But He could still stop all the suffering right now at this instant. Yet He thinks His own interests are more important. Right?

(1) Well something had to exist from the "getgo" yet the science seems to point to a beginning. (2) Again, science also points this way. My whole aim is to mesh science, personal experience and the Bible into one coherent model that works scientifically and in our daily lives. It would take...

Born again means: (1) Spirit<-->spirit (work together as in marriage plus union/infusion, symbolised by sexual union) (2) spirit-->soul (3) soul-->body (but the body has old habits in it that don't always get overriden immediately by the soul, it takes some time) From experience, not everything...

@JAL Two more things: First is clarification. My sin before regeneration changes me. I get affected by the sin spiritually. As I showed in the previous diagram. But when I am born again, my sin is only external and not internal. My actions do not change who I am or what I am. Over time our...

So what is marriage? Sex only? Of course not. Me and my wife are one. I already gave a short list of practical ways we are one. Again, my spirit becomes infused with the Holy Spirit and we become one in the same way my wife and I are one. It is not incoherent, it is completely coherent. I've...

Yes I agree, our regenerated spirit does not sin. It is impossible. I agree. He makes us holy, I agree. We become one with the Spirit just like I am one with my wife. Not incoherent.

Not exactly. God and time have always existed in heaven with its own laws, but our universe did not exist in any sense, therefore space-time as we know it began. Ok so time began when matter began. This is what I also believe. However you are arguing the negligibly conscious matter just...

No, that is still a problem because you still haven't explained how there can be a cause before time exists. I understand you're trying to argue that a logical subsequence is a part of the thing itself and is somehow outside of time but still can begin time, but this is incoherent. But this is...

This has some similarities to how I think about it. But there are some big differences. I believe after we sin, our bent is toward sin from then on. It affects our soul in this negative way and even tarnishes our spirit. Our choices and thoughts become confused and sinful. After a new birth into...

The brain creates pathways i.e. habits. If we break a habit that is by creating a new pathway. However the old pathway still exists. Our brains never delete those thought pathways. So after we're regenerated it takes some time for plus new birth to take over those old pathways a nba create new...

But your solution is not foggy, it's just incoherent. Your idea of a logical sequence starting all motion does not make sense, and a starting mass that does not exist in time breaks the idea of space-time. From what i can make out this is a huge problem in your model, probably the biggest problem.

You should know by now I don't sit with the common thought. I am holy. If my actions do not reflect that, or my heart in some way, there are still old habits in my physical body that need to come into line with who I actually am. That is the other reason I didn't mention before. I am a saint...

This shows you haven't spent enough time pondering Zeno.

When a christian sins, they don't sin because they are sinful, that is, because have a sinful nature. But they sin because they either believe they have a sinful nature, or because they gave in to external temptation. How does this not solve the problem. I'm sorry, in confused why this...

To be clear I don't believe in divine simplicity or that a born again Christian has a sinful nature. Rather our sin post salvation is that done like Adam. Adam had no sinful nature, yet sinned.
