But I wrote some responses which I’ll share with you. @Magical Chemical Daddy wrote; *”Are all these souls lying?”* * Lots of Christians have visions of the Virgin Mary. Does that mean that the Catholic teaching of Mary as a celestial being who can be relied on in prayer is true? Protestants don’t believe that. - This means Protestants do not rely on dreams or visions if it conflicts with Protestant faith. * Many people involved in Hinduism have had dreams or visions of a Hindu god or a guru especially in India. Christians don’t believe in those visions/dreams. * Christians also don’t believe in dreams/visions of a Buddhist who dreams of the Buddha or of Muslims have reported that they have seen the Prophet Muhammad in a dream or vision. * So, the answer for the Protestant Christian is, that dreams and visions are not reliable. @Magical Chemical Daddy wrote; *”There is a reason billions of Christians and less than 8 million practicing Judaism.”* * It is hard to build religions which don’t believe in the Trinity when people who did not believe in the Trinity were tortured and burned alive. I could give many examples of that. @Magical Chemical Daddy wrote; *”relying on his book interpretation skills”* * The religions of Judaism and Christianity depend on what is written down in books. Without book knowledge and interpretation, a person would not know with any accuracy about what is Judaism or Christianity. @Magical Chemical Daddy wrote; *”channel is dedicated to hating Jesus”* - No. Let’s start with the origin of the hate speech which requires book knowledge. - In John 8:44 a group of Jews and their leaders are told by Jesus they; *"belong to your father, the d e v i l"* - Revelation 2:9, the words from Jesus; *"9 ... I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of S a t a n."* - Revelation 3:9, more words from Jesus; *"9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of S a t a n, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are l i a r s..."* * The people who had synagogues were Jews. * These passages involve hate speech against Jewish leaders and the Jewish people. - An early Christian leader, Saint John Chrysostom who wrote. *"The synagogue is a b r o t h e l, a den of scoundrels, the temple of d e m o n s."* * This hatred of Jewish synagogues was continued with one of the founders of the Protestant movement, Martin Luther. *"First, that their synagogues be burned down...* *be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of d e v i l s"* * This hate speech by Saint John Chrysostom and Martin Luther is directly based on passages from the New Testament. * The persecution by Christian leaders continued involving Protestant leaders such as John Calvin as well as the Catholic inquisition as well as ghettos sanctioned by Christian leaders. It involved the call for the destruction of Jews by the German Lutheran church in the 1930s. - Many church organizations have apologized for these sins and crimes.

I think we differ in understanding of predestination as it meant to be. Predestination as taught in the Bible is NOT that everything that is happening is according to the will of God, but as God knew the END from the beginning everyones destiny is already determined in His sight. So, even if a person started evil in the eyes of everyone, but God knowing that the person will change and turn to Him, will make ways that the person will be lead to know Him to be saved, while those who may have started praiseworthy to everyone but would end up so arrogant before God is predestined in His sight to damnation. Saul was a choice king for the Jews but end up rejected by God, while David was just a lowly shepherd in the eyes of his people, but God saw him as a good king for His people. God STUBBORNLY "chase" Jonah to warn Nineveh, KNOWING that they will repent of their sins, while knowing the depravity of Sodom and Gomorrah, no warning was needed, but 2 angels were sent as favor for Abraham KNOWING he will ask for Lot and his family to be saved. Message: don't judge people on what we perceive them today, and don't reject people who seem to be worth nothing to the society for only God knows what they will be. Just a thought, could it be that the reason why the "father" of the prodigal son gave him what he wants KNOWING the wasteful son will come back wiser?

Paul was widely known by the earliest Christians to be a liar. Who do you think John, the author of The Book of Revelation, was referring to when he wrote "And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars.” Rev 2:2. You can prove Paul was a liar by the NT writings themselves. 1) He lied to the Galatians (chapter 2) when he relayed the outcome of his meeting with the Jerusalem Council and the instructions he received from them. 2) Paul lied before the Sanhedrin, c.f. Acts 21 and 23. 3) Paul lied to King Agrippa when recounting his conversion experience on the road to Damascus. There are many more but suffice to say that he was a liar and had a reputation as such.

