Hi Nick,That sounds kind of strange.Do you mean God's will can be acceptable to humans,or acceptable as to mean not quite good or perfect?I don't understand.Tim

Hi Unisage,Are you saying that we can not trust the New testament?Tim

Hi Nick,Seriously, you said “None of the creeds were written by anointed men of God.”How do we know for a fact that they were not anointed by God?After all, you said that God can even use donkeys to do his will.How do we know that the men that decided on the canon of the bible that we believe in were anointed by God?TIm

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 16 2007,06:05)Hi Tim4, Does being made in the image of God demand we know all that God knows?Hi Nick,No, but it demands that we kow the difference between good and evil. For how else can we choose good over evil?Tim

God knows the difference between good and evil.How could Adam and Eve have ever been created in the image of God unless they too were able to discern between good and evil?Adam and Eve did exactly as God planned from the beginning.They ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.Everything is unfolding as God planned.Tim

In case you did not catch it. I added the comma after “look upon me.”Tim
