What is the future?

Post by ultimate777 »

I had this thread about Scrooge and the future. It got very involved. And I made the mistake of forgetting about it for a while :oops: And it seems nobody has posted on it for 23 days. So if I posted on it now it is likely I would get no replies.

So I'm starting a newer one taking on the subject from a different angle.

Might the words "the future" refer to something on the order of a thought experiment? That it really only exists when it becomes the present or the past? That prayer might actually mean something because God does not know what you will pray before you pray it and then of His own free will can decide what He wants to do? That He actually did not know that Lucifer, Satan, or whatever he should be called was going to rebel when God created him? That God could not have known what Satan was going to do to humanity rather tha knowing and creating him anyhow?

I know that is not possible if the Bible is mistake free, Revelations for one thing, but other than the Bible being mistake free do you have anything else to use to disagree with me?

With out Satins rebellion we would not be here humanity. Satin in some ways grows us closer to god because the things we endure and go through.

This is silly.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.
I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

The person may have a poor command of English. I've run into quite a bit of that on the internet.

Quite true ofcourse, my criticism was not aimed at his poor English but rather the idea he proposed.
