Some people call that "conscience".it has meaning in relation to our perceived right to tell God He cannot make things the way He did and define them the way He did.
I know, I know, a hard concept for some automaton Christians to understand.
That would mean God does not allow God to define his own creation.potato potawto
i believe others have pointed out God creating based upon his eternal and immutable nature
You would be wrong to say that. But you seemed a little bit challenged when it comes to "definitions", so I let it slide.i'd say it "has the ability" or "has the function"
According to your "eternal and immutable nature" doctrine, God isn't allowed to do that.only if you don't allow God to define His own creation.
No, just making a necessary conclusion. If "bad" does not ultimately derive from God, it has to derive from something else... and according to your reasoning, this something else would be what "has the right" to define it.aha! a calvinist!
You want to have your cake and eat it too... but this doesn't work.
Either God can define his creation, or he cannot. If he can, based on nothing but himself, it is necessarily arbitrary. By definition, if you want.you must be on your knees when you beg the question
And you fail, constantly. Doesn't sound like a very good system, if you ask me.submitting to the authority of God the Creator is bad....got it
we are called to rightly divide the Word of Truth.
And "lie" and "contradiction" and "sin" is defined by... by...? God! Who is not bound to his creation. You really haven't thought that through, pal.false.
If God says He does not lie than He has bound himself to that and he will not lie, which logically follows that he won't contradict himself. God says He's thrice Holy, therefore He binds Himself to not sin.
God isn't as arbitrary as you would like to imagine.
I never said any of that. You should pay more attention to your opposite in a conversation and less to the voices in your head.i'm not sure how you would come to such a odd conclusion. good and bad have to do with the commands of God and whether or not we obey them. we're all sinners doing things we "ought not". i don't see how this means we don't exist or didn't do the things we do.
Thanks! Appreciation means a lot comming from a expert.cool story bro
