So which will I follow?
I serve and worship the God of the bible and not the anti-christ it warns is comming.
So basically, if you ever see Jesus learning anything or revising his position on any subject, you'll just think it's the devil. In your mind, the anti-christ coming to visit you personally is more likely than Jesus Christ learning.

The crux of my question is not to investigate if it's Satan, the Anti-Christ or some other tarnished angel.
I clearly mentioned in my post to assume its the real deal.
Once again, which is it, Drich?

Haha. I got all this swerving when I asked theists if they would kill their family if God told them to. Some questions they are just never gonna answer because their brain won't accept either response.
God would never do that!!
Except, you know, that he already did do that.

That's a feedback loop of cognitive dissonance. Well played!
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

It's at least more likely than Drich learning and adjusting his outlook.

Apparently god got some counseling between the OT and the NT. He is a much nicer guy now. Doesn't mean you should tug on His cape or fuck with him, you know? A guy like that could turn in an instant.

I don't see how the other two could work. To deny Jesus and accept the Bible is a nonstarter, and to deny the Bible makes Jesus essentially a complete unknown.

Yes..
Define all knowing.
Now is it possible to 'learn something' if one is all knowing?

Again in the book of revelation, this is exactly how the anti Christ presents. He fools EVERYONE who does not know the God of the bible, because he can do many of the works of Christ. But he is not Christ.
So Again, I serve the God of the bible, and 'god' who does not follow the bible is the devil in disguise.

A silly notion about a mythical being. On par with the uber characteristics of the comic book character Superman, only regarding knowledge instead of invulnerability. Just because we can make this shit up doesn't mean it actually exists.
I couldn't begin to define "all knowing". I'm no more qualified to do so than you Drichy boy.

All knowing is someone who is a slave to their own powers because they already know everything they are doing to do and can't change it. Bummer!

First of all, Jesus was not all knowing:
Matthew 24:36 Wrote:But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
And in Mark 5:30, Jesus asks a question for which he doesn't know the answer, and when he isn't supplied an answer, he looks for one. So the basis of what you're saying is flat out wrong.
Second of all, an all knowing person could certainly change their position on something; they still have a personality, after all, and that's mutable over time. There's no reason an omniscient person couldn't grow and mature. And if Jesus couldn't learn something, then he's certainly not all powerful. Therein lies the trilemma theodicy attempts to solve.
