If you think I will take you seriously because you spout a Greek word or two you are mistaken my friend.
I have read all of the posts in this thread and nowhere is there any biblical evidence that the dead cannot repent. And the fact that our argument against it is not only based entirely on the "metaphors" of the bible, but also on reason. And I have given you reasons why this would not make since with a "loving god". I do want to see your biblical evidence, even so.
I have not distorted the scripture. Maybe I have interpreted it in such a way. That is an actual verse and I have not distorted it: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Probably one of the only verses in the bible that makes any sense. John Chapter 1 verse 1. My point in using the "greek word" as you said was not to be taken more seriously. It is just another way of describing one aspect of your "God".
You can look at my description of the absolute nature of God this way.
I am me. I myself am unchanging because I will always be me. "God" is also unchanging in such a manner. Yet he can still act in different ways according to all that he is. In this manner his actions are NOT absolute the same as my actions are not always absolute. Yet, all that God is(his pattern as I worded it), IS absolute. I have not distorted scripture whatsoever. To back this up there is a ton of biblical evidence that Gods actions are not absolute. Just read the old testament.
And my analogy may not be so great because all that I am is most likely not really absolute, yet biblically all that God is, is absolute. The logic still works either way.
