Yes .. we can sin against ourselves. eg. get intoxicated to the extent we know not what we do In any case, you should know better:- According to Hinduism, pāpa (sin) is a transgression, or demerit, signifying deeds or intentions that transgress moral and spiritual laws, resulting in negative...

A nation's path in life is affected by the beliefs of its people. eg. laws

Agreed upon .. G-d created evil, in as much as He created beings capable of evil.

..human beings can be devils. i.e. they are created beings capable of evil It's all about authority .. not taking other than G-d as an equal authority. G-d has no needs .. sin is that which is detrimental to us. Not that again.. :rolleyes:

That is equivalent to asking why the universe exists.. Many things are hidden from us in this life. We can philosophise, but cannot expect to answer all such questions. No, because G-d is Holy, free from desire and defect. Hate is a human imperfection. 😑 Devils are created beings like...

OK .. because He knows what you will choose of your own free-will. No, it is not possible. ..because if you had wanted to wear the red shirt, G-d would have known it. Whatever way you want to frame it, you are commiting the same fallacy. You create a conditional that is dependent on what G-d...

G-d promises that righteousness will be rewarded. ..no G-d, no hope for the future. ..or perhaps you are more optimistic than me, with the Doomsday Clock at 85 secs to midnight. :(

Yes. We see both good, and evil. The evil comes from within ourselves. The idea that G-d does not exist does not change that. If anything, it makes it worse. 😑 i.e. there is no hope for mankind

It does. G-d created creatures capable of evil. I don't agree with that. That is like saying that G-d does not care one way or the other, whether we choose evil or not. I don't believe that.

If G-d knows you "would NOT want to wear it", then you will not want to wear it.. Whatever shirt you want to choose, He knows it .. Of course, you might not think it possible for an agent to know what you will freely choose at some time in the future. That has little to do with your present...

@Tiberius Yes .. human beings have agency. No. Yes .. I believe that free will is compatible with a "determined" (known) future, with our choices being involved in that future. ..and regards @Tiberius last post in Christianity forum: "In a universe where I will wear the Blue shirt, God has...

Probably.. Concepts often get altered or lost in translation .. I was thinking of "seven days".

Mmm .. but you brought it up: "You're over-simplifying. That's like saying atoms aren't actually particles, so all physics is myth ..." :)

Yeah, we call it a particle .. for want of a better word. :)

Photons have no mass, so are not particles .. neither are they waves. ;)

I was going to email you, if it had gone on for much longer. :)

OK .. I look at the whole (of Scriptures) to help in understanding and interpreting its verses. I do believe that 'time' belongs to G-d. :) I also note that people don't seem to have a problem with being "in heaven" forever and ever. ..whatever "forever and ever" actually means. I think this...

I understand it that good deeds and bad deeds have an effect upon us and others. If we destroy ourselves by following evil, then it is extremely difficult to reverse it. i.e. we become that evil Eternity belongs to G-d .. I don't pretend to know all about it. Is "forever and ever" longer than...

It's all in your imagination. 🐰

"If God knows I will not choose the red shirt" is a conditional statement. You are the one who is suggesting it ("if"), so you cannot make any conclusion about "what is available to choose". ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If God knows I will not choose the red shirt, I will choose the...