In Islam, the concept of predestination, or "qadar," is the belief that everything that happens in the universe has been decreed by God. This includes all events, actions, and outcomes that occur in the world, as well as the fate of every individual. The Islamic belief in predestination is based on the idea that God is all-knowing and all-powerful, and that nothing happens in the universe without His knowledge and permission. We believe that God has complete control over the universe and everything in it, and that He has already determined what will happen in the future. (Determining here does not necessarily mean deciding as I’ll explain further down, but that he has written in the preserved tablets what he beforehand knew would happen in the future) However, this does not mean that God forces people to do certain things or commit certain sins. Rather, it is believed that human beings are given free will to make their own choices, and God simply knows in advance what those choices will be. This means that while God has written down everything that will happen in the universe in a book called the "Preserved Tablets”, the specific details of an individual's life are based on their own choices and actions. We believe that some aspects of a person's life are predetermined by God, such as when and where they will be born, how long they will live, and how much they will earn. However, this does not mean that God predetermined (decided) a person's choices or actions (like sinning, killing, fornicating etc). Rather, God has already written down what He knows will happen, based on the choices and actions that people will freely make throughout their lives. So in summary, God does decides certain things which are out of our control, but he also gives us free will to make our one choices that is concerned with our own choices and actions, and as always, Allâh knows best!

Free will may be discussed in two aspects: philosophers and scientists debate among various theories of volunteerism, determinism, and compatibilism. Then there are theologians, who argue free will as special pleading to get the gods out of the problem of evil.

The Bible (Ge:1:1-Re:22:21) is a book that talks about literal events that will occur because they are part of prophecies. Rather than being 'magical' they are a letter that tells people what is going to happen from when the earth fell into sin (Ge:3) and when it becomes sinless again. (Re:19). Re:20 starts off with Satan suffering the beginning of the prophesied 'bruise' from Ge:3:15. The 'heel bruise' was written about in the 4 Gospels. In the 'big picture' of who is gathered, and who is not, can be determined by Re:20:4-5 as that includes Adam and Eve as well as all their children born between Ge:5-Re:11:13. Re:11:13: And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. There is no number for how many people it takes to make up the 'whole House of Israel' or the Gentile Church. Rather than it being 'a random number' it could be that God had a specific number of people in mind as they will call New Jerusalem home from when they 1st enter it at the last event in Re:20. They are in it already before any people in Re:21 enter it, that is referencing the Re:20:5 group, rather than the people who will be alive for the 1,000-year reign. The last group to be gathered are taken to all parts of the universe and given a place that will experience what this earth went through in Ge:1. At the age of 120 years they will have 100 children, Gods makes them immortals, they then enter the 'grandfather stage' of an eternal life in the new earth era. Eternal people need to eat food, they stay on the same world they will be born on, until they are immortals like the angels who called the universe home before they ascended to their 'New Heaven' that is promised to them. All those people will come to New Jerusalem for many reasons, their 1st visit will be, they eat from the tree of life that changes them, they do not need food to remain alive after that. They can then go to any part of the universe as easily as we can cross a room. Revelation is given as 'numbers', like 1/3. That means a certain number will be subject to a prophecy. The 1/2 and 2/3 in Zec:13 is about the Gentiles who die when Jesus pours out all 7 vials (Re:16) that kills 2/3 as they are all followers of Satan, a fallen angel from Ge:3. 1,000 years later that punishment is removed and they start at the same place the 1/3 started on the same day the two witnesses were resurrected. The closest thing to 'free-will' is the ones being offered a drink of living water in Re:21. Considering that is like the angels being there at the very start of day1 of creation. They saw how every part of the universe as it was being made. End of day1 - end of day7 = 4B years. Start of day1 to end of day1 = 40B years, the big bangs was about 15BYA. Two huge objects, that hold the same mass as found in the universe today, they collided at a combined speed that was greater than the 'speed of light'.

Paul's concept predestination is different from Calvinism's. The children of God are predestined to get the blessings promised to the children of God. Not become children of God since they already are. As sons, they will receive a share in the world to come. Not become sons. Paul talks of many different salvations that God provides, the reader must discern what Paul is discussing. According to Peter, to understand Paul, you must be educated in Judaism. It is the uneducated who twist Paul's teachings to their own defeat.

