A question for Pagans--what's happening at my hous

by Kingpawn in

by now many of you know i'm studying wicca, am in contact with a high priestess of a coven who's graciously answering many questions i have, and i'm also studying tarot cards online.. this past weekend the exercise with lesson three on the tarot was to do some sample readings.

some odd things have happened since then.

i bolded them for easier finding.. since then, my youngest daughter and i have heard a scratching sound that i took to be birds on the spouting, though we couldn't see it.

I can do odd O/C things now and then. But I had a girlfriend with a mild form of OCD:

She sometimes carried hand sanitizer and washed hands as soon as she got in.
Didn't like to touch metal (unless handcuffs ) especially anything rusty.
Didn't like to touch cold, wet foods or any food in the sink.
Arranged movies categorically and alphabetically (of course she had a lot).
Arranged clothes categorically and chromatically.
Liked bottle labels all pointing forward.
Didn't like her routine being messed with and often needed to "emotionally prepare" for certain things.

Drove me nuts sometimes!

i mean yeah satan laid out the sales pitch but they could have said no.

Joe Alward: If the god described in the Bible exists, then that god evidently just decided not to know the future--all of it, in order to give man free will.

Joe, does knowledge remove free will? What of the prophetic nature of the Bible? Or does God not know the future, but just shape it the way he wants?

Personally, I agree with Funky's 1a, that the Bible suggests:

God is omnipotent and could have created Adam and Eve in a way that they would not sin, and still retain free will but chose not to do so.

Not only did he choose not to create them in a way that would avoid sin, he purposely placed a catalyst before them (The Tree) so they would fail soon after. Same goes for Satan.

Birthday lament

by mike047 in

first, let me say; i am not looking for congrat's, hugs, empathy or sympathy.

this just my thoughts on my life.

today, i am 55 years old.

LucidSky

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE047!!!

Downer post for a birthday though.

I strongly believe that the meaning to life is what we individually want it to be. If you feel that contributing to the world brings more meaning to your existance, there are plenty of volunteer programs that you can help with.

I remember thinking about this "omniscient" vs "selective knowledge" thingy as I was leaving the JW's. The main reasons JW's probably adopted this teaching is (1) it removes God from blame and (2) it allows free-will that is unpredicatable.

It seems that the Christian God would have to be completely omniscient though. How can you decide what not to know, if you don't know what it is???
