That's why I'm asking. The greater good is YHVH's Law.
Aren't you glad you don't live in biblical times, in Israel?
The law was given by YHVH to create a society that would be a witness to the world of YHVH's goodness, his righteousness, his justice, his love, mercy, faithfulness, and graciousness.
Some people think that it's actually a good thing to keep their clothes on when it comes to being around other people's spouses.
Jealousy is a powerful thing. Would you want your wife screwing around with your friends, brother, uncles, dad, grandfather, etc.?
Then, some people actually think that taking one day a week to rest and recuperate from a hard week of work is a good thing.
No other cultures had that.
They also had a pretty impressive holiday schedule. At least 2 weeks a year. Special holidays in between.
@TLK Valentine
I'll have to get back with you later, right now I've got to go do things right now for a little while today, but will get back to you, promise.
God Bless!
Have you even been reading my posts???@Neogaia777: Then you are describing a different God. One who didn't know His plan was going to work can't have been omniscient.
Sin in His/Their case (God the Spirit and God the Son) would probably be disobeying the Law that was established by the Father from before the beginning, etc...It would be ontologically impossible for Jesus or the HS to sin, if the trinity is to be believed... "Sin" is an act of disobedience against God, and how can God disobey Himself?
Just a thought; according to God there exist only One Who is goodA wise man once said, "A good man doesn't need any rules..."
Have you even been reading my posts???
Anyway, I thought I was pretty clear from where I stand, etc...?
And it's not like it was my idea originally, but Jesus's, etc...
God Bless!

God Bless!
Just a thought; according to God there exist only One Who is good
Luke 18:19 (KJV)
[19] And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
So where does this leave your wise man?
What plan failed?If you were omniscient (like God) and you implemented a plan which you knew was going to fail (because your omniscient) then would you implement it?
I don't understand the twice in reference to God's plan?Twice?
Well, about free will, I believe in the whole of the entire universe having been determined from the beginning, etc, and it only being able to go only one way since that time, and I think God the Father is the One who determined it, etc...Which raises some sticky questions regarding free will which are better left unanswered.
If Exodus is to be believed, God hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he wouldn't free the Israelites, so that God could smack them with another plague...
Can Pharaoh be held responsible for these actions if God was controlling his choices? What chance did Pharaoh ever have to resist God's influence?
Take too much to explain right now, no offense, etc...Well, in the case of Jesus, the whole point of the incarnation is that he was fully human, not just "God in a human suit," as it were.
To be fully human means psychologically as well as physically -- the human experience with all the mystery, uncertainty, and anxiety that goes with it. So how much of Jesus' prediction was divine, and how much of was as a human... savvy in the ways of human nature?
As for the Holy Spirit, that's always a more nebulous thing, isn't it? I've been told that the HS is that part of God that He, like any other artist, writer, or creator, leaves behind in His work. I may not be a Christian, but I like that description.
It is impossible to be 100% totally and fully omniscient from the beginning and have your quote/unquote "plans", fail, etc...Let me ask you a simple question. If you were omniscient (like God) and you implemented a plan which you knew was going to fail (because your omniscient) then would you implement it? Twice?
God the Father determined a time of some evil, yes...Then you believe God determined sin?
What plan failed?
I don't understand the twice in reference to God's plan?
It is impossible to be 100% totally and fully omniscient from the beginning and have your quote/unquote "plans", fail, etc...
And that is why God the Father's hasn't, and won't, and never will, etc...
God Bless!