Deut 30, 11-14 is about the Law, Rom 10, 6-8 is about imputed righteousness and faith. So Paul does not cite, he does compare: The righteousness by faith is as close to you as the Law. Deut 30, 11-14 does not say "you can do it". There is no "can" in the Hebrew. The verb "asa" is in the Infinite Construct, which might not mean ability. Deut 30 teaches, that Israel is not hindered from doing the Law by external circumstances. However, the Law is in the heart. That's a very bad place to be in according to Jer 17, 9: The human heart is wicked and deceitful. Jer 17, 5 says, you can't rely on men. So how can you save yourself?

Osiris & Christianity - The Christian Adoption of Egyptian Iconography, Symbolism, and Myth [This is quite good documentary and shows how after the original Jewish disciples were martyred the early church under Roman occupation began a centralized control and then the non bibilical costumes and dress of bishops, cardinals, popes. Also it does not exist in the bible that those invovled in organized religion should not marry except for one remark by Paul-1 Corinthians 7. All the original Jewish disciples were married as was Jesus. Paul was not one of the original disciples and never knew Jesus before his crucifiction and Paul was also married and apparently his wife left him. Therefore Paul was under an obligation not to remarry after his wife left him. All this was attempted to be covered up but the Dead Sea Scrolls have brought all this to the surface after 2,000 years.] How early Christianity grafted the Egyptian Isis - Osiris symbols and stories on to the newly forming Christian religion

That is what corrupt men told us. If you study the "Old Testament," you will see in your own Bible that human sacrifice is an abomination, no man can be punished to atone for the sins of others, we were never told the Messiah would do this, and blood is not necessary for atonement. Even charity atones for sin. Or flour if a person couldn't afford the sacrifice. We were deceived by Rome. Note their symbolism everywhere. They never went away. Best wishes.

You're rocking it dude! We don't have predestination that's another demon you got to fight off after you come out of that Christianity. You have free will if a man wishes to save his own life this apathy softball the five books that's it! We don't have any graven image has no false god he must become more I become less that makes him and idle a graven images across anything that represents his death. I am one I will never get my glory to another so everything you asked for in his name is a blasphemy to G-D. Because the five books Chloe stady eternal and that there wouldn't be no change he died because he taught a way different from our ways and our ways are to give you dignity integrity self-regard self-respect and so freaking control. All we want for you is the very best this happened to everybody everybody shocked by the things that happened and the Nazi situation I'm sorry to have said it happened because we allowed this book to be added on top of his I have to say that they either knew or didn't know or knew enough to where they got the whole punishment that's written in Exodus. announce a day I say us because that's my bloodline to I'm a benjamite from Daniel or Daniel Daniel excuse me Daniels a fallen angel. So is Ezekiel. The moral of the story is which my phone seems to have its own cut-off limit so I know I got CIA FBI numbers and all kinds of shit because I'm a prophet and I really get tired of it because it is the most disrespectful inhumane insane thing I've ever seen anybody do and when I point you in a direction you can read what I told you and you can find that there ain't nothing out of place and then I know every single book ever written about G-D. Now I also have this to add about my experiences. The devil pointed you back in the direction looking for a devil but he was in New blood chosen and your soul to him which tells you the rest of the definitions in the prophecy is Kepler jet so that you have an accurate and true foundation in which you can follow yourself out that's why I told you had two lanes you got one going in and one coming out and that's why I told you that if you don't understand what I'm saying to you unless I wouldn't freaking bind you up in a bunch of crap and tell you what he was doing to you while you was doing it to you that's what Christianity did.. what I'm telling you is God will never give his glory do another you shall have no one else besides Michelle and that other than names let it be found on your lips I am when I would never get my glory to another all these things cause you to do every single sin even your own errors and you are not covered. And at the end of it is strong derision is given which means they will refuse you from entry because you did not obey God that's why I'm doing what I'm doing. now the way it's been played out and I might get thrown out of heaven I'm breathing this stuff like a wildfire and I'm going to cover my ass and every angle because I don't really feel it's fair that I was putting the situation to begin with I heard him in the womb seen with my own eyes and I'm not your freaking enemy nor am I his. I don't give a shit what anybody else says about I was a good man and I was a good boy and I care about people I don't understand how that all this stuff was labeled besides the fact that none of them really knew me. The things that make it more hostile is when you read Enoch and I'm born the seventh day of the first weekend I do not know heaven & hell face-to-face and I do have a daughter. Do you think I'm not brokenhearted you think I'm not struggling through all this stuff that you're going through? Deuteronomy 4.

