I thought this whole thread was speculation? How do you know he didn't? We've moved way past the realm of provable fact into the realm of pure spculation. The Bible, especially the OT, is open to interpretation and so you have to start assuming things. I was just trying to exercise some logic into all of this. If it were actually provable beyond a shadow of a doubt, it would have been done so long ago and we wouldn't need this conversation.slotted said:

There's always blue letter bible or e-sword. E-sword is a free program that you can download with strong's concordance, and you can also download various other versions, christian literature, biblical maps, charts, etc.Bustem' Down said:I'm not properly equipped here at work for some bible olympics.

It would still take me too long and I no longer have the patience. I really gave up on all of this when I gave up religion. I prefer logic.slotted said:
Interesting question - it was explained to me once as looking at a sign above a doorway which reads "All are Welcome" (free will) and when you get through the doorway and look back, there is a sign which reads "You were Chosen" (predestination). Difficult to answer the question without a faith basis, but in essence, God knows the outcome already so, in that sense, all is predestined. Basically, God doesn't run on our timeline so the end (destiny) is already known.slotted said:
