him is just speculation.

No. That isn't what I'm describing. I'm describing a being that exists beyond our physical reality. That reality includes time, as time is impacted by physical reality and is not a constant. (IE: gravity) A painter doesn't exist inside of the canvas he is painting. God is beyond our physical reality. Anything and everything all at once, and one at time.

@borntosolo @StefanMolyneux A more accurate metaphor is a man with a time machine. He can peer into the future to find out what you did back in the old days when you were still alive, but he won't do anything about it.

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux Dude, this wasn't a literal comparison. It's just a visual to begin to make sense of how it can work. If that's a problem to you, I question your sincerity in pursuit of understanding.

@RjectModernity As the author of logic, God put the limitations of logic on Himself.

@UkraineTrollbot Sounds like you're putting limitations on God.

The only wall I’d ever kiss is a completed border wall.

If humans don't have Free Will, there's no reason for God to be upset by anything they do, because everything was entirely predictable to Him before he created Adam. But the Bible clearly states otherwise: Genesis 6:6-7 (ESV) And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux Gay open theism

@PegasusJF31 @StefanMolyneux You are describing a God with a time machine who occasionally visits the future to find out what we posted on the internet back in the years before we died. His time machine has nothing to do with the question of Free Will.

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux That Free Will is not in opposition to a being that sees all time in our universe as a single NOW.

God did not decree or pre-ordain that Eve had to eat the forbidden fruit. She developed the desire for the fruit, and then made the decision, on her own, to taste it. Her decision was an expression of her unconstrained Free Will. The Biblical narrative is quite clear about that.

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux He gave you will, which is different from Will.

@RjectModernity No, He cannot do anything that's logically impossible.

@UkraineTrollbot Can God create a stone so heavy that he himself can't lift it?

This Bible is very clear about it: Genesis 6:6-7 (ESV) And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”

@UkraineTrollbot @StefanMolyneux So he makes people and chooses not to look at the consequences, even though he obviously can? Makes serpent, makes forbidden fruit. Crosses fingers it will a work out for the best? Like tossing a coin. This is hard to accept.
