"Goddidit"

But if Abraham would have had an epiphany on the way and realized that God wasn't actually going to have him kill his son, then he wouldn't have been demonstrating any faith by taking Isaac up into the mountains.

Abraham went there with the full intent to end Isaac's life.

Had God not stopped him, he would have done so.

 

[AV1611VET]

Mountains? What mountains?

The exact spot where Isaac was to be sacrificed is the exact spot where Jesus Christ was crucified.

Oh wow, thanks for pointing that out. I just did some research and it seems that the highest point in Moriah would have been Golgotha, where Christ was crucified. That's very interesting.

You're quite welcome, my friend ---

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

Notice the play on words?

Kind of makes you wonder what th original Hebrew said.

Though some people hate to see threads get OT, I actually enjoy it. I do not mind that my thread is OT because I think everything that could be said about it was said. So here is a new question. Is getting OT more of a creationist diversion tactic, or a "evolutionist" tactic? I see many creationists go OT when confronted with difficult questions.

So are you saying God is not made of matter? I've stated before why you are wrong.

That was meant as a joke; since you mentioned getting off-topic.

Both sides go offtopic fairly often. The difference is however that this is largely all that creationists have; evolution is obviously true anyway, so all the rest is for the lulz

I was going to ask, "Does God have mass?" It doesn't make sense that a non-physical being could make physical matter from literally nothing.

Oh, but I guess it was a joke. Or not. I dunno.

 

[AV1611VET]

I was going to ask, "Does God have mass?"

I don't think He does.

It doesn't make sense that a non-physical being could make physical matter from literally nothing.

Does it make sense that a non-physical omnipotent Being can?

 

[CoderHead]

Does it make sense that a non-physical omnipotent Being can?

No. And I must clarify that I'm only speaking for me.

 

[AV1611VET]

Interesting reply.

Does that work the other way around?

Can a physical omnipotent being create non-physical reality?

No.

Then no wonder it doesn't make any sense.

Well, it worked.

 

[AV1611VET]

Well, it worked.

I tried to find something way OT, so it would stick out like a sore thumb.

This much should be obvious. An omnimax being is logically impossible. Not to say that one cannot or does not exist, but that its existence would be illogical.
