AF Hall of Shame (Theist edition)

[Faith No More]

I don't get your point FNM. You're saying that you shouldn't live the life you're judged upon. Then on what are you judged? What were the choices? Is your question: "Why isn't the universe a theoretical model rather than an actual model?"? If God skipped the middleman, he should also skip everything.

God did test you. He didn't skip to the end before you made the choices. You had to make those choices first.

The part I bolded is what I'm getting at. Why did we have to make the choices if god already knows the outcome regardless of whether we actually make those decisions or not?

Think about it from a pre-universe perspective as god is planning his creation. He decides he wants to create intelligent organisms that choose whether or not to spend eternity in his presence. But he already knows how it's going to play out, and who will choose him and who won't.

If life is a test, and god already knows how we will do on that test, what is the purpose of letting life play out.

IOW FNM, Frodo isn't denying the absurdity of the situation - he's rolling around in it gleefully.

You're such an instigator.

Catfish, do you remember a time when you were at least trying to say something when you posted?

No one does.
