Quote (Ed J @ Oct. 22 2012,18:35)Hi Gene,No-one here is suggesting that our “Free Will” is free of influences.God blessEd J (Joshua 22:34)http://www.holycitybiblecode.orgYou know what Ed,Im curious. Who says we have free-will? Who came up with that concept or in other words, where does this word “free-will” come from?What is free-will?

The opening chapters of Genesis refute everything you said in your obsurred  accusations towards Gods character. But its not strange that people have such faith in…[Read more]

Tim,Quote You didn't mean any god, just the particular Hebrew God.Well no, more as the idea of a Creator. Even the polyistic beliefs have some kindof orgins of a king of the gods.  Such as Zues with his gods, or the Titans. There is an Idea that the most powerful God created and what not, but what inspires that kind of thought. Quote I said a…[Read more]

Tim, Quote I am not stu, and I am anxious to see his reply, but you said anyone could chime in.I think that gods were originally created by man to give him answers to questions that he didn't understand.What is lightning? Of course god threw his fiery spear down to earth.What is thunder, it is god roaring angrily. Those kinds of things.I sure did,…[Read more]
