God literally created time and space. There was no “beginning” before the beginning because before the beginning there was no time. As our universe expands, so does the boundaries of the space-time continuum. God created it. Therefore, he does not have to exist within it.

And therefore, because he created time itself and space itself, he is omnipotent and omnipresent because he is capable of being everywhere all the time.

 
Also, people who discount the existence of angels have never considered the concept of extradimensional planes of existence on which other beings may exist and be capable of some level of interaction with this one.

Apparently, you take everything literally as undeniable facts that must be read in the first degree without thinking nor smiling: the Bible as much as Frink’s posts …

Regarding the Bible: I did not say my understanding of God creating time and space is fact. It is my understanding.

Citation needed.

Now really. How would he have explained the space-time continuum to people who lived thousands of years ago? And when such an explanation would have been beside the point?

I didn’t ask for a citation on how he created it, I asked for a citation on that he created it.

As opposed to it happening spontaneously?

you act like you just made an irrefutable point

No.

You said “God literally created time and space.”.
It looks like you present it as an indeniable fact to me…

But you are inferring that on your own. I did not say it is indeniable. Do I have to say “In my opinion” or “From my perception” or “How I have come to understand it” at the beginning of my posts in order for them to not be perceived as my saying they’re fact?

You said it’s literally what happened, so don’t be surprised if I take what you say literally.

Yes, I said God literally created time and space. I did not say he did it in seven 24-hour time periods. I did not say it is scientifically provable. I did not say it is fact. I did not say how he did it. And it wasn’t my point.

My point was that the Bible doesn’t say precisely how he did it because the people back then would not understand it and it was not important for them to know.

You, conversely, because you do not agree with me assert what I said as though I think it scientifically provable. I never said that it was. Just just because it isn’t scientifically provable doesn’t mean it isn’t so.

bookmarking this for when I need a citation for missing the point.

I did not miss the point. It is not explicitly written. But for it to be written would mean it was explained to or understood by those who wrote it. But how could ancient Isrealites (or anyone from the ancient world, really) have possibly understood physics even as we currently know it? How would they comprehend the concept that the universe is over 13 billion years old, or the creation of stars from nebulae?

And as I said, for them to know such things is not the point when it comes to having a relationship with God. Summarizing events into “days” is easier to comprehend. Not that a 24-hour day makes literal sense as a reference when this planet and our local star didn’t even exist yet.

What are you reading?

Currently reading Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House

The book was high Bannon-centric. Many events that happened in the book were told in a manner from Bannon’s perspective. Also, the book seems to say that Trump fired Comey in part because Kushner and Ivanka were continually pressing him to do so.

 
I then switched to

It’s interesting so far. The novel is broken up into 15 “books”, so I might consider taking the whole thing in small chunks.

Chyron = 39 (going on 12 😉)

Yes.

I’m sure you’re saying I’m immature, but I don’t care.

Wait, Marks gets a smiley emoji and I get this?

One person saying it is cute. Two people saying it is suspicious.
Also, gender inequality and all that. Maybe.

But again, I don’t really care. I’m terrible at going out of my way to live up to perceived expectations—especially my own, so I’m just going to be me. If I’m immature for it, then so be it.

I think that is just Chryon holding grudges about perceived slights.

No.

which seems to be his standard operating procedure.

You’re coloring my opinion with your own. No, I do not hold grudges.

If I recently mentioned the argument I once had with Frink about MLP and whatnot, I only mentioned it in a relevant context. I did not complain. And mentioning it does not mean I’m holding a grudge or am bitter about it.

You should sigh more often again. No sarcasm intended.

I thought it was amusing.

more disliked my sighing than liked it.

Possessed said:

You take everything on this forum way too seriously.

…I’m not sure they did. Maybe a few didn’t like it, but I think maybe they were reacting more strongly (in jest) than what they genuinely felt and you didn’t catch it?

Maybe?

I mean seriously, get over this, get over me, and get over yourself. There’s more to this site than fixing whatever you think is wrong with me.

Frink, if you really think _ender has to be the kind of friend you want him to be, you might want to rein it in there.

That makes zero sense.

To you. Hence the problem.

But he isn’t requesting that _ender change himself. Neither am I. So it doesn’t make sense if you think about it that way.

It does make sense. _ender wanted to have friends. People he could communicate with that actually gave a shit about his opinion, and he theirs. You guys are saying “It’s the internet. Who gives a shit what anyone thinks?” and that’s not what he wants. What you want from him is not what he wants from you. So either you need to care or he needs to stop, but either way, someone needs to change and it’s not necessarily all on him to do it.
