That is not in scripture anywhere. It just says that from the beginning, God knew people would be conceived and born. It does not teach that God knew from the beginning those who those would be conceived and born.

There's a big difference between adding full stops, commas, punctuation marks, verses, chapters - and moving sections of text around.

I can't just take your word for what the scribes did with his original text. You are just guessing, and the accounts already make sense without resorting to such gymnastics.

So, it's not taught in scripture. You are reading it into scripture. According to your theory, then, God has never planned anything, has never had one thought follow another thought, and God never reasoned before creation of this universe's light. That comes across as totally unconvincing as a...

What does this mean? It sounds like you saying that Moses made a mistake and put Gen 1:2 in the wrong place. So, I presume I am misunderstanding your point.

Where is this taught in scripture?

Judas was foreknown and predestinated to walk a path to salvation. He chose a different path with a different end.

By the time someone reaches an age where they can decide to receive Jesus Christ, they have been foreknown by God since conception. Everyone is foreknown by God and predestined for salvation. Communion with God is a state God wants everyone to reach, but we get to choose whether that kind of...

No problem there for me, which is why I see no problem with seeing trinitarianism implicit, though not explicit, in scripture.

Also, a heavenly body is an angel's rightful habitation, so dwelling in a human body by demonic possession, would be leaving their first estate/habitation for another one to which they were not entitled.

Many things are not predestinated by God. Murders, rapes, thefts and many other things are not predestinated by God. In context, the verse you cited does not say that all those who will be rejected but will claim to have prophesied, cast out devils and did miracles in Jesus' name were never at...

The Bible does ot say that time had beginning.

Only if "saved by a passing fishing boat" means "saved by a passing fishing boat alone".

I don't "hate" the idea of the absolute immutability of God. I just don't embrace it because it is not taught in scripture. I do hate the attitude of those who infer things from reading verses out of context and then anathemise other Christians who don't agree with their flimsily supported...

One of his genetically perfect sisters. Over time human genetic code became corrupted and marrying close relatives would result in mental and physical deformities, but this would not have been an issue for the first few generations of humans.

By faith He saves our soul from being alienated from God now, and by faith He also saves our bodies from sickness now and from death at the resurrection.

That first paragraph should read, "Read it in context, friend. God is rebuking Israel for braking their covenants with their wives, and God is saying that He has not changed His covenant with Jacob.

Read it in context, friend. God is rebuking Israel for braking their covenants with their wives, and God is saying that He does not change His covenants Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change (ShaNiYTHiY, Qal Perfect 1st person common singular, I have not changed) not; therefore ye sons of Jacob...

Jhn 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Jhn 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? Jhn 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body. Jesus said He would...

No. And I also do not believe that "Let them destroy your body, and after three days you will be able to raise that body up again'" is a command to resurrect yourself." Nor do I believe that "Lay your life/soul down and in three days you will receive it again," is a command to resurrect yourself.
