  Which is why you should always speak properly. by pecosdave2003-02-27 05:44:53
    slight correction by plblark2003-02-27 06:43:12
      Calling NOLAWitch... by Naruki2003-02-27 06:59:20
        It just bugs me a little is all... by plblark2003-02-27 07:05:14
          At a guess, I'd say the "Jesus Christ" part. ;-P by Naruki2003-02-27 07:13:20
            heh! by plblark2003-02-27 07:34:23
              I'd have to disagree on that first sentence by Egaeus2003-02-27 08:08:38
                well, yes, if it WERE the word of god directly by plblark2003-02-27 08:22:06
                  So then by Egaeus2003-02-27 08:34:34
                    I think His rules are plain enough by slacktime2003-02-27 08:57:53
                      Wait a minute by Egaeus2003-02-27 09:05:56
                        Oh I don't disagree by slacktime2003-02-27 09:14:51
                          I agree by Egaeus2003-02-27 09:31:19
                            Maybe this will help by slacktime 2003-02-27 10:00:50
Imagine a man, a shrewd, successful man with great holdings and businesses. He wants to pass on to his children the things he has and the work he does, but he knows that his work will be wasted unless his children develop the abilities necessary to be as shrewd and successful as he is. He loves all his children and all his children desire to be included in his inheritance. He desires to be fair, but he knows that some of them are more capable of handling his affairs better than others. If he simply gives his inheritance away to those he knows will be the most successful, the rest will complain that they did not get a fair chance, so he devises for them a training school and a test. Each of his children will attend the school and have the opportunity to gain the necessary information and take the test. He knows ahead of time the probable outcome of the training and test based upon the natures of his children, but, the children can no longer complain that he was unfair and didn't give them a fair opportunity to receive a portion of the inheritance...

This isn't a perfect analogy but perhaps in it you can find a pearl to keep for yourself, or perhaps not

                              To make it a better analogy... by Naruki2003-02-27 10:11:39
                                Ah but that is where you and I differ by slacktime2003-02-27 10:17:32
                                That's where you differ with about 90% of Xians. by Naruki2003-02-27 10:21:24
                                that's ok Naruki by slacktime2003-02-27 10:35:46
                                I shall now call you King Arthur... by Naruki2003-02-27 10:40:35
                                And the purpose of that post was...? by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:34:44
                                A sour spin and horribly incomplete. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:22:48
                                And if the eldest refuses? by Naruki2003-02-27 10:28:35
                                The eldest didn't refuse. He voluneered. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:31:25
                                Are you an idiot? by Naruki2003-02-27 10:37:39
                                I'm sorry that my analogy was flawed by slacktime2003-02-27 10:44:07
                                Ooh, very humble. by Naruki2003-02-27 10:45:07
                                Nitpick by Egaeus2003-02-27 12:07:24
                                Do you really want to know? by YakkoWarner2006-11-19 12:55:59
                                Actually he rebelled ... by cristobal2003-02-27 10:39:55
                                A sour spin and horribly incomplete. by Naruki2003-02-27 10:43:26
                                You sound bitter. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:49:38
                                I know, I know ... by cristobal2003-02-27 10:51:29
                                But Jesus was the eldest and only begotten by Llyr2003-03-06 08:49:37
                              Not quite adequate by Egaeus2003-02-27 10:14:24
                                Maybe there is more to you by slacktime2006-11-19 12:55:59
                                But we keep coming to the question by Egaeus2003-02-27 10:47:53
                                Huh? by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:54:00
                                I think he was referring to this: by Spiff2003-02-27 11:01:52
                                I wonder what he thinks of Isaiah... ;) (n/t) by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:03:10
                                There's quite a difference by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:30:43
                                I'm still talking confusing style. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:39:32
                                That's all I ask by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:43:33
                                Just the style by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:02:30
                                Too bad by slacktime2003-02-27 11:05:54
                                So God should change his style to suit us? by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:20:33
                                It seems that by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:29:14
                                So you *do* want a translation. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:36:52
                                You are saying the Joe was 200 years old? by Naruki2003-02-27 11:53:02
                                I have no problem understanding by slacktime2003-02-27 12:14:06
                                Hold on... by Spiff2003-02-27 11:58:16
                                so knowledge removes freedom? by slacktime2003-02-27 10:58:10
                                That's the crux of the longtime debate by Nea2003-02-27 11:22:56
                                And we aren't likely going to solve it today? by slacktime2003-02-27 11:32:28
                                The latter option doesn't fly. by Arcanum2003-02-27 11:44:34
                                weakened omniscience by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:54:37
                                Yes. So is weakened omnipotence. :) by Arcanum2003-02-27 11:56:04
                                Turn it around by Ston2003-02-27 12:28:05
                                So he knows some things? by Egaeus2003-02-27 12:32:57
                                No by Ston2003-02-27 12:54:29
                                But if he knows the actions we will take by Egaeus2003-02-27 12:58:37
                                Because you're not getting it. by YakkoWarner2006-11-19 12:55:59
                                It didn't (n/t) by Egaeus2003-02-27 13:25:26
                                Nope, still doesn't work. by Arcanum2003-02-27 14:42:32
                                When we're talking about God, absolutely by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:34:35