Yes that's nice fact is your following a a pagan man god, it's only pagan theology that a man can be born a G-D by his father being a preveterted being and sleeping with a young juvenile woman it's even more pagan to believe that G-d can die. If G-d dies then everything comes to an end. So the fact of the matter is is if Jesus died and resurrected he wS resurrected by someone greater than himself otherwise he was never a worthy sacrafice even though human sacrafice is a abomination to G-d period. Basically saying if your so called god died then there must have been a greater G-d to resurrect him period. If G-d is dead then there must be something greater to bring him back.

The doctrine of predestination comes about through later thinkers trying to make sense of the senseless. God makes us all, he makes some of us physically and mentally weak, so he predestines if you believe in the all powerful God. I've seen babies die in front of me, that is predestination, that is God's will, if you believe in the all powerful God. Dead babies had no option of free will, there's your proof it's a lie, but still you don't see it. If you believe in dualism you blame the devil. The free will notion is the easiest lie to see through, because God made us, he made us weak mentally in certain areas, we will fall to certain temptations, and God being all knowing knew this. The church leaders saw this and came up with predestination idea because becoming Atheist or Zoroastrian was not an option in those days, or maybe they didn't know. We do know. I was once a Christian but when you think it through you realise it makes no sense. Some people chose to be an atheist or Buddhist others choose Islam or Judaism and so do not release themselves from this illogical roundabout.

The church fathers were trying to explain an absurdity and came out with another one. The good rabbi supports the free will idea which is just as absurd. It's absurd because in 150BC the Jews mixed a whole lot of contradictory ideas together from a whole lot of places and created Judaism, a religion which makes no sense. For the rabbi to mock Christianity is ok, but it's largely stupid because it's based on an older stupidity.

There are large categories of christians who do not believe in the reformed doctrine of total inability. I am no Hebrew scholar, but reading predestination in Romans and the rest of the Pauline corpus makes the most sense in corporate election unto service. This idea synthesizes the OT usage of 'election' or 'closeness' the best. I think the reformed doctrines largely miss the mark.

So, the question should be asked, is it possible that "certain" men are "predestined" towards accomplishing God's plan? For example, were the Patriarchs special because they were "predetermined" to be "righteous"? Was Moses predestined before he was born to be the means by whom God would use him in particular lead the Israelites out of Egypt? Is not foreknowledge linked with predestination? If God created the souls of the righteous and kept them in a repository (the Guf) to be merged with its pre-determined human body at a "predetermined" time of conception, how is it not possible for that God-created soul to accomplish either small or great things in God's plan (unless that particular soul was meant to accomplish it). Isn't prophecy fulfilled by people who are predestined to fulfill that prophecy? I'm not talking about "salvation (who is righteous and who isn't)" or who will be saved or not, I'm writing about predestination in the sense of historical events past and future.

It is irrelevant in God's eyes who is more talented or who has a greater predisposition towards doing good and who has an easier time accomplishing. All that matters is what a person does with the lot he was given in life and the settings God gave him. In other words, you got to give it all you got. That's all that God asks and this is the only way to understand life. Otherwise, life seems so unfair and God would frankly seem a bit psychotic. This is why you can't judge anyone since we really have no idea what baggage each person is carrying. So it makes no difference if one person is born as a Moses and one as a prophet and another as a regular person. They are all judged according to their lot

This doesn't make sense to me from an Islamic POV, how can you claim to have an Absolute, Eternal, and All-knowing God when you don't attribute to Him the nature of being All-Knowing from Eternity on. It leaves you with 2 options: 1) Non-Eternal God that changes 2) Weak and Limited God that simply doesn't know everything and has limitations. Not to mention that I feel like there may have been a conflation between Determinism and Predestination. Because in both Islam and Christianity, determinism is not viewed as opposite to free will, whereas determinism makes free will non existent and null by definition.
