So...god already knows what will happen in the future. And god is infallible so that means you can't change it...so does free will actually exist? [Spirituality & Religion]

I know that this is an old question but i've never really talked about it before.

And this is compounded if we believe that biblical prophecies are legitimate.

How do we square inviolable predetermination with free will?

I'll answer your questions when you answer mine.

@GodSpeed63 No you won't.

You never have yet.

You consistently divert, obfuscate, and copy-paste banalities.

The one thing you [i]never[/i] do is to answer anyone's questions

Don't give me that. You know better than that. It's you guys who've never given straight answers and you know it.
@GodSpeed63

Wow....is that really your perception of this relationship?
That we don't give [i]you[/i] straight answers?

So over there where i asked you to repeat your question so that i could answer it and you said "i'll answer yours when you answer mine", that was your idea of a straight answer?

You're still stalling aren't you?
@GodSpeed63

Nope.
Already answered (what i think?) is your question elsewhere.

Here i'm just expressing genuine shock that you could be so obliviously hypocritical.

lol you know what? Fine. Let's talk about stalling for a second.

Let's see your responses when i tried to get you to answer a direct question about how creation and the flood story account for the stratification in the fossil record:

[quote]I choose to pray for you.
Tell me why you need to know. What are you getting at?
What's the big deal?
God is more real than you or i could ever be.
[/quote]
So did you ever get to an answer for how creation and the flood story account for that evidence?
No?

Then don't you dare talk to me or anyone else about stalling! 😆

You're still stalling aren't you? Do you have answer or don't you?
@GodSpeed63

lol What is [i]wrong[/i] with you?

I answered your question. John didn't know because these microchips do not meet the requirements for the prophecy.
If that is not the question to which you are referring then ask me the question you want answered.
If you take issue with that answer then make your case here.

Just
Stop
Stalling
You coward.

So i've answered your question. Now you will answer mine.
How does creation and the flood story account for the stratification of fossils?

@Pikachu [quote]What is wrong with you?[/quote]

Nothing. Still waiting for answer is all. Do you have one or not?
@GodSpeed63

Ask me the question right now and i will answer it.
Otherwise you're just playing games.

@Pikachu [quote]Ask me the question right now and i will answer it.[/quote]

Why should I ask it again? You know where to find it.

@GodSpeed63

Why should you ask it a gain?
Because you're a grown up who believes in clear communication and honest discussion and i'm telling you that i don't know which question you want answered.

So are you going to keep stalling or are you going to show me that you actually want to move this discussion forward and ask the question?
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Pikachu [quote]Then why didn't you choose to be a winner?[/quote]

You must have short memory loss then. If you'd answered my question when it was first asked instead of stalling the way you did, I wouldn't have to ask it again.
@GodSpeed63

If you were honestly trying to encourage clear communication then you would simply re-state your question.

So since you are interested in clear communication, re-state your question.

Unless you're just stalling...

@Pikachu [quote]You would claim that they were faked or a misinterpretation of the rainfall data.[/quote]

How do I know you're not going to stall this time when I ask it? I wouldn't want you to lose your memory of it again.
@GodSpeed63

You done linked the wrong post, dude.

But if you ask me the question you want answered then i promise i'll answer it.
Because i'm an honest debater.
I take pride in meeting challenges head on instead of playing silly games.

You understand, once i answer your question, you will be obligated to answer mine. Is that why you're drawing this out so absurdly?

So ask away and i'll answer, unless there's some reason you're afraid to...

@GodSpeed63 For someone with nothing to say, you’re certainly wasting a lot of words (and other people’s time) saying it

You could've fooled me.

Possibly because your ears are stopped up. Nothing is more worse than one who has eyes to see but will not see and ears to hear but will not hear. No doubt you will quote that back to me. The only difference is that the Truth abides in me and not in you. The good news is He can abide in you though is you'd let Him.

Ask your question, coward.

This shouldn't be hard for you.


Ask the question and i will answer it.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Pikachu [quote]Ask the question and i will answer it.[/quote]

I doubt that. You've already tried to avoid once and you have poor memory loss, or did you forget that also?

One more thing. If you're going to call someone a coward, start with yourself first.
@GodSpeed63

Ask me the question or leave.

Strike two, coward.

@Pikachu [quote]Strike two, coward.[/quote]

You're calling the right person a coward this time, yourself, being that you already strikes against you.
